Mark thank you for this and all your lessons.I'm a 65 yr old bassist that's played for decades and in many bands.And though the Ox is my bass hero, for one reason or another I could never get this solo down.You have helped me check off a bucket list wish and I'm having a ball with it.Your lessons are wonderful and I'm proof that one is never too old to learn a new trick or two. You're a gifted teacher and player. BTW I was lucky to meet and talk to John after a sound check in the mid 90s and he autographed my first bass,a 60s Vox that he got a kick out of seeing.I treasure it, and the memory.
Can I please just stress the fact that I’ve gotten so much better at bass thanks to this guy 🖐...seriously this guys is a great bass teacher love his content thank you mark much appreciated..if I could ask for a song break down..aeroplane by Red Hot Chili Peppers solo and all..not the most complicated but very sick grove and solo
Awsome to see this. Entwistle was the man who made me want to play bass Its important to note that he improvised this solo every show. So you can mess around with it a little
Mark, you are so generous to share all the teaching content that you do. I also loved your videos on playing bass on a cruise ship. So good! Thank you taking the time to make all these videos!
B C bend C B and so on! I tried to get this for years MY Generation!!! Everyone has it from B and then sliding up to C and back instead! OK... you've got me again! I just wish you could do... and slow enough to actually see The Who Real Me or Who are you when you can. No prob. I love it, it's just hard to see sometimes. Richard
For years I've been playing this....... incorrectly in some places... now I see the error of my ways. That three finger plucking is what I get right. Thanks Mark , I enjoy & look forward your tutorials. Great stuff !!!
Once again I tell myself I'll just have a quick squiz and get back to work and once again a couple hours disappear... but I come away that much further along in playing, and just musically richer for the experience - as always, thanks mate
Couple things here: this solo reached its peak on the Smothers Brothers version, prerecorded in studio then mimed during the broadcast. The bass is crystal clear, no bum notes, and a little more complex for good measure. Later versions are pretty sloppy. Also, John plays this solo differently every time, with fingers or pick. Finally, using a pick enables you to get the muted picked verse two-note modulation John plays under Roger's vocal. Just some stuff for people looking to expand on the basic version of the solo.
There goes another hundred hours of my life. Mark I just loved this video lesson. Just gets me more motivated to continue my lessons with you. Keep going
I have only been playing bass for a little over 2 years and guitar for 2.5 which I would say is my main instrument. But Mark is a great teacher and ons of only 2 I follow currently. This song is very doable. If I can do it with my short experience, so can you.
Entwistle was a truly consumate musician in a very old school tradition, he went a bit 'mutton Jeff ' in his left ear towards the end from having the amps behind him,he was a freemason and bought a huge mansion in the country to host his guests, he met Hendrix who wanted him to be his bass player which would have been awesome but of course John was already contracted to The Who so there was no way he could have joined The Experience as well, man if he had he would'ave been pretty busy that day at Monterey , Hell he'd 'ave been playing in both bands [competitors ], HIS collection of guitars and basses was legendary,literally hundreds stacked away.He had his own recording studio in the mansion and he had his own solo projects which were good but never as good as when The Who got together whether with Keith , Kenny or Zak...Zak Starkey really fits in well on drums with the Who...check out live at The BBC.sONGS LIKE '905,' and 'My Wife' outstanding....he started out as a guitar player much like Noel Reading and then switched to bass......The 'My Generation 'solo is iconic people didn't realise it was a bass solo at first they though it was a normal guitar solo! I've never seen anybody break down this solo so well before, you must have put in a lot of time to perfect those lines, man it would be such an honour to jam with your good self at an open microphone jam session , if we ever get to have those again....anyway , I've subscribed and I'll pass by to check out some other instructional stuff from time to time even though I'm not really a bass player ..just a standard 6 string Strat guy ! All the best.
