A good way for beginners to exercise. Playing the same measure for seven minutes takes practice.
@Yippee Skippy curious info, thanks
Doesn’t look impossible, Ray Manzarek.
I came to see from the same video.
Dont think their bass player played it the same way tho
Was wondering the same thing, wondering why it was so difficult on the bass.
Yes it looks "impossible" to have it in the same quality. You can hear many "tecs" between the notes and sometimes he missed some notes on time. Although he made a good job, it still doesn't sound as when you do it on the keyboard where the notes can be played fast.
@@sotis1756 they didnt have a bass player
Great bass line from a band that never had a real full time bass player.
I absolutely love this song. That warm bass has sent me immediately into a zone of mystery and peace. Thankyou.
You were probly baked as fuck too lmao
Nice. I never heard the actual notes of the bass line to this song until fairly recently I got a fantastic stereo system. I went "wow" , listen to that bass line
!
That's because The Doors don't have any bass player at all.
@@lilielilili Jerry Scheff played bass on the session. The Doors used session players to play bass on recordings but Ray figured out the lines for them.
sound very clearly and clean. muy bueno, gracias
Muchas gracias a mi amigo !!!
Geniuses at work, one of the greatest tunes ever recorded.
I agree, Joe. Such a great song 😋
Nice work Harry - very cool song. To me, these classics never get old. Thanks for sharing!!
SWEET! So glad I found your video because I was figuring out the part wrong, AND it would be a great practice workout! You are amazing.
Nice job. I'm getting ready to tackle this in a 3 piece (guitar, bass and drums). The bass is so vital to the mood. And its a bit tricky to stay that tight in a repetitive groove.
Beautiful bass! Such a peaceful bass line but overall a great exercise for playing open string notes:) Might seem super easy but it takes practice muting strings to do it "cleanly".
Sure you could play it without the open strings but its good for all bass players to develop that particular skill.
Took me about 10 minutes to get the Rhythm down with the correct fretting great song Thank you for the tabs
Awesome video, great playing! Jerry Scheff is criminally underrated.
that slipper in the background is hypnotic. good job btw
I love this song, you did amazing cover! Thanks for tabs
Great job! I love your play a long videos so much, they make learning these songs so easy! Subbed 👌🙌
Thank you so much Micaela! Welcome on my channel :-) I am glad you like my content.
Awesome... this bass on this song is on my next to learn list...
Hey Harry, great job bud. 😊😊😊👌✋👍🙌 I really enjoy listening and watching this.
Great work man, I'm impressed!
Thanks for the tabs, it is a great song to zen out playing the bass..
Great job, thank you for making this video!
I could play along. It was fun. Great video.
Excelente, aguante The doors !!
Saludos desde Argentina
Your stuff is the best! I look forward to your releases each week. I was away from my bass for 22 years and am just getting back into it. I was always a tab man, and your stuff is really getting me playing again!
Thank you so much for your nice comment, Van! I am so glad you found it helpful and like my content :). I am also a tab man. And I was pretty dissapointed with bass tabs quality - that is the reason I created this channel :-).
@@HarryMusicStuff and a very good channel it is
SOUNDS REAL GOOD ,
THANKS FOR SHARING
love the song... love how you play
Now THAT was good! Spot ON!!!
Thanks, great demonstration
Awesome video format/structure. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment and support Abaramotorai! :-)
Totally spellbound !!
Dude! Well done! I personally like closing the A note in the bassline on the 5th fret, but thats a preference thing.
Thanks a ton!
Awesome bass line! Awesome song! :)
Check out the isolated bass track from the original recording: czcams.com/video/Y1tQDs-F17w/video.html
Thanks Harry, ill slow it down even more and eventually get it. Thanks again.
First off, well done!!!!! If this does not send you into a comfortable spot, there is something wrong with you!!!
Bel lavoro!!! Grazie 😎
Very nice thank you !!
Excellent job.
