I was in a garage band that covered this song back in the 70’s. I’ve just turned 60 and it still sounds good. Go the Quo !

[@JamesMaxted]

QUO - O - O -O - O!!

[@bethlehemeisenhour8352]

63 this year, was in a band as well, played some Quo too, small world.

[@jimbanda]

Great, it's truly the track to showcase the bass player. First time I heard it live was 1984 but it's even more powerful in this set.

[@atomkraft69]

At last someone who plays it exactly like the original one... well done! 👍👍

[@JamesMaxted]

Cheers :)

Great cover Sir!

[@JamesMaxted]

Thank you kindly!

Very, very nice! Do you have a new Bassguitar? Looks good! I'm a Quo-Fan for over 40 Years and the Bassguitar always was my favourite instrument! I just can't play it! ^^

[@JamesMaxted]

Had it a while now but it's great! I learned to play, playing along to Quo records. They're awesome! Keep at it, you'll get there :)

Quality 👌

[@JamesMaxted]

Thanks!

[@C64Queeg500]

Sorry for the massively overdue question but is that a short scale P bass?

[@JamesMaxted]

Just a poor camera angle. Long scale :)

[@Grooveman30]

Nice Video man. Thx.

[@JamesMaxted]

Cheers :)

[@StatusQuonald]

Great stuff man!

Awesome! Do you know Pictures of Matchstick Men by Status Quo? It’s also a great song .

[@JamesMaxted]

I know it well! Great song

[@Mark_T]

Really cool bass part to this old track too.

[@markohelenius6978]

Nice

[@thewomble1509]

Nice! What was the weird skeleton thing though?

[@JamesMaxted]

Gets a bit boring making very similar videos. Sometimes it's nice to know if people watch to the end :)

[@thewomble1509]

@@JamesMaxted Mm, good idea!

[@stuartanguish5111]

I need to nail that fast bit , my hands ain’t that quick

[@JamesMaxted]

Use the speed setting in the corner of youtube videos. It's helped me a lot when I either can't hear something or it's too fast for me to practice to. Good luck! Cheers

[@joannetelling]

You should feed that bird more.

[@JamesMaxted]

Keeps slipping my mind!

[@bethlehemeisenhour8352]

Playing with fingers though, can't hold a pick to save my life :P

[@JamesMaxted]

You should see me holding a knife and fork :)

[@swc43]

Sorry. But if you was a Quo fan. You would know, that Alan Lancaster played the verses on the A string. Not the E string!

[@JamesMaxted]

Good info!

[@spence_the_buffet_slayer]

Where’s the law that says a cover has to be the same as the original? Rhino probably even plays it different.

[@johncourt6483]

@@spence_the_buffet_slayer He did.
