Level 42 – ‘Running in the Family’

Course Duration: 38 Minutes | Difficulty Level: 4

‘Running in the Family’ was one of Level 42’s biggest hits, reaching #6 in the UK charts in February 1986. The song features a relatively simple slap bass part from Mark King, but it’s a line with several hidden treasures: fretting hand slaps, sixteenth note-based licks and major/minor tenths are all put to use here, resulting in a bass part that’s enormously satisfying to play.
