Learn The Bass Line to “Pusherman” by Curtis Mayfield
Today we’ll dig into the bass line to “Pusherman” by Curtis Mayfield. From the supremely funky Superfly record, this groove is absolute perfection. Featuring bassist Joseph “Lucky” Scott, it follows a simple box pattern that plays with space and syncopation in a way that continues to stay fresh throughout the song.
Enjoy, and keep it groovy!
