Love dude … he’s humble … great at holding groove … he keeps it simple . He NEVER makes the video about himself and he tries to help other musicians get better !! God bless this young man !

Bootsys Basic Funk Formula led me here a few months ago. Billy is giving us some true 1970's style bassline funk. The bass 🎸 is the back bone and spine of the funk. Everything else rides off of that. Keep funkin on Billy. Houston... We no longer have a problem. We have a legend!!!

As an old school metal head, this was very impressive to hear and see.

[SeniorBrochacho]

That Ibanez looks so clean! The grooves and sounds were dope, too.

[andrewhinds]

OOOH yeah!! That was another fantastic lesson! It's amazing how many teachers don't actually teach you this kind of simplicity to get you started.

[ricardojmestre]

Allen, as a fellow engineer and bass player you are a major inspiration. Thank you, very grateful for your lessons 🙏

[yanpisar]

never heard someone play bass as smooth as this. I'm flabbergasted

[randycantu]

I'm a 47 year guy that just got funked up.

Love it!

Hey Allen, try putting that quarter note rest right before the ONE. Especially hard when the drummer does it also. But the small bit of silence before the one can make a tremendous difference. If the drummer makes a fill in that measure before the one, he should sometimes end his fill on that quarter note rest before coming down on the one. P-Funk was famous for this.

In order to feel the funk, one must embrace it. Thank you for the lesson Bully.

[funkrocker]

Hell Yeah! About time a brother step up and do a tutorial video on funk. Thanks bro, really appreciate it man and you're funky as hell.

[ghosthero]

you've absolutely sold me on that bass, you should be getting sponsored for how many guitars you've indirectly sold. i hope it continues to treat you well!

[charbaker]

My life is now moving in a new direction.

[uhhmike_d]

like bootsy said, it’s all about the 1

[pixelninja]

thats brilliant mate. Im just getting into bass after years of guitar playing. Guys like you playing this stuff are so inspirational.

[hungariantutor]

I've been playing guitar, mainly rock for 25 years and just bought a bass. Now I'm learning funk bass lines and enjoying it like I never thought I would. I've converted to a new religion.

[bobbyfields]

Great job! So simple! As with any true Master, you break it down and you don’t waste words!

[fromordonlikebrennan]

Not me thinking I was clicking this video for a simple funk lesson and finding out dude is fucking crazy on the bass

[zacharyjohnson]

So now that I’m in like “Bass mode” I recently listened to James Brown “Papas gotta brand new bag” and man the bass in that song just flows and is just awesome, which doesn’t even really accurately describe it.

[michaelanthony]

Omg, this is the best thing to help me funk I’ve seen, I’ve been learning techniques for months, but how to apply them to a beat ? I feel like you are making more sense for me than ANYTHING IVE HEARD ! God bless you, bass brother. You touch my heart.
