Bass_man219 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Has anyone tried this one? If so, how hard is it to learn? Quote
paul_5 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Doesn't sound too bad - get a bit of Bach under your fingers and you're sorted. Actually, even without the Bach this ain't that difficult. Great music though. Quote
chrismuzz Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Most of it is fairly straight forward technically if you can remember all of it There are a few fast repeating patterns that are really tricky for me personally though! There's a guy on youtube who plays it an amazing cover of it, if it helps to see it actually played! If not it's still a joy to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieRikR39FJA Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 It's not that hard altogether. I teach it as a party piece post grade 6. The hardest part is tracking down an old Morley wah to make it sound 'right' through an amp ( although it sounds great clean too!) Quote
LiamPodmore Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I started learning it after playing for about 6 months. Its a good song to play, although can be tricky in parts (Or atleast it seemed it then). Liam Quote
MarkG3 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I used to play this a fair bit and is nice to play, my only problem was remembering it all as I would be ok until roughly just after the drums come in. Quote
Gareth Hughes Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 It's not that tough and it's a great piece to get your fingers stretched. Haven't played it in years - mmmmm, nostalgia......... Quote
bengreen49 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 That guy has done a great cover. Amazing. Quote
Muzz Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Yeah, it was pretty much a staple back in the day. Listening to it again in the cold light of a YouTube vid (and the guy does a great job of recreating it), it's surprisingly rubbish. Quote

[/quote] Same here. I still play the part before the drums to check out Wahs and distortion pedals... Quote

4 candles Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 what an earth is this??? a wall of sound? a load of rabble? Quote
chaypup Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I watched the video above and thought 'I don't think this is much cop' but, wanting to be fair I popped over to youtube to check out the full song with the rest of the instruments to see if I could appreciate it a bit more..... Just a bass piece????? Really??? Quote

Bass_man219 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 I've got the first 40 or so seconds figured out now to try the rest of it Quote
