[blondes4mee]

Thank you for posting this.

I'm trying to get back my chops with the bass now :-D

[BBEEAANN1]

the first verse is incorrect. you have the opening right but, the second part of it does not repeat. It should be E string-5 two times, A string-4 to 7 D-string 5 to 4 A- string for the first half of the riff. second part is A string 7 to E-string 5 2 times to A- 4 to 7 to D- 5 to 4 to A- to 7 to 5. That is the correct way to play the first riff. your positioning is right but, you are not playing it correctly. Play along with the song and you will hear the notes you are missing.

[goodrob13]

@BBEEAANN1 I'm not missing any notes. I play the bass part correctly. Thanks for watching!

[BBEEAANN1]

@goodrob13 you are completely missing notes. I play this song all the time rob and you are not playing the verse correctly. As I said listen back to it and you will see. I will make a video response if neeed be to show you where you are messing up.

[goodrob13]

@BBEEAANN1 Yes, please post a video response. I'm curious to see what notes I'm missing. Thanks!

[gigisdad]

@BBEEAANN1 He's not missing notes that I can hear...he's just not doing that little pull off that Paul does. The part Rob is playing starting at about 9:00, the last 5 notes he's playing straight-forward but in the song, Paul does a pull off - is that what you're referring to? If not, I don't know what notes are being missed either.

[BBEEAANN1]

@gigisdad he is missing notes and I am not the only one to have stated this to him. Even if you get the beatles white book which has most of the tab in there you will see it is correct and he is not playing the song correcty. I have stated what notes he is missing and would have posted a video response but, cannot locate my camera. Trust me he is playing the song incorrectly. Get the white book of the beatles recordings and you will have the song correctly.

[goodrob13]

@BBEEAANN1 I just watched a few other videos of people playing the bass part to "Birthday" and they played the same notes I did. Can you find a video on YouTube that features the notes you claim I'm missing? Thanks!

[goodrob13]

@gigisdad Thanks! I think someone might need to get his hearing checked.

[MrIpenguin12]

That's pretty good, but after each riff from the bass part there is a little part which you missed ;)

Don't worry though, it's really quiet.

[twinkieramirez]

Hey, could you do a lesson on Joy Division's Digital? thanks.

[batmancrap123]

[mlg0phear0itzelf]
