How To Play Thinking Of You by Sister Sledge on Bass Guitar

Learn how to play Bernard Edward's classic bassline from the Sister Sledge album We Are Family. Thinking of you is a great example of a riff based line full of hooks for the listener to latch on to. Bass playing at it's finest!

I break down some theory, technique, and tips to memorise the song. You can use these ideas in other songs too so make sure you watch the whole video.
