I wrote this comment with my face.

[chappynash]

Just came across Stu's version and began looking at others. Have to say this is by far the best version I have heard. I have only been playing bass about 5 years. I would love to get the Tab and Notation for this. There are a lot of techniques in there that would be good lessons for me. Email: chaplain_nash@juno.com. Thanks...it was terrific.

[budvenu]

Amazing! Is there any way I can get the TAB for this?

[tom4526]

Just saw this. Outstanding. Even though it would certainly stretch my skill levels I'd love to get a copy of the tab and / or notation for this arrangement. Where could I find that?

[lbushkovski]

send me a message with your e-mail and I"ll attach the notation/tabs. Thanks for viewing.

[tom4526]

@lbushkovski Thanks so much for offering to send the notation/tab for Linus and Lucy. You can send it to me at : tom.mertes@gmail.com

Thanks a bunch. Maybe in a year or two I'll be able to post myself playing it on YouTube. ;0)

[budvenu]

@lbushkovski Amazing!!. I have been working my way through the first part. Would love to get the tab for the complete arrangement

budvenu@gmail.com

[Tattdgoose]

That's awsome!!

[EthanMiller90]

I am very interested in seeing the tabs/notation for this arrangement because its very good

[lbushkovski]

@EthanMiller90 Send me a message with your e-mail. It shall be done.

[YashinMaru]

hey i really like this video!!! if u wouldnt mind, could u tab this? if u dont wanna tab it, it ok with me ur choice XD

[MaybeeTappening]

hey! i sent you a message earlier today, i dunno if you got it

but i love this! and i was wondering if i could get the info on where i could find tabs/sheet music etc?

[peterGnash]

wow great!

can you please make a tutorial?!?

[lbushkovski]

Wow, that's a heavy request....

I may just have to do that, especially based on some of the great tutorials I've seen here on the tube.

Thanks for the view!

[tsup77]

Great job! Nice Carvin too =] I REALLY want an LB70p

[lbushkovski]

I'd suggest trying (if you haven't already) any type of bass with a piezo system before you buy one. Truth be told, I'm not all that fond of the piezos. My favorite pickup combination is 2 stacked humbuckers. Thick, buttery bass is delivered without a bunch of mid-range racket.

[tsup77]

Yeah I feel ya, but with enough peizo blended on this stingray Ive messed around with quite a few times just gets a certain timbre I cant achieve other basses. But when it comes down to it, I just want a damn Carvin =/

[lbushkovski]

Right on, then I totally suggest getting one as soon as you can. I'm a shameless Carvinite!  I love the playability of mine (2 fretted and one fretless) There's usually quite a selection on e-bay. Some dang nice basses. 'Course, it's always nice to have one built just right. You won't be sorry when you get one.

[Wannabass]

Awesome, I need it. Best to you and all you love!

[lbushkovski]

send me a message and I'll give you the contact info.

[Wannabass]

The way to really appreciate how difficult something is is to try it, amazing

[DanceBrianDance]

great job Mr. B!! :D

[crdepew]

Thanks for the post, this is one of the best videos I have ever seen. You beat Stu Hamm hands down.

[lbushkovski]

I always have to tip my hat to Stu, though. I heard him do it in "Quaahogs, anyone?" and it was a huge inspiration for me.

Thanks, Stu, and thank you, crdepew

[shumshum81]

so smooth! your intro is better than the version I've seen Hamm do on youtube

[lbushkovski]

Thanks for the view.  Again, I give the nod to Stu for inspiring me so many years ago.

[kelvin1jp]

great job

[Austenbass]

not an easy piece to play, nice job man. i really liked what you did from 1:20 to 1:45 or so. smooth intro as well. keep it up

[HiddenScholar]

I got to say that was really cool! I never heard it on a Bass Guitar before now. I do prefer the Piano, but this was a nice change.

[432hertz]

great version!

[snakeman6459]

hes really good hes my band teacher at pitts middle school!!!!!!!! awsome!!!!!!

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Awesome(my standard comment)

[mikeresendiz]

wow! incredible technique,you are amazing,nice bass by the way

[slackinatdabass]

awsome, man. that is totally awsome. the drummer in my band made a bet with me that i couldn't learn this, but after seeing it played, i think i'll bet against myself!!

[clicks59]

Great work. It's in the same pocket as the original.

[lowbridgenc]

Having read all the comments, it's nice to see (and hear) what talent plus hard work equals. Hearing that also puts me one step closer to ordering me a new Carvin.

[jimmyg719]

Nice Carvin and brilliant playing

[McMandinko]

Wow. I am impressed.

[YaxisX]

Very high quality playing.

[astrofunkyness]

Great work man. i love this piece.

[viz76]

Clean Job and good timing!nice tune and bass sound too

Well done Lyman:-)

VIz

[lbushkovski]

Thanks,Viz.  It's always an honor when you check out my stuff.

[rubikscube1232]

that is hot!!!

