Burnin' for You Bass Cover

[@spearmintt1342]

I started playing bass because of this song

[@TJH3113]

Cool.

[@doublearon1073]

Bro epic

[@CharlesA.]

Bro i legit ordered a bass because of that song and after dark🤘

[@bunek5272]

Lol me too

[@ldobbs2384]

Yes.

[@michaelrodriguez1130]

His face when he messed up the last note. I do the same thing. Awesome cover

[@babyg29406]

DOH

[@alexanderb4465]

Dude, you are a fucking Bo$S with the bass, not just this but all your covers. I salute your tremendous dedication to sharpen your skills to this ultimate level. You inspire me

[@TJH3113]

***** Thanks a lot. Sorry I am late replying.

[@amosnews]

Once, just one. Oh please play a cover while wearing one of your cool masks.

[@dspencer1969]

He did once-house of fun i believe it was

[@bobbyt2788]

I started playing bass 19 months ago because of this channel! And now I’m learning this song! I love playing bass. Best instrument ever!

[@TJH3113]

That's wonderful to hear! I hope you derive as much satisfaction from playing as I have/do. Thanks and take care!

[@charlestoliver6099]

To me the bass is the soul of a song and you sir are an Excellent Bassist!

[@TJH3113]

I agree, and thank you so much.

[@Qazc5]

More Blue Oyster Cult! i would love to see you cover "Then Came the Last Days of May" from their debut album. great job as always.

[@bassmonsteradsit7160]

I really like your approach. Small, tiny little variances from the original that make it your own yet stay totally with the original vibe. I've watched more than several of your vids in preparation for filling in on bass in my brothers classic rock cover band while normally I play all original hard rock and metal. I've been playing guitar and bass for close to 30 years now and have a pretty good and accurate ear. But when it's crunch time, I'll sort through the best bass covers I can find, scout some good tabs and start hammering it out. I've found your vids (when you've done songs I've needed) to be above the rest because of your accuracy and attention to the feel. Keep rocking brother!! I'll put up some requests later and hopefully they make it on your 'I want to do this' list :)

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. Perhaps I'll get around to some more Cake one day.

[@LehmanTaylor]

Love the sound of that Rickenbacher, had the chance at one in a local music store about 35 years ago but didn’t pull the trigger. Wish I had.

[@TJH3113]

Don't feel too bad about it. I'm not a very big fan of the instrument.

[@UnknownUTUBEAgent]

I love classic rock and metal. Thanks for the excellent playing. I hope you have more great classic songs along the way.

[@thegildedagemadonnabe]

Wow Rickenbacker! those basses a hard to come by these days! that was Roger Water's first bass until he started his Fender Precision obsession

[@Dryweave78]

Holy crap, we have video evidence of you hitting a wrong note. The devils lawyers can expect to be hearing from you shortly. Great vid, as always!

[@9_nein_9]

Very nice . You are so relaxed when playing.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I just create the illusion of being relaxed.

[@57precision]

Flawless playing as always. Great tone from the Ricky on this one!

[@francescofilippini800]

You are the Sir Four Strings Bassguitar!! I really appreciate your job and your taste and your.. haunted wall. Follow you. Cheers from Italy

[@TJH3113]

Wow, thanks. Most of the masks are from DeathStudios.

[@tdelamont]

You have been my go-to for spot-checking bass parts since I saw your virtual cover of "She's a Beauty" and it knocked my socks off. Your videos are well shot and you have an ear for choosing the most sensible and accurate bass parts for playing live. Also, your studio audience is the best. Anyway, to the point: I recently had a minor stroke, which has left me with (probably) permanent numbness in my right fingertips. I could slop by with a thick pick and some stickum, but I don't want to. I want to get my fingerstyle playing as close to what it was as is possible, and I am using your videos as a guide to re-teaching my fingers (my pre-stroke technique and yours are almost identical). So keep up the good work and know that this hobby of yours is doing some real good out there. Thanks, Tony.

[@JT40_]

Man your song selection is ON POINT

[@TJH3113]

Thanks so much!

[@meelays]

I see what you did there with the B-side reference and the second verse...nice!

[@TJH3113]

I had to look into what you were talking about. I see it was something I wrote in the text beneath the video. Honestly, I wish I was that clever and my comment had nothing at all to do with the song lyric.

[@meelays]

@@TJH3113 well it was cool nonetheless!

[@enzoogliari1072]

awesome tone

[@TJH3113]

Thanks.

[@MrSparks54]

Awesome cover! I have the exact same 4001, perfect bass for this song. Thank you.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks! Very cool!

[@tmmyholm9]

I am so glad you didn't stick your bass under your bed. Your covers have helped me a lot. Thanks for what you do. P.S. I think I saw a family member behind you...

[@TJH3113]

Me too. Thanks a lot.

[@jonwest321]

No chatting just the sweet sound of Troy's bass playing, thx Troy"🎸

[@TJH3113]

You bet!

