If you play slap bass, you have Larry Graham to thank.
Before Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten or Flea, Larry was thumping, plucking and pushing the bass into completely new territory. In this lesson, Ian and Sharon break down some of his greatest bass lines, from the deceptively simple grooves of Sly and the Family Stone to the fuzzed-out madness of Graham Central Station.
Get ready for some serious funk.
