"Every Breath You Take" (The Police) Bass Guitar Tutorial And One Finger Playing"

Hey guys... I covered "Every Breath You Take" by The Police on the bass guitar. My son suggested that I use one finger when I play so that you guys can see the notes better. This song also follows a triangular pattern with some of the notes. Hope you enjoy!! follow me on Instagram / bassplay12

Thanks so much! I'm a drummer and sing lead on this classic song, but I figured might as well learn the bass part, which helped with my vocals.

You can actually slow down the video by clicking on the gear icon in the lower right of the video (settings) and then change the playback speed.

Detailed, Accurate, Clear, and just simply a brilliant lesson for the bass part to this fantastic song - Thank you Mitch and thank you to your son. Can I just add that your videos are allowing me to at last build something of a song collection and I naturally want you to do more please but obviously not for nothing. Have you thought about starting a ‘patreon’ site so those that wish to can show their appreciation for all your help and efforts?

[@bassplay12]

Wow..thanks Purple Bass!!! To be honest..nope never thought of it. I just play because I love it and the payment of kind words like yours is enough for me!!

[@purplebass6834]

Mitch you’re more than welcome.

[@CarlosRoberto-os9bs]

Great

[@ricpenaojas5933]

Great tutorial video! I'm just beginning to learn to play bass and this song is my 1st choice to learn. I came across your video and it helped me a lot! Can you pls share the backtrack you used? thanks in advance

[@bassplay12]

Thanks Ric!! I will look it up tomorrow and let you know since I'm ready to go to bed. Thanks Again!!

[@mikedwn]

An easy one to learn but adding the fill notes in the bridge really does make it pop...open E string and A string on E note, then A string B note and f# on D string - it's a short piece but really highlights the song...nice cover you did though for simplicity.

[@jasonrobinson4924]

I must suck at this I can't even keep up or get the rhythm timing whatever the fuck I'm missing when I slide my finger up to the top for the second note it makes a hiss then I keep hitting the other cord and my fingers won't move like that

[@yawfrimpong2941]

your son is right .
