This bass line "Is this song" it is really catchy and pulses through, It is a bass line that really shows the importance of timing and driving the band along with the drummer....IMO. Never really stopped to listen to it...used to play it all the time but now my kids watch grease every day and I love the music. OMG
Hey man, you play this bassline better than anyone else on youtube - and there's quite a few version on here! Incredible, absoutely sensational playing. You should be in a band, if you're not already!!!
Hey man, you play this bassline better than anyone of youtube. It's absolutely awesome, incredible playing. You should play professionally, if you don't already!
hey man, you rock, i had never listened to the bass in this song before, and it is fantastic, i mean, you play it tremendously, did you got it by yourself, yove got a lot of talent
Great song and playing man!!! I learned how to play from these songs and sha na na and various others. It looks like a vintage precision you are playing; what year is it just out of curiosity. It sounds like the real deal to me!
Thanks so much for this excellent instructional video. Always wanted to learn the song. The tabs on the net are terrible and I didn't have enough drive or desire to figure it out on my own. Great job, thanks!
Apparently, David Hungate from Toto, and also famed as part of Boz Scaggs backing band on "Silk degrees", played bass on the original track. You sound every bit as good as Dave the master craftsman!
Congratulations ! Seeing your video ultimately made me settle my "to buy" list upon a '50s reisuue P-Bass. 5/5 for the playing and the totally ball-blowing tone
