Such a great song, this is one of John Deacon’s best bass lines

[evieann]

Mate, why are all the good YouTube bassists headless 😂

I might have commented this a long time ago but you are the reason I statyed playing bass guitar and I wanted to thank you for that. It's made such a huge impact on my life and I honestly don't know what I would do without it. It was almost 2 years ago I was watching your
Metallica cover of Orion and I found it fascinating at what the hell your hands were doing. I thought, "well if there is this amazing source that is gonna give me a major head start on this and it seems fun I might as well do it". So I waited a month for my birthday and picked up an Ibanez GSR200 and Ampeg BA108 amp. They have been my best friends and I have you to thank for that. It was a spur on the moment decision and I stuck with it. I had no plans of getting a bass or any other instrument before that video. So thank you from the bottom of my

[Vegatable]

As a bassist of 5 years, I feel like I can say that your covers are comparable to that of Rocksmith. Very convenient and are great for when I don't feel like plugging my bass in. Keep it up.

[perryborn]

Gotta say man, your videos have been an absolute godsend. I picked up the bass around a year ago now, and every one of your videos I have watched and played with have helped me tremendously. Thank you so much for doing what you do man, you truly inspire and help others improve themselves.

[Mortagus]

I'm currently learning this song for a band and I have to say: your work is impeccable.
Very impressive how you succeed to make it groovy like the original.
Big thanks for the transcription and thank you for this video ^^

[ofsinope]

This bassline puts a smile on my face.

[thisisajang]

And that's why John Deacon is my favorite bassist of all time.

[Dude_McNuggz]

John Deacon was such an underrated bassist. It's a shame that Freddie's death hurt him so bad that he walked away from music. Would have really liked to see him keep going. Perhaps do some other projects.

[J_Villinki]

"I cant even hear the bass in this song" says every non musician ever.

[enrique]

I learn by ear and usually start practice really slowly. But with this one you just cant help but go with the song's pace. Fred's energy is contagious!

[bellpeppersam]

Your covers were one of the reasons why I got into playing bass so thank you very much :)

[mmarocker]

Great cover as always... my favorite Queen tunes are piano-driven ones like this and Killer Queen, they allowed John Deacon's great bass playing to really come through.

[luketodd]

Even tho I play guitar now playing bass got me started and it got my finger strength and it really helped my skills to become a guitarist
Thanks for the tabs

[luisortiz]

I have been waiting for this!!! So happy!

[dobs]

Bass lines like this have such personality!
Thanks for posting, this was a real treat!

[jojorobino]

Even after many years this song still gives me shivers. So good.

[UralaTAO]

Yo man, you're my inspiration! Keep rocking on
