[grafixgirl]

Great job. Nice slapping technique.

[clarity4clarity]

its good but write COVER on the title.!

[suebear40]

OMG, that was fantastic! great job!



[eekny0003]

I love it! Dad played the bass, so this is bringing back memories of him trying to teach me...I stuck to writing...lol...Great Job!

[ThLuckyOne]

KUDOS! Not only did I enjoy your playing, you also seem to have captured some of the humor of old "thunder-thumbs" himself. EXCELLENT use of vibrato and the whole work was just tastefully done. THANKS for this great upload!

[misterpoutine]

Man, this one is not an easy one, and you're playing it like a champ !!

Well done !

[06291963]

16 Ppl. are jealous they can't play like this...awesome job..=)

[ADRY478012]

BRAVO. GOOD SONG!!!

[Vlad31]

15 dislikes?? this guy made it flawless, whats wrong with you

[chxsktr]

jam

[stoffs345]

superb playing

[bunnyhead71]

Excellent brother..Mark King has got some magnificent phrasing - Always loved the tone..\

[djthalie]

clean!

...and refreshing that you tuned prior, (which seems common sense) but you have any idea how many people that post the bass part on YT are not in tune when they begin? lol.

got a steinburger? :)

[Libertysdime]

love love love the bass most in ANY live band...you're no exception. very nice.

[JamaicaGold1]

Fantastic job. I dare the best keyboardist try this with the best synthesizer out there. I doubt they will come close to the real thing.

[pugbiscuit]

Did Mark King proud on this one. This video really helps me focus on the bass part in the song. Love this song.

[gerry44000]

Good job,man !

What a nice bass cover !

[MegaHeavenking]

Well done man!!!! I'm so jealous of you!!! You flick those strings with no sweat!! Keep playin' man I love it.

[gnarlyharley71]

Great job!

[1952Ball]

Very nice! god gave you that, use it. as I wish I had that. I look at my little brother and I have asked Father Vido" why was he born slow? " and I made it in the Air Force? He said "You and all are a gift ..".Don't waste it my son." So you Play on my friend, love your god givin talent.

[mstomikia]

Really really nice. u made it look so easy!

[aurby83]

Sounds Great Man!!!! Great Job on playing the Guitar Solo!!!

[ibernalq]

that note at  1:17.. awesome.. nice bassline.. nice job....

[naoconsigolernada]

Very good. But this music is not so hard to play. Try something more elaborate!

[CScotR91]

Best one i've seen!

[Motorcyclemick]

Enjoyed watching & listening to this.

[clmoore28]

This was very good. I have been playing bass almost 2 years and there is so much I still need to learn. You played this song so good and I really enjoyed watching you play the bass to this song.

[shortandstylish]

Absolutely brilliant ... well done!!!! Ever tried Rio by Duran???? Great bassline!

[bravobug77]

awesome bass slapping....well and excellently done !

[mbb448]

Excellent work! I'm enjoying listening to your version more than the original. It's hard to appreciate a bass melody in original versions since they are always subtle and in the background. I had no idea this song had such a brilliant and beautiful bass line. Thanks for sharing the video and, again, nice work!

[pongoid]

Not bad. The notes are pretty well on, but the feel is a little less lively than King. There are a lot of little grace notes and things not there, but overall it's a decent representation of the tune.

[dlmaston]

Very nice! You would benefit from trying to relax a bit more, and lay back into the groove! Keep up the great work!

[redverter]

Bass line is tight!

[richardpeej]

great playing my friend

[0181080]

You are not strumming right. Also at 0.40 sec you have to go low.

[tangfastico]

Well done, my friend! I'm a drummer, but that was very impressive!

I love this song and this bass line!

[dltodd1966]

Really well-done!

[Complicatorius]

Mycket bra sehr gut very good tres bien muchas buenas

[alesssj4]

nice one. I know nothing of playing music but I have a great ear for it. There are a few extra notes in your coverage but as you're consistent through to the end I assume it is on purpose. Excellent bass control mate.

[CHOOSETOLOOSE]

awesome job

[rnaples21]

I didn't realize the bass line had so much melody.  Good Job!

[mummymand]

Absolutely love Level 42 and Mark King - still the best gig I've ever been to and that must have been about 20 years go!

[cunycracker]

good job

[in2theabyss17]

DAAAAAAAAAMMMNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! Well done, well done!!! You're an awesome bass guitarist!!!!!

[pauln1969]

very nice great job :)

[lizard944]

Excellent coverage. Now how about adding those two 16th notes (actually three notes..the first is kind of a pick up note ex: "duh-dit-dit"), at the end of every third measure just after the vocals start.?

[laffers19]

not that good man

[TreesOfBaylor]

"bwa bwa bwa bwa bwawawa" play that bass!

[marmont48]

Awesome! Well done!

[aljamin45]

Fantastic job...I've seen a few people attempt this and getting the pace and rhythm right is tough. Really punchy, really tight...nice work!

[mattireisso]

Thanx so much!!

[chiefandthief]

Magnificent. Just love the way you play the bass in sync with the track.

Im gonna get a bass guitar and try playing for myself.

But dude, Im sure you have had years of practise, hence the fact your pretty good at it. You make it look so easy.

It looks so tricky to play. Ah well, practise will only make perfect once I start : )

Good stuff!!!!!

[mattireisso]

Thanks...but I am playing just for little more then 2 years...PRACTICE

[mattireisso]

Thank you!

[jaihi5krishan]

[modellaudie]

amazing....very good job!

[SUPREMEatrophy]

WoW....very nice dawg....Awesome job

[mattireisso]

No. It´s not a difficult bass-line. translation should be easy. Do you know how it works? If not, send me an e-mail...

good luck and thank you!!!

[mattireisso]

...Mark King live plays some various pre-chorus lines...

[MrCarbohydrate79]

Absolutely fantastic. Just wondering, though - Mark King plays with a 4-string, like you do, but all the tabs that I could find for this track are written for a 5-string. Is there much of a change in using a 4-string? Any chance you could point me in the direction of some tabs, please, to help out a newbie bassist?

[Billecbqrp]

Makes me want to get one also. You are blessed with a real tallent.

[mattireisso]

Hey, do it!! It´s not too difficult. I´m same age like you and began in 2007...Yesterday i was visiting a concert of Level 42 in Germany/ Nabburg (Open air) GREAT!!!
