To all you aspiring bassist out there. I recommend improvising different arpeggio structures over the chord symbols and don't just play the tabs. Look at the chord symbols and think 1 3 5 7 scale degrees of those chords above each bar. On beat 4 before changing to the new chord it is acceptable to play a note out of the scale, so play a half step above or below (doesn't matter) to the new chord.
Definitely good advice but I'd add first to learn it the "structured" way. Once that foundation is laid, then the creativity can begin on a solid footing.
“before changing to the new chord it is acceptable to play a note out of the scale, so play a half step above or below (doesn't matter) to the new chord.” Not that it matters much, they called the out-of-scale note "approaching note", that is, the note approaching the next chord.
I personally recommend 1. learn sheet music and how it corresponds to the bass 2. Learn basic counting 3. Learn you 1 octave scales 4. Play some stuff to get better 5. Learn your 2 octave scales 6. Now that you know all of that you can look at the key signature for any song and just go for it and play on
I'm a percussionist, taught treble but also need to learn the bass cleft for Timpanis, also because I play bass in my band, I understood that it was the treble, but one whole step down, in other words. EGBDF - FACE is treble, GBDFA - ACEG is bass. I used Music Racer, mallets Note Names, level A is basic, really simple treble, B is kinda harder, but only adds accidentals and some basic ledger lines, C (last level) pretty much jumps like 6 things you should learn lol, if A and B where using training wheels, then C is operating a plane, you have 4 minutes to answer 13 notes which range between accidentals, bass and treble clef, ledger lines going up to 6 bars high, It's insane, but once you manage to crush it in a minute, you can practically recite the entire bass and treble clef with maybe 1-2 ledger lines above and below the measure without really questioning it. Don't quote me on anything I said though. It's just helped me, maybe you are a different kind of learner.
I listen to it since a year, finally I cna play it. Still such a pleasure how you do your magic. Thanks for the extra lessons and what you do for the scene
Thanks a lot for these tabs they have really helped me work on my sight reading and ability to play without looking at the neck and it is a beautiful song
Ok Im 100 percent using this video to learn this song. I like how you palm muted the bass guitar to make a more authentic upright bass sound. Very good. Been a fan of your videos for a while now.

Honestly I play guitar and I can never find a good lesson showing all the chords for this song. But even though this a bass lesson he has the chords on the top which is really helpful for me.
Appears to be all palm muted *except* for that open E at the E7flat9flat13. Keep up learning bass dude! I couldn't think of a better way to spend a quarantine!
Hey Gianmarco! Yes, I'm palm muting nearly everything on this one to emulate the sound of an upright bass. You can play it either way though. :) As andrewK pointed out, I didn't mute the open E at measure 52 for added sustain.
@@NateNavarro Muchas Gracias AMIGO! I´m trying to learn this "kind" of bass songs at this time do to my bass player level. thanks again for the response! means a lot to me
Wow what a pleasure watching you sounds perfect looking at tab I couldn't see atomactly where the notes whent it makes sense now I have watched your video Thank you I have seen other videos of yours and wondered when your thumb goes over the top of the fretboard are you actually playing that note on the E string ❤ love your pick playing takes time to master that not everyone plays with a pick It gives you a different tone and your speed is greater I like using a pick it gave me more freedom To have whole songs played with tab is a gift thank you for sharing your talent This is my 6th year playing bass no experience of music before in a band and enjoying it I am in my own world when I pick up my bass To have the help out there is great music is such a wonderful pleasure weather you play or not you can join in ❤
will you do more walking bass covers? really need help getting my walking bass vocabulary going, everything Ive done up until now sounds like im playing a practice rutine.
Great cover/lesson as always nate! Really appreciate these videos. BTW do you have any instructional videos on how you include the score and tabs. I would like to record what I learn and then be able to tab/score it out to see how it compares. Thanks in advance!
This walking bass line is super well put, but now, but when it starts to get exciting at the end with that 3-3-6-3-3-5-3-5, it abruptly cuts and the music ends. Is that a feeling that just I have?
I need an answer asap pls: does this line ever loop? Like without analyzing the line it seems hard to learn, and gotta remember it for tomorrow. Btw great cover
Excelente material, para mi es de gran información. Toco bajo, pero no domino la lectura, sin embargo es de gran ayuda. Muchas gracias. Saludos desde Honduras.
Hey Nate, Thanks for teaching me this song and "Dean Town!" I may have paid your rent a couple times the amount of times I've played along to these lol. Anyway, If you can do a play a long to "Galactic Funk" by Casiopea, that would be GREAT. They're a Japanese Fusion band from the 70s and they're amazing and I can't find a transcription anywhere
Congratulations! I recommend you record some more Jazz in this style. In addition to this great artist, Frank Sinatra and Dave Brubeck, post more videos like this. Jazz Artist = John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Bill Evans, Dexter Gordon, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles, Michale Brecker.
Use your index and middle finger, you can turn the tone down, then use a sponge below the strings. Also, you can also use some flat wounds, thinner strings sound warmer. Use your index and middle finger simultaneously near the neck, away from the bridge
Just that slight panic when you thought that everything you ever knew is wrong because you accidentally read the notes on treble clef…. musicians can relate

