Artist - Charles Wright And The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band
Electric Bass - Melvin Dunlap
Difficulty - Intermediate
Hey all,
Hope this finds you all well! This weeks transcription is a tune I hadn’t heard in a VERY long time until a bass playing friend of mine sent me a playlist he’d put together, and listening to it reminded me just how much I like this particular line!
Express yourself was the signature song for Charles Wright and The Watts, and Melvin Dunlap delivers an absolute masterclass in varying the connective ideas while maintaining the integrity of the overall groove! Keep an eye out for where he startts dropping the first 16th of the bar, and work to nail down the various different connective fills/ideas!
My Yamaha with flatwounds was once again the bass of choice here, with my MXR M80 and a little compression added.
Have fun with this!
