Hi everybody! Thank you so much for all the views and your lovely comments!! If you're a bassist and you'd like to learn these bass lines, you can download the Backing Track AND a PDF file (notes and tabs). The link to your free download is in the description. Thanks again and may the funk be with you. Idogo
When many people talk about Jamiroquai, they think about Jay K but the entire band is amazing and cheers to Stuart Zender for many of these fantastic bass lines. Many of these basslines from Zender are the groovy reason many folks out there like these songs
Jamiroquai’s music is roughly 25 years old. But it doesn’t sound old. It sounds classic. It’s like some 70s soul music never gets old. The definition of classic is it never sounds old forever. In this way, I prefer the early years of Jamiroquai.
Jamiroquai are my wifes favorite band and I'm bass player. These things aren't connected but i do come back and watch this video every couple of weeks. Great video, great sound and great groove!
Let's be honest: there are far more than 6 classic Jamiroquai basslines. That band is a goldmine when it comes to basslines, mainly due to Stuart Zender (Nick Fyffe and Paul Turner also have some nice ones). Aspiring bassists, learn Jamiroquai songs (particularly the first 4 albums, as Stu played on them). They're so fun to play.
When I first started training as a Goldsmith, one of the first things I made was the Jameriquai figure from Space cowboy. I still have it. Nice bit of silver and nice memories of Jameriquai...
Sha e I cant add a picture here really. That pendant has been with me through thick and thin over the years. Its co e to represent t so much more than a love of Jameriquai and a lot of hard work becoming a Goldsmith. So much more. It represents survival in a way now too. And rejuvenation, keeping going through hell and high water....
@@Idogomusic we need to tell the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure anime studio to use that Jamiroquai song for their next season's anime ending since the character Weather Report is basically inspired by the band look wise. They've always used a famous rock band song for their anime ending themes.
@@fastbike6764 Jojo has never referenced this song, nor anything relating to Jamiroquai. Jay Kay's Buffalo Man is only tangentially similar to Weather Report's hat, since they look very distinct otherwise. (The Buffalo Man probably isn't even wearing a hat. It looks more like hair.) The horns are of a different shape and length, and so is the shape of the hat, with Weather's being cylindrical, unlike the Buffalo Man's more spherical head. In fact, Jay has never worn the Bufflao hat in any live performance, often employing different hats and headdresses. This mostly comes from a fan animation rotoscoping Weather over Jay, but it is not reference made or intended by Araki (as his references are often more blatant.) Neither property influenced the other, and it is a fact that Jamiroquai is not referenced in any shape or form in the series. Besides, the lyrics that match up are few and far between. The majority of the song has no connection with SO, since Jay isn't singing about children switched at birth and whatnot, he's singing about how the future is slowly being consumed by technology that disconnects us from reality (relative to when the song was written), and how people are accepting and even welcoming the "insanity", including Jay himself. Any similarities are purely coincidental, nor is there any evidence to assume Araki was specifically influenced by this song, and this song as it stands far precludes SO.
I learned to play the intro to "Too young to die" when I first picked up my bass...months of listening to that song over and over again...Stuart Zender is the reason I can play anything. Good job dude!
Ya Jay Kay!!!!! Awesome video. 😁 I saw y'all live back in the day, when I was still living in Florida. It was at The Sunrise Theater in Fort Lauderdale. Soooo good. 😎👍👍
Stuart Zender was a legend and together with Jay Kay they made some great tunes. After Stu left they were never the same. Nice playing man and bonus points for looking like Jay Kay.
That sounds great. When you highlight the bass, man that music grooves. Love Jamiroqui 💗, it's Jay's vocal and sweet sweet bass that makes it sublime...
Tenho certeza que você não compreende meu idioma, mas sua performance da linha de baixo do Stu me trouxe paz!!! Obrigado. Hugs from Brazil. Viva Jamiroquai - Stu and JK forever.
Jamiroquai and Bass, you played them great! My favorite album is rock dust light star... I’m the man on the moon, hope I don’t come back to soon, am I the only one to see the light...
I always never overly liked Jamiroquai, but once I started playing bass - that blend between staccato and legato notes, that was how I learnt how to funk properly. That wasn't flea or les claypool, was that bass player, and I don't know his name. Barely know the name of John Paul Johns from Led Zeppelin. Ah well, cheers anyways lol.
I clicked on the suggested thumbnail, as I thought 'J-Kay, playing bass covers to his own music?'..... I didn't realise it wasnt him, until after the video & I went to the comments
I don’t know s thing about Jamiroquai but I do know and you killed that. I see a big learning curve for coming over as a guitarist! You get your sound from your attack with right hand. The thumb slaps (I am impressed) look like a whole new language. lol. I guess I am all in for some Jamiroquai. I do like a lot of different styles.
Almost immediately after starting to listen to this, I got crazy feelings if deja vu. These songs remind me so much of the Persona (3+) OSTs. There has to be some connection.
The connection is the genre. From what I've seen, acid jazz seems to have peaked in popularity around the late 90s but never really solidified itself as an enduring part of mainstream culture. Now, I'm gonna put on my tin foil hat for a second. Another genre that peaked in the late 90s is city pop, which could be described as Japan's response to American 80s pop. It's almost like it took a decade for that musical style to move from America to Japan. Now we have another example of that happening; acid jazz peaking in America in the 90s, then the Persona soundtrack (as well as the original Gran Turismo music that other comments have likened this to) being written in the 00s. So, maybe Japanese musicians just really like America's decade-old music for some reason? That's the best answer I've got.
Japan loves a lot of 70s-90s genres, jazz and Brazilian music. You even hear influences in some modern J-Pop songs. They also love EDM and classical music.