[Berry1324]

ZOMG!!!!! dat wuz sooooooo good!!!! how did you learn to play it?

[lbushkovski]

I listened to Stu Hamm's version... over and over and over and over... then I listened some more. Then I went out and bought the piano music so that I could visualize how Vince did it (I'm a visual learner.) Then, it was time to sit down. I learned each hand separately, then referred to the sheet music so I could see which notes happen together and which notes alternated. Then I got frustrated and cussed a lot. It just took a lot of focused time commitment, and a lot of patience.

[Berry1324]

wow! dat'z soooooooooo kewl!!!! can you, like, play any rock muzik, though? Linus and Lucy is kewt and all dat, but I think electric guitars should be used more for rock, you know? or jazz

[lbushkovski]

I've been playing gigs ranging from rock to jazz to country now for about 17 years. Depends on who hires me for the weekend.

[Berry1324]

oh WOW! that is amazing~~~~ you sure are talented~~~~~

[Sdrawkcab945]

I want the tab Orz...

[lbushkovski]

send me a message, and I'll give you the contact info for the tabs and notation.

[ExitChameleon]

Great playing! very good.

[pookiecatblue]

Very cool!

[lbushkovski]

Watch it there, mr, or I may just eat the other butter braid all by myself.

[DevonBushkovski]

hi. this is a cool song

[celtics951753]

thats awsome! i gotta get better at tapping and then ill try that. do u play piano too i c one in the background

[lbushkovski]

I play enough piano to be a certified total amateur. I started on it when I was 5, learned to read and all. 32 years later, I still believe learning piano was so important to becoming a musician.

[treeunit212]

i totally agree. i started on piano for about 4 months, joined the school band playing trombone, 2 years later heard toxicity, picked up a guitar and its been that ever since.

[DahMuffinz]

you're also a skinny little shit who sucks at trombone. you should have stayed in band you ass. do you have any idea how annoying wag and barbie are?

[treeunit212]

yea right im one of the best players at my new school so go fuck yourself u ostrich!

[DahMuffinz]

so am i cause noone in hell actually plays bass so suck my dongle

[treeunit212]

oh you'd like that wouldnt you

[bryan770]

awesome job! and nice bass what brand is it?

[lbushkovski]

It's a Carvin Claro Walnut with the Piezos, H50S at the neck, and an alnico pickup at the bridge.

[bryan770]

nice i got a schecter made out of 1 solid piece of mahogony

[lbushkovski]

I've had a few students with a model similar to that. They sound and feel great, no doubt about it. It's a bass I recommend to players just about any time.

[bryan770]

yea i like schecter i recomend it to a lot of people to

[aznhardboiledegg]

do you have any suggestions for learning this? i got both hand parts down, but i cant play them together successfully! any tips on practicing?

thanks and you rock

[lbushkovski]

I did it reaaaaaaallll slow.... (like.. 40 bpm on the metronome to keep myself regulated and focused) and over and over and over and over and over... and then some cussing, and then over and over and over.....

[aznhardboiledegg]

hahah alright sounds good.

thanks for your time man

[lbushkovski]

no problem.  If you're the visual-type learner, I have this thing notated and tabbed out, that way you can see the timing and alternation between hands.

[MandrewP]

Once you learn it with both hands, does learning other songs with both hands then easier? Thanks.

[lbushkovski]

Wayyyyyyy easier. It's a mind opening exercise, for sure.

[spoonfuloftactic]

Wow, very nice.

Did you have tablature you would be willing to share?

[lbushkovski]

Hey, spoon!! I don't know if I ever got back to you on the tabs. I may have still been working on them when you posted the comment. If you still want the tabs, send me a message.

[mitchskater]

very nice!!!

[chunkybreastmilk]

wow, thats really good, such an excellent sound on the bass well.

you make it sing.

[ob62]

VERY NICE Bass Work!

[bhima555]

Good job man!

[Edefinitely]

Thats brilliant, great job.

[rtsoccerplayer]

i didn't really expect much, considering u were doing it on a 4 stringed bass, u proved me wrong! that was truly amazing! lol keep it up!

[babaloui3j]

That is awesom you kick ass...true inspiration!!

[DevonBushkovski]

Awesome man thats so cool

[lbushkovski]

A pleasure to play for you, son. Thanx for checkin' out an old guy.

[ostinato1947]

A difficult piece well executed. I have actually done this on piano and it is not for amateurs! Rock on son-in-law. Luvs--

[Lynna777]

Great job!!

[mikesundt1]

nice job

[Jpb90k]

Spot on. Could you/anyone suggest any exersizes for helping to improve that kind of two hand rythmic coordination?

[lbushkovski]

Learning this song was an exercise in itself. Other than that, there are a few books from berklee press on two handed workouts. Real short exercises, and a $6 book. As far as this tune, tho... I just had to grind it out. Took a couple of months to really get the basics of it.

[jeremyserwer]

Super cool, I like your swing on it too.

