still great 60 years later...can't believe it

[@tomsmith4753]

Most bass tabs out there for this song have it wrong. This guy is true to the original song with the original key. He doesn't play the bass line boogie woogie style like you would think; He walks up to the Fifth, instead of emphasizing the Third. And he plays it upright style, in a higher octave. GREAT job sir.

Marshall Lytle played and upright bass and originated the slap bass technique. Listen again to the song and hear the click, click, click... which is Lytle's bass playing. And watch Craig Morrison's interview with Marshall Lytle.

..........and taking you back in time :)

[@davidmfass]

Thanks for this. Not how I imagined it, but when I listen to the recording, I see that's right.

[@infusion26]

That Lakland bass is a joy to play and It's sounds pretty amazing :-)

[@deanborg0062]

Very nice to see this new video! It just proves how versatile you are. You provide me so much motivation to learn and try new things..keep it up! You have my vote as the best bass guitarist on KZbin :-)

[@carsonfarley2560]

Awesome!

[@midilogic]

Excellent cover!

[@kiekstje1]

I LOVE IT!! doe zo verder, ik kijk altijd uit naar je nieuwe bass covers :)

[@christianomar92]

Gotta love the 12-bar blues.

[@morrisman64]

Great cover I had no idea until watching your cover how busy the bass line was in this classic tune

[@kennikuhlmann-clark9860]

It's originally played on a double-bass (i.e., stand-up bass, bass fiddle, contrabass), which is also acoustic and fretless (unlike most electric bass guitars)... it was not played originally on a bass guitar....

[@morrisman64]

Great job

[@AlbertoOlivieri]

Great Transcription, Great tone! Grazie ciao from Italy!

[@Urankar3]

Great Bass cover,my friend*****5+

[@ashturner606]

The bass line on Spotify is different to this one. Is there two versions of this song? I checked out the youtube original and what your playing is on the money. What's going on with that???

[@2009framat]

sounds great

[@rosewoodfretboard]

Shame on me. I forgot what a great song this is. This Infusion guy's pretty good. :)

[@at90percent]

Some of those 50's style bass lines are mad difficult to play.

[@arctichare8185]

Watch Craig Morrison's interview with Marshall Lytle. Bill Haley actually gave him his first bass lesson. He describes how slapping is done.

[@michaelfuria4257]

yes, many of the 50's basslines are buried in the mix..

[@piomola7269]

BRAVO MAESTRO

[@infusion26]

I use Elixir coated bass strings.(roundwood)

[@KeviN6Wu]

I'm gonna make a cover like this:D I have never play any song this old.

[@luzgaona614]

great

[@pbrtaskforce116]

always a great job and yes if you could play back in slow motion it would be great

[@eddetoro6929]

GREAT ! I WISH YOU WOULD WRITE BASS TABS FOR ALL YOUR COVERS !!! BE COOL AND DO IT, I'D BUY IT !!!

[@cherfieldm]

Great bass player, do you have the bass tab for it please can i ask for it. Thanks.

[@infusion26]

+cherfieldm Unfortunately i do not have any tabs. Sorry about that but just look at the video and listen...use the pause button and pencil and paper. Good luck :-)

[@cherfieldm]

+infusion26 Thanks you sir, you are a good and inspirational bass player.

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

Awesome! Is there a bit of chromaticism in this bass line?

[@davidmfass]

Seems like. The bass during the guitar break goes A,C#,D,D#,E and back down again. Nice chromatic run. Not very typical rock bassline, more jazzy I think.

[@chilitoday]

Not busy but a solid interesting groove

[@RootBeerFlavored]

Oh yeah, let's see you play it on an upright now. -just kidding... Great job!

[@brian_sh699]

i really enjoy this which confuses me because i like edm songs

[@hillerm]

An unusual bass line. It uses scale movement instead of arpeggios.

[@davidmfass]

Love the cover, but when I listen to the original it seems like the bass line stays the same through the guitar and sax solos. It's just the same all the way through... that's what I hear.

[@infusion26]

Sorry no tabs here.

[@marcminermusic]

Hey, fantastic channel! I'm sure you will enjoy my video, so check it out and leave a comment! Have a great day! Cheers, Marc

[@infusion26]

Hey Marc, I listened to your last video. Nice voice. Great look. I read your bio on your website. Wow what a roller coaster. You live life the fullest. Keep on singing and make people happy with your music.

[@1964danielito]

could you send me tabs , please?

[@szidorbass]

pro

[@keiththestones7951]

*1955

[@infusion26]

O no not me ....LOL.

[@jasoncarruthersentertainment]

Thats in key of A. I play it in G

[@TonyHungTonthat]

We need to hear the bass not the loud music

[@bereni]

Sorry, but what a flat sound compared to the original dubble bass! Please, come back Marshall Lytle !

[@user-ys1cm1cr8k]

You play it wrong... At least in the real version it starts from open A string you play it way too up and it sounds bad

[@kennet7837]

It is played on the high A originally, but it sounds better on an upright bass of course.

[@DeathCrueVideos]

ANOTHER GREAT SONG THANK YOU !! Love all your videos .. sometimes I wish you would play with the song and then do it in slower motion so we can learn from ya ..
