Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away

I love this song's funky slap bass line, so simple but distinctive. I like the song, too, but the bass line is what really stands out:



Below is a cover of the bass line, showing how it is played using the slap and pop technique, which "involves slapping the lower two strings with the bony part of the thumb and popping notes on the higher two strings by pulling the string until it snaps against the fingerboard, producing a percussive sound" (Wikipedia).

The guy obviously feels cool playing it. And who wouldn't!

The opening bass line is addicting.

Of all the many Joy Division and New Order songs I could mention here this is my favourite Peter Hook bass line. It's infectious.
