One the funkiest songs of the 80's was Fake by Alexander O'Neal. This song came out in 1987 and I loved it right off the bat. It's got that Minneapolis sound and his music was produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Check out his wiki page for more info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_O%27Neal

This is a beginner/intermediate ear training lesson so there are no breakdowns of parts from me , showing where the notes are on the neck, etc.

No tabs, no sheet music so you need to use your ears!

Learning Hints* -
1. The song is in the key of E flat minor(Ebm). So in this case your first note on the bass is Eb.
2. Listen to the song and take notes of where the different sections(verse, chorus etc) are and then learn each section separately and then put it all together.
2. Look at my left hand and where I'm playing the song on the bass neck. I don't move my hands much because the bassline is the same all the way through except for a slight change right before the choruses.
3. Develop a system that works for you that will help you learn songs quickly and accurately.
4. If you use tabs only use them to verify what you've already learned by ear or to help you with a note(s) that are hard to hear on the recording and giving you trouble.

It may take the beginners a while but it's very doable. It does get easier the more you do it so get to work! :-)
