"Oh Pretty Woman" Roy Orbison Bass Cover

[rudieronroses]

You is very very very beatiful have msn dude?

i play bass too.

[stitsevol]

Hi, I think you need to drop the volume on your playing while doing this as it was overpowering the song but you seem like a nice lady and I think you will get it perfect soon, good luck.

(there were a few mistakes but I know that you realise that so I look forward to your perfect version soon)

[rutlegirl]

@stitsevol I turn the amp up higher intentionally so we can hear the bassline that I am playing.

I'm not trying to play this note perfect, it's not a tutorial or anything... just me sharing my joy for playing bass.

I don' know what I'm doing, it's just fun :) Thank you

[cathymaid]

Right or wrong, it still sounds good to me.

[rutlegirl]

@cathymaid thanks sweetie!  I have so much fun playing bass :)

[orianthilzzy1234]

SWEET!

[rutlegirl]

@orianthilzzy1234 thanks! :)

[Jay4P]

this is badass

[rutlegirl]

@Jay4P thanks! I think it's so fun to play

[rajjar52]

They go to "E" on the word be-LIEVE, the word "lovely" and the word "walk"...there are also mistakes in the bridge too numerous to mention. Until you fix those errors you will never play it right. Let me know if I can help.

[rutlegirl]

@rajjar52 Thank you very kindly for telling me the correct notes . I am not claiming to play this, or any other song, accurately. I am not trying to be an example of perfection or prove anything. I am simply having fun and sharing my enjoyment with others. Most people on YouTube aren't trying to prove anything either, this is just people sharing with others :). I don't know why some people don't realize that and get caught up in 'perfection' and forget the point is to enjoy yourself .

[piggyporridge]

@rutlegirl I agree with you 100% Michelle,music is about fun and also interpretation.

[rutlegirl]

Think of it this way, if you played a song for a group of friends and Thier friends, would you expect them to say after you were done that you had played the song improperly? Of course not, because you play for fun and sharing the joys of life with friends, right? :)

[INSERTNAMEHERECOVE]

Hey, where can I can I find these tabs? Thats an amazing cover and i'd like to learn it as I am a rookie bass player so could you either send me the tabs or tell me where I can find them, thanks :)

[templeforeman]

[adnu294]

Hii Girl

[zo0oik]

pretty woman in paul basss

[charlesgs]

Please do not look at fretboard. I know u can do it!  Great cover!

[Maginel73]

If you absolutely must use a pick..........try learning to play with alternate picking.(Down up down up etc., instead of all down strokes. You'll find it much faster, cleaner and more accurate.Bit of free advice from a 20 year bass player. Not 20 years old, benn playing bass for 20 years

[pea0411]

Another good cover rutlegirl! 

[RockCocaCola]

Hey, great cover! And i love this bass ! Do you have the tabs ?

[sallyg270]

Well there. I was just thinking about learning this one on bass as to add it to our arsenal. Great job covering this classic. Our little band has a attempted garage cover of this, but it could be alot better. Rock on!

Thanks for posting this song. Me and my sisters just learned this song thanks to you. I think i missed one part but we tried to play it like you. but you sound way better.

Peace Joey jr

[rutlegirl]

Hi Joey! Thank you very much, it really made my day to watch your video - you guys are soooo awesome and very talented!! I wish I played as well as you all do. :D

[rutlegirl]

ohh you melt me thank you, sweetness!

you are wonderful too! big hugs Chris :)

[Sarcophangus]

Very well done! I forgot all about this tune but I think I'm going to have to learn it on my guitar because that riff rocks! hmm .. I thought I'd try it, started to get something that sounded similar, then morphed into my own riff a bit, then it turned into me figuring out Beat It - But I'm having fun and that's Priority Number One when I pick up the guitar!

[ourmaninsweden]

Hi from Sweden

Very impressed with your bass playing! Just over a year as well you are an inspiration to me as I have been trying learn off an on for two years but taking it very seriously right now.

I like the sound of your hofner bass, what made you go for that one and can it be played with fingers? I havent progressed to pick yet.

Thanks

[NineofPentacles]

Excellent bass playing. I just got an electric bass and amp- it should be fun to learn. How long have you been playing?

[rutlegirl]

Hi NineofPentacles! Thank you so much my dear! I think it's fantastic that you're going to take up bass guitar!! It's a lot of fun and easy to jump right in reading tabs.

I started playing May 07... a bit over a year.

Thanks for stopping by!

[themodette]

I love how you smile and laugh at the endm as if you can't believe you've just played it - so cute! You're a pleasure to listen to :)

[veronepp]

great!!!

[KudiIsMyBuddy]

your good!!!

is it hard to play with a pick?

[LDXaborg]

heyy good job! havent stopped by for a while so i thought i would :D

i almost bought a Hofner the other day but im still debating whether or not to sell my T-Bird and get it

[rockinelectro]

You have a natural talent for bass

[rutlegirl]

wow thank you so very much, Bill, that is so kind of you. I love bass... I'd love to play stand up bass too sometime.

I hope your these last couple days of the week are a great early start to a fantastic weekend! :D

[FIFTIESCRUISER]

[rutlegirl]

Hey Des, thank you very much! Have a great weekend!

i wish i could play bass!!

[boogieman079]

wow michelle im impressed!that sounded real good.i bet your getting better by the day!

steve.

[rutlegirl]

Hi Steve! Thank you so much... it's been a little over a year now and I have definitely improved but what is holding me back is my fingering... I just can't seem to do it with my entire hand yet. Ahh well, hopefully in time I'll get it. :)

[notdaltrey]

Awesome bass! I just started learning this song a little bit. It's a lot of fun for being so simple.

[rutlegirl]

Hi notdaltrey! That is very cool that you learned the song!

[ORBSTEWBALL]

Hello

rutlegirl...

Wow! Another oldie but goodie chestnut from you! I am blown away at your bass cover here.  You've done a brilliant job at adding that 'third voice' with your guitar work.

You've done the song justice...who would've ever imagined that one could improve upon a classic such as this...but you did!

Peace,

Stewball

[rutlegirl]

Thanks so much, Stewball! I had a lot of fun with it :)
