• Bon Jovi - You Give Lo...
(Isolated track, sounds like fingers)
0:12 - quarter note slide into the riff
bar 6 - 3rd fret is held til next measure
bar 10 - stacatto first note, long last note
0:31 - ties beat 4 of bar 14 to the first 8th of bar 15 and does that pattern thru the verse
0:56 - has grace note 8h10
1:04 - beat 1 of bar 32 is 16th notes, like I Tabbed in the live stream
1:13 - arpeggio at end of measure indicates position stays low on neck, not high like I tabbed live
1:21 - quarter note beat 4 of bar 40, not 2 8ths
1:26 - bar 43, rests on last beat before bar 44 (pre verse)
2:08 - bar 65 down beat is full length and not shortened (like bar 69)
2:28 - bar 75 beats 3 and 4
2:38 - 16th notes at end of bar 80, then quarter down beat of bar 81
2:57 - confirms my rhythm in bar 90
3:13 - bar 98 tie
3:19 - beat 4 bar 101
3:24 - beat 4 bar 103
• Bon Jovi - You Give Lo...
(rock hall induction 2018 | obviously tuned down from Studio for Bon's voice)
1:37 - Hugh Mcdonals, Jazz bass & fingers
1:46 - Hugh at start of chorus, fret hand visible. looks like frets 3,4 and shifts to 1 not 6 for Bb
2:49 - chorus, 5 string jazz, fingers, confirms frets 3,4 1 type fingering
• Bon Jovi - Livin' On A...
(Hugh, 5 string jazz bass, fingers)
6:06 (far)
6:33 - expected positioning, not using 5th string
6:54 - 3rd fret (matches my tab)
Lots of quick shots for general positioning
• Bon Jovi - You Give Lo...
1:21 Alec, P-bass, and looks like a pick on a 4 string bass
1:29 - pick w/ p-bass
1:59 - near frets 3,4,6
2:02 - same
3:21 - doing a fill into the dropout chorus
• Bon Jovi: You Give Lov...
2:55 - hugh, uses 1 not 6
4:42- same
• Bon Jovi - You Give Lo...
1:15 - p/j bass with a pick
2:41 - holds note (kramer bass)
2:58 - 6 not 1
3:59 - on E, not 1 on A
• Bon Jovi - You give lo...
1:38 - Hugh, same as before, but Telecaster bass
• Bon Jovi “You Give Lov...
(Howard Stern 2000)
0:30 - Hugh with a p/J bass, sliding into pre verse with frets 3 & 1 on A
2:22 - good shot of hugh on his normal fingering
2:39 - another decent shot in solo
After looking at live videos, it looks like Hugh and Alec fret the chorus riff a little differently.
Alec used a P-bass with a pick, Hugh uses a Jazz bass with his fingers. It's hard to see any shot of the bassists because of Jon and Ritchie being the focal point of the camera (as expected).
If you have small hands or the one finger per fret that low hurts your hands, then fretting like hugh would be easier for you.
Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)

My wife doesn't play bass, but likes to watch these videos because you seem so happy and she loves your attitude. I know it's a bit cheesy, but she wanted me to tell you that.

[@SO-ym3zs]

You're the man! Another great transcription, as always. More hair metal, please. Kix, Cinderella, White Lion, Skid Row, Tesla, Y&T...
