Awesome so happy to have found tabs of this,not surprised you've found this too greg such a great catalog of covers

[@BassCovers]

Thanks very much :) Ya, this is a great bass line to learn by Ed Motta. Have fun with it...thanks!

[@hadenbaillie1833]

@@BassCovers those open strings make it bit tricky to get that timing,what an excercise

[@BassCovers]

Yes, it is a little tricky spots, but take your time and try to have fun with it. You'll get it ;)

[@MrFg1980]

Beautiful. Love the electric bass.

[@BassCovers]

Thank you. Me too :)

[@nicacrush]

Well done. Ed Motta has so many good basslines! I'm glad you discovered him. His uncle, Tim Maia, was even more famous in brazil and also has some incredible grooves!

[@BassCovers]

Thanks a lot and thanks for the tip. Can you recommend a couple tunes for me to check out? Thanks!

[@nicacrush]

@@BassCovers Oh man , there are so many it's hard to decide. Some of my favorites of his are on the double album he released called Racional in 1976. He had joined a cult and gotten sober when he made that double album. It was some trippy stuff but not his most popular in Brazil. 'Do leme Ao Pontal' is like an anthem in Rio. Great groove. He did some songs in English too, one called 'Brother Father Mother Sister' has an amazing bass line.

Linda música do Ed Motta!! Lindo baixo!!👏👏👏

[@BassCovers]

Hi Viviane...thanks very much :)

[@isaquesarahtanabe4338]

O Ed disse q foi ele msm q escreveu essa linha e o Robinho "apenas" executou...

[@BassCovers]

cool...thanks for the info :)

[@ssstylish2681]

Ed sempre faz tudo nas músicas dele, só as letras que em sua maioria são escritas por outras pessoas, ele elabora tudo e só chama os caras pra tocar

[@tandersen25]

Thanks Greg! Another awesome one!

[@BassCovers]

cool...thank you Thomas!

[@tandersen25]

@@BassCovers oh and I have a request! Nights on Broadway by Candi Staton! Heard it for the first time a few weeks ago and love the bass in it! Not seen any covers anywhere else :)

[@marioguarini]

[@BassCovers]

Hey Mario, thanks man...I appreciate it...cheers! :)

[@petbadger]

Another great job Greg!!! I think this one will take just a little more than sight reading for me. LoL. Another very good song that I had never heard before.

[@BassCovers]

Thanks very much. hehe...not your typical "sight reading" type of song :) Take your time and have fun with it...thanks!

[@ignisikk]

Great Job Bro! 🤩👏🙌

Thanks man :)

[@samchurchward2599]

This was a workout to play along to! If you want another toughie, please consider Scorpio by Dennis Coffey. There's a terrific, funky bass solo from Bob Babbit in the middle.

[@BassCovers]

I'll check it out...thanks!

[@StepHelBass]

Замечательно! Благодарю!

[@BassCovers]

You're welcome...thank you

[@diegoalves4942]

Spectacular, beautiful! I recommend you listen and add to your music list to adopt the same procedure as you do in the songs, (Ivete Sangalo - Abalou and Acelera Aê). This bassist is a reference here in Brazil. Search for the studio version for these two sounds. Thanks.

[@BassCovers]

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out!

[@josealbertocostaj7314]

Show !!

[@BassCovers]

Thanks!

[@Leo_prado]

Hey, regardless of the bassist in the og recording, Ed Motta wrote the complete bassline firsthand.

[@BassCovers]

Yes, I've heard that too. Thank you.

Hello Greg, as a total beginer on bass guitar I find you to be an educated Phd in Bass music plying. So far I am strugling to get a grasp on this masterpiece, I ask myself how do you perfect the vibrato at B7 chord segment and get the sound so smooth ?

[@BassCovers]

Hello Avigdor, thank you for the comment and question. The A on the B7 chord is either a "shake' or a "trill". You can decide which feels and sounds best for you. I have to tell you though, if you're only a total beginner on the bass, this song was too advanced. You should pick something easier and work your way up. I fear you may be spending valuable time and energy on something this is far above your skill level. Small steps....thanks :)

man this one is tricky with it's use of open strings

[@BassCovers]

it is a tricky little line. Open strings can be your friend ;)

[@owlperchedsilo3745]

i hear it's not Motta playing the bass.

[@BassCovers]

No, but I think he came up with the line?

[@owlperchedsilo3745]

@@BassCovers, that's true but who is playing bass? that i am having trouble finding .

@@owlperchedsilo3745 It's in the description - Robinho Tavares

@@BassCovers, aah, didn't see that.

[@insanidadeEspelhada]

i think this play is too much "by the book". notes are on point but it lacks groove.

[@BassCovers]

hmmm, I'm not quite sure I know what you mean? Maybe you could show me or demonstrate?
