Hard to Handle Bass, Geddy Lee Fender Jazz bass

[bangaloremusic]

"Hard to Handle" was not written by the Black Crowes .. it is a 1968 song originally recorded by Otis Redding and written by Redding, Al Bell and Allen Jones.

Rock on mate. I am a big fan of Otis Redding. I also own a Jazz bass but from 1977. Cheers

[brianhealy2001]

Yes, it was originally an Otis Redding song which was slower with a more funky bass line. The Black Crowes cover is great too but with a more rock feel. To be fair the Black Crowes have written some really good originals.

[billengelman]

sounds good, but pretty sure the song was written by Otis Redding

Hey dude, nice playing but you really do need to work on using more fingers to fret the notes. Makes thing easier, and it'll add to the over all comfort of playing...Also, next time get dressed before you press record, eh? :P

[blah114a]

yes.. thanks for the comments.. I generally play inefficiently.. I would post more vids with more fingers (besides outfits), but my vids keep getting taken down..

[cashcac84]

u're forcing your shifts...make them flow smoothly

[blah114a]

where? from f# to a to b?

[cashcac84]

no just your shifts in general...try using your index and pinky fingers more...see if that helps you

[cashcac84]
