- Simple Minds - Glittering Prize - Bass Cover played on my 1989 Fender Jazz Special with custom pickups by Giuseppe Carella www.carellaguit...
Bringing back the 80's sound!
Bass Cover by Guido Pietrella
Man, when I'm older, I wanna be just like this guy.
I’ve been listening to SM for 40 years so I have a very tuned ear to this, and you absolutely nailed it. I’ve seen so many bassists try and get the Forbes groove without properly understanding the feeling he is going for. This is spot on. You really understand the music and the role of the bassline. Just sublime!
Hey thank you this is really flattering! I've always loved this bassline, I'm happy trhat I could make it sound good...
The best bass cover of this song I've heard, awesome job.
Thank you Don!
How long will it take a keyboardist to learn to play bass??
@@mrrusty1965 not much, once you get familiar with the fretboard...
@@aFunkyBass superb!
Great 👍👍
Brilliant, and played with joy. Can’t beat that!
Thank you Daniel!
Watched this video 2 dozen times in last couple of months.
Phenomenal bass cover of one of my favourite songs ever.
Thank you. I'm just trying to follow Derek's great job!
Not just accurate but played with the joy and spirit of Derek F. Thank you.
Thank you Darren, I had fun as you can tell
Why?
@@donatelladelpriore3375 Why 'why?'?
You killed it brother. Favorite SM song of mine.
Thanks a lot my friend! You can tel I have fun playing it.
Loved you listening to you putting your craftsmanship in to, will definitely watch more 💯💯💯👍👍👍🙏
Well played Forbes would be proud! Derek style and the way he plays is so unique!!
Thank you Craig! I should have used a pick, but I am very bad at playing with pick! ;)
Wonderful, brings back so many memories, where is my time machine. Thank you.
Love this so much, even drives me to tears, It's so nice to see you not really being satisfied in the first few bars, but then you're in. And what's happening then is fantastic.
Hey Christian, thank you so much this is flattering! It always takes me a little while before I get into the groove, but I'm happy that I can move someone! Thanks! :)
This bass line is so amazing. Great cover my compliments
Thank you Fabrizio! ;)
Loved it....absolutely loved it !... great tune...great playing.
Thanks Darren! Great bassline.
Fantastique cover de ma pièce préférée de Simple Minds et merci d'avoir allongé la fin avec la basse en solo qui permet d'apprécier le son des cordes et le jeu. 👍
Merci Stephane! :)
Great job, a real pleasure watching you nailing this classic 👏
Thanks! Lovely playing it
Crisp,sharp,the Forbes way, well done sir. Thank you
Thanks a lot. I tip my hat for Derek
I have allways loved this song an especially that bass line. Thanls a lot for this great job
Excellent cover of one of the 80’s best bass lines, and it’s clear you are thoroughly enjoying yourself. I imagine this is how I look when I’m rocking out to this on my air bass 🤘😎🤘
Air bass is lovely! You can't go wrong with it! :P :)
What a great base cover !
brilliant ! one of the best songs ever written
Thank you Toni!
Promised You A Miracle is even better in my opinion, my favourite SM song.
wow beautiful playing and gorgeous p bass !
Thanks!
Flawless and amazing
Thanks!
Hats off sir. Absolutely brilliant.
My pleasure!
Wow absolutely brilliant cover. You've nailed it Guido.
Thanks my friend. Tha was fun
Best cover on you tube of this song. Effortless and played with true feel
Wow, best cover os probably too much, but thanks a lot for your words! :)
Gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
just awsome ..with heart and soul ....not my fav song of 'em but covering forbes is a big challenge hats off
Forbes is an killer bassist. This is probably my favourite from SM... Greetings from Italy!
You play that so well. I agree with the other comment, the best version I have seen of this song.
Thank you. It's not exactly perfect, because the original was played with a pick, but it's fun anyway. :)
So simple minded,well played my friend 😊
Thanks buddy! I'm playing with my fingers instead of a plectrum, but I'm trying to get as close as I can to the real feel...
I've always thought Derek Forbes was one of the most under rated bass players of all time!!! As far as I'm concerned he belongs in the top players list alongside Lee, Squire, Harris, Entwistle, Sting...
