Bassline notes SAME AS PLAYED on the original recording on 'Closer to Home' LP, released in 1970.
A Bass Player you should know: Mel Schacher. As a teen, I got really into Mel's awesome basslines that filled the total sound of the 3-piece rock band, Grand Funk, based in Flint, Michigan, U.S.A.
*Note: This video is my little show of gratitude to the great guys in this band--you might be surprised to learn that in 1971, while I was hitchhiking direction south on Woodward Avenue in Birmingham, Michigan, an old model Cadillac approached and slowed and offered me a ride. I hopped in and sat in the back seat. Can you guess who was driving this Cadillac? Actually, Grand Funk's guitarist, Mark Farner was driving while Don Brewer, Grand Funk's drummer, (sporting a big 'Afro' hair style) was seated in the front passenger seat. It's a true story!

*****The tone of my bass: My Expert Guitar Luthier attached a used, genuine vintage 1960 Sprague tone capacitor (value = 0,1mdf) to the electronics (and replaced the standard factory-issued capacitor) in this Fender Roadworn Jazz Bass so as to create a 60's tone, while I have worked with the knobs on my bass and amp to attain a flat, yet punchy tone. The bass in this video is a Fender Jazz Bass Roadworn (purchased at Sam Ash, Phoenix, Arizona) with three year old Ernie Ball slinky flatwound strings and playing through a Marshall amplifier with the tone settings straight up, or 'flat'.

* I own no part of this music. This is an educational / instructional video where my bass is mixed a little louder than the band so it may be easily heard. Aspiring bass players may see where to place there fingers on the fretboard and where to find the notes as played on the original recording.
