So today we're going to be playing Banga Gong by Power Station.
This song is probably played by Bernard Edwards the whole way through.
[G#]
The solo definitely was played by Bernard, but
Except for this here, and now we're playing [F] by Bernard.
So, in an effort to try to mimic the sound,
[N] I'm going to be playing sort of like this,
sort of like mimicking
[G#] Bernard very poorly.
And he was, in a sense, mimicking using a pick
by just using his thumb and his [Gm] forefinger like that.
I'll be playing [F] this [N] OLP 5-string Stingray copy.
And it's a pretty great bass for under $150.
[Fm] I really can't hear what's going [E] on in the [D#] chorus,
so some of the [A#] fun is just [N] ad lib.
I decided to move it up a little bit more.
Just kind of let it go and see what happens.
