Smooth - Carlos Santana ft. Rob Thomas. Solo Bass Cover

[seansbrew]

Nice playing, I'm still trying to get the feel for this tune. Good tone as well.

[135ganju]

2 questions: 1)what kind of strings do you use?

2) if your using a 4 string bass what kind of tuning do you use?

[jake10floors]

@135ganju 1) DR Black Beauties in this video. Use Elixir strings nowadays.

2) 4 string bass would be in standard. Don't use the B string in this vid IIRC. Lowest note is an E

[anrosaro39]

I really like how you play the bass. good

[NRSrider]

Basically song's structure is quite simple, but many fails due to lack of groove on the fingering. But you interpreted this near perfectly. Good job!
