one of my all time favorites!!! not only do you play a mean bass, you have excellent taste in music but then again most REAL musicians do. great cover man. I love them because it really highlights a lot that is lost in the final mix.
love it..a little different from the norm. just wondering if you ever get a chance 2 of my favorite bass lines are ....call me friend by kenny loggins and stevie nicks and.....2 come on come over by jaco pastorious....always look forward to your new vids....big fan
+TJH3113 is that a sunburst Geddy Lee Signature? Damn. This was one of the very first songs that I learned to play bass on as a 10 year-old. Good shit. I still wish I had the '65 Jazz Bass (with lollipop tuners!) & Acoustic 360 amp/cabinet that my mom & dad bought me for my birthday/Christmas back then. I can't believe that I traded it for (Jesus, I'm so friggin' embarrassed) a B.C. Rich Ironbird bass. In Neon Green, no less! At least it was an older U.S. Model. Why am I still tryin' to justify it? I needed the shit smacked out of me for that. But, that was the 80's for ya.
That's quite bold of you to choose a jazz bass for this lol. I just thought of this today and wanted to see if you played it. This was my first record I owned I still remember it. It was 1977 I was 4 yrs old lol. Funny how songs from the past just pop into your head lol. Merry Chistmas 2020.
This was back in simpler times when I had 3 basses, so it was a natural choice. I'm glad the song brought back some old memories. Take care and stay safe.
Again, this sounds better than original recording. I may find out a way to record these (ALL of your video bass covers) to my device so I can listen in the car or anywhere. It would help my bass playing/learning.
Well,despite me NOT being a Bass-connoisseur by ANY means........to me,the bass here,sounds really good and blends well with the rest of the music!!! Just an opinion from one of your honest viewers here!!! Lol. Good Job Troy (as ALWAYS!!!)
Sounds like you're favouring the neck pickup a bit more on this one. The deeper tone is really nice for this track. It's funny how essentially simple this song is, but the extra finesse really adds to the groove. And, after all, this song is totally about the groove. Very enjoyable indeed!
Hey Tony, this tune made my list for songs that aren't that simple...8 chords , full key change in chorus . Elton's songwriting almost always has full scale key changes and double the average (4?) amount of chords...
Irma Rosyada It's been a year since your comment, but anyway. In my opinion, there is no lateness, you can only move forward. In short, don't hesitate; Music is magnificent and playing it is formidable.
I emailed your buddy that sells those thumb rests before Christmas and I have yet to hear from him….I'd really like one…please ask him to check his emails or to contact me through TH-cam…thanks!
Hey awesome tone and feel! Would you be up for a TH-cam collab? Chris Johnson and me are looking for talented musicians who want to cover "Airhockey Champion of the World" by Phil X and the Drills with us. If you are interested just let me know and we will get in touch for details. Greets Felix

Even the monsters behind you are in awe of your talent and your taste in music.
😂
Flawless cover as usual.....a fun line to play that one.
Great tone, deep groove…love your work mate…liked & subscribed!
Thanks so much!
Sweet! One of my all time favorite songs! Superb songwriting skills for sure. Great playing as always.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Well here here we go again. Thanks Troy!!

Man... you're really awesome!!! Good job.
SCAPEPILOT Thanks.

Best tone I’ve ever heard, proud of you man
I’m glad you liked it, thanks!
Nicely played. You can tell the audience loved it.
Thank you. They usually do.
You can just feel the love in the air!
Right?
GREAT!!!!!
Thanks Jeremy!!!
Man, your Geddy Lee jazz has THE TONE !!! Excellent playing, as always !!!
This one is a little deeper sounding than the black one, but they both sound very similar.
Nice! I sang this duet with a classmate at our Law School graduation party :) Top notch as always, TJH!
Thanks. Very cool. Did you play it or karaoke it?
TJH3113
oh it was just karaoke... but she had a great voice, we tore it up if I do say so myself :)
@@ifutureman sounds like a real kick
You are awesome
No, you are!