I absolutely second that. His basslines are simply amazing
You are an amazing player yourself my friend! Best wishes from North Carolina....
Yes he certainly was. All of the attention seemed to be on Charlie Burchill, a great guitarist,but Derek Forbes was always overlooked.
Awesome bass riff!!
;)
Great job - great song !
Thank you!
thank you - a true pleasure
Thank you!
Dit is het bass werk !!!!!!!! Geniale cover ! Perfect op de toon en klank !!!!op noot perfect fantasties weer gegeven
Thanks a lot my friend!
Brilliant. Nailed it. Bravo
And played with fingers too! Pretty sure Derek was string-hammering with a plectrum when he did this. Chapeau, mon ami!
I'm an awful pick player, so I play everything with my fingers, even though I know he originally played with a plectrum. Thanks a lot for listening!
I only play air bass but it sounds like this.
Fantastic cover. Really nice to listen so I did 3 times 👌
Keep up the practice on that air bass. :-)
Air bass is my favourite! I never hit a bad not with it! :)
Great bass line. This is perfection. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
Cool and well played!
Thank you so much!
Really great cover !
Thanks a lot!
Amo i Simple Minds, cosa dire...da pelle d'oca, bassista STRAORDINARIO...PUNTO!!!!
Grazie mille Marco! :)
You sir are a hero ,,,what a feckin bass job on this classic …….
Wow, that's flattering... Derek's the true hero! Thank you!
You are too modest ,your replica of this line is amazing ,,,faultless ,.,.well done
Esse cara é o baixista mais técnico do youtube. Show!
Wow, great job mate of an amazing song
Excellent travail 👍 bravo 🎉 et vous prenez beaucoup de plaisir, un vrai régal ça me donne envie de pleurer … 😢respect !
Mon français n'est pas bon, mais merci beaucoup pour votre mots! :)
Absolutely brilliant
Hey thank you! :)
Bravo!!!
Grazie Stefano!
Great stuff. And you’re having fun playing it. Seen other SM bass covers and the players are just playing without enthusiasm. But this was good 👏👏👏
Thanks Gordon, it's easy to tell that I have fun playing! :)
Brilliant..Bass is everything
Top man ❤
Thanks John!
Thanks so much my friend, love this song and that bass line I was captivated for, magnificent performance♥️♥️♥️greetings from Spain
Thank you mate! Song and bassline are amazing... I'm always smiling when I play this tune.... Gracias! :)
Magical - well played, Sir!
Thank you so much! :)
Excellent
Thanks!
Fantastic! I don't know who.enjoyed this more, me or you. It'll be a close heat. Thanks so much.
Ehehehe... Thanks Peter
Excellent playing! Totally in the pocket and with proper muting technique on the non-playing strings. (wish I could do that). Thanks. Watching at half-speed to learn this.
Thank you. Watching the video of myself playing I noticed that I've never used the 4th string on this song. I didn't realize it when I recorded it... :)
Seriously, that was awesome. Well done.
Thanks!
Amazing performance! Derek would be jealous! Thanks!
Well, you know... He wrote this bassline down, I'm only re-playing it... He's the one!
Bravissimo
This is on my daily playlist at the moment, party coz it’s a cracking song, partly coz the absolute joy you’re experiencing while playing this. Its great to watch and I’ve even pulled out the old bass and having a go at it. I want that joy!! 😂👍
Hey, I'm so happy that I helped getting your bass out of its case and play... Enjoy yourself!
Awesome! la migliore bass line mai ascoltata. Identica a quella del brano. Ho visto anche gli altri tuoi video. Quello di Illusione è spaventosamente meraviglioso! complimenti davvero!
Hey Vincenzo, grazie davvero! In questo periodo di chiusura cerco di farmela passare bene suonando, ma mi manca suonare dal vivo. Grazie ancora e alla prossima!
Awesome bud you look like you’re right into it too! Best bass to this I’ve seen.
Are you a musician in real life?
