Video Lesson – ABC by The Jackson 5

May 4, 2015 by Paul Wolfe

Here’s a video lesson showing the bass guitar beginner how to play bass to ABC by The Jackson 5. I’m pretty sure that the bass player on this tune was Welton Felder – who also played on I Want You Back:

Here’s the lesson for ABC:

This tune was a number 1 hit for the Jackson 5 in 1970 and is considered one of their signature tunes.

I’ve split the lesson down into Verse, Chorus 1, Chorus 2, the breakdown/ad llib section and Chorus 3. If you learn the separate parts and then put them together you should be able to get through the song.
