It's a line you'll only ever get the "idea" of and not ever really play note for note. I mean, I'm sure there are transcriptions out there, so you surely COULD play it note for note, but I'd rather figure out HOW he's doing that than just recreate it. Hard to believe it's played by a 19 year old kid from Cincinnati. A characteristic of Bootsy's playing is staying funky while having a stream of consciousness quality where he doesn't really repeat the exact same thing the exact same way-- revolutionary in the context where James Brown was coming from prior to the JB's where the grooves were so tightly constructed.

Only way to get the "feel" of that bas line. While driving around today I’m gonna listen to “Soul Power” a bunch of times. Only way to get the “feel” of that bas line.

I find the same things with my freshmen writers--they so desperately want me to just give them rules and tell them what to say, and are extremely frustrated when I encourage them to improvise around the very basic rules I lay out for them.
