    I know that Les has 29 frets on the main CT bass he uses, that's the big factor that allows him to play this song so easily, even with his large hands

    Dude! This is so great. Love it. I feel motivated to give this song a shot on my Fender.❤️

    Sir, this is a great video and I thank you. Very helpful, and if not dead on damn close.
    And it's nice to see other people using notes.

    Only because of this video I borrowed a bass guitar (electroacoustic one) and finally I can play this amazing song. It even wasn't as hard as I thought it will be (but I am a guitarist so it's maybe because I can already play). Thanks man!

    Thanks bro...never would have thought of that. Bought this rig off a friend, I bet the strings need to get changed (00-01 Warwick, probably still has the strings purchased back then).

    very nice man it was very helpful, i found it easier on the intro to just change positions to tenth fret on the A string an d pinky in the same spot, instead of the fat reach to the fifth fret on the D

    Good shit man, I play the beginning bit a little differently, i keep my index and pinky in the same place and do the hammer ons with my middle finger. Just the way I learned to play it I guess.

    Well, AFTER this video I started messing with new and lighter string gauge combinations. I always have one set of strings soaking in "denatured alcohol"(cleans strings) and the other on the guitar, so when one dies out or starts to lose it's brightness, I switch it out and let the other soak so I never have to play with dull strings! And in this video I am running through my BP80 pedal on a setting which has a bit of overdrive on it, creating that kindof crunchy sound. Whew!, advice...

  • @bordn21

    Great tutorial, I absolutely love this song!!! Question-your sound seams to have a real cool twang to it, is this due to your guitar, strings, both? I am learning with a older Warwick 5-string and can't seem to match. Any thoughts?

  • @slipknot95maggot
    @slipknot95maggot Před 9 lety +4

    I think for the E string slaps I'm seeing him hit Ab-A#-A-A# instead of Ab-A#-Ab-A#. Everything else seems right, except for him occasionally hitting the Db-Gb-Db up an octave live. I could totally be wrong my ears still behind my fingers but I'm seeing that index finger flop around a lil more and when he sings di-di-digawhateveretc (2;58 or so) the di-di is on those notes and he goes up for the second one so I feel like it's Ab-A#-A-A#

    • @Zorrocovers
      @Zorrocovers Před rokem

      I left the same comment, I said G# but it’s the same asAb it’s just an enharmonic so he doesn’t get confused thinking we are saying different things when we are actually saying the same notes but differently

    You don't have it quite right. It's not two "Gb-Ab" hammer-ons in a row, it's a "Gb-Ab" followed by a "G-A" -- in other words, it climbs up a half-step for the second hammer-on.

    • @sketchesforyou8020
      @sketchesforyou8020 Před 3 lety

      It’s actually “Ab-A” followed by “Ab-Bb”, or “4th fret-5th fret” followed by “4th fret-6th fret”.
