The Beatles - Michelle [Groovy Bass Cover]

[Damnicansing]

Very discoeee!!

[shuanteo]

Hey man awesome playing! So damn groovy!

[MrNorbi14]

Which bass is tthat?

[infusion26]

@MrNorbi14 This is a Yamaha BB2000 neck-thru bass from the eighties.

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome music! I like this version better than the original Beatles version.

[brett2525]

this version is from that time the beatles performed on the lawrence welk show

[HAFIZm3nace]

for a second there I thought it was ultraman's intro song. :s

[MrBeatlesFan99]

Ok. First, cool bass cover, second, no one uses the word "groovy", and third, you can use groovy to describe this song because it sounds like it was made in the 70's.

[AeroRanger100]

Sounds like a sad version of the Jeopardy theme. lol

[stevieplez2]

Hey who do you think was the best bass player??

[cgarbiano]

Baby, your the best !

[edro3111]

Beautiful riffs! You are one helluva bass man!

[MrNathan791]

simply beautiful. this was my first time hearing this beatle classic played in an up tempo. your fret hand positioning was very smooth. great job.

[IAm4SureTheWalrus]

i like it but 70s disco version much? haha

[thecoolestdad]

You are awesome dude.I have only been teaching myself the bass for about two years and a drummer of nearly 40 years.WOW! I love your style.I hope to be that good someday.What kind of bass is that?I love it.I currently have a Rogue copy of Hofner's violin bass and i am going to be getting an acrylic bass soon.I am left handed and I play a left handed bass but it is restrung as a right handed one.I had a new nut put on it and restrung right handed.It's just the way I learned.On a right handed one.

[infusion26]

@thecoolestdad Thanks a lot for your comments, I'm glad you like my work. I use here my old Yamaha BB 2000 Bass.

Greetings and have good luck !!

[thecoolestdad]

@infusion26 Thanks for bass info.If I may ask,how long have you been playing the bass?For me,as I stated in my other comment,I have been at it for about 2 yrs now.I've got a long way to go.I am playing mostly with a pick,but i have been really practicing hard playing with my fingers too.I would like to be able to play both ways sufficiently.

[cgarbiano]

@RunningWolf102294 This man is the most awesome bass player !

[cgarbiano]

Wow ! I absolutely loved this ! I must have listened to it 15 times. Who did this instrumental version?

[MrHarrybongo]

where is that cover version from?

[dougfunnyrocks]

do you have tabs for this?? this is killer!

[hanzabass]

Every now & then I come back to this upload, it is really good.. And, also, I like the sound of the Yamaha. Thanks, Infusion! What does "infusion" means by the way, kruidenthee?

[RevolverRicoche]

Perfect for the next Super Smash Bros!

[Noise789]

that is one fine ass bass. damn

[iryon41]

[mcrvsa7x]

[mastercody56]

[MsBobohj]

there was no bass in michelle

[hiphopsucks96]

@MsBobohj umm...no shit. this is a COVER, and if u haven't noticed, he isn't playing over the original either. and either way, he still has complete musical liberty over how he wants to play the song.

[polloazulquevuela]

@MsBobohj you idiot lol there´s bass in michelle, listen to the original and you will find

[DraakenBlod]

Man you're so good, I'm a bass player too and I'd like so much to have you as my teacher. XD

Love all your covers, I'll try to learn this one. Very good taste in music by the way!

[infusion26]

@DraakenBlod Thanks a lot for your comments, I'm glad you like my work

[yookil]

wow! it's awesome!

[DivineWindOfTheSnow]

Wow. So groovy!

[ARABICHOMIE]

you played pretty well :-) songs like the song in its original recorded version....

[nintendofan1993]

This is so awesome! Sounds so much like the music that would play during a car chase from a Roger Moore Bond film, absolutely love it, great stuff! :D

[lapooh]

I love it!

[brandon672008]

what did you do with the original pickups?

[RunningWolf102294]

only a few people can turn the bass into a solo instrument, John Conn, Paul McCartney. And you are up there my friend.

[brandon672008]

5/5! what pickup/tone knob settings are u using?

[EvenHummROCKS]

BEatles got some groovy basslines!

[Schimmoller]

gay !

[ptouchbaby]

Freaking crazy sweat man. Nice!!!

[Imakecents]

Nice job. I have a few bass covers of the Beatles too. Still the best rock group alltime in my opinion. I never get sick of the Beatles

[thebeatles1015]

nice video man

[Chrabo3]

Its one word I can say: awesome.

[infusion26]

Thank you !!

[MissBeatleGirl]

¿? hahaha

great video!!

[GingerFilmz]

where are your sources from?

[spameister]

He's a superfan, he needs no sources.

Andy Rourke played this bass and he's a win over McCartney anyway :p

[asdi40011]

is it a yamaha BB414?

[infusion26]

No this is a Yamaha BB2000

[zedrein18]

@infusion26 More like a Yamaha "blow job" bass.

