After 20+ years of this song being my favorite bass line ever (yes, ever), I finally sat down the other night with my little practice amp and this track and took about an hour and a half noodling it out. Just like when I was 15 and wanted to learn something, I was happy to find it still isn't that tough when you break it down. I got it as true to the original as possible without cutting corners, improvisations or embellishment.

  • @baldbassclef

    Messed around with a fretless vid too but posted it link only. you can check it out til it gets blocked for copyright like my Burn it to the Ground vid. You can only see that one from Canada now. LOL.

  • This is a great version of this tune! I've just joined a new cover band and was surprised at how difficult this bass line is, even as a seasoned pro who plays for a living. Thanks for showing me. 

  • @denverbass79 Thanks. That's very kind. Wish I had pants on....

  • I'm a guitar player, but I follow so many users that play songs with a cool groove for bass or drums. Surely this is one of the best! Very good job, congratulations lady! ;)

  • @thrashmarco

    Thanks, but if you know any "lady" with legs that look like mine, please express my deepest condolences... ;)

see all

  • Great job dude :) Very good play :D

  • Almost perfect, man! Best so far on youtube, way to go! Thumbs up!

  • @iruyle Ahahahah I'm sorry, my english is not very good, I wrote "lady" without thinking to the real word's meaning. A girl that play Footloose using a B.C.Rich is perfect, regardless of the legs she has! However, your legs are fine . :D

  • I'm a guitar player but your video makes me wanna grab a bass guitar :D HATS OFF TO YOU!

  • Sick! Thank you for having appreciation for the original track and playing it as it was recorded. Im sure learning it was straight up WORK! Sounds great boss!
