Bass - The Who - The Real Me (Cover)

[winslowj]

My fingers hurt playing air bass. I can;t imagine hitting all of these strings.. Great job man!

[Greg763]

Awesome !

[TheCheesemelter]

having people like yourself record (and completely nail) these covers is such a treat, because it allows us to zoom right in and appreciate even more how amazing the original artists, in this case the fantastic mr entwistle, really were.

thanks for your part in teaching the world a little sliver of music history.

[ofsinope]

I'm pretty sure I've gushed about this video before, but this is the greatest bass song of all time and you absolutely nailed it.

[kubrick681]

Ever wonder what John was thinking when he recorded this song, wonder what inspired him to play the song that way.

[MrDermo1974]

perfection ;)



[PhantomUAV]

If I haven't said already.....fantastic bass playing!!

[QualityTimeChannel]

Subscribed. An infrequent act on my part to say the least.

[Policified]

great bass playing over a great song !

[Nettacki]

Now do Love Reign O'er Me. :)

[gibbon1998]

Such a KICKASS SONG!!!!

[RKONEVAL3]

WOW!!!! VERY GOOD!!!!!!

[nosidda17]

hey i dont suppose u have a tab for this coz u seem to play it well 100% looks like to me an i cant find a tab that is

[RareBird0]

I approve.

[michaelglencer]

wow, you are great dude, how long do you play the bass?

[leatherfacefan1974]

[you are already subscribed to BassManOnTheHill]

[chicken11999933]

You would make John proud man. Simply amazing job on this song, now I have to learn it! Haha.

[TheAxisbass]

Dude, you are off the freaking chain. This is probably the best cover of this bassline that I have ever heard

[zzyoman]

m8 ure fukkin sick!

[brianpage100]

Damn, you're good. Do you play in any bands?

[Drblooter99]

@brianpage100

Of course he plays in bands! You really think someone this good just posts on YT?

Local rock bands probably fight each other to death over him.

[brianpage100]

@Drblooter99 Yeah, but how many bands does he play in? I'm sure a bassist with his talent probably plays in several.

[Drblooter99]

@brianpage100

Yes, ok -- but if you're already sure he plays in several bands,

why ask him if he plays in ANY bands?!

[MrChristianbass2170]

Wow That was AWSOME! Just picked up my bass again after 10 years. That is something I want to trywhen I get the skills backup to speed.

[elpndl94]

Man Im addicted to your videos you are one of the best youtube bass players. The rhythm is on your fingers dude

[edmanrocks]

how did you learn it? it seems like a lot yet if broken down into smaller pieces maybe possible. could you do a video lesson on it?

[shaffer2112]

Got it going on man, well done

[henkorwy]

I have really enjoyed your playing. As I work on songs for my band you have made life much easier for me . I hope there is an opportunity for people to see you play live. I mostly play either a 6 string or 5 string Callowhill custom bass. But I do have a modifed Fender Jazz 4 string. Do you do anything with a bass with extra strings?

[4StringGuitar]

Ouch...nice.

[4StringGuitar]

Ouch...nice/

[neurocosm]

Insane.

[h4zre]

where'd you get your tab from? i have only managed to find half the song and the bits i sub in are nowhere near as good as yours at the end so i was just wondering if you could help me out thanks??

[1dgkonig]

Wow!!!!!

Mad tight. Great job.

[h4zre]

i'm jealous of how good you are...trying to sound like this for this song is hard but you nailed it

[ccrholland]

Wow, this is one of the best bass tones I heard in a while! Brilliant job!

[ultramagnus58]

helluva job there!

[clifbuel]

Great job Dude! I don't play & I can't tell you've tanspost your playing over his.Nice Job!

[ChicaneHead]

This is unbelievable

Awesome job

My band does this song and our bassist plays it brilliantly!

[staypress]

lovely tone how do u achieve that so that when I play this on my ole Fender Jazz it will be similar?

