- This is song was quite a big challenge. The first part consists of me playing the supporting bass line. Then at about 2 and a half minutes in I'll start playing the solo-line. I made about two or three mistakes in the solo-line. I'd like to mention that, since the solo-line is very hard to cover in a perfect way, that I did improvise a lot but did play some of the most important licks in the song. Enjoy and give me pointers when needed. If you have any suggestions on songs I should cover or perhaps want me to cover a certain song, do not hesitate to ask.
I'd also like to thank my good friend David Hartwig for making the recordings possible.

Never knew how funky this bass line was, great job my dude. Thanks for highlighting this masterful bass artistry courtesy of Mr. Entwhistle.
Big Entwistle fan and bassist here, you played the solo very well, but what stood out to me was the right hand technique: you got it down! The hand angled at about 40° from the neck, the fingerpicking/tapping/popping hybrid, the harmonics created by the fingers hitting the high frets, that's the Entwistle way!
Yeah, but to be fair you sort of do that ajtomatically when you try to copy his sound. It's a very enjoyable playing style.
He's got the same bored expression as Entwistle haha.
In deed, this gentleman has skills. He looks like he's gotta take a dump.
Oh that's his game face. Every musician has one.
@@Magnus-t4j so true my friend. Catatonic...near madness or taking a dump in his diaper!!!
@@gregsutton6701 sounds like you're fixated on people taking dumps
A Young Ox😊
this kid did more than just the justice to this song. His playing is flawless. He literally walked in the dark right behind John Entwistle, he stepped exactly where John stepped. He knew the foot steps a little too much, he knew John.
Not literally.
I think we should call this kid "Little Thunder Fingers" - he's that good! At least, on learning this song by ear. Get some shades, kid - your future looks bright!
There are no tabs really, I just listened to this song a bunch of times and played along. That way I could play along with the big lines a bit. The rest was mostly a little bit of improvisation.
Is that a joke?? Jesus.
John is to me the best bass player ever and you did a great job especially for your age.

very good job coming from a fellow bass player this song is not a easy one, you nailed it though, like your playing style too so natural ,
Dude, i love the way you strum the strings. The sound you get strumming like that is awesome. Keep practising and you´ll be an excellent bass player, in the way of Flea, John Entwistle and (why not?) the great Jaco.
Greetings from Argentina
RIP Thunderfngers
Fuck dude... That killed.
Dude, you kick royal ass.
Good job dude, sounds great!!!! Entwistle will always be the best:& greatest person/individual musician that could EVER have possibly happened to/& within the ENTIRE Genre/& History of Rock n Roll music. He's also one of my biggest influences as a "Bass Guitarist"!!!! Over the years sooooo many incredible, & talented bass players/& bass guitarists alike have inspired, & influenced me to the extent that John Entwistle's influence on my current personal playing skill/& playing style isn't nearly as obvious/or as prevalent as it was for me during the first 5-6 years playing Bass. Starting from when I got my first bass, and began learning all that I know today, & took a turn to make my life/& career be the one of a musician (Bass Guitarist/& Singer). if you saw/or heard how I play right now you probably wouldn't think Entwistle is one of my big influences, & inspirations, but he most certainly is, & always will be one of my top 5 biggest personal influences as a bass player. Along with Roger Waters, Geezer Butler, Bob Daisly, Krist Novoselic.
P.S. You should post a bass cover of Pink Floyd's song Pigs (3 Different Ones), off of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals, & try to pull it off 100% PERFECTLY/& FLAWLESS. Pretty unique licks/fills/& runs all around the entire neck, as well as just a great, funky, & interesting bass line the whole song through. Take care bro, keep up the good work, & never stop being a "Bass Guitarist"!!!!!!!!!
Well done...one of my favorite rock songs, partly because of the bass line. Nice job!
Needed to learn this for a jam thing. Your video was the most instructive of the many on YT!
Between the wonderful people posting "bass along" videos and the "Amazing Slow-Downer"
program you can learn anything! Boy you kids don't know what it was like in the olden days -
playing the record over and over and over to pick up a bass line 😁
Doing the "authentic fingerboard tapping" ala Entwistle is great.
Excellent job. There were very few who could match john entwistle who i think is the greatest bassist ever.
Again you did a really good job.
For sure. Can't name a lot of bassists nowadays who actively match his style. It's a very specific type of playing that only works in certain musical styles.
Thanks for the kind words folks :D
fantastic job! that is a very difficult song to play and a tribute to the great John Entwhistle for all of his fantastic years of play. Your hard work is appreciated!
Dude seriously, well done. Big Props!
Very nice. Learn the live version from (can't hear bass as much as I'd like too) from the Toronto concert in 1982. That was nuts!
