This one is probably the hardest cover in a while, beautiful stuff. I did my best at transcribing and opting for the more suitable positions. Still not quite happy. Check out Nate Watts, definitely and Stevie Wonder of course. Let me know if you have questions.

This is outstanding! For those of you who are unfamiliar, this is the "short" version of Do I Do. The one on the original album is like 11 minutes and it features even more ridiculous Watts licks, a random trumpet solo from Dizzy Gillespie no less and then it ends with Stevie trying to rap.

[buttery]

these videos have helped me so much, without them I wouldn't be the bassist I am today

[TheClintDavis]

This has to be one of the nastiest bass tracks in music history. It's just nonstop finesse. Bravo to you for taking on this beast!

[davidscothern]

Did Stevie Wonder's bassist have more fingers than everyone else?

[MUPHYSLAWTV]

The most accurate I have heard yet good job sir

[legalese]

That bass line is incredible and you nailed it.

[aaronshmuckler]

Really remarkable playing, however I’m not surprised at your skills. You kill it in all your covers, it’s nice that you don’t shy away from the simple ones as well. First class all the way. Really an inspiration to our bass community, keep doing you brother!

[jhat]

GOD DAMMM SON. I wanna play bass like you when I grow up. Now lemme go back to my sole achievement of playing "Good Times" and wallow in its simplicity.

[ReeNaissance]

How do you play it so smoothly? When I try it, it looked like I was fighting for my life in an intense battle with my bass ._.

[billhoyle]

You nailed that! It's such a difficult song but I think it's one of Stevie's best!

[AndreaTurturro]

Those Stevie Wonders bass lines are just sick
They just make your head bobbing a lot, awesome job mate!!!

[oliverbrooks-stephenson]

Absolutely insane. What a great cover! Such a tricky bass line to play and you nailed it 👌🏻

[thenameisnoam]

that pentatonic run in the chorus is killing me ! cant wait to get it up to speed

[MiC-T]

It just blows my mind that a human being could actually come up with this bassline, not just play it. Nathan Watts was touched by God.

[Ranjuw]

Seriously you need to be more famous, i actually get sad that this video is a day old and only has 8000 views but please keep on going you helped me start loving bass. Much thanks :)

[EllasBass]

You're so groovy! Stevie would be proud.

[CaimanReid]

I'm so pleased that you got around to covering this one, what an absolute classic and you did a great job with it! Thank you!

[andyp]

This song is so amazing and gets better each time I listen to it. Both Stevie Wonder's singing and the bass are incredible, and the bass in particular is quite lively but extremely tasteful and fun. Also, brilliant cover, thank you! I can now sort of play bits of it :)

[jeremymoore]

Much respect to you and the original performance, what a line.
