One other Stevie track that has a rockin bass line is “Master Blaster”. That thing grooves!!

Stevie Wonder is, among many other things, a great bassist who just happens to play keyboard.

11:30 a bassist mimicking a bass line from a keyboardist, what a great tribute!

What about "Higher Ground"? It's got the funkiest bassline!

This was really great, but it's criminal to not have included For Once In My Life. Not only is it a great bass line, but for me personally, is one of the most difficult to mimic. So good.

MY FAVORITE TEACHER combined with my favorite ARTIST????..wow what a present!!!

Forget Bruno Fernandes, or Edouard Mendy, Ian Allison is surely the best signing of 2020. Absolutely love everything he's done for this channel. Big thanks to Ian and Scott.

Those ghost notes on So What the Fuss were an absolute treat

Songs in the key of Life is one of the best albums of all time. 'As' is an amazing song.

Stevie Wonder has some of the best bass lines. "Jamming", "Sir Duke"

When I saw the title, I was thinking “looking forward to hearing ‘I Was Made To Love Her’”, but a little shocked that my favourite Stevie Wonder bass performance not even there. Wow.

I mean, who doesn’t love Stevie Wonder?? I love the bass lines in his songs just as much, but he’s a genius. ✌️😌

"I Was Made to Love Her" isn't even mentioned?? Criminal!

Mesmerizing bass lines. It is tough to put 10 bass lines of Stevie's classics together. There some other gems like "All I do", "Master Blaster," " Higher ground," " living for the city," "Part-time lover," " I was made to lover" and "In your corner."

Good list, but it misses "I Was Made to Love Her" and "For Once in My Life".

Lost guitarist here, quality video and a great breakdown. Your ear for tone recreation is second to none mate.

Wicked bass lines and playing - Stevie Wonder is superb

What about “All I Do”? One of the greatest synth bass lines ever.

I don't even play the bass (I am a drummer) but I love the bass. Having Stevie's songs highlighted...such a great video!!

WOW, Heart felt thanks from 56 years on the Bass, at 68 you have provided my first 2 lessons and hope. On the way has always been enough, maybe there is a place in space. Sincerely Woody Woodard

Yet another great video, Ian. And this one goes straight to the top of my list of favorite SBL videos, for the great choice of content and the way it is presented. Thank you!

Great breakdown of some beautiful basslines and the effects that help achieve the tones! I will be going over this probably 100 more times to snag this stuff!

What a fantastic video. Well done SBL serving up a platter of Ian Martin Allison's infectious joy! Love love LOVE this video. I got work to do . . .

The fact that "All Day Sucker" is on this list makes it a good list! Thanks again Ian! You Rule!

Love it Ian! I had such fun! Thank you for doing such an excellent job.

Love this, it's a great way to expand a bassplayer's arsenal of creative options and not just for instrumentalists but songwriters too.

Ian!!!!!!! You are such a great addition to Scott's Bass Lessons! Love your style of playing! Love your teaching style! Love your positivity! Love learning how to make cool sounds on the bass! Keep it up broheim bass-man!

Thanks Ian! Mind blown. I'm really enjoying hearing new bass artists outside of my bubble.

Awesome playing and sounds, thank you Ian!

So cool! I've always loved the funk that Stevie puts out. Thank you for playing and breaking down the Bass lines!

I love Ian's videos so much because of all these cool information he provides

So many amazing lines and such great tone and playing

Thank you!!! amazing video! I really enjoy these series from Ian! Cheers!

Love your stuff!!! So glad you're with SBL!!

Great vid! Ian you are amazing. Thanks, 4 makin this series.

Love the format on how you show and partly instruct on your favorite songs.

A great selection there. Stevie has so many wonderful bass lines. One of my favourites you didn’t mention is a track called ‘Black Man’ from songs in the key of life. Cheers

Awesome Stevie stuff Ian! You can never teach to much Jamerson, Babbit and Watts...please continue!...Masterblaster +1

Awesome!!! Loved every second. I love Jamerson, so the more the merrier.

Yesss. This is amazing. It's awesome to see how you approach these lines, Ian. I've been working on learning Sir Duke by ear for about a week and I was trying to decide where to put the left-hand shifts and this is really helpful! All 10 of these are incredible lines that I want to learn :)

That was TOTALLY awesome. Ian your bass playing is amazing!!! You breaking down the already killer bass lines makes it that much more fascinating . You’re a fantastic teacher!!! I love watching your videos!

You did a truly awesome job. And you are a fantastic bass player and superb teacher. Also, your positive energy makes your lessons so much fun to watch and learn from. Thank you so much.

Ian this is super stuff from a big Stevie fan 👍, great playing and info on the effects to get those classic sounds ! it would be great to see a more in depth mini course in SBL on the bass lines of Stevie Wonder , ! here's hoping 😃

Thank you for posting this important work of Stevie W. Excellent lesson on the bass.

I love this series of videos from Ian. I'd love to hear you do a breakdown of Pearl Jam and STP basslines. Thanks for doing these!

That's just great! I know and loved half of those songs. I'll get more familiar with the others. Your playing sounds amazing! Very inspiring ;-) Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

"I Was Made to Love Her" "For Once In My Life" "Golden Lady" all songs that would've nicely fit in with this list, but I'm happy to have been exposed to some new Stevie Wonder lines that I hadn't heard before!

That was awesome. I've never seen someone look so happy to play!

I think your use of pedals is incredible. You have such a great sound and your timing is so tight and funky. You really know this stuff. Thanks for doing this.

Always love your videos, Ian!

For years, I've been wanting to play those exact baselines. SBL has made it not only effortless on their part, but has shown me how to do it just as effortlessly.

