- 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!

This song has a totally kick-ass bass line!

[@kekmaster4346]

yeah I love the pre-chorus and chorus bassline it makes the song so much better without standing out

[@kekmaster4346]

the bass is 40% of the song

[@smile7172]

talented guy

[@PerpetualArt]

@@smile7172 + I always thought Jon Bon Jovi said he distained the bass player. I wonder if he actually wrote the line, or if the producer, or Richie came up with it.

[@ronkozlowski8169]

@mountaingoat1003 this song has haunted me for about 2 yrs may be from apathy, boredom or what not. tonight i,m getting the bass line down. my wife wants it.

[@MM-vs2et]

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

[@MetalBassist666]

I've been playing bass for 2 years and haven't tried to learn this yet. It looks fun to play. Not that it's too hard but because I haven't thought about playing it until now

[@alexandras_heads_in_the_clouds]

I started out with have you ever seen the rain

[@rmbscarb]

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.

[@VideoPrens]

Congratulations man. How has your journey been so far?

[@themightyzanoss8409]

burger me

[@iamruthlouis5599]

I could literally listen to this all day...matter fact that’s what I’m going to do😭😭😭

[@rockmetalhead7680]

My love???

[@KeystoneFinancialAcademy]

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.

[@brunomartinello1114]

"...not a single note is wasted or can be replaced..." Thanks for showing me the exact words i was trying to find to describe what i was feeling minutes ago, when i was listening to the original track with a headphone and paying attention to the bass line (overall structure + details) and to the performance of the bassist in Studio. The words you found to describe It are as perfect to explain It as the bassline is perfect to this song, LMAO.

[@BlakeNix]

Yeah, I agree. All killer no filler.

[@nanb8767]

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.

[@ithinkiknow]

Agreed! I’m a bassist and without bass the songs would be bland...

[@fivestring65ify]

You got that right

[@zeffmalchazeen3429]

I forgot the video title, but it explains why the base in this song is a work of genius.

[@Alvaro-uq1jq]

Yo soy guitarrista y opino que el bajo es incluso más importante que una guitarra sin bajo no hay banda.

[@tintin_1402_]

Apoyo este comentario, para mí es muy extraño escuchar música sin acompañamiento del bajo.

[@CarryLarry]

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

[@evenoddprime]

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

[@JWL-UK]

Bravo! Absolutely amazing! I was looking for a bass only version of this song to play along at the drums. Great work!

[@annamarc5618]

And people think bass is easy

[@lenechris65]

if you think guitar is hard, then this would be as hard.*

[@jasonbryant.bassguitarplay3641]

Dam sure this one ain't CLOSE TO BEING EASY.. I imagine it would be fairly easy if the bass player and drummer learned it together. You cannot substitute the energy of a real drummer with you playing bass. I'm sure IN TODAY'S MESS some could play to a drum track and speaker but it's no flavor to it. No emotion. But I love Bon Jovi basslines .

[@kentcyclist]

It is

[@gazza_moar077]

It. Is

[@parkerbergeski813]

No not really. When I learned to play Wild Side from Mötley Crüe it took some time to learn it. That’s how you learn bass

[@eggegg8026]

learnt this about 4 months into my bass journey. now im not even a year in and playing hysteria will always love this song

[@offspringfan89]

Great job man! Very simple yet catchy and melodic bass line, one of my favourites.

[@GamesOffNermal]

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

[@harleecarey9003]

THIS GUY IS INCREDABLE!!! I'VE LEARNED SO SO SO MANY SONGS FROM THIS GUY!! YOU R A LEGEND!!!

[@alexiopostolski8777]

I have a seen a lot of your videos and they are all really helpfull. Your tabs are the most accurate I have ever seen. Keep doing what you 're doing.

[@mariajosefernandezlozano3542]

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 ^.^

[@CoverSolutions]

+Yuno Gasai Gracias! Saludos

[@alonzotanner1226]

Well done man! LOVE your covers. Looking forward to trying to get close to your level years from now.

[@williamhosford2796]

This song is a bass player`s dream! Strong!!

[@sebastianholguinrincon4906]

PERFECTION. Congrats mate, you are really good at this.

