Bootsy Collins is the legendary bass player who played with James Brown, and then Parliament-Funkadelic and Bootsy’s Rubber Band. His “funk formula” came from his experience working with James Brown and learning about “the one”, which he developed further with his later project. 

In this video I’ve broken down the formula to work even for beginner funk bass, so that you don’t have to guess if you’re doing it right or not. I’ll talk about what “on the one” actually means, how Bootsy defines it and how we can use it to sound funkier. 

I’ll also show you a cool fretboard shape called the Funk Box, which will give you quick access to some notes that will sound funky on almost anything.

5 Easy “Shapes” for Kickass Bass Lines (Bassist Shortcuts)

Struggling to create bass lines without overwhelm? Stop panicking and get yourself some bass shapes. 

0:00 - Shapes Give You a Beautiful Mind  0:47 - How Bass Shapes Use “Chunking”  2:38 - #1: Root Fifth Shape (with Steely Dan)  5:34 - #2: The Octave Shape (with James Brown)  7:46 - #3: Major Triad Shape (with Bob Marley)  9:38 - #4: Minor Triad Shape (with Stevie Ray Vaughan)  11:23 - #5: Supershapes (with The Specials)  13:00 - How to Learn Shapes 

A shape is just a visual pattern of notes on the neck. There are all kinds of shapes - for bass lines, intervals, scales, arpeggios, chords - but what they all have in common is they allow you to visually find your way around the neck so you’re not frantically thinking about note names and theory when you’re trying to just play.
