Funk Bass Disco Octaves!

I recorded this video shortly after my lesson on the slap bass break in Car Wash. Even though octaves were used on basslines a lot in the 70s, you still hear them in modern bass playing too. Playing these notes tightly and right in the pocket is a challenge so check out the video and get your groove on!
