Sade - Smooth Operator (Bass Cover with Tabs in Video)

[@larsonabilla5066]

Thank you for the effort you put into this. You're helping bassists world wide raise their game. Cheers

[@timoonn]

If you take the video as a "how you should not play" :o His left hand technic is kinda chaotic.

[@larsonabilla5066]

Where’s you videos man? Put up or shut up

[@marshwetland3808]

@@timoonn A lot of people with good sounding videos, nice tabs, and good advice have some tense looking fingers, flying fingers, thumb over, and much more. But they can still all play way better than me.

[@musicislaw77]

You sir, are a certified smooth operator for uploading this

[@doodlesasap7894]

I’m a beginner bassist in my band and people always make fun of me for not knowing how to play most of the songs, so I just want them to stop and that’s why I’m here.

[@maurostrachwitz747]

well this is a great bassline to get under your fingers. It has everything: groove, odd feel, variations, and even a little solo.

[@kokero78]

And I can say the following: as an amateur bassist all I can say: most of people mock based on what they can’t do. Ur trying, and that’s the important!! Keep it up❤

[@thepoetmao]

​@@maurostrachwitz747bro, I'm a pro player and even I have landed on this video as I need to learn this song super quick for a show. We all are either learning, or not learning. Those people mocking you are unimportant

[@BIGeSTRING]

I now hear what a beautiful bassline it is. Great cover as usual

[@PatNetherlander]

Another great bass-walk-through Tom. I really like how wel you show us how to play. Your fretting hand is very effective and low-movement. Helps me enormously with my own playing. Thank you once again for this gem!

[@Tolbens]

Wonderful job. The intro and the bass line behind the sax in the beginning is from another space... Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@Greybeard73652]

That part at 1:38 is so tricky i mess up every time i try playing it i can’ t read notes so i play along by looking at the where you put your fingers i gave up playing the solo part it don’t sounds so good when i play it😅😅😅

[@NEMO-jb5lm]

Никита, Вы фантастически талантливы, такое чувство ритма, а здесь ещё и координация, согласованность всех ударных инструментов, не каждый профессионал выполнить столь труднуб задачу!!! Потрясающее мастерство!!!Браво!!! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Great job. I Love Paul Denman from the Sade band. He "Locks-down a Groove" - oNe LovE from NYC

You make it look so easy but it’s not easy Well done Sir i lift my hat for you❤😊

[@mongofan1]

Well done!!! And thanks for adding the tabs. I subscribed based (bassed :) ) on this one, alone. I look forward to others.

[@laming2006]

Excellent channel! Just recently decided to break out of my old bass habits/riffs that I've used as crutches for way too long... this channel is going to be a great help to get me off center and start learning/applying new things! Subscribed! Thanks!

[@ricomajestic]

These are great! Bass grooves with tab on the video! Excellent playing too!

[@marshwetland3808]

Interesting how the song switches to eighth notes, no dotted notes, before the solo and through most of the wind-down. The tension of those dotted notes has been released and there's a more easygoing feel. It's not a Latin song, but the dotted rhythm is Latin and when I think of Latin songs that I know they tend to keep the tension up, so it was just so surprising to note. Seeing your transcription helped me focus on that. Thanks!

[@Strat_Twelve_in_Pit_Lane]

Tom, thanks for all your Videos!

[@chateautemp]

Came for the rhythm lesson stayed for the bass. Great stuff!

[@pavele.6304]

1:02 : diese Triolen sind falsch glaube ich, richtig wäre ♪. ♪. ♪ meiner Meinung nach 1:54 besser wäre mit dem 8va-Zeichen, ansonsten sind die Noten schwer zu lesen Nur Verbesserungsvorschläge, danke für dieses Tutorial!

[@basscination]

Danke für die "Verbässrungsvorschläge". 4tel-Triolen und punktierte Achtel sind wirklich schwer auseinander zu halten, allerdings müsste bei deinem Vorschlag die letzte Note etwas kürzer sein als die beiden vorherigen und das ist hier nicht der Fall. Zumindest habe ich versucht drei exakt gleich lange Noten zu spielen und das würde man dann als Vierteltriolen notieren. Das Bass-Solo wäre natürlich "bässer" mit 8va-Zeichen notiert. Leider funktioniert das bei meinem Notenprogramm nicht, wenn paralell dazu Tabs angezeigt werden sollen.

[@AndreGSilva]

Nice job! I've been following your videos in a while and you always bring some nice basslines. If you don't mind me asking, which software do you use for recording the tabs along with the videos? Thanks!

Keep up the good work Tom. As a monthly patron your transcripts have been very helpful on my to high level sight-reading competency journey. I do have a question they may have already been answered in previous comments. How can I sort your video transcription playlist alphabetically so to correspond with your alphabetized transcription list? Thank you sir

[@basscination]

Unfortunately KZbin offers no possibility to sort the videos alphabetically.

[@victorbrumcalaca4958]

Hi Tom .What Kind of strings do you use in your PBass? Flat or Round? And what trademark? You have a nice tone bro.I liked very much your work ,and in last week I started to suport you work on a Patreon.Long life a your beatiful work.Greetings from Brazil.

[@basscination]

Hello Victor, it's been such a long time since I recorded this video, that I don't even remember what strings I had on my bass back then. One is sure: I've never ever used flatwound strings. From my experiences the strings don't have a greater influence on my bass sound. I've used Dadarrio, Ernie Ball and recently elixir, but never felt any major difference. It's defenitely the bass and even more important the finger technique that creates great sound.

[@iamRob1n]

Excellent! Can you do Queen of the night by Whitney Houston bass cover with tabs? Bro, seriously you are a good bassist. Good job!