Thank you! Looking at myself sometimes I feel stupid constantly shaking my head and kinda dancing... But at least you can tell I'm having fun! :)
Yes, I'm a full time musician. In times of COVID live performing is just a memory, that's why I started recording these little videos... But I really miss hitting the road and being on stage
Very good stuff 👏 👍
TOCAR BAIXO PARA MIM É UMA ARTE. ESSE COVER É MUITO BOM MOSTRANDO PRAZER DE SER BAIXISTA. SHOW.
Obrigado! Da para ver que eu estou muito divertido tocando! ;)
EU ADMIRO MUITO O SOM DO BAIXO E A IMPORTANCIA DELE NAS NOTAS BAIXAS EM QUALQUER MÚSICA, MUITAS VEZES DESPERCEBIDO PELOS OUVINTES QUE NÃO TEM OUVIDOS PARA A MÚSICA. EU OUÇO TUDO NO DETALHE. PARABENS.
Derek's bass lines....mmmm so good
Thank you very much!
Waitin' for a new video
Thank you Donatella! It took me a little while, but I just released a bass cover from Sade! ;)
Comme c'est trop excellent 😍👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾en plus j'adore cette chanson des SM
Merci beaucoup!
I absolutely love this , skills unbelievable 👍👍👍
Wow, thanks.
bravo
Wow, that's beautiful, thanks for the upload
Perfection....
;)
Love it ❤
very funky!! I wish I learn to play bass so I can get the lick at 3:12 right, nobody seems to do that trick when covering glittering prize :D still, awesome style!
Thank you my friend! Actually, the three lower notes you hear at that minute are not played by the bass, but it's a clavinet instead. :)
aFunkyBass bass demos are amazing… I’m not a bass player but nevertheless I can’t fail to be impressed by all his postings :)
Bravo, j'adore vous faites revivre cette musique que j'adore depuis mon adolescence 🙏
Merci! :)
good stuff
;)
Pure quality sir 👍👍👍👍👍😡
;)
Perfect job!
Love it
Thanks!
Great, 👍👍

Love the 80's
Released in August 1982.
sei proprio bravo........
Grazie Marco!
Good job sir 👍🏻
Thank you. You can tell how fun it is.
Super playing
The best I've seen.
Do you have the bass Tab for that please. Thank you. Christian
Ciao Christian! I'm sorry I'm not good at tabs... Being an old cat, I usually use the standard notation, although I've never transcribed this on paper. Shame on me!
Suono e groove stupendo! Ottimo lavoro!
Grazie davvero! Una linea di basso fenomenale, merito di Derek!
BRAVO!!!!
Grazie davvero! Si capisce che mi diverto? :)
True talent. Well done.
Grazie Claudio! :)
That is such a a pretty bass , you are playing.
Derek Forbes..the master.
I would say like Hancock… good job ! I will cover it also, thanks for the idea
My pleasure. The original is slightly out of pitch, I had to adjust it to play it with a tuned bass.
tremendo cover, la rompiste estimado!
Grazie mille Diego!
Awesome job well done
Wow…really feelin it ! Superb !
Thank you Christian!
bravissimo gran pezzo👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Grazie Giorgio!
Excellent playing. Well done!
;)
Fantastic job!!
Thank you Nadir!
I'd love to hear you play the bass for Promised You A Miracle, my favourite Simple Minds song.
In the summertime I have very few time to make videos, but winter is long, and I promise to give it a try! :)
Excellent !
Phenomenal…magic.
Thanks a lot! :)
Great playing 👏🏼
It's nice to see,how you feel this song!
Thank you Clarence. You can tell I had fun! ;)
Aaaaaahhhhh....takes me back to the New Wave Age !
Your cover is great, made me smile all along...
Thank you so much.
P.S. : If, one day, you wish to share bass tabs, don't hesitate...
Thank you Phil. Like I said, I don't use tabs, but if I ever notate this on standard engraving I'll publish it for sure!
You nailed it!
Thanks a lot!
Great groove!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you!
Awesome ,stunning cover. Thank you,grazie mille. Derek approve 😉😂. Greetings from Italy
Thank you, grazie mille!! Spero che Derek approvi davvero! ;)
