** I got this as a request from a patron, so I fast tracked it, but I also really liked the song. I'm a fan of Billy Joel, and so this one was really cool to do. I especially like the progression of the chorus in this one, but my favorite Billy Joel song is "The Downeaster Alexa".
I also took some liberty to pop off with that wild accordion solo :)
The accordion was a gift to me from my late grandfather. That's his name on the accordion itsself and it's quite old. I really want to learn to play it properly, but I'm glad that I was able to use it for this video with my limited skills on it. Now that I have my Samboat shirt, I normally use it on videos where I don't have a shirt for the artist, but I felt like this shirt was more appropriate for a couple reasons. The first being it more fit the Billy Joel feel, and the second being that it was my grandfather's as well. It felt fitting since I used his accordion in the video :)

Bar 29, sounded like it followed the kick, but using headphones, it's a half note

I only needed live videos for positioning. Everything else was easily audible.

Shows in the chorus is in the middle of the neck

Shows the same

Same

(the few older videos I found didn't show the bassist)

Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)

Billy Joel really has such underrated bass lines.

[lelouh]

No one is talking about the accordion part, it's just hilarious! Congrats man you made me laugh and you defo worked hard ! 😂

[elizabethroth]

Ok, you got me. I looked up "Is there Life on Mars" for a fun bass tab to read. Then I said, "what the heck, I'll just pull up some Billy Joel, and there you were again with this one. As much as I love Vienna, I never even paid attention to the bass line. Wow, that was fun to play. Love your smiles when you play, I just had to subscribe... thanks!

[specialkalberta]

Excellent. I had the same smile on my face listening as you had while playing.

[raphaelbermudes]

[AmaliePark]

Excellent! Thanks! Never heard this song until today :-)

[juhos]

Solid cover man! I'd love to see some Death on this channel, so im requesting Flesh And The Power It Holds by Death. Also Tornado Of Souls would be sick!

[laurabellotti]

Your grandfather would love the tribute 💕

[laurabellotti]

Great job. I wish the accordion montage was a tad slower. 👏

[davidmfass]

Great cover. And also what great songwriting.

[cxmgaming]

Excellent covers on your channel. Great bass playing. I really liked your Darius Rucker - Wagon Wheel cover. Any chance you could do some Hootie And The Blowfish or more of his solo works? I like “The Rain Song” & some of their new hits like “Rollin” and “Hold On”. Thanks!

[tlkpdls]

Great cover bro
I have a request, could you play Miami 2017 by Billy Joel

[dp-movies]

I like the song as I live in Austria and the capitol is Vienna 🙂

[Van-fcqt]

Awesome! ... What about "This Must Be the Place"... the Talking Heads?