[asdi40011]

who s playing the track? in this version,of course....james last?

[starmanspr]

i actually think this is awesome.

[baloons4satanists]

rofl

[patoimacgination]

o.0

disco

perfect way to ruin the song

[SlyStayStoned]

[DIVENTNA]

[MrUnderdog1970]

Please don't do anything like this again........please? Great playing though!

[iowdave]

WTF? No, just NO! :-s

[jlbg2008]

Esse cara é bom!!!

[specterblade92]

did you make up the last part, cause bass chords are awesome

[danidiams]

superbe!

[dumapies]

what bass is that it looks and sounds wicked

[abel0422]

solo chingon, amigo.

[n00bz0rpwnz0r]

look at this guy.... perfect technique absolutly NO wasted movement or energy (ie lifting finger high up or hitting the strings hard) he should be far more famous then what he is... and make tutorials :)

[alluurpo]

you're absolutely right! =)

[cgarbiano]

@n00bz0rpwnz0r Isnt he great !!

[lauritaa13]

I like the goroooovvyyy!

Me likkessssss :) made me wana dance

[MeunanMind]

LOL, very good very good.

[dtowno351]

WTF..?? lol.. nice playing and nice axe dude but DAMMMM on the version its elevators gone wild

[ROLLitOVERmySOUL87]

LMAO...yeah..."Donna Summers does The Beatles" =\

[strictlybass]

Play that disco muzak, white boy... lay down that boogie and play that disco muzak 'til you die. Well, it's definitely an interpretation of "Michelle" that I wouldn't have thought of. I do think you are a top notch bassist and enjoy your Beatle bass covers. Thanks for posting.

[Galfough]

this should be in elevators all over the world

[LittleQueen7]

Haha!

[KimYungSoo]

@Galfough you're so fuckin right.

[km9OOO]

Great jazzy arrangement! But the phrase, "Please remain on hold until our next available operator can assist you" kinda comes to mind. :)

[treblok]

I'm a big Beatles fan. Nice playing, but why cover a bad cover of a GREAT Beatles Song... Check out Victor Wooten"s version with Bele' Fleck. You have to make it better than the orginal or make it totally KOOL... Just my opinion. Peace...

[BassGeekJack]

whoa i've never heard this version. It's so groovy, this bass line belongs to disco now. That was awesome.

[infusion26]

Thanks :-)

[lochlainnkerley]

i always compliment this guy but i far rather the original he could own it

[hanzabass]

Very Nice, very James Lastish. But that's not neccesary a bad thing.. Like all your groves and song choice, you have a taste like mine...

[betoski]

WoW sounds so awesome

[Nickdude6]

who made that backing track

turns it into disco ha

[infusion26]

I have found this one on an old C90 tape which I have sadly lost !

Greetings

[Phodie56]

this has a bit of latino rock/jazz to feel to it, I really like it!

I think this is a very interesting arrangement you've got here!

[heisjustchillin]

did you do that arangment yourself?!?! It's awesome

[GottaWatchShit]

I especially liked :45 - :55ish. Very nice ^_^

[ChuckieDeG]

Why do you have so many fuckin' pickups? Do you need that many? I thought only Stu Hamm had that many pickups.

[infusion26]

These bass has only two pick-ups! EMG J & P bass pickups.

[smaragdt]

a like the last point)

[wahwahpedalmaster]

can i please have the tabs

thnx

[cyberdems]

absolutely awesome ! =D

[LanciaTurbo]

oooo gotta learn this! tight playing!

[wavemann]

simply wounderfull !!!

groooooovy man

[hauntday]

whatafuck!

[arsene737]

I wish YouTube had a spam button for videos! As of today I will start collecting signatures for a ban against disco-versions of Michelle!

[GilyMac]

bahaha.. yes.. leave the beatles be.. no disco versions please!

[bryanswagerty]

Haha. Yes!

[governergusgus]

i think its kinda funny!!!!

[Water209]

DANGG!!! NICE BASS....:D 100% 5*

[allan8811]

where did you find the backing track? can i have it?=) thnks

[infusion26]

I have found this one on an old C90 tape which I have sadly lost !

[allan8811]

so do you have it in mp3 or something

can i have it pliz.._

[WombatPA]

Where can I find a copy of this song? I have almost learned the bass line from this video (mad props) but I would like to find the clean version to practice to.

[InfamousBassman]

Man u did a great job on this do u have music or u did it by ear?

[infusion26]

I play only by ear !

[josh9wwfc]

are you playing a Yamaha bass? like the one Paul McCartney played in the late 70's??

[infusion26]

Yes this is a Yamaha BB2000 Bass guitar. I'am not sure if it is the same one like Paul used in the 70's.

[uglywhat]

Me To dang just so cool

[dufferinmall]

i fuckin love it!

[iMaMacc]

Love it man I think i might have to learn that :D

[TankShock087]

Nice vid dude! ^^

but that groovy version of michelle XD

sound like the theme of those 80's teleseries XD

[Killianfe]

Hey man! Now I've just realized I have to walk a long way to play my bass guitar just as you do! Thanks a lot for the vid! That was great!

