Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer bass cover

[2010wicca]

Don't worry about the critics, it sounded awesome. looking forward to more of your videos. Keep rockin.

[OR4NGASN3AKERS]

DAMN! This is awesome, learning this song myself right now.. (:

[suzansccisor]

Muito bom!

[aadams22]

Good talent, good finger speed, but it's not right. First off the intro of E2,E3,B2,D3,E2,E2,B2,D3 - which you do have correct btw - is supposed to be played through 23 times before changing...you only do it 15. There are other mistakes but I won't list them here.

[andygodlewski]

your d string's sharp

[dj6ful]

cant hear the guitar... its very subtle

[THAD0DG3R]

i cant pull the strings correctly =( any tips?

[THAD0DG3R]

i cant pull the strings correctly =(

[finskate97]

gibsonin basso (Y)

[B5ASS]

I admire the quality of this cover, but you're playing with your thumb. That irritates me...

[casperdo90]

@B5ASS That was my first reaction too, but listen to that fat tone he gets from the open E by using his thumb o.0

[f4ldrummer]

OMG! DUDE! I WISH I HAD YOUR TALENT!!

[joeremy24]

wow man where u took those tabs

[TheOngelma]

AWESOME!!!

[mrichig]

[onta500rr]

[zachOSX]

awsome!! pure awsomeness!! great vid, its helped me out a lot with this song

[MrBassmasta666]

I really love that thick but punchy tone you get out of the ripper, still prefer the grabber G3 for sharp defined sound, but its a close run after seeing this!

How much did that bad boy set you back mate? Keep rockin ;)

[samcgilbert]

Ace!! mate!! :D

[thealix100]

You has hellped me LOT'S!!!!!!!!!!!! Trying to play this for school but could not understand untle now!

[Jipmunchkin]

[luiswild]

[MegaBassPlayer97Gr]

A M A Z I N G!

[ARGUS90912]

lol

[ARGUS90912]

can you play the song without the music only the bass, btw you have real nice Bass Guitar we are talking music not Justin Bieber crap. PS: you should join the Band Bon Jovi itself.

[czechRocker39]

@ARGUS90912 i liked ur comment, but i really REALLY hate the fact that u just had to mention the lil fruitcakes name

[MrWaryus]

perfect

[MrWaryus]

perfect

[asquaredjsquared]

BEST COVER OF THIS SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD!! WOW Ur Good!

[LivingForBass]

[kaieo]

when i looked to the right i saw a coloured hamburgers all you can eat add in glasgow :/

[moonrays00]

tabs?

[MrsKnynie]

Awsome Gibson The Grabber!

[Georgeqaws]

you can tell he is actually a guitar player because he uses his thumb on the top string. While it does work well for this song. NOT FOR BASS. But whatever.

[trikki205]

Check this video the guy playing god

watch?v=R6-WO3pw2vk

[kevern000000]

nice one!

[IzzyThe015]

in this song,the bass is so awesome

[clbmalone]

nice video, trying to learn this song for a school performance

[Chargeglass]

Wish I would've kept my copy on Youtube, I smashes alot of these guys =(

[theguitarguymike]

o snap. its a gibson bass. thats the 3rd one ive seen. the other 2 were at vintage auctions i went to. how is it?? i have 2 les pauls at home looking for a bass and i love gibson! how is it?

[gomukiller]

Smooth :)

[AndyRiffer]

You nailed it !! awesome dude !

[keith221191]

@craigrjanssen you are one sick bass player i love your work cant stop watching this vid keep it up mate

[keith221191]

i love the tune of the bass line in the chorus haha low then sort of high

[1234as1]

Haha, your fingers playing are funny to watch. Nice cover by the way 5/5

[SetoLarry]

muy bueno!

[BassBoyGio]

@SetoLarry hola! me llama alfonso. que pasa?

[VirusTsunami]

gibson ripper?

[xRyuzakii]

Frank Ene has that bass lol ( The Fall of Troy bassist. )

[cartamas]

This is FAULT! The correct bass line this: E-E7-B-D, E-E-B-D and repeat...

[tubepoliceuk]

@cartamas You may find this hard to take but your comment is pointless…. Bass playing is all about passion what feels right at the right time. (and more importantly what doesn’t)

It’s not about ego…. however please be assured I will seek your advice on hair and makeup products before my next Gig.

[Kizzadafatman]

Awesome bass playing... but u missed a note a 1:26 . lolz. still awesome btw.

[LosTChG]

o.o

My thumb got blistered trying to play like you xD

[RockinBassPlayer3]

Excellent!

[Bassmastaful]

haha i like the transition from the intro to the rest of the song with the keyboard fill

[tapout684]

[Cyclosx]

You sir, are awesome.

Same as "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" by "The Bealtles"

[DumboSCI]

very good men

[halleluja69]

You have tabs to this? Plz i really need those

[bowlingbballer]

@halleluja69 E - open A - 7 E - 7 A - 5 E - open E - open E - 7 A - 5 repeat like 16 times ...thats like the intro thingy and that'll get you started

[bubbl3man]

Thx

[cheedoz]

nicely done , very clean

[themarc16]

for beginners i figured out the main riff on one string:

7 10 0 12 7 10 0 0 0 and then start all over from there.hope this helps.

[1997ofek]

Very Good!

[lowfreq65]

are you that dude from Nirvana?

[uribertocchi]

your style pf playing is very different, i liked it :)

[bertito43]

Excellent performance, but IMO you have to use a little bit more your second finger in your right hand, but anyways 5 stars

[rafaelcluzxp]

Very Good man ! :D

[DirtyFret]

[sarah34967]

[bmart7777]

it's definitely good, but how come you only use your index finger to strum with for the last like minute of the song?

[adco19]

it's all practice man.. if you make excercises with your fingers to play faster and better.. you can do that and even more.. =)

regards...!

[Harlan9889]

[Sk8erEd93]

dude thats sick!!!!

[darkhart58]

must be outta tune to be played on the first frets

[jb0177]

not true...

That's just one of 3 ways (correct me if I'm wrong)

of playing the intro.

[smsjgoku]

yea i know another way uses open note,2 different 7th frets and a 5th fret cuz thats the way i play and it sounds right

[barnabeee1]

tuning ?

[guitarluc1234]

that bass is a gibson, correct?

[AbbyKnightsFtw]

[Zateattack]

me gusto.!!!..^^..yo tengo ese cover pero en traa en mi cuenta youtube.!!.visitala..^^

[GambitdaCajun]

I love the bass for this too!

[bluenessaja]

good job man, im self taught too, just havent gotten round to uploadin anything yet. i also play by ear, u get a better feel for the melody that way cos u know they are the right notes, us bassists need a sharper ear for those low notes...BTW fuck tabs...

[david1470]

actually tabs are great. they get a lot of the work done and all you have to do is fix the parts that are off

[ifbasscouldtalk]

cool bass... looks like a hofner from the neck up

[beduikissme]

good job man, kudos for all the fills! :)

just one piece of advice, tune your bass real good! you have no idea how much that will improve your overall quality!

still, best cover!

[stilltipin30591]

Damn that is an awesome cover man 10/10 no doubt

[lucianomh96]

where did you learn it???

[craigrjanssen]

Just from listening to the song closely ;)

[ww2luv]

do u have ot use ur pinky for the bass?

[craigrjanssen]

I don't use it to play any strings, sometimes I anchor my hand with it against the body of the guitar. But I'm trying to get away from doing that because it looks silly.  I'm self-taught, so I know I don't have very proper technique.