Thanks. I've done "Whenever I Call You.." but have never messed around with any Jaco.
Whenever I Call You Friend Bass Cover
Great job! I half expected to see you sporting some over-sized heart-shaped sunglasses and lots of sequined spandex. :-)
Thanks. I dressed up like that for one of the earlier takes but it sounded bad and looked even worse.
TJH3113 yeesh!
toca muito ótimo groove
Muito obrigado!
Haha, perfect for valentines!
That's what I was thinking.

muito bom super fera...Brasil...
Muito obrigado.
You got it! And while you've got a romance-love-groove-thang goin' on, how about Earth Wind & Fire - September? * Sparkly outfit, optional :)
Thanks. That's a good one too.

Dee Murray played Jazz Basses, just not this type tone.
Again, this sounds better than original recording. I may find out a way to record these (ALL of your video bass covers) to my device so I can listen in the car or anywhere. It would help my bass playing/learning.
I don't know about that, but thanks. Help yourself.

🤘
Do you have any more Elton John covers on the way? This rules!
Nothing on the way but I've done " Saturday Night" and Elton's version of "Pinball Wizard."
Awesome, he always has interesting bass tracks.
Philadelphia Freedom has a great bass line and I would LOVE to hear Troy cover this one!
Well,despite me NOT being a Bass-connoisseur by ANY means........to me,the bass here,sounds really good and blends well with the rest of the music!!! Just an opinion from one of your honest viewers here!!! Lol. Good Job Troy (as ALWAYS!!!)
This was the best out of a number of different recordings.
could you do the bass cover of Nikita?
Sounds like you're favouring the neck pickup a bit more on this one. The deeper tone is really nice for this track. It's funny how essentially simple this song is, but the extra finesse really adds to the groove. And, after all, this song is totally about the groove. Very enjoyable indeed!
I rarely do any pick-up blending. I think I just backed off the high end a little.
Thanks.
Hey Tony, this tune made my list for songs that aren't that simple...8 chords , full key change in chorus . Elton's songwriting almost always has full scale key changes and double the average (4?) amount of chords...
something to do w his classical background me thinks..
Was that a slight smile I saw on your face?
haha very cool
...don't you EVER make a MISTAKE??? 😜👍❤
Yes, usually the first 100 times I play the song.
@@TJH3113 haha...good to know you are HUMAN like me; it takes me at least 200 though...you certainly make it look easy brother 😄

thanks

is it too late to learn bass at mid-age? how can one catch up their "lateness" ?
Irma Rosyada It's been a year since your comment, but anyway. In my opinion, there is no lateness, you can only move forward. In short, don't hesitate; Music is magnificent and playing it is formidable.
I emailed your buddy that sells those thumb rests before Christmas and I have yet to hear from him….I'd really like one…please ask him to check his emails or to contact me through TH-cam…thanks!
I'll forward this message to him for sure.
What can of set up did you use on that recording? Amp, pedals, strings? Love that punchy J-bass sound. Thank you for being an awesome bass player. :)
I have a video titled, "How I Record My Videos". That might be a good place to start and we can go from there. Thanks.
Great, I will check it out. Cheers!
Is that tab you learned from available?
No, I'm sorry, but I play by ear and memory and do not have any tabs for it. If I did, you would be welcome to them.
Hey I have a question. How many basses do you have???
4.
TJH3113
Cool beans man.
Could you do a tutorial vid?
I have a long list of songs to do before I could do this one. Sorry.
Esse pegou direito..
Você acha que? Obrigado!
Tabs please
Tabs please !
I play by ear and memory so, unfortunately, I do not have any transcriptions. If I did, you would be welcome to them.
Like!
Thanks.
Hi, do you perhaps sell those masks?
Hello. No, I just collect them. Most of them are from Death Studios.
Hey awesome tone and feel!
Would you be up for a TH-cam collab?
Chris Johnson and me are looking for talented musicians who want to cover "Airhockey Champion of the World" by Phil X and the Drills with us.
If you are interested just let me know and we will get in touch for details.

Thanks and sorry for the delay in responding. As far as the collaboration, thanks for asking but I find that guy supremely annoying and wouldn't be interested in paying any sort of tribute to him.
TJH3113 No problem, man :)
Maybe we can get together on a less annoying project for you.
Let's stay in touch.
Cheers,
Felix

Well it's missing two strings, first of all ;)
