Bass - The Who - Another Tricky Day

[MoveOverCasanova]

not bad not bad!!!

[Murreh]

Don't think I've even heard this song before but damn what a bassline!

[Murreh]

@PiaggioMax Never use tabs.

[delta30024fly]

Hey BMOTH,

I really enjoy the effort, you got this stuff down cold, do you have a favorite bass player, if so, why and do you ever use a pick.

I'm getting back into the bass after 40 years of abstainance...keep up the good work.

[BassManOnTheHill]

@delta30024fly I have a few favorite bassists I draw my inspiration from. I enjoy Rock & old R&B bassists mostly. Jones, Entwistle, Geddy, Jamerson, Butler and so on. I Iike the way these bassists can take the bass out for walks so to speak.

[BassManOnTheHill]

CONT...The basslilnes really have there own voices and carry much of the weight of the songs they are in. I never use a pick, (not that there is anything wrong with one). They just don't fit into my style and you can achieve the same sounds with your nails and flamenco style finger picking. I've seen great bassists use picks on occasion though. Thanks for your comment and you should not abstain from your bass (its a healthy habbit and it has feeling too you know) HAHA. Later

I like!!! very cool and nice job

[RKONEVAL3]

VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[ericm104]

Nice job !!! Good song choice. The Fender P Bass rules !!!

[huguinhogt1]

Playing the best bass player ever is difficult

[Murreh]

@huguinhogt1 This isn't Jamerson dude.

[rundangit]

Only one problem: you're playing in C, when The Who recorded it in C#.

[56jensen]

keep up those chops man

[mriseborough]

Best Wishes

[stratfan1]

I don't think John himself could have played it any better! GREAT JOB!!!

[TRJBASS]

Just made the switch from Rotosound to DR sunbeams, what a great string,,,, nice playing.

[MultiSillyputty]

good job lad.................john from above

[reignman2112]

is the fill at :54 yours, or is it part of the original?

[clifbuel]

Another awesome job dude!

[dwayne0t]

Damn you're good. That's exactly how I imagine me playing it, but without all the skillful bits. "You irritate me my friend" :p

[piggyporridge]

how long have you been playing bass ? Think you are very good,I have just started and am finding it very difficult,do you have any tips on practice please ?

[tomthefunky]

You nailed it, man. THIS IS TRUE!!!

[ox092]

Do know what effects Entwistle used for that crunchy sound?

[BassManOnTheHill]

@ox092 I'm not sure what effects if any, but I know he liked fresh strings and very high treble and bass settings.

[TheBassfresh]

@ox092 ...it was the way he used his plucking hand and rotosound swing bass roundwounds...he hit the strings w/ the flat of his fingers strinking them like a piano string hammer. He also had an extremely low action w/ dead flat relief. It can be duplicated but you need a great neck and perfect fretwork.

[RhumOnFire]

well played. that video helped me a lot! thank you :)

[profjohnfrinks]

almost all john entwistle songs are harder thn they seem... and they seem pretty hard...

[fishfan67]

Man!! your just Great!!!. i watch you video's all the time and lern something from them eact time i watch thanks. your timing is on the money. Just no mistakes perfect playing bro. I think you might even be John Entwistle Who faked his death. "That's why you don't show your face in your videos" it's ok John it' ok come clean break out with the alembic!

[Ramanizzler]

The Who is my favorite band mainy because of the awesome bass lines and you play them the way i remeber hearing them when i fell in love in with them

keep it up

"join together" would be a nice one

[rajbeast]

so great!!!!!! thunderfingers is watching this from second and loving it and being proud of u every second!!!!!!

[BassManOnTheHill]

Entwistle was probably my first serious influence for the bass guitar. I'm always finding something new to practice from his arsenal. He had a very strong sense for improvisation. Learning Who songs is still a great challenge and pleasure. Thanks for the comments!

[rajbeast]

yea no problem and playing who songs on bass can be pretty hard but those entwistle bass licks are just cool and smooth!!!!!!

[isaiahangelo]

looks just like John's fingers!!!!

[fishfan67]

impressive playing. i love your style. we use to play Tricky Day back in 1983 while winning all the battle of the bands in high school . i had my fathers1961 fender precision bass then. i sold it for $450 to get another bass, SAD! i really regret that now, but i have many basses now including a 1962 usa ressue that sounds the same if you ask me,.but this song really reminds me of that 1961 that imy ole man gave me ) : great memories

[wnils]

I just love your playing! Absolutely love it!

[sticksbass]

that was great!

[brandontylerkaiser]

not bad kind makes me relive thisband =]

[BassManOnTheHill]

Thanks all. Somebody on youtube asked me to try this song, I don't remember who... so I gave it a shot, hope you like it.

[Th3BL4ckKn1ght]

[bass4funk]

[TPBass1224]
