An attempt at this iconic bassline. Hard rock or metal or in between? Hard pop I'd say, but the bassline is one of the best things that came out of the 80s if you ask me. And don't forget to check out… More…
Had a hard time finding the actual bass player on this. Google provides more than one, but Richard Bull seems to be it. Please comment if you have reliable info suggesting otherwise. I strongly suggest… More…
In lack of the "Easy Listening" genre, I labeled this "orchestral". The bass in this recording is played on an upright and probably lots of open strings but this version is for electric bass. More…
"Easy Listening" isn't an available genre, so I chose "Orchestral" instead. More…
The left hand positions are my best guess and how I usually play this masterpiece (and by masterpiece I refer to both the song and the bassline). Some rumors say that George played the bass himself, but… More…
The meter shiftings in this one are insanely wonderful and maybe possible to explain otherwise but I tried to retain the feeling on landing on the beat as far as possible. Comments on that are welcome… More…
Good ol' 80's metal! (Best thing that came out of the 80's, to be honest.) More…
Capo 2nd fret! Very nice and slow version to play along with. More…
A somewhat streamlined version for consistency. Enjoy! More…
In Sweden, this is called "gubb-rock" (old-man's rock) and in it's own sub-genre, it doesn't get any better than this! For some reason that eludes me, it's recorded in 432Hz, which means that you have… More…
This is a little different from how Bruce (visibly in the video) plays it but it's close enough and how I play it live. Enjoy! More…
Feel like this was recorded on a 5-string bass (Nathan East usually plays 5). This is my take on it by 4 while still getting the beefier sound from the lower strings, so the left hand shiftings might feel… More…
Skipped some minor variations. More…
This was most likely recorded in drop Eb tuning but this is how to play it without tuning down. Some minor details are missing and I might edit them in later. More…
Love the song but can't stand the original versions vocal-intonation in the choruses, so I found a decent substitute. Solid bassline from someone who's name I can't find and therefore not give credit to.… More…
I've skipped some minor details in the chorus repeats. Enjoy! More…