[@belgarion87belgarion28]

sos tremendo bajista man la verdad que tus videos me ayudan muchisimo gracias por compartirlos

[@MrFleshcutter]

I never knew that this song had such an awesome bass line.

[@robloxvids2233]

The part during the chorus is wonderful. Whenever I hear the song my ear hones in on the bassline. That tells you it's good.

[@911greg]

In my opinion, it's arguably the best line ever. It's between this and Miguel - where's the fun in forever.

[@ValboaCross]

There's just something about the lower tones and keeping a steady rythem that makes me enjoy playing the bass over the guitar.

[@gr1m805]

I love you're cover's man, I hope you keep making them! One song I would love to see would be Harold of the Rocks by Primus

[@happyhellday3]

I second that

[@fractalzone1210]

+Aaron Reprek Man, that song is pretty cool, i agree

[@adamsaunders5034]

*your

[@Guitarstuffff]

I was looking for the bass riff for this and it’s so fun to play omggg thank you :)!!

[@frhtkilic]

One of the greatest bass lines!

[@dumdumbrown4225]

…wow I know nothing about bass - and I’m in love with your riffs! Rock on!!

[@nightmonkey07]

After watching your videos I have a new appreciation for bass. It totally makes this song.

[@gofastandwynn]

Was always my favorite song to play on bass in pep band. I used to throw in a slide right at the start of the chorus, kinda like what Sting would do when he played Roxanne live.

[@combiangel]

my favorite bass line ever it is a song within a song

[@MegaSeth301]

I think it's a super underrated bass line. Not my favorite ever but it's damn well written.

[@frank-i90]

I’m a drummer and I learned to listen this fantastic strument (drum and bass work toghether) And nothing… I LOVE IT! ❤️🤘🏻🥁🎸

[@suicideistheanswer369]

I am in love with this bass line.

[@theeesoftparade]

Fantastic! Alec did an amazing bass line in this one and you played it awesome!

[@macribas]

Except Alec didn't play it... this was recorded by Hugh McDonald.

[@nathanlambert7138]

I love your covers!!! Could you cover "The wall" from Pink Floyd please?

[@fabianastorga7404]

wow de todos los intentos de tocar el bajo que llevo ere el que mejor sirve para aprender y ensayar, no solo las sacas sino que las compartes y no te lucras de ello!, eres un genio hermano! si puedes sacar: true de spandau ballet te lo agradeceria es para el cumpleaños de mi madre que le encanta ese tema!

[@jcore01]

Man, looks tough to keep a groove! Nice job!!! I've been playing bass for a long time and even that seems hard to learn. Time for me to start practicing!

[@dxdadown]

Trivium - Becoming the Dragon please! Has a pretty nice bass solo

[@billyjoemolin5762]

Muito bom, toca muito 👍✌️ Toca Aerosmith Cryin!

This is awesome, it's all I hear on the track when I play it nowadays

[@MrWilko58]

it was all going so well, and then the key change!

[@jrbensen]

this is intoxicatingly watchable. Love it. Keep it up.

[@ranaul24]

Been listening to this song since teenager but just realize how powerful the bass line is❤

[@mbourne3020]

Those riffs are the benchmark of simplicity and effectiveness

[@luisenriquelopezduran4069]

Excellent job... It would be a must playing with no pick!

[@joesavary6081]

It's awesome that the tab is actually playable, unlike many book versions

[@LC__15]

Always loved this song but I now always listen out for the bass line everytime which made me love the song a bajillion times more, also _shout out to_ *Hugh McDonald* who actually re-wrote and re-recorded this bassline which ended up being the one we've all come to love and enjoy :)

[@user-ox9ep9ki6h]

My kids has moved up from beginner to early intermediate but this song is JUST too difficult for him unfortunately. Can wait,, we both love Living on a Prayer,, one of the perfect rock songs.

[@IbrahimFamiy]

Alec is so great on playing bass i wish Alec would be back to Bon Jovi

[@josephb9617]

He didn’t play this bass line

Lovely cover as always! If I may request, could you do a cover of Ruby by Kaiser Chiefs or Battlestar Scralatchtica by Incubus? Both have pretty groovy basslines. Thanks and keep up the good work!
