You guys kept asking me about Afrobeat.......so here it is finally.

Hey Edd. Thanks so much for this lesson, I'm in an Afrobeat band and there is next to nothing i can find out there that actually explains the nature and structure of bass lines in this style of music... until now. Thanks again for everything you are doing for the culture. Stay blessed. B

Yep... Afrobeat is why I'm here.
Cool approach and explanations (for a guitar player LOL).
Subscribed ... waiting for more Kuti and Allen
Great job. Thank you!

once you go down that repetitive loyal to the groove rabbit hole, any kind of soloing or breaking will feel like sacrilege when you practice long enough - and then you are on the right path to learning what bass is all about

OMG the desire to unleash a fast break would be insane.😂 I get the point, though.

The hardest lesson to learn is eventually the simplest to understand. That sounds like it could be a quote from an Afrobeat Samurai bassist
