Ian Dury&The Blockheads - "Hit me with your rhythm stick" (bass backing track version) [Bass Cover]

Hi! I'm Nana from Italy (born in Russia).
I learn to play bass guitar from January 2013
Enjoy! :)

[@kevinpritchard9766]

One of the best and cleanest covers of one of the best bass lines in music history, I can’t stop playing your version, thank you 🙏

[@galwaytribesman9289]

It's one of the best bass lines in the history of music. Definitely in the top 5

[@bobbysteurer]

Best bassline ever!

[@3inchhippotomous.508]

One may get something even more complicated than this but it would not sound nice to hear😉

[@Paul_VanGo]

Ever! Best audition song for the band's new bass player.

[@gregrsvr3947]

Briliant

[@Skraboing649]

One person is either jealous or a complete idiot, or both. This was awesome! You're a beast!👍👍👍

[@smokin1974]

Maybe it’s the backing track they doNot like as its not the original?

[@davidmg1925]

I wondered the same thing. smokin 74 might be right

[@gerryweir6904]

A great cover of the bass God Norman Watt-Roy's amazing part.

[@MisterMusicMan92]

That tone is spot on, god damn

[@douglasgreen437]

Norman Wat-Roy is an incredible bass player..

[@MUSICADELCENTRO]

Fantastique! ♥ Mr. Watt-Roy should be proud!!

[@davidwaddington9414]

I didn't realise the bass was so complex, I think I would have tried to play it on one string !!! Well done.

[@MsWoodgnome]

incredible skill

[@amluzia]

Absolutely amazing, not only the technical but the groove and feel too!

[@petebilling276]

That's as good a version as I've EVER heard - well done!!

[@TonyGillarno]

Oooh yeh.Love it.The tempo is quicker,making a difficult line even tougher.You nailed it.

[@stephenconlan7261]

Not only nailed it but added some. Yup one of best I've heard to date. I did only just find your version cos decided t look it up after a long time. I'll be looking for other material you've covered. Stevie.

[@nanaandreeva]

@@stephenconlan7261 thanks a lot ))) Too kind ))

[@simeonorive145]

Funky Bach! What a bass line you ate it up.

[@oliviahussey535]

You absolutely smash it.

[@kramerbassplayer]

[@danielwalker3535]

Get in there my dear! Absolutely awesome 😎 mr dury will be smiling down👊👏

[@toddbulky]

Stunning. You made that look easy...and it definitely is not! 😁

[@parlance.electricco]

You got the groove...many try, most fail, but you...got the groove.

[@nanaandreeva]

Thanks, I just didn't understand why you are talking about "many try"? It's obvious, that before you play well you have to practice and do "many attempts"

[@parlance.electricco]

@@nanaandreeva Well, Nana, in time I hope you realize that many players never have the groove, no matter how much practice they do. The groove, is a gift.

[@markvandoren3387]

Incredible.

[@edgryff]

Good cover - nice Stingray too !

[@erwin4501]

Very nicely done !!

[@budkabill]

Wonderful and delicious in performance and sound . Happy New year, Nana !

[@qmopar]

I think you crushed it - great job!

[@davidAll5]

excellent ! bravissimo

[@ednaplate]

Great playing and such a beautiful looking Stingray

[@nanaandreeva]

ednaplate thanks)) I love this bass, it's very nice and easy to play 😊

[@ednaplate]

Nana Andreeva I have two gorgeous basses; a US standard P bass and US Jazz deluxe. I’m working on this track at the moment. I may upload this and others at some point.

[@nanaandreeva]

ednaplate what track do you mean? Hit me with..?

[@ednaplate]

Nana Andreeva Yes. I’m working on the Rhythm stick bassline. I’m playing along to the original track but there seems different ways of approaching the lick at the 6th-8th fret. I’m looking at what other player do and trying to figure what works best for me.

[@nanaandreeva]

Ahh, ok, I see )) Then good luck 👍🤝 If you make the video - let me know 👍👍👍

[@gcharlesworth1]

absolutely fantastic, great tone & groove, well done.

[@barrywebber100]

Brilliant technique, very well played rendition of a superb bassline. I like your bass guitar too reminds me of some of the Harley Benton basses. Thanks for posting.

