Which Amp Are You Using?

[wiggy825]

Fantastic. Well done! Are you able to send or post a tab for this?

[infusion26]

@wiggy825 I am really glad that people appreciate this video but I have to remind you that I do not have tabs !

[MrAlembicMan]

I have really enjoyed this video and some of your others, and let me give a few pointers for those trying to learn from the video:

1) Play along as best you can at first 2) Turn your amp off and just watch and play along

3)Go back and stop and pause, etc; until you think you have it figured out

4)Keep watching or listening without your amp on, you have to have what this guy is playing in your head to be able to play it. Remember you cannot play this unless you have every note memorized! MAM

[RiverRaidBanger]

Come on Geezer Butler! show your face in the next video!

[MyllekeBas]

Just amazin'!!!! And you play it just like it's nothin'... It really is great, and after some practice (I mean a lot of...), I finaly can play this lovely song too ;-)

[cgarbiano]

Never realized what a badass bassline this song had !

[infusion26]

@cgarbiano This era had some of the best bass playing grooves ever.

[nba2054]

Great song Great bass player

[infusion26]

@nba2054 Thanks !! Tthier music had some good riffs

[Tysto]

I always thought this song need more bass. It's great! Thanks!

[6400az]

Man, this time here you made that bass talk.!!

Maybe it's not your type of music. I mentioned the latinish sound before, but

if you get a chance, will you take a listen to " Los Van Van: Sandungera". The leader and arranger of the group is the bass player. I'm sure you'll enjoy his playing..

[infusion26]

@6400az Thanks 6400az I like Salsa music alot, like the song "Sandungera"

[6400az]

@infusion26

Alright man, you know about Juan Formel, the bass player in that tune.

[patoloco40]

I ENJOYED VERY MUCH YOUR WORK ! CONGRATULATIONS ! ALEX CLAY (MUSICIAN) BRAZIL

[infusion26]

@patoloco40 THANK YOU !!!!!!!!

[Kroeyers]

We play every thursday and from this one till next I gotta learn this song plus Footloose and two more ...... my band is killing me

[tehwakokiid]

i heard this song in austin powers and i love it now xD great song though and good cover :D

[FL50DRUMR]

Another great cover - I remember watching the Monkees on TV when I was young. I am lucky to be a child of the late 50's - so I got to listen to the Monkees, Beatles then all of the great rock bands of the late 60's, 70's and 80's. What a great period of music. You are certainly one of the best Bass Players on Youtube. Keep Rockin, Ed \m/

[marjimjohn]

This is bad-ass

[bass6300]

Nice playing... Great 1960s vibe!

[johnmillercpainc]

Nice base cover!

[SweetBabyJames2009]

I need to learn this song, so thanks, I doubt I could have gotten far with tabs!

[Ericclapton24000]

Could you please send me the tab to this! =D

[Kaiser325]

Great playing!

Can you get me tabs or was this by hear?

[infusion26]

@Kaiser325 Sorry no tabs I'm a play-by-ear guitar guy.

[MorTOOLBass]

Hey friend, this is awesome. I was playing this for years thinking I had cracked it but this playalong just takes the cake. Its my mission to learn it this way by the end of weekend. Half way there :) Any tips for the last part where it stays on G?

[infusion26]

@MorTOOLBass This song has a fade out so you can make something of yourself.

Good luck and greetings

[Ionizap]

You are using Elixir bass strings. Do you think strings really make the difference or it's just you're a good bass player?

[pnoynoir]

Nice! Learned by ear or from a chart?

[joaolopes53]

Good job man! Sofisticated bass

[pacoxido]

Buen trabajo amigo. Soy aficionado al bajo y te uso de ejemplo. Sigue así!!!

[Corrol132]

you`re great!

How this bass its called?

[infusion26]

@Corrol132 Thanks !! This is a Lakland 44-02 Bass

[jdrzx2]

Great work! It is hard to hear your notes sometimes though.

[IndyR0ck]

great!

[ianwlad]

great sound

[Keijz74]

Do you always use this bass guitar? Sounds and looks nice. Good playing and I like your choice of songs

[infusion26]

Sometimes I use my Yamaha BB2000 bass.

[CluvVenny]

As for me being a Beatles Fan I own a Hofner Icon Series Bass violin guitar and quite happy with it. My next purchase hopefully will be a Rickenbacker 4001C64_Chris

[78720]

awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Littleguys1315]

Great job! Great song, amazing playing! You makeit look so easy! 5*****

[cyberdems]

awesome

[dimoschka]

omg this is great!!!

[b33rfx]

love the tone. what strings are you using?

[infusion26]

I use Elixir bass strings. Those strings deliver a full range of bass tones, from fat, round lows to punchy mids and sweet top-end detail.

[Ionizap]

@infusion26 which gauge?

[infusion26]

@Ionizap Elixir bass strings gauges: 45-65-85-105

[SMA380]

[infusion26]

Thanks a lot !! :-)