Thanks Mark for another must watch information session;one of the reasons i love the bass so much was because of the hypnotic riff in had to cry today by blind faith plus the killer version by joe bonamassa,ihave the tabs but can not for the life of me get it to sound right.Ifyou could help I would be forever grate full.All the best Bob
Great bass solo! Have you ever listened to Rancid? I know, probably not your style, but Matt Freeman is an incredible player. Out Come The Wolves - Maxwell Murder...check out his bass solo!...Matt learned by locking himself in his room, and listening to John Entwistle, among others.
The thing I love about playing this song is that Entwisle improvised so much that even when you 'miss' a note, you can still play whatever you want over that basic idea of what he was playing.
Thanks for the help but one thing: could you do it split screen? left side picking hand, right side fret close ups please? It would really hammer it home! Thanks
Im already subscribed, and I like, as far as comment I want to sound like everybody else. a Kiss arse. Lol. Suffice it to say it's refreshing to hear a REAL music teacher and a BASS teacher at that. Niiiiice :) Im 65 years old, I started playing accordian at 10, went to Piano at oh 15, then to Guitar and ended up on bass at around age 20. I KNOW a good teacher when I see one. Im sold, and GREAT lesson by the way. Great solo taken apart and explained in an understandable way. Lots to practice here. Love the 3 finger stuff. Thanks and gl with your music courses. Peace.
This is NOT a criticism, but rather an observation: the solo that I’m most familiar with is from The Kids Are Alright film & I think it was on the Smothers Brothers show. You have the notes right but your phrasing is off just a bit. He plays it a bit more outside the confines of the beat so it has more of a jazz sensibility to it and it sounds a lot looser, which worked perfectly to compliment Keith Moon’s drum antics. If you ever have a few minutes, play along to that version and you will see what I’m talking about (hopefully). You already have the hard part worked out, which is learning the notes. Now have a little fun with it and see if you can match that feel. Awesome video, of course. Bravo! If you ever do another one of his songs, I would suggest The Real Me off of Quadrophenia. I think that’s even better than this song.
As ever a great lesson and well explained. My guitarist has just suggested this for our covers band. I’ll have a go. Genuine question. I play with a pick as I’ve always alternated between guitar and bass (I like both) do you think it will work with pick? I’m a massive maiden fan and Steve Harris bass lines just don’t sound as good with a pick IMO - I’ve tried loads
It's basically just a highly embellished walking bass line. I found it easiest to learn by first learning the on beat notes first and then adding the embellishments after.
for us that can't read music please do an open e so we can tune to your bass 🙏🙏🙏 or the top string, not sure what it's called 🤔 because UA-cam videos may be a little fast or slow changing sound
Check out the solo Matt Freeman plays on The Rancid Track Maxwell's Murder off their And Out Comes The Wolves album! BRILLIANT he is uses a pick on this song and you will hear why.
Mark, I love these break downs of these classic songs. But just a comment for those you do next: If you don't yet know that G is the 5th fret of the D string then you are probably not yet ready to play like Entwistle. Just call the notes. Just sayin, : )
Andy Gold There are plenty of people like that actually. In a perfect world I shouldn’t have to read out the notes. Players should be able to read what amounts to primary school level notation. But they generally can’t and I don’t make any assumptions of levels. It’s a comparatively simple line that’s good for intermediate level rock bass players (that are notoriously bad at understanding ‘notes’) More importantly, I have a large following of blind bass players that often comment and email on how the guided breakdowns are perfect for them.
@@talkingbasslessons This goes to the heart of my questions when I first signed up. From a local bar band’s perspective, what’s important? On one hand, its acceptable that players can not even find a G; and on the other, Module 1-8 in Chord Tones just gave 7 new arpeggios to memorize. These things seem to contradict each other.
Andy Gold That’s the difference between free UA-cam lessons and the courses I create. The UA-cam videos are merely ‘entertainment’ lessons for the widest possible reach (every bass player). So I don’t make any assumptions and provide content that would only work or be of relevance on UA-cam. The website courses are more in the ‘serious’ category. Progressive learning strategies aimed at those wanting focused study. That’s why everything is dumbed down here to some extent. I tried explaining that to Jeff Berlin who sees bass education as one whole thing that should be taught in one strict and focused way. It’s important to know this more for entertainment. It’s not music college like the courses.