At first I was like "what is this?" but by the end thoroughly enjoyed it. Great playing
bloody great playing
So So So So Great
Really good job mate. There's a lot of downward slides after each of the licks when the song is at the C# section. You might be missing these because they're at the same time as the snare hit. I slide down from the A string's 16th fret (C#) as the snare hits, and when the song goes to C the slide is from the A string's 15th fret (same note but one octave higher). Not taking anything away from you, it sounds good. I play it differently every time.
Very good job! I'm learning this song in order to play with my band and your video is helping me a lot!
Very impressive. Entwistle set a standard that few can emulate, but you have done his work justice. Keep Rockin!
Great playing. I didn't fast forward to the solo. Wanted to hear the build up to the solo. The action sounds nice and low on the neck too!
Incredible seeing the lads fingers dancing over the fret board just like a baby Ox...... Keep loving the who fella and spread the joy and thunder......🤪
You rocked the solo. It's not a mistake its your interpretation. Two thumbs up!!
I think it was Jimmy Page who said about playing live "If you make a mistake do it again and everyone will think you planned it that way."
So true
You has majik in that right hand, Brother. Much many bravos!
Entwhistle was almost just doing a bass solo wasn't he? :D Well played lad. Good tone as well.
Nicely done. I used to be a bit of a hack drummer back in the day but my next choice would be bass guitar. IMO, Entwistle was in the top 3 greatest bass players all time. Only behind Geddy Lee and Chris Squire.
geddy ahead of john huh. I agree they're both all-time greats. It's so tough for me to choose one or the other. is there a particular reason you'd put geddy ahead of john? Just interested because it's such a close comparison to me.
@@thedoctorroth No offense intended towards JE- Rip. I suppose my bias would be because I’ve been a Rush “nut” since the late 70’s when I discovered them, and have seen them live 6 times. And I mentioned Squire because I’ve done my share of Yes exploration, although never seen them live. I recommend the full show when they played Lugano Jazz Fest Switzerland in 2004, full concert is here on YT. Also, Lee and Squire have a bit of a “connection” in my mind. When Yes was inducted into the R&R HOF, Squire had passed and Lee was chosen to Induct them and also play with Yes for the short live set at the induction. I’m just more familiar with those bassists. As I said, no disparaging Entwistle. You said it perfectly- they’re both (or all) to be recognized as “The Greats.” (And moving to Jazz/R&B, Stanley Clarke is no slouch either- School Days)
@@thedoctorroth After our discussion the other nite and some long overdue research, I’ve “rethunk” my rankings. I still maintain that Lee, Squire and Entwistle are top 3, but I have moved JE to the top. I’ve just taken him for granted, that he was always “back there” and providing solid bass all the time. I now see he was WAY more than that. Thank you sir for bringing it to my attention.
I really enjoyed listening to your cover !
In the process of learning this myself... Great job!
Nice job. If you want some more challenges, try "Xanadu" by Rush and "Heart of the Sunrise" by Yes
With massive respect from a fellow Bassist to another...Tomas...as we say here in the states, that was sick sick sick!! :). You rocked it my friend, I loved it. Inspiring to me to give that song a try. Thank you...
Only been playing a couple months and wish I had skill like this guy!
Nice job, ese! Very impressed.
loved this.
Nicely done!
Your right hand action reminds me a lot of Johns style of playing .... well done young man !!
James Beabout hey thanks, appreciate it. I did try to.copy.his 'typewriter' style of playing. It produces a very unique sound.
Great cover. The right energy, bravo.
dude this is amazing- i'm using this vid to learn this song myself. Best cover on youtube. Keep it up! start a band bro!!!
EXCELLENT!!! you nailed it!! I didn'T noticed the errors yet so :)
Some tend to think the Squire line of Fender goodies are somehow less in quality than the rest of the more expensive stuff. In the 80s I had a Squire Strat that was actually the best quality guitar I ever had. Was a beautiful guitar and as easy to play as can be. Good stuff.
+Steven Painter Yeah, for sure. Bought it about 2 or 3 years ago and still one of the best buys ever. I think it's mostly because of the Duncan pickups.
Heck Yeah !!! Love it !! John played bass his way !!!! Great playing !!
Ok. It's been seven years,how good are you now?! 👍🏻
Haha, not a whole lot better. I still play a lot but not actively trying to become a bass god. Just wanna play what I like and enjoy it. Thanks for the comment!
@@theoneafternineonine You're clearly a talent. Emulating John isn't easy. Glad you're still rocking.
Man, you are simply a genius. Im playing this on repeat!
great performance man.
Oh, so good. Just so, so good.
This sounded awesome man! Really good playing
Awesome work! Congrats!
