Chords for Easy Bass Lesson | Word Up - Cameo

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ What's up y'all DeLuca here we're gonna do cameo word up three chords all it is is f sharp e
_ _ [E] _ _ [A#] _
[D] D
_ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Okay _ _
_ That's it pretty much the whole song and so the version I'm doing is the cameo version which is the original version
But there's a metal group called corn that does a version of it and they do it in the same key
It's pretty much the same
they don't do a couple of parts of the song, but
The keys the same and the progression and still the same so for all the young folks out there
That like corn the group corn.
It's the same damn thing so
But cameos version is funky.
_ So if you want to be a great bass player, you should learn that version
_ So the way I usually play it
Like I said, it's f sharp E and D.
It's a chords.
So I usually
Play it with an octave just to give it a fuller sound
_ so
With the f-sharp I'll go
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
_ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
Okay, you play it whatever you want to play it.
You just hit it one note
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ Whatever works for you
_ _ Also to
I'm gonna play it with the drum machine here.
It's at 117 just to give you the feel of
_ What it should sound like? _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You
Okay, so that's it for the regular groove and then that little breakdown that idea right there right at the end
It's on the same
_ _ F sharp chord and so what you do is
_ _ You just go _
[Bm] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
Okay, so all that is like it says the f-sharp and _ _ [B] then it's a B a and then an F sharp
So it's a and it's a pull-off
[F#] _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [A] _ [F#] _ _ Okay, you do it down here on the lower
Part of the neck I can do it here _ different sound but same notes _
_ [B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ Okay.
So one last thing too is every time I listen to this song the original it sounds like
Bass players playing it higher up the neck
_ Not low like I was just doing so like I said, you definitely play it low down here
And you'll definitely play the song and nobody's gonna really trip
But whenever I hear it _ _ it always sounds to me like this
[C#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ [B] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _
[B] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ So, I don't know it's open to interpretation right there it always sounds to me like he's playing it there
maybe it's just a guitar player who's playing those licks and _
They're playing together.
So maybe he's the one doing that but
_ Go ahead and have fun with it.
It's a good song to
Get on your belt, especially you aspiring funk players.
So
I'll catch up with you
