Listen to the Music - The Doobie Brothers - Bass Cover - Request

[@Bamainjc]

Always loved that little fill at 1:28. Tiran Porter very underrated. Another classic cover !

[@BassCovers]

Hey Gary, I like that lick too. Variations of it have been used in so many songs...and there's so many ways to play it. Thanks!

[@muziekblogkoesters6306]

Thanks a lot. Great song and playing!

[@BassCovers]

Thank you very much :)

[@NothingWasEasyTilNow]

Another solid spot-on one Greg. How can ya not love this Tiran Porter bass line, picked no less.

[@NothingWasEasyTilNow]

Plus an all time best inner album cover, lots of staring at it while listening as a young lad.

[@BassCovers]

Cool...I can remember those days too. Not with this album, but with others for sure...miss that.

[@BassCovers]

I keep being surprised at how many songs were recorded with a pick. Thanks!

[@2qwertyman]

Killer playing and transcription, Greg. You’re such a joy to follow, and your work is impeccable. Love it! An inspiration! Thank you!

[@BassCovers]

Wow, thank you very much :)

[@robertklein6693]

This is one of my favorite go-to fun songs to practice. The rhythm is everything and you absolutely nailed it!

[@BassCovers]

Hey Bob, you're right, The rhythm is everything! Have fun with it :)

[@yurizhivago4848]

Great video. One of my favorite bands. I like seeing the written notes in action and your fingers corresponding to them. I never knew how complicated bass is until I started watching this young gal : Ellen plays Bass on You Tube. She is quite the prodigy.

[@hobbayne]

Wow! Thank you for posting

[@BassCovers]

My pleasure...thank you :)

[@lilmelvin11]

EXCELLENT!!!! Thank you. Learned a lot from this. Very focused Bass patterns.

[@BassCovers]

Hey Terry, thanks man. I'm glad you found it helpful. Definitely, it's not a "jammy" type bass line. Focused, like you said ;)

[@Defmusicman1]

Love it! We both play it the same way. Took me almost 2 weeks to learn to play this song. It was a big deal for me.

[@BassCovers]

It's not an easy song. Good job :)

[@mimiDchi]

Joyous! Song for me. Happy Friday!

[@BassCovers]

Happy Friday Mimi...have fun with it ;)

[@ZPX945]

[@Mr_Fretbuzz]

Love it Greg. Great choice. Well done

[@BassCovers]

Thanks Steve!

[@tortolita633]

Masterclass.

[@BassCovers]

Thanks :)

[@lilmelvin11]

Nice! Nice patterns I didn't notice before. Tiran Porter did sneaky and subtle Bass playing that was valuable to the songs. Playful Bass....

[@BassCovers]

He's a very nice bass player. Playful bass. I like that :)

[@MrSparks54]

Good stuff Greg, I've heard lots of bass covers but practicing from the transcription is what I really enjoy. Thanks! Cheers from Utah

[@BassCovers]

Cheers! Thank you and have fun :)

[@ligiabonfim8814]

[@badidou69000]

hi greg, I knew it because I played it with my old band, thanks for this reminder with a nice bass line.

[@BassCovers]

Cool, glad you like it Abdel.

[@brandonkew9122]

Superb job

[@BassCovers]

Thank you :)

[@lilmelvin11]

Great looking Bass

[@BassCovers]

Thanks :)

[@AB-bg1or]

I suggested this 3 years ago to our band and they laughed at me. Now another member suggested we play it and here I am.

[@BassCovers]

Cool...have fun with it :)

[@SusanYoung-ww8zt]

Awesome. I love it, but just starting out with bass, so will probably be a while until I can manage it. I would love to see a cover with the transcription/tabs of Rock Your Baby by George McCrea, but I'm not sure if it's challenging or cool enough for anyone to bother with.

[@BassCovers]

Hi Susan, I like that you're giving yourself time to learn ;) I'll have a listen to that song...thanks!

[@BassCovers]

Thanks!

[@michaelroberts5801]

awesome!! what kind of strings would you recommemnd when it comes to classic rock sound? thanks!!

[@BassCovers]

I've always used round wound strings. I used Roto Sound for a long time, but then switched to D'Addario. I hope that helps...thanks! :)

[@michaelroberts5801]

@@BassCovers yea same here with the RotoSounds! I started to back with GHS BOOMERS again but i will give D'Addario a try Thanks!!

[@luisrodriguez8639]

Perfect timing though I didn't like the sound, I hear the bass better when playing with the fingers, not plastic nails

[@BassCovers]

well...it's a good thing there are different opinions and tastes. Otherwise life would be pretty dull ;)

[@kiko23ful]
