One of the best tutorials I have seen. Excellent! Thanks!!!!!!
The syncopation of the groove is what makes the bass stand out. Rio's bass line was pretty funky and between the horns it truly drives the song. My 80's guilt pleasure still is Duran Duran music. lol
This song is very tricky but it's a great song to really practice your ghost notes.
Great video. I’m sure others have mentioned, but in case, for the chorus when it goes in to major, your notation doesn’t indicate the new key signature (and there are no note accidentals either).
You're amazing Dan! Been following u, 4 quite some tyme and I've always been struck how u break things down!
Awesome Vlog!! Keep 'em coming. ????????
I am a fan!
Absolutely the BEST lesson for this song or any song! I used to play this as a teen, now re-learning it – this video was impressive. I REALLY wish these videos would also give you pointers on what effect and at what settings you would use for the song. I can play but just never really dealt with effects.
Great tutorial, I have experimented with a lot of settings but still can't quite get it as dead sounding as you.
It would have helped a lot if you played the slowed down parts with a metronome. Great explanation nonetheless.
Your a really good teacher as you do a great job explaining things. But is there any way you can put shot of the fingers on top to see just where your fingers are better. Or anyway to see them better? Thank you for the video tho its awesome
@onlinebasscourses do you have a noise gate in your set up to keep out sounds under a certain decibel level to help make it so clean?
Excellent teaching, thanks.
all his basslines on 7 and the ragged tiger are fantastic. the middle 8 in shadows on your side, the choruses on of crime and passion….syncopation and ghost note heaven
One of my favorite bass lines of all time. Thank you for sharing. ????
If chorus is major, shouldn't the G be a G# in the E chord?
It only shows 1 ghost note before the G,G#,A but you're playing 2. I'ma play 1.
Love your relaxed style – John Taylor is fab – try girls on film night version too thats superb – of course you cant go 80s without mentioning Mark King and Pino and even Mick Karn from Japan
Amazing! Very detailed
ya gotta do Girl Panic! one of my favorite 21st century JT basslines
It’s all Greek to me. I guess I’m not musically inclined????. I love the bass though.
Excellent video! Patient and educational. I still play this. ????
John Taylor is a real underrated bass guitarist. Thx for posting, love the explanations.
Well Dan. I couldn’t hear the difference between John and you. I have seen that tutorial from John. It’s a really good tutorial. Just as your video. Thank you for sharing. Greetings
I didn't really understand ghost notes or how to play them until this lesson, thank you!!
This was the first bassline I ever learned (and quite possibly the last – I'm a guitarist! ????) when it first came out. I realise now that there are a couple of bits I didn't quite get right, so thanks for the lesson!
Now, to undo 40 years of playing it wrongly….????
What model bass are you playing?
What bass is this? wow!
Tremendous! A big thank you????
One of my favorite bass lines! And my favorite band! Just found your channel looking for a tutorial on Bernard Edward's "Chucking" technique.
merry xmas dan to you nall your gang????
Excellent as always! I liked the way John Taylor described it as "a young man's bass line"!
The truth is that is Bernard Edwards playing that baseline. The members of Chic (Tony Thompson, Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards) were ghost playing many of the hits of Duran Duran. This is why there is a huge difference in feel between the live album and the studio album. At his death Bernard Edwards's bass was given to John Taylor and after Tony Thompson died there was a dramatic difference in the sound of Duran Duran. Here are John Taylor and Bernard Edwards together in the studio; notice the dramatic difference in technique

Great bass line to improve your ghost notes, raking, syncopation and two finger plucking speed. A challenge to get it up to speed. Start slowly!
