New Year's Day by U2 - Bass Cover with Tabs Play-Along

[@malicant123]

It's such a simple bass line, but it's a brilliant song. Early U2 music was superb.

[@darknimja]

So many of their early songs are just eight repeated notes on bass case in point; With or without you. It's really great for learning and I think that's what the band was doing in the early days learning and getting better and better. There was a quote from a journalist who saw their first performance; "The singer can't sing and the band can barely play, but they've got something" (my paraphrase of what he said)...

[@joeyhandeland983]

I always loved the bass in this song. I remember as a kid hearing this and wishing I was the one who played bass on it, haha!

[@ZPX945]

I love all the early U2 songs! They are such a great band. :-)

[@alainbeliveau4123]

Very Beautiful song and awesome bass guitar. I love Adam Clayton bass guitar player.

[@darknimja]

I find the positioning of my head and neck and where I am looking is the hardest part of trying to be Adam Clayton.

This a perfect interpretation of this song. You could not have played it better. Thank you. I was in 2nd semester freshman year HS listening to this with my mates getting ready to go meet girls. Your fretting and notation are wonderful. Peace.

[@Brand73]

Thanks for the kind words! and yes this song has really stood the test of time.

Another amazing video! Keep em coming. Any chance of getting "while my guitar gently weeps" by the jeff Healey band

[@Brand73]

thanks! That song would be probably get blocked since the Beatles have the rights.

[@stephanelacroix9426]

Magic line few notes but goliath fellings! thanks to U B73

[@Brand73]

not sure what you are saying!

[@detetiveluke]

Easy peasy, sometimes the simple is the better

[@dougtull4594]

Instead of tuning a half step down, can you just play it a half step down? It sounds right to my ear.

[@Brand73]

Yep that would work.

[@dougtull4594]

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

[@luizvalladao1343]

👏👏👏 essa afinação e padrão?

[@Brand73]

Tuning: 1/2 Step Down (Eb Ab Db Gb) Tuning details are listed in the upper-left hand corner of the video throughout the entire video. It's also listed in the description of the video.

[@RickRamirezAZ]

Did you tune down a 1/2 step for this song?

[@Brand73]

yes I put the tuning in the video in the top-left corner and it's also in the description.

[@PatJennings95]

Shouldn't be necessary though, I've played it through in EADG without issues :)

[@andrewworrall4302]

If you listen to Sharks by Imagine Dragons, it's the same bass line?

[@Brand73]

Not exactly the same, but extremely similar, good call.

[@andrewworrall4302]

@@Brand73 thanks 😊

[@andrewworrall4302]

@@Brand73 maybe can you do a bass cover of Sharks and show where it's different? That would be epic

[@editvarga1650]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hneYlKtnl8lgarMsi=fDbjuTzjmE2Ar15t which is the correct one?

[@Brand73]

Mine is correct, I didn't watch the link you posted, but I know all my videos are accurate.

[@encantador1714]

the live from Germany is where the bass sounds better

[@marianaferreira5943]

This bassline is a half tone above the song.

[@ssstylish2681]

Ele tá meio acelerado mesmo ksks

[@Brand73]

you need to tune down a half step .😄

[@ConcertJunkie561]

No, U2 tunes down half step.
