Look at how your right wrist is bent. The longer you play like that the more probable it is you'll get an injury.
Instead of resting your forearm on the bass, try to rest some of the weight on your thumb (pickup or E string), in order to keep lessen the tension in the wrist.
I know that now it doesn't make any difference, but as you get older playing the bass, you need to remember those, otherwise they can be quite painfull

mmm its okay but i think you should gett a beter bass =) jazz bass crp go get a metal bass mutch beter quality sugest you loook on gear 4 music owage site
indeed, its normal to use tabs at the beginning, but get use to use your ear as soon as possible, its the really way to learn. Use a slowdowner programme if the fingering its too fast and you cant hear it atm
Hey Patagonic Groove.. How long you been playing for? Did you find this bassline hard to pick up? I have been practicing Runaway by Jamiroquai and almost got it right down pat. I'd love any tips. Your style is really cool.
hey, i ve been playing for 4 years now,, this vid is almost 2 two years old.
this song was a little bit difficault to learn, i think it's better trying to learn other JQ songs wich are simpler, like cosmic girl, and try to get the groove
that's what I'm always trying to learn from jamiroquai, playing not so many notes but with a looot of groove.
check out stefanof's cover of cosmic girl live, and try to learn it, it's just awesome
haha yeh Stefanos cosmic girl is very rocking. I can play cosmic girl pretty well. It was the first song i learnt. damn its nice. Yeah..Stefano's solo is magical. I copied it to a degree and even the small bit i got, makes it sound delicious to the ears.
You have lovely finger movements. Im only competent with 2 fingers and u seem to have mastered at least 3 to get to the lower strings without compromising ur timing. I really like it.
Dude I give you mad respect for that near flawless rendition of the song. I've tried to play it myself and in the beginning, the very first part is probably one of the most difficult things I've ever encountered as a bassist. Not that I've been playing that long, but I know tough it could be so I can appreciate it all the more. Keep it up I look forward to more.
got it down... took about 3 weeks of like an hour a day, but didn't look at this video since then, guess the tab at ultimate guitar and a metronome helps!
I've been working on getting this song down for about a week now, so far, it's gonna take about another month or so to perfect. I've only been playing for about a year and a half now, but I play a ton cuz i'm still in school so i have tons of free time.
Great job on this son, one of my all time favorite Jamiroquai songs next to runaway!
jajaj che tenés razon! lo mismo pasa conmigo, desde que me enamoré d jamiroquai, quede como flechada para siempre con el bajo, solo que todavia no tengo el mio, pero lo tendré! :)
but i think this walk ups after the "mimimimimi" is a little bit to fast, thats why u get into a 1/4 brake which sound a little wrong, but anyway...VERY greate job..go on grooving!
So far, from what I'm seeing [the tab is online, but you do have to search for a little] it sounds just right. But I'm not the greatest on my bass, so there might be. Who has a better ear for Jam-Kay's basslines?
uff excelente cancion guauuuu genial tengo que aprender a tocar guitarra genial men uff genial,genial guauuuu por dios tocas esa guitarrra de puta madre offf genial me pusiste a saltar con esa cancion bye.
Muy bueno, me gustan muchos tus covers! ¿Puede ser que las notas de estribillo sean Si, Fa#, Re, Do#, SI, La, Do# Re, Mi Fa#? Perdón por la molestia!

Good job
I want to give you an important tip tho,
Look at how your right wrist is bent. The longer you play like that the more probable it is you'll get an injury.
Instead of resting your forearm on the bass, try to rest some of the weight on your thumb (pickup or E string), in order to keep lessen the tension in the wrist.

Well done, but try to keep it as tight as possible ("in the pocket").
Playing by ear is the best way to learn imho. I only use tabs as a last resort.
keep it up.
