I started playing bass at 52 (though I'd been a drummer all my life until then) I love the old stuff, they could really play, Bernard was awesome! I am so jealous of your playing! :) Good job

I just started playing bass at 69 - no previous experience apart from a severe love of music. I don't think I'll make it onto any stages but it's great fun going to lessons and practising to record tracks.. .

U know you own the space when you dare filling up a Bernard Edwards song with other fills and licks. Pure awesomeness!!!

[CBRansom]

As a drummer...WOW!!! You're who every drummer wants to play with. Thanks for posting!

[Clameni]

Great bass playing on this classic Chic song. Way to go! I couldn`t get enough of this song back in the day, and it still sounds amazing today. Your bass playing fits right in with the groove. Keep it up!

This is so awesome! You nailed every nuance, Bernard would be proud.

[eldied]

Awesome job dude!!!

[Oelmen]

I love it how your mind and hands are like bursting of great bass chops! Well done!

I love the sound of that Musicman! So loud and clear.

I've just started playing bass after years on a Strat. Still don't even like using my fingers. Bernard Edwards was always my favourite bass player and this made me want to give up. I've been faking it, but you are the real deal.

[WhoWeAre]

Absolutely incredible! No words my friend. I loved the little bits you threw in. It actually matched the song and wasn’t over the top like I see so much in other cover videos. Your style reminds me a lot of Paul Turner. He’s the bassist for the English Disco-Funk band, Jamiroquai. Check out the song, “Summer Girl” off of their latest album. I would love to see a cover!

[SwainBjornstrandt]

by far the best cover i've encountered in youtube. i love your fillers in the track!

[dougpeters]

Holy moly your feel and chops are amazing.

[nabsdmusik]

awesome bass cover, I love those funky fills making it your own style.