[BassManOnTheHill]

@staypress I think it might have been my fresh set of strings, and I was hammering down on the strings more than plucking them. Thanks

[michaelatw86]

@staypress You probably won't be able to 100% cop the tone of a P with a J. The tone in the video isn't particularly unique, although it is quite excellent.

[DCRex1988]

Fantastic playing! This is one of my favorite songs by The Who, largely due to the amazing bass part. Just fantastic.

[DarkFukt]

You HAVE to stand up to play this one, dude.

[mikefellows66]

Your one talented guy ! Pino should be worried ;o)

[Trademark691]

@mikefellows66 were probably watching Pino and hes just not telling us. look at him go hahaha!

[zenradio]

Nice job!

[godbluffvdgg]

Killer! I hope you have found a band to enjoy your bass proficiency. PHAT! from Philly.

[Konkeraz]

How can you not 'Like' that? Awesome stuff man. Didju just do this by ear or were there tab's or something? If so could you give me the link? Again great stuff!

[96weller]

hi,thanks for replying. Same here,love the who. The email adress is jackb2007@hotmail.co.uk. Thanks.

[96weller]

All i have to say to this is wow. How long have you been playing?? Can you please tell me the notes/tabs to the awesome one you play please??

[ChaosInExpansion]

nice job! very accurate, I'm looking forward more of your videos

[sugapablo]

Nice!

[russiainc]

Thank you for making my day. I've been plugging away at those riffs for some time with no luck. Great work laying that out. You've knocked me out of my comfort zone and pushed me to be a better bass player. Thank you!

[TheBassplayinggoalie]

Great video. I am working on learing this song, and this visual will help.

[shallball]

just awesome!

[TheHelmsmansPad]

that was fucking awesome dude. i just subscribed!

[Tdonn25]

[TommyGunnTheBassMan]

Dude! You earned my subscription... a hard thing to get!

[demonrat]

best covers ive seen in youtube.. amazing..

[herringbone]

dude, you nail all those songs, you are my favorite cover song bassist on youtube, by far! keep it up!

[mattsabby]

Simply fantastic. This is coming from a 30 year bass veteran. Awesome.

[lowfreq65]

THE OX LIVES!111111111111

[1972mustangsonicboom]

Good Job.. The best example of people playing this song I've seen. Others just didn't get the timing, bends, slurs or riffs correct.

[Dyna6363]

a true inspiration to help perfect my own playing!!! Great job!!!

[willkay73]

Spot on. Great sound quality as well.

[fishfan67]

DAMN! are you serious bro??? John Entwistle' didn't pass away.... he's right here in this video.

[ofsinope]

Excellent playing, thanks for the video

[lucas1wj]

mmm thats one tasty riff

[hickorybranch]

Are you serious dude?!!! That is just ridiculous!!!!!!

[gangstagokeezee]

great job dude

[npbass]

u have tabs for this? when i first got my bass my dads good friend said he'd only see me play once i learned this song haha

[dangloverenator]

Apologies for spam... Both those last two comments were aimed @lowfreq58

[jericho667]

great playing!!!

[GiantPandas]

Thanks for replying! Great job on this BTW. It's inspiring, although I'm not sure if I can play like this.

I've heard a lot of good things about DR's. The only DR's I tried was the Marcus Miller Signature. It's well, balanced, it last a long time and it's pretty smooth compare to other stainless steel.

The tension are a bit high, but it's meant to be like that for slapping.

I want to try other DR strings that will suit my style. I'm using Roto flats right now.

[GiantPandas]

What gauge are the strings on this one? Have you tried the nickel lo-riders?

[BassManOnTheHill]

They are 45-65-85-105. I guess you could call them standard or medium gauge. No I havn't tried lo-riders. DR makes pretty good strings though and I'm sure they sound good. I don't really experiment with different gauges too much. I'm so use to the standard 45's. I do like nickel strings a lot. Let me know how you like the DR's.

[SpeakToMe73]

@BassManOnTheHill These string will make you sound SO MUCH more like Entwistle. They're amazing:

[GiantPandas]

I think I'm going to try DR Sunbeams. What gauge is this?

