About this riff
The whole song is built on one repeating bass figure in E minor, mostly a driving eighth-note pattern that leans on the open E string with syncopated slides and dead notes. Nailing it is less about hitting the notes and more about locking the groove tight to the kick and getting the muting and rhythmic feel right, which is what makes the line so infectious. It's a great study in playing 'in the pocket' and using space and dynamics rather than technical fireworks.
Did you know?
John Deacon's bass line was directly inspired by 'Good Times' by the disco band Chic, and Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards later said in an NME interview that the song came about because Deacon had spent time hanging out at their studio. The track marked Queen dabbling in disco/funk territory, and it became one of the band's biggest hits and Deacon's most celebrated songwriting contribution.
