In this lesson I'll be teaching you how to play Anthony Jackson's iconic plectrum part from 'For the Love of Money', which was a hit for The O'Jays back in 1973. This piece is an excellent study piece for Intermediate level plectrum players.
Anthony played a Fender Precision bass through a Maestro Phaser pedal on the original piece. In this video, I'm using a 1972 Fender Jazz bass and an EBS DPhaser pedal. I used the front pickup only on the bass, resulting in a tone that's very close to that of a Precision bass.