Absolutely killed it.
FANTASTIC!
Speechless, such an amazing interpretation dude! Rock on
Awesome playing!! just like the Ox........I would like to suggest what I think is quite an interesting bass filled song......."A view to a kill" by Duran Duran
I'm a great John Entwhistle fan and a Who fan. I think you've done well in getting his sound and it's close to what got. It seems you're using a 5 string Bass? Perhaps you could go over how to get his sound, your example shows you need to master your technique before you go buying expensive guitars. Many guitarist are abscessed about buying their heroes guitar before they can even play. I think give a good guitarist one guitar and a good amp and a few effects and he or she will be able to get most guitar and bass sounds without having to spend an arm and a leg on equipment. Thumbs up, keep up the good work :) Here is some poor playing by me, I'm a huge Paul Weller fan You do Something to me - Mark McGlashan
Good playing, bro. This is a tough one but you nailed it.
Very very impressive!!!!!
hot damn this is actually the first time i see someone playing like john. good job
Nice job ! I'm glad I checked this bass cover out .
Best bass cover of this on UA-cam.
Awesome job 😎
Excellent! Really good natural playing!!
Excellent!!..Well Done Sir
One of my favorite instruments. You killed it dude!! Loved it. Send me your first record.
Not too bad, son! Your a Contender!🎸 STRIVE TO BECOME AS LEGENDARY!!
Interesting technique, nicely done.
bad ass playin bro!
Great Song !!! Brings back memories !
Well done young man .
Well done, everyone loves the bass line in this song, but we can't play it. The drums are easy, the bass not so much.
i can't imagine all the effort and time you had to put into doing such an excellent cover! It'd be gret to see you play the One World bass line by Dire Straits. It's a really fun and amazing piece to play. Let me know if you already heard it, and what you think about it!
+Siham Bsn Hey, just checked it out. Seems pretty nice. It took some practice to play this piece, but it was alright. I'm not currently planning to post another cover, but I will at some point.
Thanks for the comment!
I plan to learn both eminence front and one world. my 2016 challenge! your video's gonna help im sure
did you down tune your bass for this one ?
cheers
Siham Bsn No, it's a five string so I could just keep it in regular tuning
right, and youre lucky to have it. i have a big cort bass thats really hard to play on, belonged to a male jazz player, so as a female rock enthusiast, i can say the struggle's real haha
yo im just curious, do you have any tips to get that "typing" method right ? Enty explains it in his master class, but I dont get it.. any help would be welcome!
It doesn't take a lot of practice. I just picked it up by watching videos of John Entwistle playing live. It's really similar to slapping, except you do it on the neck and with your index- and middle finger.
Great job. We need to see more of this on American Idol!!!
Well done. Thumbs up!
Skills that kills! NICE!!
F*** yeah man! Nailed it.
Well done that was excellent
I'm also a fellow bass player & you play this well
This was really good! Great job!
Amazing playing
Have you ever noticed there are 2 different bass lines for this song? On Amazon Music they have the one that you're playing. But here on the UA-cam version, its a different recording of the whole song. the first half of the solo is the same, but at some point he starts playing somewhere hing much different. Which one is the original release?
Great job!!!
Great job kid! Keep up the hard work!
Nice take on a great song!
Good job!
It means a lot that you would say that, thanks. I'll certainly check your channel out.
Nice job. Keep at it.
You kick ass young man !
Nice job.. Why are you tapping vs pick/fingerpick?
It is the way John Entwistle played bass most of the time. He used to kind of 'tap' the strings like that, creating a special sort of sound.
That means a lot to me man, thanks a lot
Nice playing.
very nice job on the solo.
bloody excellent!
I have the same exact Squire 70’s Bass 👍👍👍👍👍😎😎
That was fucking great! Thanks for posting.
good stuff !
Amazing job. Before you no one had even attempted a cover. Quick question. Is this song in an alternate tuning? And how would I get around using a 5 string with this song?
I didn't change to an alternate tuning for the song so I think not. If you want to play the supporting bass line (so not the solo one as you see me do right at the beginning) You would probably need to tune down your E string accordingly so you can play the low note which I believe is a C# if I remember correctly.
theoneafternineonine thank you very much for the input. Keep on Jammin'. And long live Entwistle
Out of sight but not out of mind :D
3:05 what he is doing is slaping the bass but with the index and middle fingers? Thats how he gets that sound?? Or he is playing normally but very close to the neck?
It's more in the technique of tapping the strings with the tips of yours fingers and making themgive you that thumpy sound. It's not necessarily playing close to the neck, you can just experiment with that to get a sound you like.
@@theoneafternineonine thank you
This is crazy good !!!
