Tips And Comments:
- Playing Technique: Played next to the bridge for fingers and next to the end of the fretboard for slapping. Middle strength. Neck pickup, full tone
- Gear Sound: Added some bass and a bit of treble
- About The Song: Nice line to play along and practicing some intermediate slapping parts. Slapping should be very tight and controlled. Transcribed from studio version with help of live videos

Always loved this song, but playing along adds a new dimension, the bass line is so unusual but really makes the song

[@oliverpedersen6818]

What do you think is unusual in this bass line? It seems fine to me and i'm curios to hear your thoughts

[@gooble69]

@@oliverpedersen6818"What do you think is unusual in this bass line? It seems fine to me and i'm curios to hear your thoughts" I noodle around on guitar and bass, but am not really a musician, so when I hear a song without thinking about how it's constructed, then learn to play the song and find all the little detail you never realised existed, it gives you a new appreciation. In this song, the bass is very syncopated and irregular to the melody which gives it a great feel and reminds me of something Nile Rodgers said, it's the notes you don't play that are just as important as the ones you do.

[@saulgoodmangaming8075]

I love he can make simple harmonica sound like a song. Miss you David Bowie.

[@mrbungle7586]

Remember learning this 20 years ago. Haven't played it for years. Great cover, now I'm going to play this again. Cheers

[@VAL3NTIN3]

Upload videos !! I just started listening to Mr. Bungle , just recently. Amazing band.

[@8polar]

Stuck at home with CoverSolutions yeah !

[@douglasharwood513]

Love your covers, tabs and comments. Always been a big Bowie fan, in particular the amazing bass lines. Thanks

[@ProgrammedForDamage]

A great song to practice slapping and popping to because the tempo isn't frantic but it still keeps you on your toes.

[@georgiacanty6517]

I absolutely adore this song! Thank you for covering it!

[@666Musik]

I was just listening to this and heard the groovy bass line and wondered if you had a vid of how to play it, thanks man!

[@CoverSolutions]

BECOME A PATRON TO GET SONGS/TABS: www.patreon.com/coversolutions I just got myself a Di Box, i think it helped on some of the sound clarity and richness, you let me know if you hear a difference. As always, leave your questions on the comments!

[@konungredocsil657]

CoverSolutions It does sound slightly better. A little more cleaner and richer.

[@DontTazeMeBro876]

it definitely sounds noticeably better

[@zachpurcell8119]

Definitely more clear. Easier to here each individual pluck

[@gooble69]

Is this the trick? I've been playing along with your videos for years, I even have the same bass, but mine always sounds duller and muddier by comparison. Talent aside, I was wondering if there's some other magic going on to get that crispness

[@blackmage8126]

Such a beautiful song 🖤⚡Rest in Peace Bowie⚡🖤

[@donkoppel]

Well done!! One of my favorite basslines. Spot on!

[@Hans_Hamon]

My Friend, you absolutely killed it. Well done! Thank you!

[@Pogokoala]

Wow a very unusual song to learn from David Bowie. thanks for the upload and it was refreshing to see this. can we get Sister of Mercy - This Corrosion? ?

[@TheGodParticle]

One of the reasons I decided to learn the bass, incredible. thanks.

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

Feckin awesome... you just improved my live looping set by a billion percent... thanks man!

[@ngstigator]

great choice! this is surely an underrated song and your cover makes me appreciate it all the more.

[@barrysmithjr2749]

One of my favorite songs ever by Bowie.

[@jawknee4088]

i swear, the word "underrated" has lost all of its meaning. this is one of his best known songs.

[@phillynott1060]

People always say that non underrated songs are underrated, everybody knows and loves ashes to ashes, let's be fair.

[@mrbungle7586]

Lol, this song is so NOT underrated. Not sure how you come to that conclusion. One of his best, very well known, among so many great songs in his amazing career.

[@F3502000]

What a great song to help learn good bass technique! 👍

[@krakenturdz]

Perfection as always. Thanks for helping me learn 😎

[@mharclerode]

Cool song!! Fashion is another great bassline off this album. George Murray also played bass on Whitesnakes biggest album.

[@danielpalmersofficial]

Slap bass lines are my favourite, there’s just something about them that makes them damn catchy. ✌️😙

[@MatiasStratoFender]

David Bowie - Sound and vision!!!

George Murray - a forgotten bass genius.

[@loganroselli9087]

He dosent play bass anymore

[@5roundsrapid263]

Wow. This is my favorite Bowie song, but I never realized how easy it is on bass.

[@mattenojd5221]

my favorite too.. the bass is simple but yet amazing in this song :)

[@Piaia-fk4ju]

GREAT!!!

[@adamblue1575]

Could you please do a cover of American Pie I can't find any good videos or tab on it and honestly these videos help me better than anything, I've been playing for almost a year but it's been on and off and now I'm a lot more serious about it and me and my friends jam all the time we got 2 guitars a drummer and me (the bass) but American Pie is one of my favorite songs so if you could it would be so much appreciated.

[@malachiwilcox]

Can you do a cover of Malverde by Red Fang or In My Kingdom Cold by Immortal ?

[@Duke151000]

I'd like to see Love Machine by The Miracles. I didn't see a lot of covers for that.

[@raulcastaneda432]

could you play China girl by David Bowie

[@cameronardon1184]

LET'S GOOOO

[@igrieger]

Hi there CoverSolutions, until now many versions of "The man who sold the world" from Bowie are on KZbin, but none is similar to the original from 1970. I guess, it is time for a PRECISE version from CoverSolutions of that EPIC. I would very much appreciate that and many fans would too, I am sure. Cheers! Saludos!

[@aaronkelly4255]

really nice.....my 4003 thanks u

[@dennis3951]

ANYTHING Tool related would be one of the greatest things ever

[@moopinboopin]

I'm pretty sure he has already done a few covers of Tool songs.

[@andresmoose9717]

Can you do, Shine On Me by Dan Auerbach?

[@SidDARKtha]

Please do Space Oddity!

[@1lapmagic]

INFINITY! Proton CANNON!!!!

[@User-es2yz]

Can you do a cover of a song by The Band?? Maybe The Weight or It Makes No Difference

[@nwahsnworb9220]

I can not believe you haven't covered one Iron Maiden song it makes me sad! Steve Harris is a beast on the bass seriously .. anyways nice playing .

[@tyr.4252]

i know this is like a completely other genre, but pleeeeeease please please do a Regular People by Panera bass cover :c even the tabs on Ultimate Guitar say that the solo parts arent 100 percent accurate. Thank you if you get to this comment. huge fan of your videos /m/

[@patrickzakher7668]

Great playing and very easy to follow! This bass line is so incredible. I admire the person who created it in the first place. By the way, how do you add the partition so nicely on the video? Is it a Playalong player native feature?

[@CoverSolutions]

that's with some video editing software, thanks!

[@patrickzakher7668]

@@CoverSolutions Could you give me the name of such software please? I'd be interested to add this to some of my videos.

[@jeffhoms3634]

hello, thanks for this video in the intro, just before the Ab, you use an E, on the Bbm chord to joint the Ab. do you sure is correct, a F or Eb would not go better?

[@CoverSolutions]

It should but i probably heard an E at the time on the original recording

[@daaaav4122]

somebody can explain me what is this (³4) in the tabs???
