OK...I know what you are thinking. What the heck? Well, this is a tune I bought when I was in grade school on 45 (does anyone remember what a 45 is?), and years later, I rediscovered it as a bass player. It really doesn't have a bad bass line at all, and there is some room for embellishment. So here you have it....Major Tom....a MAJORLY cheezy excercise in 1980ism. Forgive a flubbed note here 'n there.

  • please please tell me that you have the tabs for this.

  • :(

    Now you make me wish I did.

  • You are so hot...Dayem.

  • Out of 2,700 subscribers and over 1,000,000 views....you are the ONLY person who has ever said that. You must be referring to my playing style....only my wife thinks I'm "hot" in the classic sense.

  • dude r u actually trying at all?????

  • Oh God yes....playing this tune took a bit of concentration. If I recall correctly (because I recorded this a year and a half ago), I was very focused on hitting the right string with my thumb at the right time. I had just bought the bass, so I still was not used to its feel.
