Incognito – ‘Talkin’ Loud’

This song is from Incognito's 1993 album Positivity and is one of the band's most popular tracks. It features a complex fingerstyle bass groove written by Richard Bull and performed by Randy Hope-Taylor. This line is one of the more challenging parts in the band's catalogue.

This bassline features many of the key ingredients in fingerstyle funk basslines. These include staccato notes, heavy use of syncopation, the use of chord tones, double chromatic notes, tenths and more. Learning this line will help you to incorporate all of these elements into lines of your own.
