Taxman (Bass Cover) - The Beatles

My first video.

I'm actually a guitarist and i've been playing for 6 years...but i just recently bought an Epiphone Viola Bass (great bass by the way). and i accidently figured out this song on the bass. So i decided to put it on YouTube.

I know that i am missing a few changes, but this video is mainly to just try out my bass and the main riff of the song. so bear with me that i am missing a few changes within the song.

So yeah. i am NOT a bassist i am a guitarist. this was just for fun.

Thanks!

I rewinded your video a couple of times to learn the

song -_-

.........

Man so I just bought one of these and I can't seem

to get it tuned.

The tuning is very random and I've been messing around

with it for about a week now without advancing haha

Did you have any problems with yours??

Any recommendations lol?

@ramirezchad i actually don't own this bass anymore. i sold it and bought a real hofner. i never had those issues. you should take the bass in for repair because that's very odd

Hey, I have been taking guitar lessons from my dad for a few years. I also take piano lessons, which are very expensive, So i was wondering, once you are pretty good at the guitar, is the bass easy pick up on your own?

[MattTC1028]

@itsbridgetlogann yeah its pretty much the same thing, but the feel is different. you can pick it up very easily

[Warshadow4]

[MattTC1028]

@Warshadow4 no right now, im not.

[KenleyStubrick]

I think for Sting was taxman great source of inspiration...for example Driven to tears has roots in this music, i think.