[@RodStewart_Geek]

Your background is glorious. Subscribed for that reason alone, but that’s some nice playing too.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks.

[@russellhall896]

Thanks for uploading this. I just recently picked up the bass (at the ripe old age of 50). Your videos are very helpful. Any plans on doing Don't Fear The Reaper?

[@TJH3113]

Thanks for watching. Cool, I hope you enjoy playing as much as I have/do. I'm very glad that you find the videos helpful. I hadn't planned on it, but you never know.

[@anthonymarez7188]

Just did a cover gig had too learn this in real time...I was close ... good job

[@TJH3113]

Cool, thanks!

[@horrorshowbass]

if you wouldnt mind sticking up "since youve been gone" Troy, id definately give it a watch. Great palying again man.

[@apeaks3559]

Love BÖC!! Amazing cover

[@TJH3113]

Thanks a lot!

[@SeanLain]

Actually, some parts I used to double up the finger picking, just for a more percussive sound. I had a habit of doing that on some Rush songs playing by ear.

[@dspencer1969]

Sounding sic on the Rick,awesome as always Mr Troy

[@TJH3113]

Thanks!

[@acscovers15]

I love that bass! Good work man sounds great!

[@TJH3113]

Thank you!

[@PushSueAside]

You are amazing and I’d watch anything you play. Don’t care for Sara McLaughlin but I’d probably still watch it. And the ones you do with your Ric, at least twice. Keep hem coming.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks a lot.

[@katyleejones8484]

My favorite bass line in any song. Well done!

[@Hornswoop]

Thanks for uploading, Troy! You did a great job, as usual.

[@lolley1000]

Still as great as always !!! I got a request for you ....... the bass line to Green eyed lady . I have most of it down but not all the way . Seems after watching you play a song I can play it or play it better . I like the way you show your videos . You have it set where people can see both hands . But just wanted to place a request for that song . Keep rocken Bro!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I actually got Green Eyed Lady off of iTunes last year and messed around with it a bit. Maybe I'll revisit it.

[@Allmanfan456]

Always have loved this bass line. Simple but great. Amazing cover as usual man!

[@scriptmasterGD]

Nice initiative, "SInce You've Been Gone" - Rainbow would definetaly be a pleasant upload! Great cover, love the feeling.

[@GordonSlamsay]

That is a beautiful Rick. Also great tone

[@TJH3113]

I'm glad you like it. I sold it quite some time ago. Thanks.

[@golfrick007]

Another winner, Love the B.O.C. Are you going to be making any more videos with the other guys? miss your singing :)

[@timdoog42]

That kicked ass Troy .That Rick rocks the tube dude.You should try Gypsie Queen by April wine.

[@davidholland9505]

Absolutely the best tone from a Rick I have ever heard. You Sir always amaze. I have played this song a million times and every once in a while I still play G instead of A at the end, and do exactly what you did. Lol😅

[@TJH3113]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

[@tmmyholm9]

@@TJH3113 Think that A was the only right note I hit

[@bubblesvampire7575]

Awesome cover. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if you did some more CAKE covers if you ever feel so inclined. Big Tubes fan as well.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. If I had to guess which song you'd pick, it would be that one. Great song.

[@rosewoodfretboard]

Always liked this song. The cover is a great companion.

[@TJH3113]

Cool.

[@kpax45]

Love your bass playing, could you post some Rolling Stones covers? They are my favorite group

[@mattwalsh4534]

Great video of a genuinely great rock song. Well done, Sir.

[@TJH3113]

That was it. Anything else I had has been flushed. I just hung on to these because I still put a fair amount of work into them and they aren't half bad.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. Never heard "The Pact". I'll try to give it a listen.

[@davidwiser3883]

I absolutely adore that Rickenbacker.

[@TJH3113]

This one is long gone... as is the one that replaced it.

[@Retro80sDude]

Nicely done! Love the sound of your Rik! Ever tried covering the BOC song The Pact? I am sure you could do it no problem though.

[@earlofmar11]

Fine cover as always! Since you're asking: I like to play along to some Sarah McLachlan songs myself, so Adia woud be nice...

[@Bacopa68]

This song was popular when I was a teen, but I never used "I'm burnin' for you" as a pickup line.

[@AceDawg45]

Man this must be child's play for you!

[@TJH3113]

AceDawg45 I don't really look at songs as hard or easy.

[@JimmyJames714]

Cool one Troy. I like just about all the songs on your list, but my vote goes for "Salt in My Tears"

[@deadbird564]

All of your videos are awesome...and Brandy actually got me playing again...any chance you'd consider covering "Josie" by Steely Dan?

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I really love that song but wasn't sure about posting it. You asked for it.

[@Vineyardedge]

Yay- I love this song too! Great job, Troy!

[@TJH3113]

Never heard it but I'll try to give it a listen. Thanks.

[@marcelocorrea1110]

I do not know why, but in the end I thought you'd get a cup of coffee or something, by the way, keep going!

