One of the greatest bands of any era, and this is my favourite song by them from an original Magazine fan from the 1970's. Great to see a young person appreciating them.
I've been playing along with magazine since I bought my bass in 1983 - so great to see a young and talented bassist doing the same! Excellent job, now - how about having a crack at Cut Out Shapes or Talk to the Body? :)
Well done. It's great that you are aware of "old" music. Not just old, but people who could play their instruments and cared about their craft. Beautiful. Good luck in the future. I'm sure you'll have fun!
Thank you for taking me back in time in such a beautiful way. One of the great bass lines of all time. My son has a copy of Kafka's masterpiece and I played the song for him. Then I found you. Such awesome picking and playing - you really got it. I met Barry Adamson once, briefly in Melbourne, 1981 or so. I'm gonna learn this song now.
I am speechless . I have no words to say thank you! Do I see a great talent? Because I have not found a bass score for this particular group which means that you took it out with your ear and did a great job. You deserve a big thumbs up and congratulations. And I look forward to seeing other songs, I really like your choices !! I want to write more but I stop !!!!!! :) !!!
Thank you for the suggestion! this song has such a fun bassline to play, it was quite easy to transcribe by watching lots of live performances! thank you again i really appreciate it :)
@@lucyplaysbass6898 I was terrified of playing by ear and in fact I did a recording the other day where I mistakenly played a major 2nd where I should have used a minor 2nd... but I practice at it every day thanks to you mentioning playing by ear before. I do look up the chords which helps, and to be honest anything where there are 16th notes can be impossible for me. Just saying - I appreciate your videos as I can learn the pieces that I could not possibly pick up on my own at this time! :)
@@blaineca I remember the first time I tried playing by ear, it was very intimidating! I have minimal knowledge on theory which I need to work on haha but with lots of ear training I can pick up most songs very quickly. I'm glad that my videos can help you pick up songs! I may have mentioned before but if there are any songs in a similar vein to what I've been posting I'll be happy to check em out :)
@@lucyplaysbass6898 Can I offer a kind word of advice? You say you are working on your theory which is always a good thing but please don't stop playing by ear and instinct and let theory take over. There is always a place for instinct and natural ability in music and you clearly have lots of both. Try to find a balance between theory and just feeling the music.
@@lucyplaysbass6898 Sure, but I'm certainly no Barry Adamson! Here's what I think: 1. If you have the possibility, use flanger instead of chorus. And get a bit "fatter" tone 2. Try playing it with your fingers instead of a pick (I think Barry did it with his thumb, at least during some live gigs) 3. "Loosen up", I know recording cover video is stressful You might check a cover I made a long time ago - it's far from being perfect and has horrible sound quality, but it might suggest you what I mean (except point 3).
@@MrNefryl Thank you for your reply, when i learned this song i think i actually used your cover for guidance on some parts, what a coincidence! Very solid advice, I've been meaning to invest in a good flanger.
@@MrNefryl your bass cover is flawless.. I've been wanting to cover this song since I first heard it. I've not yet learned an entire song but only few riffs. Would it be a good idea learning this as a first song? I've always leaned into more punk and old hardcore but this one seems alot more difficult and catchy to learn. Idk where to start.
@@pulledtrigger hey, thanks a lot for kind mention of my cover :) but I wouldn't advise to cover it as one of your first songs. Be patient, learn some easier song, it takes some time but you'll be fine :)
Fantastic work. I am considering "You Never Knew Me". More my speed - both in performance and learning by ear LOL. I do love that tune after a few drinks though... morose I guess. :)
Thanks again Blaine :) thats another great song by them! I've got a couple more magazine songs planned, might have a go at that one too! And the bass clone is incredible, combined with my EXH soul food i get close to that classic post punk tone :)