[mzgerri]

You know that I think you are amazing! When are you going to post some of your original stuff -- you know, the stuff that's waiting in the wings? :-)

[CassidyIsXtreme]

awesome, great job

[Sintethyzer2]

ustedes son unos jalabolas

[ytemacct]

YES!!!!

Finally - a YouTube version of this song that respects the original arrangement by being in the correct key (Ab) and actually plays the 2nd verse!

Nice going kid! You play that bass guitar like it's a Chapman Stick! Rock on!

[foowah7]

You actually did that other section that no one ever plays! Props on that! Well played.

[hungryhungryhippo77]

WOW very good and very impressive

[DancingMutant007]

Wow, this was reaaaaally good. So far, out of all the videos of people doing this song, yours is my favourite.

[lbushkovski]

Thanks for the complement. It was quite a journey to get it this far, and a great pleasure to be able to post it.

[aihoschema]

Wow! You beat a lot of guitar players taking a shot at Lucy and Linus´, a piano piece. I love (the late great) Vince Guaraldi's work you are doing one hell of a great hommage! Thanks 4 posting!

[jjoel90]

nice carvin man!! you order it from the website?

[lbushkovski]

The 6 stg is from 1993, the 4 stg is about 4 years old. I called to order them. Someday, I'll take a trip to California to have a really special one built after I play every one on the wall of the showroom.

[jjoel90]

awesome man. i was contimplating ordering one but i wasnt to sure if i wanted to cause i had never heard one but yours sounds mighty fine.

[lbushkovski]

All of the videos I've posted are using my Carvins. Linus and Lucy and Norwegian Wood are done on my CW70P, which has the H50S humbucker and an Alnico Pickup. It took a while to get used to the brighter sound of this bass. "Red Fox" and "The Forgotten, Part I" were done with my old LB70, which came stock with 2 H50S humbuckers. It's my favorite slappin bass, it's "Darker" sounding to my ears.

[TheSixxMan]

Wow, belieave it or not, I prefer yours over Stu Hamm's.

Iain

[quaz12]

this song was inpossible for me to play (I could never get the two hands working properly

[capo420420]

very cool .. 5 stars frrom me .. the only thing i'd say is .. it would be cool if the hook was less sticatto. maybe utilize some slides and hammer / pulls rather than straight tapping. overall .. very awesome ..

[darksky7700]

I enjoyed this one more than Stu's. Very impressive!

[marlon31070]

what a music to my ear! lovely!

[PrincessPoodlePoo]

Your camera presence and the way you handle your bass is very graceful. Good work bro ;)

[johntrim040851]

I have just listen to 5 or 6 differant versions of this song done on the bass including Stuart Hamm's outstanding work and I have to say yours is the best one I've heard. I've been a fan of Vince Guaraldi's work for years and this is my favorite song by him. Keep up the good work.

[kojiaque]

nice and smooth rythym brother!!

[tubapalooza]

Nice recreation of the Hamm arrangement-- and on top, you managed to find a tone that sounded great for both the bottom end and the higher notes. What gauge strings? Great job.

[lbushkovski]

The Strings are regular gauge.

[flashcat]

Very nice!

[offaloffice]

Great job, man! Very enjoyable.

[RinkunChan]

boring

[Crow2366]

Brilliant!  - Crow

[RainyDayRadio]

Absolutely delicious arrangement. I loved your skill and overall dynamics. You sir, are born to play music.

[SimonDraw]

Nice work. I love it.

[viz76]

well done man,well done!

[RockGuitarist7]

Well Done! I Like this better than Stu's!

[jmsmikey]

Perfect! I was most impressed by the even quality of your dynamics and volume & your Carvin sounds fantastic! I would love to hear you play this with a band or even a drum machine.

[lbushkovski]

I used to do this with a jazz group. My friend Mike would lay in the nicest "George Benson" style guitar line, it was really tasty. When I recorded it, I actually had a utility drum loop in the headphones, just to keep myself true.

[cmarlow330]

OO i like your Rendition... nice and JAZZY version of Linus and Lucy ^_^

[Tinkincolo24]

Good Job!!!!!Just as awesome as in person...its me tink obviously.lol.. I like it better in person cause it was awesome seeing ur group preform.

[lbushkovski]

Thanx, Tink. I Cant wait till I can start playing this stuff again.

[subersibo]

which pu on the carvin are you using?are you using an amp?great tone!

[lbushkovski]

I'm using an even mix of the neck (H50-N Stacked Humbucker) and bridge (Alnico Humbucker) pickups. This model Carvin does have Piezo's in the bridge, but I recorded don't really care for how they sound. The Audio was recorded simultaneously with the video into my Roland 1880. I used a compressor insert and added RSS chorus and a touch of "Room Plate" reverb.

[lbushkovski]

Other than that, the tone is set flat. I imported the audio track when I edited the video so that I wouldn't get that "video camera microphone" tone.

[chew150]

bravo mr b its nick

[bassjack99]

Very well done. Bass is nice and shiney too.

[myung89]

perfect
