Bill is a great bass player. He never over played, it was always just right for the song. He inspired me to pick up a bass and learn it when I was a teen.
@@Michael-mn4xm Keith Richards played bass on that recording. He always used a Fender Precision Bass. Actually, he played bass on quite a few songs that I always thought were being played by Bill Wyman.
And played the bass guitar almost strait up and down lol supposedly to get the headstock to block out the stage lights so he could see all the screaming girls lol
I always wish bill’s bass lines weren’t so quiet. But the sixties were at a time where bass guitars weren’t that popular. The 70’s made up for that though. 👍
I recently heard Lennon talking in the seventies to his band on some outtakes and demos and he said something to the effect that back in his time with the Beatles you just couldn't get a decent bass sound live or sometimes even in the studio. So there's got to be some truth to that
I have watched all of the RU-vid bass covers / lessons for this song. Bob has the most accurate to the album rendition that I have seen. The original is obviously done with a pick, and on a short scale like this, as those slides are darn near impossible on a long scale bass. He has the right sound, and the right feel. I needed to learn this for our band and Bob made it too easy. Thanks Bob!
Thanks Rob. After years (actually decades) of guitar, I’ve caught the bass bug and bought a nice Yamaha. Your videos are tremendously helpful. I’ts been quite challenging to develop my ear for bass lines and especially for Bill’s work. So ... many thanks to you!
I just found your channel a week ago and Im already hypnotized by the way you play! Your videos are some of the nicest sounding and most helpful covers out there! Keep up the great work man! Thanks so much!
Your presentation is second to none! Appreciate your efforts. Very enjoyable. Didn't Bill's Vox bass get stolen while on tour? Thanks again. Great job!
@@robgray1999 It sounds great.......last year I bought a Phantom Bass from Wunjo's in London. It is a new bass constructed from parts that some guy bought from the old Eko plant in Italy. They also had some solid teardrops, but no Wyman basses. Yours looks amazing.
@@charleslink2188 Thanks, yeah my friend has one of those Frankenstein Teardrop guitars made from parts from that factory, they came up with some great stuff with the parts they found there
The great thing about sitars is, you can move the frets. Frets are some kind of rope (check it) under some tension, going around the neck. We are addicted to equal temperament, but there's so many ways for tuning. Watch a sitar gig, and you'll see and hear that during a break, the sitar can get a different tuning. Why don't you simply buy a student guitar? When you like it that much, you really should learn to play it. W h y n o t ? Okay, maybe you play 26 hours a day on your own Vox bass. Then a sitar is a bit much.
I cannot catch that part on the verses where you go back and forth between the B-F#-G. Can you please share what is the order of the notes that you're playing in that passage? (I slowed down the video to 50% and I still can't catch it! Maddening!) Thanks!
This definitely sounds true to original recording, but I saw a video of Stones performing in 2006, and there he's playing a simpler bassline, but with some nice pentatonic fills here and there. It sounds a lot different. I wonder why he changed it?
