April Joy bass cover + solo (one arm)

Uploaded by onearmedbandit86 on Aug 19, 2010
Me covering Pat Metheny's April Joy, a really pleasant jazz/rock fusion. This isn't the entire song, merely the first section, but I think this is a good length for a youtube vid.
The shorts are for Charlotte. I know she likes them. The shirt is too big for me and makes me look a wee bit overweight, but I'm not I promise. Man, listen to me babble....
Anyway I hope you like it! Also near the end I do a little harmony which I multi-tracked, so you can't see me play the harmony part in the video. Thought I should mention it here before someone points it out and accuses me of cheating!

Hey Mike! great job again, even with three arms I couldn't do that!

inspirational! and now i can learn the bass part a lot easier! in the future when we have quantum computers, one will be able to yank the solos out of a recording completely! i'd love to share this with some people i personally know whom feel sorry for themselves - obviously you don't ! thanks!

Great! You know Victor Wooten, they say he has eight arms. But you've only got one! I'm a new fan of you! Please check out my videos :$ Bye!

@Azergoth Hey! Sorry for taking over a month to reply! Actually I don't have anything written down, but if it will help, you can find the chords online or in a jazz Real Book. That helped me figure it out!