@@talkingbasslessons Mark, I take your online courses as well, and I appreciate the less serious content. It's like a brain break and keeps me motivated to get back into the more rigorous study.
Super mark, thanks. I remember learning this (incorrectly) for a cover band and one night it was coming up and my mind went blank, the band all indicated me to the audience and I just played nothing. So embarrassing.
Whenever you see him play that solo, or of course variations on it, he a) always SLIDES up and down, not bends, and b) he goes almost all the way up to a whole step on those first and especially the third line beginnings.
The worse thing is bending on the g string as you are pushing it away from you. On the other strings your pulling it so much easier. Can I play this riff???? Well no and perhaps the speed is what is going to stop me from doing it.
this song was written in A....The single is in Ab which would suggest that the group had detuned half a step to Ab. The official Who songbook explains how Townshend liked the effect of the open A string sounding against the fretted G on the 6th string.That's the essential essence of the song...it modulates up through B , C and finally staying on D for the exrended finale, feedback distortiob , solo etc......your video is not much use because guitarists will want to play it in A precisely to get that nice juxtaposition of the open A string and the fretted G on the 6th string..........you've missed something vitally important and you'll have to redo the video again this time in A otherwise bass players are gonna be showing up at seessions and for sur the guitar player will strike up in A and the bass player won't be able to play it in G , he'll have to istantly transpose everything up to A. D o you what I'm saying.You're an excellent bass player and teacher but you made a fundamental error here regarding the key of the song rendering your video only marginally helpful because guitar players will not play it in G it just doesn't have the same effect or impact...Townshend knew what he was doing and wrote it in a for som very good reasons which I have already alluded to.Good luck.
TJ ZEN This is a technical breakdown. Any bass player worth their salt should be able to transpose this on the fly if needed. Songs are played in a variety of keys in band settings. Whether they use altered tunings is irrelevant. Any bass player wanting to play this along to the original needs to play it in G. This isn’t a cover. It’s not an Entwistle fanboy lesson. We’re looking at it as a vehicle for working on fingerpicking. Any breakdown I do is intended as a vehicle for working on an area of playing. Oh and just so you know. The original is actually played with a pick. But look. I’m not using a pick. Why could that be? Have a think.
I JUST WENT TO' the Who Live 1965 reeling in the years,youtube' and you can clearly see at the start Entwhistle holding his hand at the 5th fret position , it's clearly starting off in A , definitely not G , no way.Sorry , what a shame because your clearly an excellent teacher and player but really one needs to do a bit of cursery research and make sure we're teaching these musical lines in the correct key for the song , don;t you think....I mean would you teach 'Voodoo Child' , 'Whole lotta love' or 'Hey Joe' in any other key than E ? of course not they just have to be in E and guitarists know why , because that's how they were written and played originally, and that's not rocket science !

He never really played it the same way twice. He'd play it sometimes with a pick, sometimes plucking it. I've seen him play it a couple of ways.

Yes, I've noticed also to a great extent John alters the solo frequently as you noted.This example though works for me and I'm thankful for it.
There goes another hundred hours of my life. Mark I just loved this video lesson. Just gets me more motivated to continue my lessons with you. Keep going
haha, there goes another hundred hours, Lol, good one. I know the feeling.
Cool, I've got a jazz bass with tape sounds, one small problem it's fretless. I'll give it a go anyway. Thanks for the lesson.
Very useful lesson. You offer so much more than just The Ox' line. Thank you.
Awesome as usual. Most of what yu teach is beyond my meager skills, but I really appreciate the craft of it. Thanks.

I'm going to save money and buy everything you guys offer. You are so good at teaching this
Would be fun to see a cover of Steve Priest's version on Sweet's album Desolation Boulevard.
Love it how all Bass players have the same fascial expression.
The thing I love about playing this song is that Entwisle improvised so much that even when you 'miss' a note, you can still play whatever you want over that basic idea of what he was playing.
