      It can be the point if they want it to.
      Sometimes it’s good to feel the music and play it naturally. Sometimes it’s fun to challenge yourself to learn every note and detail of a song, down to the improvised fills.
      The only way you can go wrong is to not play at all. (Or play with bad technique that holds you back).

    I remember having to play this in high school jazz band and never being able to nail down 1:04, felt somewhat embarrassed as i let the brass and horns do that part for me.
    7 years later and only having come back to it a month or so ago after not having played this piece, i finally nailed down the whole song down to the random fill variations. All thanks to this video. Feels great man.

      I can’t play it on either instrument. I have both and have been playing them for years. I can’t play nearly that high on the trumpet, and I get a sore lip if I try to go anywhere above the high E. (Am I doing it wrong? Is my mouthpiece not suited for the job? It’s gotta be a problem with my technique, and definitely not an issue with my intermediate grade Jupiter horn!) and I think I actually have more chance of doing it on bass.

    dude, I had to perform this song in college at least 15 times a week for many different audiences and I have to say that it is one of my most favorite songs too play and was one of my most intimidating songs to be assigned to learned for the set book as I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do I the justice it deserves. My opinion about you as a musician has changed 100% bc this song (if you know how to listen) tells you so much about the performing bassists personality and yours is shinning bright like a diamond!!! easily my favorite video so far. Performance attitude was so much more alive than any other video you have made! love it bro, keep it up and let's phase out those damn tabs!!

    A long time ago, back in high school, I joined the stage band and I had been playing bass for only about a year and didn't read music and this was one of the songs I was supposed to learn. I couldn't touch it. I was in a rock band and playing ZZ Top bass lines and thought I was pretty good. I tried to learn it off the record since I couldn't read. Not even close. Pretty advanced level, though.This was so humbling.

    Top 5 best basslines of all time, I'm jealous how people like yourself make it look too damn easy lol. Joking aside, u are a beast of the bass dude, I've learned alot from your covers

    I couldn't tell you how long I've been practicing the bass line at 1:03.. Probably 3 hours at least, but I've got it down!! i just need to get my right hand stronger. I can only play that fast with a pick. 2:42 is the best bass in the song. I don't give a fu** about the part after the chorus. he's just following the lead. 2:42 is magic.

    Love your stuff man. Excellent. I am a relatively new bassist and I am working through various songs as a means of practice to improve my playing. I have a request for a song that you could do. Mmmm by the Crash Test Dummies. That is a great song with a really tasty bass line. Hope you can do it as I would love to learn how to play it. Thanks bro:-)
