He didn't just play the song. He *became* the song.

[@bassic6959]

Starting with your back to the camera made me think you were going to pull some junior groovador moves. Seriously though awesome cover (I have watched your newer vid as well)

[@richardking4308]

Any chance of tab for the peasants that do not read music please.. Great bass tone dude and skills..

Classic case of 'Dart Hips'. Typically seen when one plays the dankest of bass lines.

[@ToonsCraft1]

Oh my god I started looking on KZbin the first day the album was uploaded and finally there are some bass covers. The bass on this track is amazing. Best cover on KZbin for this song :D

[@NicholasBoyko]

DankLizard56 ouch, i see how it is. but i agree, much better groove and way better tone on this cover. Fantastic job Drake

[@DustinDollinsShinBone]

You are seriously motivating me with the joy I see in your playing. This is my first look at this and I can tell this is gonna take some time to get down. Thanks for sharing!

[@drewbenstudio9739]

Nice technique with the double pluck into the thumb!

man, how do you get that slide after the 6-5-4 to sound that dope?!

I love when you start *feeling it* halfway through the song hahah nice one brother

[@dewinmoonl]

i saw your necc movment and i knew u could play it perfect

[@Wertical93]

Noice, was just looking for how "right-hand" works in this and this is great video for it. Props to you kind sire

[@ACTUALLYRICH]

Fantastic job dude, love the thumb picking.

[@NicholasBoyko]

fantastic cover dude. def better than mine, your groove and pocket is impeccable and I just can’t get that j-bass sound with a headless kiesel bass. keep it up, great work.

[@DrakeMartin]

DUDE you're killing it! I'm too lazy to transcribe all of those fills lol. Honestly, 50% of the tone comes from mixing, and vulf compressor. On this one I boosted the mids and put lots of comp on it. All though the jazz bass does help.

[@NicholasBoyko]

Drake Martin Thank you so much dude! Yeah, I’m still super new to all the mixing and mastering stuff. It’s hard for me to get the sounds I want from my bass especially when I want that low mid vulf sound. And the Vulf compressor probably doesn’t hurt anything either, but what an investment. Anyways, amazing job again. Love your videos dude.

[@nathandunn2985]

@@DrakeMartin Did you buy the vulf compressor ?? :D :D I would be glad to hear your feeling about it ! Really great work to you, and to Nicholas too ! I learned it by ear with your vid (and not tab :p). Thanks again for this amazing cover and KILLING tone !

[@DrakeMartin]

@@nathandunn2985 yeah I bought it. I absolutely love how it can make mixes sound. I used it on my band's first album and it really added a lot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWrCZ5RpqMRleMk

Been trying to learn this one and I’ve been struggling playing that fast octave part but I just noticed your right hand technique and that is genius! Definitely gonna try that out!

[@Grainismine]

Great cover man!

[@KiraleosAkis]

Interesting technique using your thumb. Have you tried playing at speed without your thumb?

[@DrakeMartin]

I have tried and failed. Its taken me a while do get the thumb thing down but I can go in and out of it pretty fluently now.

[@KiraleosAkis]

@@DrakeMartin Your tone doesn't even seem to be affected at all though, great job. I tried using my thumb but it feels too awkward. Also where did you have the idea for this technique?

[@DrakeMartin]

In my high school pep band we played YMCA. I couldn't figure out how to do that octave rhythm, so I kinda just made my own way. I think it's really beneficial to me now. It took me a solid year and a half to really figure it out.

[@KiraleosAkis]

Oh it's the exact same rhythm pattern on the octaves part. Iiiiinteresting, anyway great cover, nice sound, keep it up!

[@maximilianw9671]

[@ludvigthebirb7131]