[gothicmusican]

Nice !!!

[PatagonicGroove]

that sh** was awesome =)

[benjaminr87]

Echt supervette bassline! :-) Zou je een tab kunnen maken hiervan, ik zou dit supergraag willen leren.

[drummerchic31]

good playin!!! ;)

[infusion26]

Thank you ! :-D

[rwpfilms]

you are a great bassist

[Tdani81]

My dad had a guitar like that--played to me before I was born up until about age 3 then I taught myself to play it around age 13

[Phaseonegraph]

DUDE WTF!! Nice bass playing, but the actual song sounds like a cheesy version they play while you're shopping at some shitty department store circa 1983.

[punkidjulian]

lol

[Tdani81]

Love that ending too

[Tdani81]

O M G!!! I love this groovy Disco version! Nice innovation! Absolutely love it! Keep it up!

[bobidly]

wat kind of bass do u have?

[infusion26]

This is a early '80s Yamaha BB2000 bass guitar.

[tychofalc]

great job! you turned an already great song into an even greater one!!

[albanyjohn]

Hi there again infusion26. do you have a first name? Again a first rate cover of one of my very favorite Beatles tunes.

Keep 'em coming.

[CrzybuthatsHowItGoes]

haha, far out! (Wait, would "far out" be considered 70s?)

[waltere200]

I listen to a lot of Michelle versions but not like the way you play the bass line on a groovy style. You make it so easy for us but I know it takes time to learn it. Are you a professional playing on a big orchestra or jazz band? This is one of the best videos I've seen so far! You are now my fan. Thanks.

[infusion26]

Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[vasillyvasilly]

again, i just wanna say. wow this is amazing.

very well done.

[gezdogg]

nice one mate

[infusion26]

I am really glad that people appreciate this video but I have to remind you that I do not have tabs !

[TheBealtesRock2344]

could i have the tab?!:)

[vasillyvasilly]

this is awesome.

can you send me the tabs for this?

thanks.

[SirCanealot]

You realise it'd take him longer to write out a tab for this than it did for him to learn it?

[gnr700]

I highly doubt Lennon had much to do in regards to the writing composition on this tune. Every aspect of it's arrangement points to McCartney.

Nice cover!

[SirCanealot]

This is what the bass was made for! Awesome! :D

[rutlegirl]

very cool! I like this dico version of the song hehe... sounds like something that was playing in 77 when I was born.

-Michelle

[infusion26]

Thank you Michelle. :-]

[raekwon2008]

Very cool.

[Mhepac]

yeeeeeeeeee here in spain this bassline is called "pasodoble" like manolo escobar!!! :D check it please!!! really fun!

[RMKmedia]

Te gek! Waar heb je de back-track vandaan. Lijkt me leuk oefenmateriaal.

[infusion26]

Ik vond dit op een oud cassette tapeje maar weet niet wie de uitvoerende zijn.

[RMKmedia]

Het klinkt erg James Last. Dus ik zal eens kijken of het op een oude LP in de platenkast van mijn ouders staat.

[infusion26]

Zou best eens kunnen zijn dat het van James overlast afkomstig is HahaaHa........

[bladtcoomadness]

awesome

[psylosisbassist]

i just came from a "face down" bass cover with some prick using his fingers to play that simple as hell song

this sure is refreshing, great job

[Bornisen]

I like the thing in the end, 10 secs left =) nice playing

[tbcass]

I can't believe you play as well as you do with 1 finger!! It's got to limit your speed. I think Geddy Lee plays that way too.

[Richardarthur86]

Goed bezig! Zou je een basscover van "In my life" van de Beatles kunnen doen? Succes!

[infusion26]

Bedankt :-} Ik ben zeker van plan om meer van The Beatles te gaan doen !

[gabrielango]

mas muito bom

[gabrielango]

que arranjo de desenho japonês

[Gronamintar]

I actually used to play bas before I started with the Guitar!

My favorite song to play was, children of the grave, by Black Sabbath!

[SirCanealot]

That's an Iron Maiden song... 0_o

[Gronamintar]

Noooo, childen of the DAMMED are a Iron Maiden song but children of the GRAVE is Black Sabbath!

[SirCanealot]

Oh shi--

[hawkeye2145]

THIS is why I want to learn bass :-)

[DaGleese]

there is no way on earth that could get any better, NICELY DONE!!

i love that ending harmony!!!

[Scoffed]

Nicely done! Groovy cover ;)

And that is a good looking bass

[renaudbassplayer]

hey man thats a sweet bass you got there !

[burdy123]

amamzing :P i liked it

[infusion26]

Thank You !

[neothomist1275]

Sounds good but pinky up and wrist straight!

[spaceonthebass]

That's a really nice bass :)

[rekordp2]

Nice Playing, Good work !!

[infusion26]

Thank you !
