Greatest bass In any song ever. Definitely most iconic.

I just picked up the ubass a week ago and this is my first song to learn. Your videos are super helpful. Thank you so much for posting.

Me and my buddies would always play this on our double bass back in high school and our teacher would get mad (Our own stairway to heaven). Now I'm learning it on bass guitar. So many memories from this wonderful bass line.

[MrSuzuki]

Every note was perfectly done! Thanks for your cover of this beautiful song from my teenage years.

[bglasston]

man this is so fast for me being a beginner, but I'm giving it a go... that ghost note...i had to watch your fingers 20¹⁰ times to see how to really do it in the groove of things... thanks for this video, it's amazing you did this song too...✔️✍🏻

You are a genius! I like this song very much (we played it in our orchestra) and you play always great. 👍👍 I like that you are so friendly to your community and check your coments!

[ethantorres]

i learned how to play this on one string on guitar all by myself like a big boy :D

[GoingGoingGonzo]

My first song to learn on bass was this song and UB40’s Red Red Wine. I had lost all my notes. Thank you for this.😊

[tobiaswolfelsperger]

A tip: if you dont have got a 5 string bass it sounds better if you tune your bass to drop D and play it an octave down

[benink]

Thanks! I just transposed it to guitar. Had to drop D for it tho. Set my fuzz tone all the way to bass and turned my tone knob off on guitar. BAM now my guitar is a Bass.... or at least sounds like one lol. Made a loop of it and then played a lead to the vocals! Fun! Thank you!

[roxanneryan]

You did a great job man!. Thank you so much!.
