    This woman has all my admiration, I knew that while learning to play at this level, she also found the time to graduate brilliantly in medicine. Hats off to her !

    Next to the fact that you’re an amazingly talented bass-player, what I love most about your video’s, is to see how much fun you have playing and how you really feel the music. đŸ‘đŸŒ

    excellent effort. i remember when this song was new...yes i'm that old..and i was a young bass player. to this day i say this was the hardest song for me to learn to play. that staccato style would make my forearm cramp up. so bravo to you.

    This type of part only works if it is super, super-tight, and this is how it should be done. It has to pop and, despite the hard-core right hand workout, you can't ever push it or fall behind or it loses the funk. She keep it right on the money and it feels great.

    • @betterwithrum
      @betterwithrum Pƙed 3 lety

      bang on, that's what makes this song so hard for the bass player. It's a work out to keep timing and that tight note progression. I still haven't mastered this song.

      @@nickharris9761 A world class guitar player whose never played bass before wouldn't be able to play with this amount of feel, getting the nuances of left hand muting in this song aswell as the difficult string crossing in the right hand. After a few weeks they might be able to technically play it, but it would sound crap, like a guitarist trying to play bass.