[rajbeast]

awesome!!!!!!

[r0m3r12]

so cool your bass

[fishfan67]

nice job!! just want wanted to know..what kind of strings are you using and are they original p bass pickups in your precision. because not only are you fantastic, but your bass sounds sweet as well.

[BassManOnTheHill]

Yes, the pickups are the originals. The strings I use are nickel roundwounds (DR Sunbeams). They stay fresh, yet smooth and when they start to fade I just boil them for a while in water and they're like new again. Thanks for the comment!

[falcoris321]

wow awsome jobs

[Flare4roach]

Well done young man! Note for note. You're a natural. Keep it up.

[imanashtray]

Fuggin SMOKIN' my man!!! Absolutely awesome.

[lowfreq58]

Thats a great job . I ve been playing for 30 years and it kills me to hear people ask for a tab on something like this. For gods sake get some ears and a groove. You can read it all day but if you dont FEEL it its goinna suck.

[dangloverenator]

Wrong- you need both.

[dangloverenator]

Unless, of course, it's your own arrangement.

[kid4eva94]

perfect dude, i love this song and im only 15 years old lol, THE WHO live on forever

[JewishOnSunday]

great man

[MrDirtydad]

i'm learn this one now after all these years...thanks to you

[OrianaBorealis]

This is incredible, you really nailed it. I agree with the others who've said you make it look easy to play.

[MrBrawl]

Brilliant. I can't believe how close that was to how Entwistle played it on the record. That was basically exactly what he played, even the tone...wow, man, amazing job!!

[mykemiller]

Great job!! Do you have the tabs for what your playing? The ones on line that I have found suck!!

[then00best]

sounds like entwistle was making a lot of it up, filling in spaces differently each time

[OrianaBorealis]

I second this request-- they do all suck. I've been trying to tab it myself, but there are a few tricky spots that I keep getting stuck on.

[mmidgers]

That was absolutly sweet! you make it look easy :) 5/5

[EADGfreak]

Impressive! It looks so easy when you play it. I always mess it up when I try :(

[george1punk2]

very good!

what bass guitar is that?

[MQRED011]

Fender Precision Bass (or P-Bass)

[FFEMT152]

i hope you get paid to play cause you rule

[DaveyBoy22211]

Flawless. Simply flawless.

[blacksabbath82190]

that was prety sweet man

[cindysboots02]

Really, really nice. Clean technique - this was awesome to watch.

[mgpvii]

Too sick for words. With the way you play, shouldn't the backround in the video be full of studio equipment, in a luxurious house, Talent like that needs to be rewarded properly. Not like these wall street pigs who make tons of money doing nothing and provide nothing to society.

[zenradio]

Very well done.

[mmmbilly]

Unbelievable..........

[rawrfritis]

great job man, the song and the bass is awesome i love it 5/5 :D

[Nikolai46]

Show me your face, I know it's you, John!

[Jackts9999]

hahahahahaha...

[AttackU4pie]

Perfect, there are times I forgot you were playing it

[guitarscreamer32]

yeah I play lead bass XD

[ss6161]

Awesome! Always loved that song because of the bass. You play it flawlessly!

[nirvanafreak95]

wow. that's some awesome bass playing

[marcolinoz]

Brillant !!

[drewdropin]

how soothe are you??? Sick just plain sick!!!

[agilblom]

Time to start a band with you...

Really great job!

[Jackts9999]

amazing as always! best one after the lemon song. Well maybe tied.lol

[Th3BL4ckKn1ght]

WOW!!!! thats rockin'. what kind of camera do you use that picks up that bass in good quality?

[Th3BL4ckKn1ght]

nvm i looked at the reply you had on your ramble on video that told what you do.

[BassManOnTheHill]

Ya, I record directly through my soundblaster, but I wish I could get my video frame rate more in sync. These damn webcams suck, but I guess you get what you pay for.:)

[travelinmike08]

Dude! That totally Rocked My Morning. I'm All Pumped up Now. Thanks MaN! (TM)

[catmastermikey]

nice bass playin dude
