Master Blaster (Jammin’) – A Stevie Wonder Bass Workout (Bass Tabs and Tutorial)
This week we’re looking at Master Blaster (Jammin’) by Stevie Wonder and the tricky instrumental break in which Nate Watts joins the band in doubling that cool Pentatonic line.
I’m going to break down the line and give you some tips on how to best play the notes cleanly and with as few position shifts as possible!

Thank you sir
this is the perfect bass line to learn. Different ways to play it, learning to minimize position shifting, scales and the relation between the major and minor pentatonic, easy to scale the speed, full of patterns, super rewarding and matchingly fun to play
very, very well explained…
and really my role model as cool as you play.
I would book lessons with you immediately. but unfortunately you're only a few km away from me…????????????
nice greetings from Hamburg. ❤❤
and thank you very much for the awesome explanation.
Thanks
Best men
Where were you last week when that run was kicking my ass?
Thank You Mate
Great lesson, it would be nice if you use the number system
At last – I've been sweating over this for the band – and now – I can nearly do it thanks to this – best tut for this tricky song. Thanks so much.
Thanks Mark! Do I do!
part time lover
Excelent teacher!
Is the tan to get more groove ?
Many thanks Mark, your explanations are great. Helped me a lot!
mil gracias maestro eres muy bueno ????????????
Hey fellow bass busters; If, like me, you struggle with the muscle memory for licks like this try playing the whole riff (once you've figured the fingering) at half time but STACCATO. I don't know why but the staccato really helped me remember the riff properly so it was imbedded in my muscle memory.
This is awesome, can you do Rocket Love
I see that you want to give a name to the sound, like me. You use a lot of energy…if you say "C on the 3 Fret, on A string" with the tablanote = C3 or C8 and it's done for high C , C5 and C10. C15 …… we don' t have " that " many notes finally Thank you for your work EmaB from Paris
Hello thank you for your good lesson. If you got time …discover my tablanote=name of the sound in front of fret number. Ex for the scale you can say C3 D (D5) E2 F3 G (G5) A2 B4 and C5. If you are a teacher, it will change your life to communicate with "Tablanote option" a Real NEW GUITAR VISION, or bass. Soft TablEdit and Teufview for this option. In G scale , you got F#2 'sensible note) that goes to G3 etc In a few weeks, all your students know the NECK !! let s play music now ! Friendly from Paris
can you cover do i do
That again was so well done. Thank You Very Much!
As for a new one…
how about a hidden gem of STEVIE WONDER.
"I WAS MADE TO LOVE HER."
This one is a special one because it also has the G.O.A.T. playing bass on it!!!!!
(Yes…James Jamerson…LOL!!!)
This teacher always explain so it's easy to understand
This was really helpful. If you haven't already done a video for SW's "As," I would really like to learn that one.
Hey Marc , I saw a slap pop version from happy birthday , also Steve wonder , can you maybe sort out that one , was so cool
Always, always a plesure 2 come back to ya —
Do I do! Loads of lovely runs and fills. well worth a session
what is the model of your bass in this video?
always loved ur videos
I like the way Mark includes the theory, explains the positions, shows the score. A proper education rather than some “teachers’ who simply think that showing you notes is adequate. With scales, positions, rhythms learnt I can use this in so many other ways. Great lesson.
Translate indonesia please
sorry, i 'm a beginner bassist and i can't seem to figure out from which string/ fret till which other fret goes the slide in the third line of this video..
Thank you sir
Master Basster
Nate Watts tunes down a semitone (Eflat, Aflat, etc) so to him this would be like playing in C#. So while everyone else is playing the intro to I Wish around Aflat and Eflat he's quite happily doing it with A and E. I'm sure he'd be equally happy if he wasn't tuned down, but I need all the help I can get.
Well this should keep me busy for a few days, thanks for the complete song Mark!. Riffs are really cool to show us what is out these and motivate the practice, but songs help on the stamina. My hand hurts from those big frets on my Precision (is it just me? I love my precision but damn I find it hard towards the neck).
Cool
American Life by Primus maybe? I’m having trouble with it and your one of the best teachers on YouTube so I know you could be super helpful
Hey mark, one thing i’ve been having some trouble with is fluently moving my thumb on the picking hand between anchoring positions(pickup, d sting, a string etc). A lesson focusing on that would be greatly appreciated.
So crazy. I have been learning this on my own. Wtf?
Sir Duke?! And can you/someone explain the difference between the Cm and Eb maj pentatonics? To me they seem like the same thing just starting on different notes… Thanks!
One of those rare grooves that sounds good without overdoing it
Excellent Mark, thanks for your videos and tabs, they are really helpfull:-)
Stevie Wonders Hirer Ground Please ????????????????????????
"I Was Made to Love Her" from "Live at The Talk of The Town" 1970 – Michael Henderson on bass is killing on that album. No wonder Miles Davis nicked him off Stevie…
Please do a lesson on Isn't she lovely????
