One of the most complicated and original bass lines of the 80's, Too Shy is a Nick Beggs masterpiece. What I can't believe is that when Limahl left Kajagoogoo, Beggs actually sang and played this bassline at the same time. Incredible. By the way, how good do they sound live. Enjoy!

  • your videos are great, they've totally helped me in learning the bass. keep making them!

  • @miketechno Thats always nice to hear. All the best

  • Fucking Amazing...great job man! How many years you play?

  • About 15 years in total, slapping for about the last 2.  Cheers mate!

  • @MrDamo123 I think that's bloody amazing. Where you from? You may not think what you do is perfect and it isn't but you and zuma are the only two bassists on youtube who I know who can get that close to it. It's VERY close. You two are of the most polished ones I've seen so far. You should try "The Reflex" by Duran Duran or "Some Like It Hot" by the Power Station. Both basslines done by John Taylor, my favorite bassist of all time. Cheers mate!

  • @MrNostalgiaX Wow, thanks for your great comment. Taken a year out from playing but now getting back into it and comments like yours really help with my motivation. All the best.