This is really good

You are actually impressive

Thanks for sharing that information..I always wondered it's because of that is why I love the music 🎵🎶
The Main bass line was created by Paul Turner
Without vocals it sounds like old Gran Turismo menus music 😁
This could have been Out Run however
I was just about to comment the exact same
true
When you washed your car and changed the oil in GT4 😂
OMG, YES!!!
Clicked for the hat - stayed for the groove!
Thanks for clicking...and staying
@@Idogomusic You are slick mate
Clicked for the groove, stayed for the hat
Clicked for the self intoxication stayed for the smell of self intoxication
I thought is Jam himself. Stayed because I was impressed with revolution. Jam really did define a sound and grooved the hell out of the 90s
Jamiroquai’s music is roughly 25 years old.
But it doesn’t sound old. It sounds classic.
It’s like some 70s soul music never gets old.
The definition of classic is it never sounds old forever.
In this way, I prefer the early years of Jamiroquai.
It's timeless.
That last album was garbage.
Hahahaha. And you heard of Stevie Wonder and Earth Wind and Fire. No diss to Jay but thats why..
funk is never out of style
Music with such a good flow, it's like a running stream of energy at the exactly the right speed, makes you wanna shift gear.
Absolutely timeless!
The 3 first Jamiroquai albums are unreached.. my all time favourites
Every now and then YT comes up with a gem. Today is that day.
Nice playing..
Bass is the King in every music!
It always amazed me how perfectly spot on Jamiroquai hits both the classic Funk and Disco bass lines. I love them.
After I hear too young to die, I start to consider that bass is my most favorite instrument!
Bass is the best!
If you like that sound, you should check some of the tracks from the games Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal. They're real good.
@@ass5778 thanks for the info
Wise choice.
Stuart Zender :)
Stuart Zender’s playing with Jamiroquai was always super tasty
This sound never gets old...

Time won't wait should definitely be on the list
Agreed ! I picked up a bass a year ago and have been playing along to this video as my warm up every single day ! Zender is the GOAT !!!
Those are my favourite bass lines from Jamiroquai... I also think that travelling without moving and revolution 1993 are so underrated. Well done.
Thank you... and thanks for watching
Jamiroquai jumped the shark by letting Stuart Zender go, he was a masterful groove machine. And only 17
on Jamiroquais debut album. My fav bassist.
No way! I never knew he was so young!
When I first started training as a Goldsmith, one of the first things I made was the Jameriquai figure from Space cowboy. I still have it. Nice bit of silver and nice memories of Jameriquai...

Sick bass work, man! The bass, like any instrument, can become a lead instrument in its own right.
Our kid is Jamiroquai nuts, hes even got one of them pangolin hats that light up and move.
When did Jay Kay start playing bass?!
You learn something new every day 😁😁🤣
@Diego Alonso Hi Diego. Sure, You can check the description of the video. I've added all that info there. Thanks for watching
always
@@Idogomusic damm funky love it. Love that phat sound. Bass play with too much treble nowadays. But you have turned up the bass
@@robertomusitano4238 It's all about that P-Bass 😉
Love the bass! The hat! And the playing!
Thanks!
That Too Young to Die bass line is too delicious.

Same here...
That's one of the reasons why Jamiroquai's music is so great...
I grew up with a bassist dad and a Jamiroquai lover mum. Now I know why i'm starting playing bass. Big thanks to them 💓

Right! No need to send it around for approval.
Not my favourite guitar but this guy makes it sound good.
The dude Stuart is one of my favourite bassists.
The funk lines he created on record are awesome.
Loved this....
Most underrated instrument but one of the most importants !
Nazim Lamine Hadj hammou Remove the bass from any song and see what you’re left with...
@@antiv I totally agree actually it's my favorite instrument ;)
If you're organizing them by importance you're already kinda doing it wrong.