Super 😎... Thanks for the video!
fantastic thanks man!
Spot on man !
Thank you guy!
Thanks I really love the song! fantastic job too:-)
Hello again, Clarke! :-) It's my first video ever. I am glad you like it. It was a nightmare to play - so hard to stay focused for so long :-D.
Sometimes simple is so powerful. Great job laying down that groove. It gets mind numbing LOL......
Aí sim, Felipe Luís!
Great bass line, thanks for the tabs & notation, very helpful for a beginning bass player!
I’m a beginner bass player also. Working on day tripper with a hofner ignition left handed violin bass. Have a 70’s left hand jazz bass also for this my next song. By the way…. I’m 75 years old. Not too bad huh?
@@barrysmith8193 Awesome, enjoy!
@@barrysmith8193 Also, I'm in my 60's, we older folks rock, too :)
@@barrysmith8193 Awesome!! btw, I'm in my 60's, we older folks still rock!
Beautiful bass man thanks to you I can cover this song on my channel Thank you!
Thank you brother!
My pleasure Douglas! :-) Thanks for your comment.
Great job Harry, Jerry Scheff of Elvis fame played the Bass on every track on LA woman, so next time someone tells you to do some research on what instrument it is, tell them to do some research there self 🙄... keep up the good work buddy. ✌🏻😎👌🏻
Thanks for the video bruh, I was able to make a cover of Riders on the Storm cause of it.
Groovy!
Arrangement question : Why "040" ?
Wouldn't "545" have been easier to play (no empty string to mute) ?
Good job in any case !
good question... now you mention that, its way comfortable
"545" also sounds way better on a bassguitar I think, but great video anyway!
Have to agree I tried 545 and prefer it much better too
i played "545" too as is started but i think there are two reasons for playing the open string which is why i mostly play the open string today
1.) if you're a beginner you'll get better at muting;)
2.) i think the open string sounds better in this case in my opinion, the original isn't played on bass guitar but on kind of a "keyboard" and i personally think the open a sounds a bit more similar. But that doesn't make that much of a difference, bnoth ways are entirely fine if you'd ask me;)
I personally finger it both ways, but I prefer it fingered 040, as you stay in the same position almost all along (and during the 48 measures of the keyboard solo), it's quite comfortable keeping the cluster of frets as small as possible, specially when you play it during the 3rd or 4th set of a gig ... :)
Buenísimo gracias por colaborar
what a great cover young man you played this as tight as the drummer . my i ask is their a certain softwear to get the notation and tabs up on my pc screen like what you are using as i am not very pc wise LOL thanks for the video its a great take to inspire people into playing bass . regards mark
Mó brasa esse baixão eim cara!
Cool stuff man
Thanks man! Much appreciated! :-)
Very nice.
Nice. Well done.
Thank you Psuro!! :)
Trying to play this on an electric guitar and it actually works. Good job man :)
Haha that must be interesting! Thank you Kanha!
Merci pour votre partage. Exécution remarquable 😊
Wonderful 😊
Sympa!! Merci ! ✌!
Real professional looks like
Nice cover
goo one..THNX!
badass
Actually it was the one and only Jerry Scheff who played the Bass on the record. Not Ray Mazarek on the Fender Rhodes Piano Bass, as many think.
Nice job - dekuji priteli!
Thank you, Russel! :-) That is a first czech comment I got :-D! Bylo mi potěšením.
Brilliant
Thank you so much Ben!
Awesome! Perfect! Thank you!
Do you ever "rock out"? Can you play it while you're dancing?
niceee!
nice work :)
Thank you Guilherme! :)
That bass sounds good. How do you like it? A local shop sells them. I'm itching for a jazz, probably looking at another Mexican fender to compliment my P, but I'm curious about trying different brands.
Great cover, its a lot more difficult than it seems, I can never get through it without making a mistake.
Its the speed and open string parts i think throws us off on these kinds of songs.
