My Sharona - The Knack bass cover

[@bohs1984]

People who don't play bass don't appreciate how tough it is to keep such a simple song like this right on the beat for the entire song. One missed beat and the thing collapses. Well done sir. Songs like this and Jessie's Girl and Jenny Jenny are REALLY easy songs to figure out the notes and are GREAT songs to get your timing down.

[@seisen410]

Jeff Isles agreed. This was not an easy song.

[@Aprilmaedchen2001]

Jeff Isles I don't and can't play the bass, but I highly apreciate it, because for me it's the instrument that forms a song the most, it has rythem and melody in it's participation in the song

[@f8at]

To play constantly octaves and moving up and down the bass is not easy. For me is difficult not to tap the string moving on octaves.... is not easy at all... and as you said. Out of beat in one line and the song is ruined... the bass is the base of the song, what makes it so distinctive.

[@JR-zv6qm]

Francisco Ochoa - you couldn't be more right. Nile's was a very tight bass player. Averre get's the glory with that immense guitar solo but it's because of Nile's bass playing.

[@cometface]

I totally agree with this. I played this song many times live, but you and your drummer are going to be hurting by the tail end of this, even if they don’t want to admit it ;)

[@hettel_visual]

Such a fun bassline!

[@scottmurphy650]

Perfect cover. This is not a simple song to play, to be sure, and you did a great job. This is still one of the most kick ass songs for bass ever written.

[@paulschlotfeldt3640]

Great work. Super fun bass line 👍

[@jjfrombaroosh]

Great work, and nicely recorded - well done!

[@sotirislantas2447]

very good job! just on the first shape instead of F try F# and it will be perfect!

[@clinke2007]

I second that. It seems to be a common mistake I've seen a lot of players make. Other than that, very nice job. Good rhythm, good tone.

[@Dillonabney5]

that should win an award for "most badass bass lick in the world" nice job

[@johnnyoldham847]

[@MultiLemon95]

Je vais apprendre a jouer de la basse maintenant !!

[@wiccan15963]

[@duke8gr]

question: how didyou record? top noch sound quality and performance!

[@matteorighi4700]

Grande.. con l'Eko MM 300.. ce l'ho anch'io!!

[@olivebass7090]

un bon titre pour derouiller les doigts! pas si simple..;je vous recommande un titre des blues brothers "she caught the Cathy" tres fun a la basse!!

[@x04b]

how do u do the little "improvisation" at 2:40. u slide 3/13, but after i don't recognize. could u help me please ? otherwise, very good cover dude ! u really help me with this video !

[@keklordgrey4522]

nice finger usage... I don't use a pick either...

[@Pogokoala]

My corona!!!

[@Sonkurra]

It would be aesome if you could send me the tabs for this!

[@john-zf8ig]

I can play this but i need to work on playing it more smoothly. I started playing bass in Late august 2015

[@AlessandroPelle]

@duke8gr Thanks man, in my channel page you can find all the info; anyway in this video just bass --> zoom b2.1u --> pc.

[@davidcomelli]

Is this clean through the zoom or are using an affect?

[@AlessandroPelle]

David Comelli clean, then the Zoom Ampeg sim

[@giovanna8048]

I think this is the great baseline to learn for beginners like me..

[@paulschlotfeldt3640]

If you can play this , you're not a beginner. This is advanced bass line bro

[@TheOibaf93]

@MegaBassPlayer97Gr if i'm not wrong is a fleabass :-)

[@matthewmcsherry2719]

I'd love to learn bass.. and I actually have 2 basses that are my dad's. But they are right handed guitars, while I am left handed. :/

[@rekindled3624]

Many left handed guys actually play as if they were right handed. The point is that you're gonna move your hands like you never did before, so whether you're right handed or left handed doesn't really matter

[@razvysme]

Soo not tru, maybe in the beginning yes, but when getting to more complex stuff, u really want the best hand u can get to play the rhythm in time.

[@rekindled3624]

Razvan P How many people told the exact same thing to Jimi Hendrix? That's not how it works bro

[@razvysme]

U realize Hendrix played with his dominant hand, right?

[@rekindled3624]

Razvan P I was referring to the fact that due to that he had to change the "standard" guitar technique quite a bit, but it wasn't challenging for him because he did it since the first time he played guitar, it was normal to him, just like it would be normal for a lefty to play any instrument like a righty from the beginning

[@markellis4880]

He has the main riff WRONG. This bass player is sliding up from F to G but is should be F# to G. There are a number of videos of The Knack playing My Sharona live where this can be confirmed. Clearly the original player is sliding F# to G.

[@sarkdouls9182]

Is that Fleabass?

[@BennettBogan]

its a musicman stingray

[@matteorighi4700]

Eko MM 300

[@matteorighi4700]

Eko MM 300

[@BRO77TX]

Ok, so this is clearly the simple way to play this riff/song...which is the best way. However, why is it that I see some players are playing the A and G strings?? Which is more accurate, technically speaking?? I obviously like your version better!!
