MUSIC HISTORY - LARRY GRAHAM - How To Play Modern FUNK Bass!
Larry Graham INVENTED modern bass playing in many ways.
One of Prince's greatest mentors, Prince listened to Larry when almost nobody else could get through to him...
While there are greater bassists, there are no greater Funk players that influenced all who came after.
Talk to Marcus Miller, Jim Simmons, lot's of great players, they will tell you the same.
Here is a 6 minute Bass Lesson taught by Larry himself, where he goes over all the roles he was trying to cover, and how he went about covering when the drummer was absent, etc.
Right hand technique and working with the Back Beat, it's all here.
Larry Graham, the great spiritual mentor, bass player, band leader, and positive guy all around.
He is impressive!! Are you a bassist as well?
YES I AM!
I live for a great groove and some TIGHT funk bass playing.
Awesome!!! I used to play guitars at a time!! Not bass though. Reminded me of my music days !!