@@brandonh5201 Facts
hey, i have the same bass. Always wondered what these metal things on it are there for, do you know?
Well done. What kind of software is a band stop filter?
Thanks for your comment Rick! :-) Well it is just a fancy term for and EQ. I use it to attenuate some frequencies. I Usually use it pretty drastically between 120 Hz and 300 Hz (where the fundamental of bass guitar is). It is true that you lose some kick presence and the lower midrange of guitars and vocals but I think it is more important to hear the bass guitar clearly. You can download Audacity (free sw) and experiment with that kind of stuff.
Ray Manzarek said the bassist had to do crazy contortions on the wrist to make the Em/Am transition. Why does it seem easy here?
c'était trop cool ! kiss kiss
nice connection between the triads of Em and A.
Look up The Butts Band it was what Robbie and John were part of after the doors. Great music there as well.
Thanks!
What brand bass guitar?
Really cool
If that's really you Ray Manzeric really great over the top music you have written. Brovo my friend
sounds pretty cool when you palm mute it
Does anyone have tips on not feeling so stiff when you play. Or is that something that just gets better with time?
Im assuming you play sitting down? Try playing with out a strap and try to stretch before playing and take breaks if you start to feel heavy/tired. It might be that your bass is a bit too heave for you? Good luck and practice practice practice 🙂🙂
It’s a shame The Doors never had an official bass player, well at least Ray played the bass on the Fender Rhodes. 😀👍
Jerry Scheff. He played bass on LA Woman. I think it's the only time they employed a bass player. The tracks he played on, love her madly, riders, la woman, he truly did a knock down job!
@@johnmitchell6985 Oh yeah, I know about him playing on the tracks and yes he did a great job on them tracks!! 😄👍
Can you please do Agitations Tropicales by L’imperatrice please!
Jonah I am afraid I can't. That funky bass line is incredibly technical - beyond my current capabilities.
My fingers are killing me but I’m still learning,you seem to make it look effortless thank you
A seguir practicando!
try LA woman. fingers hurt now huh!
I prefer to play the fifth fret of the first string rather than the open A, I have more control
Baixo muito monótono rsrs muito mais monótono do que "Living on a prayer", mas você tocou muito bem a música. Parabéns!
Tenta tocar soprano(versao pra guitarra), nao é indicado, mas é divertido.
Hey would IT be very difficult to Play all Long as a total beginner?
I got a Bass guitar For Christmas and wanted to Play a Long some cool songs
I am glad you got the best present ever! :-) Do you mean play along? That is the best way to learn how to play! I'm gonna release one very easy song that you can play right away even as a beginer.
@@HarryMusicStuff yeah i mean play along sorry.
Thank you so much! Greetings from germany :)
Greating from Czech Republic dear neighbor! Check out my new video, very easy, great for beginers :-). czcams.com/video/WZZGDr1Ip9U/video.html
Hey Harry it’s Joe from Australia hey I was wondering if you could do a cover on the Beach Boys surfing in the USA I’ve been all over the Internet and I want done a proper cover thanks cheers
Why 2 deslike? Good job man
Thank you Danilo! :)
Those are two keyboard players who disliked
Thank you for the line ! ( Tablanote=name of the sound in front of fret number ) You start E B2 G3 B2 E A C#4 A........and so it goes. Friendly from Paris EmaB
Very repetitive but one of the greatest bass lines. Well done!
Hello! Very Nice! I Not Know Read and I Hate It :D But The Notes Of Song I like Play It. Thank You!
I’m gonna break my fingers trying to play that lol. I’m going to try the simplified version. Great playing btw.
This is the simplified version haha
When Ray shows their bass player this bass line on the keyboard, the guy says it's extremely difficult to play. Do you know what that bass player was thinking?
Plis... creation´s finest mothers cake...
You got to have a lot of Stamina playing this one.
Thanks my friend...people do not bealive play this "ostinato" its only whit love manner.
Good track to learn for your first time.