[@TOMIT2112]

loving it ....man I remember the video of them like under some bridge at night with a garbage can on fire ,,,I though they were the coolest thing....great job

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I'll put you down for one "Talk To You Later".

[@ThatGuy-ep4cn]

Missed note at the end, but I dont care. Still really awesome! I love playing bass on guitar hero. :)

[@TJH3113]

That Guy Haha. I'd forgotten about that. Thanks.

[@greenoak1]

Well played - nice and tight like... Not my fav BOC pull, but very good nonetheless. It's like I'm reliving my high school years on every new cover you make (I'm 50) I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!!

[@Hornswoop]

Would love to hear Moon Crazy as well!

[@tomkeeler4243]

You make playing Bass look fun. 👍👍

[@TJH3113]

It is!

[@Nicecardude100]

Another great cover thanks TJ.

[@frankynodots]

Please tell us what else you have sitting idle on your desktop!

[@TheDp1965]

Awesome Job. Cheers.

[@prohumanbeing]

Joe Boussard played his Alembic on this and other late BOC sessions and live.

[@patriot3dx]

Excelente tono.

[@destincasimiro6984]

I always loved that song...

[@TJH3113]

Me too!

[@TJH3113]

I like them all for different things. The Jazz basses are my overall favorites, the Ric, my least.

[@DeathStarGuitars]

FANTASTIC!! Quick question, have you thought of doing Love Gun by KISS?

[@TJH3113]

Alexskywalkerr Thanks. Maybe. I like the song, just hate tuning down.

[@Rowdyrecords55]

So those are quarter notes during the verse? I always thought they were eighth notes.. great cover!

[@TJH3113]

Yes, the guitar is chugging out the eight notes. Thanks.

[@69lucyfer]

Great, Troy!

[@Steinbacker4001]

Something so warm & soulful in a Rick - I can't play for crap but I will buy a Rickenbacker some day.

[@TJH3113]

A lot of people seem to like them but they are not on my list of favorite basses.

[@miltonchavez1262]

Nice bass cover bro! Do you have a PDF for this bass line?

[@TJH3113]

Thank you. No, I'm sorry but I don't have any tabs for this, or any, song. I play by ear and memory. If I had them, you would be most welcome to them.

[@Kapir00to]

Hey man, can you make a Jaco Pastorius cover? Nice cover btw

[@TJH3113]

I never listened to much Jaco, you never know though. Thanks.

[@er2982]

Nice collection up there

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. Most of them are from DeathStudios.

[@moraleskush420]

Tone is great man rickenbackers are prolly the best sounding basses of all time

[@brofessor_oak_7]

@Kevin Tucker If my memory serves me correctly he used a Music Man Stingray.

[@sheerluckholmes5320]

Still a classic.... well done

[@TJH3113]

Thanks.

[@hey8ers_gonna_hateyammers695]

Just came across this video. I see by your others pretty similar taste in music. Ive had Rickenbackers like that (2 cause 1 was stolen - ins. replaced.) Just saw same song covered on a Steinburger and their both good but Rick sounds a little better. Those and Alembic are hard beat.

[@TJH3113]

I think the guy from BOC played an Alembic.

[@TJH3113]

I think it was a car on fire, but that's the video. Thanks.

[@GuitarGuys7299]

Another kick ass cover!

[@TJH3113]

GuitarGuys7299 Thanks.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. Nothing in the works. I can't really complain or push too hard as I usually have the least to do on these projects.

[@mmmn7016]

what do you think of dont fear the reaper troy? my hands get easily exhausted trying to play that song :((

[@TJH3113]

I like the song, but it's not one I ever thought of covering. I think I remember playing around with it many, many years ago and, like you, found it overly exhausting for not all that much reward.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Valerie!

[@svitale3546]

Would love to see you do a cover of Young Lust by Pink Floyd. You rock!

[@TJH3113]

That's a possibility.

[@TJH3113]

I'm sorry but that video file was corrupted and wouldn't upload.

[@jmcrae825]

Again nice job. In the video it shows the bassist using a pick. Do you only use fingers. I prefer to use whatever was on the original track to try to stay true to the tone. Either way, you sir are a four string badass. My hats off to you.

[@gtate135]

jmcrae825 yep Joe Bouchard was a pick bassist.

[@michaelmyers8596]

The cyclops mask is like, “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-“.

[@TJH3113]

I thought he was like, "Zzzzzzzzz...."

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. Maybe one day for "Josie".

[@jonnyrebb]

Talk To Ya Later is fun to play on bass.

[@mrsullyrox]

nice job!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. Yes, this was pre-thumbrest.

[@JesusLittle]

You know what? It would be good to see December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night). A good song never ages.

[@sdrury01]

love your vids...and that Ric'....damn. Awesome.

[@TJH3113]

sdrury01 Thanks.

[@matthewlee8667]

Very nice

[@TJH3113]

Thanks.

[@TJH3113]

Cool. I only play songs by ear.
