I like how he stares into my soul before playing

Tina Weymouth learned bass just to play for Talking Heads. So underrated. Great tutorial! Going to play it right now!

[johncadden]

Just got my first bass. This is the song I wanted to learn right away. Cheers.

The bass line in this song is like a flirtatious ness, excellent cover.

I ran this one at 75% just to memorize the song. Then ran it again at 100%. Well Done! Great channel. I was able to learn this song really quick.

Not overly complex tabs, but the burn in the fretting hand is real (at least for me) xD Great video <3

[gogorecords]

I wanna go back in time and learn this bassline as a teenager beginner bassist again. So much pleasure.

[artuyano]

This is my first song i have ever started to learn and im loving it so far

[haydartacettin]

Hey dude. You play wrong @ 2:38. you have to play F# instead of F . tableture must be 9 7 5 (not 8 7 5 )

[AngelGarcia-ilox]

El cover más esperado por toda latinoamerica unida

[purplebass]

Brilliant cover/lesson. Your channel is becoming a great learning resource-Thank you.

[vtsnowrider]

Tina Weymouth is the most underestimated bassist. Her lines seem easy

[danadane]

Got everything down . Especially the muting with the right hand fingers. Alot of players miss that detail . Best rendition on youtube I've seen.

[joshosborn]

the best bass cover I seen on YouTube.

I really enjoy this presentation of the bass line. The Stop Making Sense concert video version of this song is not my favorite version because it greatly (completely?) downplays the bass. That concert is fantastic, a classic, I watch it over and over....yet I'd rather listen to this version and this presentation of Psycho Killer. Thanks for such a good video. I'm now an 'old guy' who spent waaay too much of my life not appreciating the bass playing on songs. So many wasted years of not realizing how much bass guitar does for music.

thank you so much for adding the regular notes in too!! i play upright bass and have been trying to learn it but all i could find were bass guitar tabs so thank you!

He seems very tense and nervous at the beginning, almost as if he can't relax...

[chrisbarnette]

Very smooth and wonderful playing on such an iconic song.

[mikeburkhart]

Harry, thank you for all your videos. I've learned songs from you. Smile more often, you look like your not sure. Great job Harry.

[jennaellis]

The way you set this up is awsome I was able to learn the song super quick!
