Why does no watermelon man cover ever sound like the album

[@ebassguitar]

Which version are you referring to?

[@skaterdude7277]

@@ebassguitar it took me 10 min of searching to realize that the headhunter one is almost a completely different song

[@luccarodrigues781]

I've seen great covers of both the "Takin' Off" and "Headhunters" versions.

[@DiegoRamirez-sv4pb]

The passing notes are very cool

[@ebassguitar]

Cheers!

[@squiggypopstudios2401]

Dude you're a pretty good bass player but the title is not correct for this video. This is not watermelon man

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks for the compliment. I’m curious what you mean? How come this isn’t watermelon man?

[@wolfgarthefirst5735]

@@ebassguitar I believe he has only seen watermelon man from the headhunters album and was looking for that version of watermelon man

[@aweik4937]

This is a different watermelon man (the original), the one I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of is the one on Headhunter, and since you can only write tabs in yt comments here you go (timing in the gab is a bit off but you’ll figure it out pretty fast haha) --------------12-13-14 ----3---------11-12-13 ------------------- -0h1-----------------