[@patricklenehan1778]

You do it! Nice job.

[@richardworthington7071]

wonderful musicianship, I wish that I was able to play it!

[@aquamarine99911]

So did I. So I learned it. Plenty of videos on here to teach you this song.

[@simonspencer3895]

Amazing 👍🏽❤

[@keithfrmcov]

Have you thought of being a session player? As you can play this very complexed bass riff. You can play virtually anything, plus you make your bass guitar sing. :) Well done Nana. I would like to learn to play the bass guitar myself, but I do not think I will get to the grade of playing you are at.

[@nanaandreeva]

Thanks, but generally I think that I'm not good enough to be a session bassist. I am not professional, so I am just happy to play at home and with my bands )))

[@stereowizard2004]

Outstanding! 👏👏

[@Colms2005]

Great work thanks

[@weneedsaving515]

Fk..me, girlfriend. That's a bloody dangerous cover...Damn Well done

[@donaldbecker4966]

Respekt!!!

[@andrewbatchelor5498]

Superb rendition 👍

[@phille05]

this is such a cool riff !

[@stevo7730]

well played, nice to see you keep your fingers close, harder to play this if you don't have long fingers :)

[@nanaandreeva]

I have medium size fingers (for a woman). For the moment I don't find any difficulties, I can play almost everything without a problem. But I would really like to have longer fingers just to play Portrait of Tracy and You can't hold no groove (just one of the parts of the song). It's a struggle to play them with small hands 😄😭👍

[@lefthanddavey2053]

superb

[@domenicotriozzi6041]

Bravissima, e che suono!!

[@paullucas9758]

YOUR REALY GOOD THANK YOU

[@gastonbaudoin2350]

Fuck yeah. Realy realy good. Amazing stuff.

[@entertherealmofchaos]

Spider Walk. Great playing.

[@macker33]

Have you done a cover of Nite Klub by the specials? Bass is solid all the way through. The live version has a little bass solo which is totally worth it, not sure about the studio version off my head.

[@-00-7]

BELLA E BRAVA - STUPENDA

[@lewisgreen1633]

Brilliant 🇧🇷👍

[@yorkshiremgtow1773]

Awesome!!

[@ElmerJFudd-oi9kj]

Well done Nana.

[@ИринаБрамс]

Нанчик, ну ты даешь!!!! Вон как пальцы бегают, как ты смогла освоить этот струмент?!

[@nanaandreeva]

Ирина, спасибо )) Я еще очень долго буду осваивать, ну, на данный момент пока и так нормуль ))

[@norbertnedsworth7172]

WOW ! Fantastica. xx

[@MikeHanleyherecords]

rock and roll!!!!

[@thiago2hogan]

Great job:)Nana!like!Happy new year!2019

[@DocRockBaby]

Holy Christ on a Bike, you sure know how to play, not only do you have timing and rhythm but more importantly you`ve got Groove ..and your right hand technique is flawless, nice Bass too, is it a Stingray by any chance?

[@nanaandreeva]

Thanks )) Wow )) Yes, it's a Stingray 💖😍🥰

[@Nazman06]

Geezus..you kick ass

[@marcusrogers6917]

👍

[@zenithoclock1048]

That is superb!! Well done! An extremely difficult bass line to play and even harder to play well. My only advice for you is relax, you got this. Phrasing is a little stiff but otherwise very, very, well done!!!

[@nanaandreeva]

Thanks a lot ))) I am always relaxed, I just don't show this 😄😜

[@idiedoflaughterinc.4418]

EPICO!.......OMG

[@wtjewell3342]

All what the others have said and foremost: great timing!

[@Lobster_Lars]

Amazing! Ever thought of covering some Khruangbin stuff?

[@mantistoboggan5171]

Heeeeellllllllllll yessssss!

[@lkeeble]

Brilliant. Who is the cover version by?

[@rfbooth]

Nailed it 👍

[@germanoricci4120]

wauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@marinabandura9640]

Супер! Интересно, кто это анонимно палец вниз поставил? Написал бы тогда, что не так.

[@timblackwood1531]

Just doing a ukulele version now and I'll upload it tomorrow ❤️❤️❤️
