I've listened to this brilliant lesson was making breakfast so I need to go back to it and I don't think I've missed the answer to this point of my pondering….
I've never played any reggae but I had it in my mind that I would struggle because the base is played generally on the offbeat.
is this complete? gobbledygook and the bass is not always on the upbeat. maybe that's the kick drum?
My trouble with this. if it is true that I should try to aim for the offbeat is it? I would spend more time thinking about beats and offbeats than what I needed to play.

brilliant You deserve to get accolades and you don't need steroid cream for those ????????????

Fantastic lesson
…such a great teacher
Nicely done. I like that you show the scale and give some improv tips.
Сказочный дол…ёб. Как я люблю англосаксов…
Great lesson, presentation, great! The great Carl Radle (R.I.P.) played on Clapton's version.
Such great lessons. I love that you add the theory, the style of the song, and techniques.
Thanks James for being such a great teacher another great lesson
Phew, your ease of playing this iconic song by the great EC, was made to look easing by your approach. You broke this down into bite sized chucks.
I tried it, followed your approach, played each section over and over until I was happy, joined the sections up, put on the track, and, thanks to your teaching, nailed it second time round. Thank you James, my playing and knowledge has chalked up another notch. ????

Grande!!!!
thanks for the Bass lesson its cool!! bro
Very cool tutorial James, thanks for simplifying what is actually a very smoking hot and difficult to get it right bass line for the Eric Clapton version. This looks deceptively easy, but the original was played by Carl Radle at Criteria Studios in Miami, my home base way back in 1974 when I was just learning how to play….and if you know anything about Carl, he was a master bassist who put a fantastic funk groove on this very simple tune…While it is true that Bob Marley wrote and recorded the hit original song, Eric Clapton ran with it and made it his own. Both of these versions have survived decades of listening and analysis and are just as fresh now as the day they were recorded. And Clapton was coming off a heroin addiction, go figure… I found it very refreshing that you play the same gear I do: Sire p7 4-string bass, Mesa Boogie amps, Mark Bass speakers, Aquilar amps….you obviously know your tone! So cheers to you from sunny South Florida!! Ziggy
Thanks so much. This was the next song I had to perform live in my course.
Really helped
Hi sir, I'm a bass player but I can only play single note.
Can you please tell me what lessons I need to learn first to play like an intermediate bass player.
I want to know how to play scales finger styles something like that. Thank you for your time.
Always fun to learn something new… great lesson, as always.
Sorry the original Bob Marley version baseline is much better
