Показать описание

Tips And Comments:

- Playing Technique:

Played with a pick next to the bridge pickup with middle strength. Bridge pickup volume at 0

- Gear Sound:

Added some mid frequencies and some treble

- About The Song:

I play some parts in downstrokes, i know. I really think there's different sound when you play only downstrokes in some parts of the song. You can choose the picking motion for every part, it's up to you!

Need more tips? Just comment!

I'm an old fart that finally gave into the young soul that was lost in bass from the 60's and 70's. Finally (shows you how old I am) and as for Bon Jovi I've still got my Xroads tour Wembley tickets in pride of place with memories of standing on the centre circle. Enough of the past. I bit the bullet, bought a shortscale much to the anst of 'er indoors. LP and RG's are now firmly on the wall and I simply can't thank you enough. I really mean it. I have been struggling (with the guitar) to link timing to technique to tab no matter who I have used for on line lessons, it simply didn't jell. Maybe it's helped by using shortscale but, burger me, watching you is like having a whole 1000 piece jigsaw falling into place! I have been bouncing around the office enjoying every single minute. Thanks, thanks and please keep it up.

This is the bassist's anthem. Everyone starting out in the bass is always livin' on a prayer

As is the case with so many classic rock songs, the bass line adds as much as a lead guitar or vocalist. Without the bass line, many songs just wouldn't carry as well.

I don't really play guitar/bass but I love being able to read the tabs!

An absolutely brilliantly written and executed bass line - simple, melodic, supportive, and f**ing catchy! Hugh McDonald was Bon Jovi's secret musical weapon. Like Michael Jackson's Billy Jean, the bass line makes the song, and not a single note is wasted, or can be replaced.

absolutely fantastic guide and instruction. I love it when the bass carries the melody of a song.

Me encantan tus vídeos, y me sirven para aprender a tocar, ya que no te limitas a tocar la cover sino que también pones los tabs, y encima con ritmo. ¡Por fin unos tabs que lleven el ritmo puesto! :D. Saludos y sigue así ^.^

Young bass players, learn to play with a pick and your fingers. Most players prefer one over the other and will not, or can not switch. Each song is different and requires different attacks. You don't want to sound the same on every song. Mix it up.

You are very special because you are the only one is see on YT who actually plays it the right way and makes the bass sound pretty good you can't say that about the rest