Awesome video, my favourite one yet, love me some Stevie all day

Hey Ian. Thanks for bringing the funk. It really made my Wednesday morning with coffee.

“…sling shot effect…” Man, Ian, that is SO WELL expressed. I will absolutely be stealing that. :)

Ian, your videos are simply fantastic.

Thank you Ian that was awesome! Sooo well played and your enthusiasm is contagious... How about a lesson on Paul Mc Cartney bass lines? Thank you again mate and please keep on like that

I always have so much fun watching you share your tips! Great passionate mutual fun. Keeps me running back to my shed.

Scott I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you for this wonderful and most excellent tutorial on some of the most difficult songs ever created for the pop culture. You have so much soul and BackBeat groove. It's refreshing watching you illustrate how the songs are really supposed to be played. I do the best I can by ear. I generally don't refer to tablature. But there are some tricky things about Stevie wonder's songs. My mission is that I have to learn how to sing and play on the base at the same time lead vocals to Sir Duke, and I wish. These are my homework assignments.

Nice work Ian! So many epic bass lines to choose from! One of my favorite synth lines from Stevie is "GO HOME" off of Square Circles 1985. Be nice to have Your take & break down. Thanks for sharing the inspiration & Good vibrations One & All :)!

I've been a SBL member off and on for years, and I recently started taking lessons in person to take me to the next level and provide a different perspective. The best of both worlds! Awesome! Liked and subscribed!

Top stuff Ian! You really lifted those bass parts out and brought them to life. It can be so hard analysing synth bass parts not to mention reproducing the sounds. 11 out of 10 go to the top of the class!

Superb, it show's, you having fun. I loved the lines, and I loved the sonics

One of your BEST videos! Thx for this

Amazing Man, please more of this!!!

Probably the best bass video ever loved it. And Stevie.

Scott has helped me a ton ever since the Technique Challenge. Recently, your videos struck me with your remarkable execution of funky time feel (swung 16th note syncopations) and glorious legato. I can picture you on the bandstand. You really are fabulous. Thank you for your wisdom.

I really enjoy your segments Ian. Please do more.

Man! That was a lot to take on, I'm sure many comments on all Stevie's other bass lines. But just wanted to say GREAT JOB!!!

It’s an aesthetic pleasure to watch this for the Stevie Wonder’s fan from Russia. I love this channel, love what you guys are doing. It’s not about scores or tablatures that are available everywhere, This lesson truly inspires!!! 🔥 Sending you my good vibrations!

Nice one. I've been playing many of the same Stevie bass lines, and others, for years. 'Boogie On Reggae Woman' being one of my all time favorites. There's also some interesting stuff on 'Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants' - esp for bass and keyboard. Lastly, Nathan Watts is a legend in his own right. Thanks for posting

I have most of Master Blaster, and all of the Sir Duke unison down, but I'm in the middle of The Fretboard Accelerator, (and now The Fretboard Challenge); so I'm going to have to put this one "on the back burner" -- and come back to it when I have more time... Learning all 10 of these basslines would be like taking a master class in Funk!

Your 'Boogie On' tone is absolutely brilliant !!!

Great choices and love the joy you get from playin-learning how you created the sounds as well

You guys keep me learning. Weather I intend to, or not. It's always badass at SBL

Hey I grew up w/ wonder. From my father. You took it .,and made some of the concoctions easier to understand man. So much for back scratching all my dads 45's just to learn. Thank you.🙋🙌😘

you guys make me motivated every day, even I am surely too old ...thanks a lot. And Ian, you are an awesome teacher

You guys are great! Interesting to see how it "seems" to be easy and effortless. I will get there! Cheers and thank you for this amazing content.

You guys are so amazing, and that bass is so cool.

Ian does it again! Keep em comin!

Loooooved this Ian! Two that I’m surprised that didn’t make were hotter than July’s Master Blaster and the chorus/solo sections of I ain’t gonna stand for it.

ok sir, this video makes me grab my dusty bass right this second! 🔥🔥🔥 awesome sound!!!! big hug from Buenos Aires, Argentina bass fam!

Ian is such an awesome player. So versatile and in the groove of each song

I could watch sbl and Stevie videos all day! Thank you

So good, I’d love to see one like this on Jamerson!!

Very very cool and fun. Thanks so much.

This was awesome u inspired me to get back on bass after 10 years.Another video that would be awesome is a ZAPP and RODGER top 10 baseline...I'd commend you lol✊🏾🙏🏾

Loved this video. See ya in the shed

Hooooo! That tone on "So What The Fuss" is NASTY! Love it!

Yes we did have fun. A lot actually. Make more of these videos please

Awesome Dude, Awesome Artist, Awesome Video!!

When I first started playing bass, i considered learning the bass line to sir duke like learning stairway to heaven(6 string guitar being my first instrument). When I finally started digging into his tubes, I fell in love with playing bass.

Love your videos Ian! You rock

Thanks mate…. This is a great great open minded Bass lesson. Stevie is great And so are you SBL !!!! 😀👍👍👍👍🥰

Thanks for breaking down your sound creation. We might need a volume two. Even songs that use synth like "Go Home" would groove so well on electric bass.

superb video. thanks

Totally awesome!

Wow, this is so much fun, I wanna try this bass lines~

Yeah, Stevie has the best bass lines.

I worked at the pro audio company Solid State Logic (SSL) in the late '80s. They had a copy of the 24 track multi-track to the Stevie Wonder songs "Do I Do" and "That Girl" in their demo studio there. I'm a bass player, so I spent quite a few hours after work sitting by myself in that studio listening to the "Do I Do" bass and drum tracks mixed very prominently trying to work out the parts. Happy times.

So many great lines to choose from!!!
