Good Times (Chic)…but slapped! [Bass Guitar Tutorial]

This lesson is just a bit of fun and not intended to replace Bernard Edwards' original Good Times bass line.

This lesson is based on a YouTube Short where I explored the idea of slapping the line and adding in some fills. Here it is.

Scroll down for the PDF with the TAB for the slapped version of Good Times plus the E Dorian and E Minor Pentatonic shapes you can use to create your own bass fills.