I saw y'all live back in the day, when I was still living in Florida. It was at The Sunrise Theater in Fort Lauderdale.
Soooo good.

The Emergency on Planet Earth part allowed me to transcend to Heaven.
I like Jamiroquai, nice insanely funky bass player Stuart Zender.
James Jameson's funk bass lives on!
Paul Simmons melodic bass ! The man !

Dude! That was freaking awesome, love me some Jamiroquai! Outstanding Job! Do that stuff!
Thanks for watching! Keep it funky 🤘
I love Zender's bass lines.
And the Fender Pbass is so fitting with this style of music. Just sits so well.
Stuart Zender!!! Genius !
So beautiful and driving performance. Also I like your hat.
Jamirouqai is my absolut favorit ever since the first time i heard, much of the flair in his music comes from the funky bass. This was nice
Jamiroquai is a band. Jay Kay is the heart of the group
Super nice playing bro. Love this baselines, the whole Jamiroquai band is super tight, most notably the bass playing
🙏
Killer stuff man!
Thank you! Love your channel
@@Idogomusic Thanks!
That sounds great. When you highlight the bass, man that music grooves. Love Jamiroqui 💗, it's Jay's vocal and sweet sweet bass that makes it sublime...
Thanks 🙏
As for me I really love the bassline in "Manifest Destiny". Cool thing!
I love the bass in "Shes a fast Persuader "
Jamiroquai's bass lines are always fun to play!
Despite a few mistakes in mimicking Stuart Zender bass lines, your rendition of those Jamiroquai classics is great mate! Great tone and tightness! 😉
Such a great bass player Stuart Zender, Totally original.
That was awesome. Jamiroquai has great bass lines always fun to listen to and play as well
Cool, I’m getting Jamiroquai on my spotify after that, haven’t listened in ages. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thankfully they re-uploaded everything!
The band that got me started on bass, and is still driving me
Zender was the best in Jamiroquai! Awesome basslines!
He was great, but my personal favourite was Smith
Paul Turner had some pretty good ones also! :)
Jamiroquai is one of my favorite groups! 😊 I enjoyed the way you played the songs. 😁 Very cool! 😎👍🏽🎶

Just listened to it again, sooooooo good, Really actually great to see you back on the instrument
Very authentic. You even have the roadkill they wear for hats. lol

Without the singing it sounds like music that would be in Gran Turismo menus, I love it.
Azz!!!!bravissimo complimenti e un piacere ascoltare👏👌
Excellent! Only disappointed that you didn't do "Mr. Moon" and "Manifest Destiny."
The way you played Deeper Underground's bassline, WOW!!!
Zender was the beast..... maybe i am wrong, but after ‘98 Band became too fancy for my taste
Really great!!, i love Jamiroquai since their first album, love to hear this medley!!. Thanks a lot
This Space Cowboy is album version.
Stuart Zender didn't play it
He played only 'stoned again' version.
Stuart Zender has an amazing creativity, and you played him very well!
🙏
Bravo! Silky smooth! Any chance of a cover of "Cloud 9"?
Nice one man, great playing! so many great Zender basslines to choose from!
You look like a mixture between Jay Kay and Stuart Zender.
That's the best compliment I could ask for
Aaaahhhhh, was waiting for someone tomention Stu Zender in the comments. Nice.
As soon as Stu went out of Jamiroquai
You deserve every amazing comment on here, that was incredible, thank you for putting such a great flowing mixture of choons together.
Thank you, Jamie. I appreciate it 👍
I agree. That was so uplifting.
Very cool, thanks for that. I sold my bass for some stupid reason but you're making me want to get another one!
Go get it! Bass is life

Almost immediately after starting to listen to this, I got crazy feelings if deja vu. These songs remind me so much of the Persona (3+) OSTs. There has to be some connection.
Because most of Persona 3-4-5 OST and Jamiroquai are Acid Jazz music.
Lmfao that’s why I got so hooked on the persona series!
EXACTLY!! reminded me a lot of the persona 5 ost
The connection is the genre. From what I've seen, acid jazz seems to have peaked in popularity around the late 90s but never really solidified itself as an enduring part of mainstream culture.
Now, I'm gonna put on my tin foil hat for a second. Another genre that peaked in the late 90s is city pop, which could be described as Japan's response to American 80s pop. It's almost like it took a decade for that musical style to move from America to Japan.
Now we have another example of that happening; acid jazz peaking in America in the 90s, then the Persona soundtrack (as well as the original Gran Turismo music that other comments have likened this to) being written in the 00s.
So, maybe Japanese musicians just really like America's decade-old music for some reason? That's the best answer I've got.
Japan loves a lot of 70s-90s genres, jazz and Brazilian music. You even hear influences in some modern J-Pop songs. They also love EDM and classical music.
Just came to check you included Space Cowboy. Good man 🔥
