Balcro Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hi TJAS92, Fortunately help is at hand - but you'll have to adapt as best you can. From what I can tell, his technique was all his own, so that makes simple copying difficult. Try the link and enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CP3Qzb9nf0 The best of luck, Balcro.

leftyhook Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Unless I was in a Who tribute, I wouldn't bother trying to nail his [i]very[/i] unique technique. I used to do that song, can't recall any particularly trick bits? Unless I was just disinterested,....yeah that was it....clatterbucket Entwhistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Not as difficult as it first appears! [color=#222222]As mentioned above, the Ox uses some pretty unusual techniques - try listening to the Van Halen version for a more straightforward interpretation of Entwistle's original bass part[/color] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x122AkW4CyI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x122AkW4CyI[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
