The Crusaders – Hot’s It [full version on YouTube]

Bass part originally played by Wilton Felder. The 16th notes have a somewhat swing feel to it, especially in the drums, but are overall more straight than not. Find the complete song on YouTube. The sheet music is available through my website.

Bass part originally played by Wilton Felder. There is no video footage of him playing this song (or in fact, almost none at all of him playing bass, as he was more prominently known as a sax player), so I tried my best to analyse the original audio and recreate how I think he would have played it with regards to fret positions. Find the complete song on YouTube. The sheet music is available through my website.

Bass part originally played by Verdine White. Some of the instruments (especially the synth and to a lesser extent the piano) and vocals (especially the backing vocals during the bridge) are very flat compared to the rest. It seems to be intentional as they were able to recreate it live. Somehow it works. Find the complete song on YouTube. The sheet music is available through my website.
