It’s one thing to play this tune even remotely close. It’s another to play it, tab it, write the music, and 100% nail every single articulation that makes this song sound as cool as it does.

[@ThreeLeftOverCrest]

Your plucking style is unique

[@dewinmoonl]

Nathan I cannot thank you enough for making this. There's another tab video on youtube but the fingering is not as natural as this one for me. I've just got my bass 2 weeks ago and I'm practicing this nonstop every day. (I played classical guitar for long time before) I first tried to clap my hands to your playing / tab to get the funky groove down in 0.25 then 0.5 then 0.75 then 1.0 speed Now I am trying to follow playing along the notes, again, first at 0.25, then 0.5. I'm currently trying to play it at 0.75 speed the most difficult part for me was the funky rhythm and moving up the fret-board as the spacing on a bass is quite larger than that of a guitar. I hope soon to able to play this song, maybe I won't have the stamina for the whole thing but definitely the intro until the end of the first breakdown. When I managed this song I'll upload a video here and link you. Again I just want to express my gratitude of you making this. It really really helped me out.

[@gb-wx3dv]

I can relate, but after awhile the bass strings are much more comfortable more than a guitar. You'll get it

[@rendrag13]

I’d love to see your personal interpretation of a 1975 song. Great work as always man!

[@michelecattani2077]

[@LunatiqueRob]

Interesting that this is not the first time Nathan's uploaded a cover of the same song that juliaplaysgroove just also uploaded, and we get to compare the two different approaches. In this case, Nathan's ample experience as a professional bassist and also his stamina immediately stood out, as Julia really struggled right off the bat with the relentless 16th note intro section, being much younger, with less experience, and a lot less stamina.

[@Cfb8402]

Nathan is incredible. I think his channel provides a lot of content for the bass community that Julia’s doesn’t, and he posts a lot more often. But she’s a whole different animal in terms of creativity. Some of her original arrangements are legitimate masterpieces. But everyone has their own tastes and preferences. They’re both outstanding.

[@LunatiqueRob]

@@Cfb8402 Yes, I love both. In another cover they both did, I preferred Julia's version, as Nathan's got a bit too flashy and didn't fit the song.

I started out self taught, and a big game changer I learned once I took lessons was to use the rest of the hand to support your ring/pinky when fretting with them. Makes it a lot easier to keep pressure on the string without fatigue.
