Written by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, CHIC’s Good Times remains one of the most-loved disco bass lines EVER! Relentlessly sampled to the point that it’s woven into every bass player’s DNA, its tempo and groove is a case study in how to make people dance.

In today’s new video, Ian Allison breaks down the Bernard Edwards bass-driven classic. We’re going to teach you the bass line (which the Sugar Hill Gang famously sampled in their breakthrough hit, Rapper’s Delight) and also give you a FREE DOWNLOAD with all of the tab and notation.

As always, see you in the shed…

Scott :)
