Original bassist: Peter Gifford. This was right as he was exiting the band. Bones Hillman, who had the longest tenure with the band, and died in 2020, is the one in any live performance that you'll see. Gifford left the band before the album (Diesel and Dust) was even released. Since Bones was with the band the since the album's release, I'll take his positioning and playing as true.

Another song that I've known long enough where I don't remember my introduction to it. This one I'd been getting requested quite a bit over on Twitch, so I figured that I'd do it here for people to watch when I'm not live over there. It's not the most difficult song, but it is really catchy

2:04 - the bassist is using a pick

Bass is loud, so you hear, the main riff: |0-0-6-7-0-0-5-7|0-0-4-5-0-0-3-2|
1:19 - 3 on E
5:00 - back of the neck to see the 3-2 in the main rif
you can see a pick

2:06 - see bassist with pick
2:31 - a little far away, but you can tell his hand moves, and hear the pitch so the main riff is |0-0-6-7-0-0-5-7|0-0-4-5-0-0-3-2|
3:35 - see him again
4:42 - bar 116 - 7 and slides back to 3, not moving across to 8 on E

1:40 - shows riff clearly |0-0-6-7-0-0-5-7|0-0-4-5-0-0-3-2|
2:01 - same thing

Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)

This is one song a ton of people play wrong. Hopefully they'll find this video so they can do it properly!

[ClintHalliday]

Dude i cant believe you cover a such a great Aussie Band! A great tribute to Bones who passed not long ago! Thanks for covering this song. You should have a listen to Midnight Oils early stuff! Thanks for this one anyway!

[feywild]

Always wanted to learn the bass line for this one. Thanks for another great video, Sam!

[analisaswann]

I always loved this song, and I'm really happy to see that it's actually friendly to beginners! Thanks for the cover :)

[MD-jtdj]

Great song, great cover...thanks a lot for the tabs! This is one my Midnight Oil favourites. So real with amazing lyrics.

[ThunderBassistJay]

This bassline makes people remember this song. 😎

[christyrice]

No matter what song u play u make me smile and enjoy playing with you! I love your energy❤

[TheDieselndust]

Your smile is kind of infectious. Hello from Cypress, Texas. 👍🏻

[Tia-yi]

Thank you for the tabs and a big thank you for showing the first note of the next row. Helps a ton when playing!

[maurices]

I'm glad you use a pick for this song. Many other covers on YouTube are finger picked and it just doesn't work as well. Great playing and tone!

[miakhalifaband]

Love it. Great energy, perfectly executed. Helped me a lot. Cheers from Brazil.

[jerrytaylor]

Thanks for doing this song, I have a great memory of Jerry when I hear this song cause he did burn our bed that we had at our guitar players house. We use to stay there on weekends a lot. But I was not there at that time and he fell asleep with a cigarette so now that room is called "The Burn Room" lol

[what-it-do]

You are helping me learn the Bass man. Appreciate you bro 👍

[hanheerockon]

I really love this song. Your bass sound is perfect!!!👍 Thank you for redoing it!! And I love your blue light.💙 I don't know what it is, but I think it makes the atmosphere more mystical overall.

[tonweya]

Thank you Samboat for this brillant version of one of my absolute favorite song with a strong bassline. Both easy and challenging for me as beginner. And supercool!

[robbyrocksoo]

love your format with the notes below. easy to learn

[evaldoguimaraes]

Go forward my friend …..very well done. Thanks a lot.

[ojebrown]

Sorry. I'm wrong. You are right. A and B is correct. A#B fits too but it was hard to hear. In a slower tempo it is clear. Forget my first comment. Good job.

[thesteveus]

Another Aussie here appreciating this cover, they have some great thumping bass lines, do some more Oils mate!! Cheers

[gillesturner]

This is awesome, I'm new to music and bass so I use this to practice my timing and rhythm; can't do all the notes yet but I love this video as well as others you have!
