can you confirm where your first few notes occur during the intro please. Is it on the first beat of bars 3 and 4? or is it the first beat of bar 3, then the eighth quaver of bar 3? Timing could be a bit 'loose' in the 60's and upon repeated listening the Monkees own recordings of this song are ambiguous in this regard x

I love bass cover videos (I'm a drummer - go figure) and was thrilled to find your channel - but you've won me over for life by covering this song. Your talent and knowledge of your instrument are very respectable. No matter how dirty that sounds... : )

Awesome as always. Loved it. This era had some of the best bass playing grooves ever. Well done.
