This is a really great bass cover. Thank you. Exponentially helpful sir. I am very grateful for every second you put in to making this video and posting it.

[@basscoverpete]

Hi Alex, thanks for your kind words! I really have fun making these video’s, and I learn a lot by finding out which note is played when and how, as looking at the best position on the fretboard. It takes a lot of time, so I appreciate your comment! Greetz, Pete

@@basscoverpete you did all the hard work for me. I truly appreciate that. I only WISH videos like this existed in 2004 when I picked up a bass!

Elegantly delivered as always Pete. Love your calm discipline and feel. I had to master this bass groove back in 1978 when I played in a local youth big band. The bandleader was the Australian jazz trumpeter/composer James Morrison. He was very picky about the syncopation and harmony our rhythm section. It was a bit of a nightmare getting the songs right.

[@basscoverpete]

Hi Joh331, what a wonderful comment, thank you! Syncopation: great stuff for a rhythm section. I hope you had a good drummer, that helps a lot 😉. When I play an (improvised) solo I always use syncopation. Getting the songs right: I agree, it sometimes is a nightmare, but the satisfaction is high when you get it right. There’s nothing compared to that feeling when you get things right after hours and hours of practice! Greetz from the Netherlands, Pete

@@basscoverpete Greetings from Sydney Australia. You're a Dutchman ! Fantastic! My very first bass and guitar teacher as a child was famous Netherlands-born Jazz musician called Hans Tasseron. He was a musical Superman to me. he could read, write and play any music. He drilled into me the importance of timing, discipline, restrained harmony and the need for repetition to achieve refinement. Very Dutch, very cultured and very practical advice I use every day. Keep up your marvellous work Pete.

Hey Pete ! Just finished learning Does anybody really know what time it is. Your video and transcription was superb, I’m just amazed at your economy of motion in left hand I really studied and practicing this in small increments which made playing and learning this song much better.By the way Peter Cetera is very under rated bass player

[@basscoverpete]

Hi Ron! Glad you enjoy my video’s, it’s a pleasure to do and very satisfying when people like you are this glad with the video and transcription. Peter Cetera is certainly one of my favorite bassplayers. He plays very melodic, but also with fantastic rhythmic changes. I think that most people see him as a good singer (which he is) and than the bass comes in the backrow…. Greetz! Pete

Hi Migo, thx voor your reply and compliment! I'll try to do Questions 67 & 68. It's also a great song from Chicago. I'm busy for the next weeks/months with other music stuff. So please be patient :-)

[@liisakyle5264]

This is wonderful! I so appreciate your playing and transcription. And thanks for giving me new appreciation for Peter Cetera, too. Love walking basslines! Any chance you might tackle "I love you" by Barenaked Ladies? There seems to be a lot going on in the bassline but I can't find tabs or tutorial to learn it.

[@basscoverpete]

Hi Liisa, thanks for your comment and Cetera is indeed a great bassplayer. To be honest: I’d never heard of the band you mention. It’s certainly an interesting bassline. I get a lot of requests so I don’t know if or when I can do this song. Thanks again and keep on playing bass, it’s the finest instrument there is 😉. Greetz, Pete

[@liisakyle5264]

@@basscoverpete Thanks for replying. I understand that you must get a lot of requests -- and you probably would prefer to focus on your own favorite tunes first! BTW, you might know Barenaked Ladies' songs "Be my Yoko Ono", 'If I Had a Million Dollars" or "One Week." They also wrote and performed the theme song to the tv show "Big Bang Theory."

@@liisakyle5264 I’m a fan of the Big Bang Theory 😀. Nice to know that they wrote and performed the tune! I’ll certainly look into them. Thanks for the tip!

[@MarkLindell]

at measure 31 I see G on beat 4 but you didn't play it and went right to the Eb. When I play that G it sounds correct but was wonder what your take on it was?

[@basscoverpete]

Hi Mark, I also play the G note before playing the Eb. Please mind that it is a triplet feel. The transcription (score and tabs) and the basstrack are correct 👍 Thanks for your comment and enjoy the song! If it's interesting for you: you can get over 200 transcriptions (among them 'Does anybody ') on my website www.basscoverpete.com Greetings from the Netherlands, Pete

[@HHGary]

Does Cetera really play those 8ths on the chorus? It has a bit of that feel for sure but I think it's really mostly walking quarters.

[@basscoverpete]

Hi Gary, I'm sure that he plays 8ths in the chorus. But it's a triplet feel in playing the 8th notes. So you don't hear 'straight' 8ths. But it's more that you play the first and third note of a triplet. In this way you play the first note of the triplet longer than the third note of the triplet. This gives the jazzy sound of the groove, where the accent lies more in the first note of the triplet and you just give a little accent on the third note of the triplet. I hope this will explanation will help you. Greetings from the Netherlands and thanks for your question. Pete

[@bassfiddlesteve]

You can hear what Peter Cetera originally played here. I think some of the 8th notes are actually the bass drum: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y52Tan-uobidfcU
