- me playing Theme for great cities - simple minds
1 or 2 mistakes but it was the best take i got
Again no pick as i just can't get the hang of using them at quick speed so i play this with my fingers

one of my all time favourite bass lines,superbly played.well done mate.
Well done.
One of my favorite instrumentals ever.
Hi, Dan - this is great. I don't agree about the pick version. Listen to others on the site. It sounds so clicky. You have a lovely rhythm which only the fingers can support. Very, very good.
Nice Work! Some of your phrasing is better than mine..and great right hand finger work.
Cheers
ROB
you can be proud of it !
The video may be old but this bassline never gets old and you did a fantastic job. Must be great to have such talent.
thanks for the kind words!
at 1:58 its all hammer ons, so its F hammer on to G, Bb hammer on to C, F hammer on to G, Bb hammer on to C
at 3:50 its mostly the same just extended,
F hammer on to G, Bb hammer on to C, F hammer on to G, Bb hammer on to C, F hammer on to G, Bb hammer on to C, Eb hammer on F then quickly pluck Eb again and back into the progression.
Agreed about the pick, i've been meaning to go back over this and re-post with me using a pick as I've gotten better with them
Dan awesome playing bud. Keep the postings coming? Kudos to you my friend.
ur good! keep going! keep doing what ur doing. It'll take a while till u get what Derreck does.... you have to own the song! You're not owning it....not yet. But you will. Keep going!
An excellent version.
I think if Derek Forbes needs an understudy at a gig ... ;)
really well done! this bassline is one of the big ones und you play it fantastic.
Amazing. Great playing, and loved watching this. Thank you.
You need to reshoot these in better quality video. I watch these now and it's just way too blurry.. Thanks again I love early Simple Minds bass!
Excellent, really nice playing. Proficient without getting cocky. Im trying to reengineer this song and youve isolated the bass nicely for me to learn. cheers and good luck.
Great! This video is quite old already. How do you look like now?
Bravissimo!!! Suonare un pezzo così con le dita e non con il pletro è da maestro!
Nice work fella!
Very good job. That is a tough bass line, man.
note perfect mate
Dude! That's great!
Simply excellent :)
well done, class!
GREAT SONG
Woah!...simply awesome.
Great cover man, and that without a pick? Derek Forbes plays with a pick. Great how you play it with your fingers.
fair play dude !
cheers - would love to redo this but learning a set list with a band at the mo so no time to re visit this! Hopefully will do once I've learnt them all!
great
dan...did derek play this with fingers or plectrum???...i know total anorak question..lol.
Very good
💯💯💯
cool love that song-how ya get the 'watch in high quality' option?
who do you thingk you are???derek forbs???brilliant
I might well do soon. I haven't played it for a while so i will possibly do all the sections slowed down alone to a metronome and have the tab that i made underneath the video. I'll let you know if/when its done.
Parfait 👍
Very impressive, lookin everywhere for the tab
well i've just started looking for a band to start gigging so hopefully ill be in one soon!
Cheers ;)
What is great cities - simple minds, movie ?, serie ?? game ???
and the music is cool and you is very good !!!
brilliant !!
Thanks !
Thank you.
Yea its a pretty dam good instrumental!!
Hi, great cover, really like how you play. Please could you also play it slowly, at least the beginning, I am beginner and have difficulties to get it.
In any case thanks a lot for posting it! :)
ha thanks!
Yeah i can do this standing up as I have my bass at a height where it makes little difference whether im sitting down or standing up, not stuipidly high though!
Also if you want to check out the band im playing in (70's/80's rock covers) search "1927club" theres quite a few there.
If theres anything else you need just ask :)
Cheers
no sorry. Down in wales. Cheers for comments
add "&fmt=18" to the URL in your browser is to make it better quality.
