Yes - Roundabout [Bass Cover] with Geddy Lee right hand technique 

FINALLY a cover of this with finger style, amazing stuff

Dude, you rock at bass, have a killer beard, an awesome bass, love Yes and Rush, AND you're a Trekkie?! I think we just became best friends.

M’man you completely owned that one. What a killer tone you beat out of that Ric! Love to see a great player like you leave nothing on the table and just sound so balls out.

I don't know how many times I have come back to watch this one. That little nod into the camera during the acoustic into just says "I am about to rip this up" and it makes me feel good.

This was terrific and thank you for posting. I have not had much success getting this technique under my fingers but you’ve inspired me to give it another go. I admire the effortlessness of tossing in the “flap” in moments where it’s needed and then dropping back into fingerstyle like it’s nothing. Bravo!

That tone is life itself man, and the aggressive technique makes it even better. It doesn’t get any better than this, congratulations!!

that crunch bass sound 🥰🥰

Extraordinaria interpretación ! Bravísimo!

That is the best bass cover of Roundabout I've come across on RU-vid. The others I've seen (granted, only two) were accurate, but there was something off about them. But, dude, you brought it! Thanks.

NAILED IT...

That was great!

This sounds gnarly and makes my heart vibrate with every single note. Love it

Just found your video, made my night. Joyful video! Great talent and technique.

I keep coming back here, i was alive and well even before this was written... Nate is the best i have ever seen on Bass for this song.... Love it > i come back ever so often to watch this.... from SE Texas Bear

Very well done man

That technique is perfect for Squires sound, you really nailed it! I always tried to achieve it with double thumbing, but now I have to learn this 😃

MONSTER playing and tone my friend. Damn!

That was freaking killer brother!!!!! Mad respect for playing it with your fingers!!!

Nice! Now you just have to add all the high harmonies that Squire sings while he's playing ;)

This is what we need to feel good these days! This feels so damn good!! ❤️ Love it!!

Absolutely awesome!

Sweet bass guitar

Great work...subbed!!

Fantastic

I'm not a bass player but now I want to buy a Rickenbacker so I can practice 100,000 hours and play like this guy!

Frickin Sweet!...Amazing to the ears and dude u are a blast to watch play.

You're so damned cool in this video, man. I've been two fingering it (hell of a way to put it) for over a decade. I've realized how different of a tone each finger offers. My middle one, I attack the strings from right in the middle of the tip, or the distal phalanx if I want to get technical. It provides a warmer attack, a bit more round with a bit of thump when I hit hard. My index though, I assume to compensate for the difference in length, I've naturally used the tip more; and often my finger nail would be a part of it which gave it a more pick-like attack. I didn't notice this for years. So, I started being more selective about which fingers I use in certain songs. I also starting considering using the back of my nail so I could use my index finger like a pick. Naive as I can be, I was almost shocked when I found out this wasn't a new technique I was experimenting with. Of course it's flamenco inspired, but I was happy to find out that Geddy uses this technique, since his tone is so amazing. Don't know why I shared all this, but I just started learning it and your video is inspiring me to keep moving forward on it.

Bro you are amazing! You make it look so effortless. Amazing job!

i know this joint went viral!!!!!

That's an interesting right hand technique...

3:54 oh my

Outstanding cover of a great song with an even greater bassline.

Fucking awesome bro, 👍🇨🇦🍁

HA! thats fucking aweome man!!! I have to admit... I gave in and went with the pick.

Cool as dude

3:22

Amazing technique gotdamn

Nice job. Nice, hard hitting sound. Well done.

🔥🔥🔥

Is it bad I prefer this to the original?😂

Man if I could train my right hand to do that better I'd be happy. Great playing man!

Hell Yeah!!! Rock on dude...

Killer playing and killer sound! Are you using any distortion pedal? Which Preamp are you using to get that dirty tone? Thanks

Ox reincarnated

Does Anyone play those awesome intro solo licks?

You absolutely crushed it man. Love the tone, love the punch your bass adds to an already fantastic song, and love your playing grooves. Gnarly work.

I know Nate on a personal level and he's 1000x more awesome in real life than on youtube. Genualy one of the nicest people i've ever met.

Why does every cover of this song leave out the lick at 0:16?

Don't mind me, I'm just casually spamming the replay button.

I've never really wanted a rick. Always been a Yamaha or mm guy, but you're slowly changing my mind.

He looks like he is really enjoying himself...that's all that counts...plus he plays bass really well! Also, love the Counterparts Tshirt.

Excellent tone and articulation. Perfect volume too.

This track is a monster. This bass line is a monster. I stop to listen to all covers of this beautiful behemoth. Mr Squire would be proud

You definitely rock on the bass. You are the only other person I've seen play this song without a pick. Even Chris Squire used a pick on Roundabout. You and this chic Ausha played this song without a pick. That makes a better bassist than a bass guitar player with a pick.

okay seriously did you steal geddys hand and surgically attach it? (futurama anyone? lol) Anyway, great technique, dope my guy

Great job brother!!!

Sounds like you have it figured out 👍🏼

Great job! And on a Rickenbacker😊

Loved it, Whaler Dude!

I saw the still pic with no pick and thought “let’s see how inaccurate the cover is”. Boy was I wrong! Dude, you SLAYED it, and I couldn’t help but smile and laugh the whole way through! 😂 Also, you make that Rick look small, so I’m guessing what, like 6’ 5”ish? Anyhoo, you just gained another sub! 🤘🏼

Chris Squire had so many great bass lines. well done. I've seen YES many times and you nailed it!

Dude, those downstrokes are insane! My cuticles hurt just thinking about trying to learn that technique.

You nailed it 100% and of course playing with Bill would be a highlight for any bass player..

I've seen Squire... granted, he also sings... but you are nailing it with fingers and quite honestly? It sounds better.

The intro bass part - isn't there a descending bass riff at the end of each measure of the main riff? Nobody seems to play it but I hear it clearly in the original recording. It is bass isn't it?

You really need an accessory of some kind. An unlit cigar, a smoking cigarette, something. Maybe tie beard up into ponytails, yes thats it. Nice job for your first time. Sara Lee would be proud.

Killed it dude. Great right hand technique

Hoooly shit, dude. Goosebumps. Well done, and that TONE! 'Sounds' like I'll have to get myself a Rick as well :')

Your'e like Kelso. That is awesome. That was fun. That is not an easy bassline. Keep it coming.

So cool💞

Wow! Amazing job

Holy mowly😇 great Job on the Ricki...I really love this song...youre playing🙏 is marvelloso 😇👍👍👍

Slick !! Look out Geddy !

This guy is GOOD. LOVE that Rick too!!!!

Can you give a go with Janice Joplin's A Piece Of My Heart?

This dude rules!!! Yes is one of my favorite bands of all time.

That is GOOD!!!!!!🖖🏾 No, that is FANTASTIC!🍄 Like Hank Pym on dey ash!

im actually suprised that there are no jojo memes in here XD

Perfect!!!

oh man you are awesome!

Best bass cover of this song, hands down! How long did it take you to master the Geddy Lee technique?

Perfect version.

You should be playing with Tenacious D, you have the look :D

Very good music on your Channel new subscribers" Anita &Gregg" 🎶😉

Awesome bass part no matter how its played.

Ah man that was STANKY