He's going to catalogue every song ever written before I memorize the bass cleft.

@@mr.mcplaysalot2307 Music Racer, was it?
the whole band at 2:11: *goes crazy*
Bass line: imma just keep walkin’
They’re keeping home base steady 😏
Hard not to break into a trot haha.
It’s just like fresh air;)
Finally i can play a song for my grandfather's favorite song for his 76th birthday this year.
Godzilla had a stroke reading this and died
Huge fan
has he already had 75 birthdays that year?
Nathan doing bass covers, tabbing em out, keep em coming man.

Thank you Nate !
I don't listen to Sinatra often, but when I do, I play it loud enough for the neighbors to enjoy it too.
Nice walking bass line. I like the clean, dry dampened tone, too. Nicely played, Nate 👍
Always a pleasure to listen to you and observe your technique, Nathan. Thanks for sharing, man.
Honestly I play guitar and I can never find a good lesson showing all the chords for this song. But even though this a bass lesson he has the chords on the top which is really helpful for me.
I've always wondered how those notes fit into the song. Mind blowing how they don't sound dissonant
hey Nathan! Big fan from Chile (Southamerica)
Quick question: its all in palm mute? im learning bass as a Quarantine gold. =) thanks!
Appears to be all palm muted *except* for that open E at the E7flat9flat13. Keep up learning bass dude! I couldn't think of a better way to spend a quarantine!

wena po choro
keeping it real with thumbing the notes just like the bassists did back in that day
Nathan Navarro you are awesome at the bass also THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS
That Bass sounds phenomenal 🔥🔥🏴💯
Sounds like a P Bass.. Him muting n likely using flats helps a lot
Sick bassline
All technicalities aside, that’s a great song and it made me soo happy.
It’s such a good warmup. Gets your fingers moving
Thanks for this dude. I literally was assigned this song for me next bass lesson, and this is perfect
Nathan the unsung hero of bass!
Neon Genesis Evangelion Fan here, thats what i looked for to play for my bass, you are a hero man!
i dont listen to jazz, but when i do, i vibe a lot.
Tracking this song...much appreciate the work!
Es una ejecución bastante clara y limpia. Excelente
Wow what a pleasure watching you
sounds perfect
looking at tab I couldn't see atomactly where the notes whent it makes sense now I have watched your video Thank you
I have seen other videos of yours and wondered
when your thumb goes over the top of the fretboard are you actually playing that note on the E string
❤ love your pick playing
takes time to master that not everyone plays with a pick
It gives you a different tone and your speed is greater I like using a pick it gave me more freedom
To have whole songs played with tab is a gift thank you for sharing your talent
This is my 6th year playing bass no experience of music before in a band and enjoying it
I am in my own world when I pick up my bass
To have the help out there is great music is such a wonderful pleasure weather you play or not you can join in ❤
I don't play bass but I really enjoyed this video and cover. Nice job for have tabs and notation
epic evangelion ending)
Great version and the transcription is really good, I was able to follow aslong even without my bass at hand, thank you!
will you do more walking bass covers? really need help getting my walking bass vocabulary going, everything Ive done up until now sounds like im playing a practice rutine.
Awesome my man! Thanks for the content as always
Can you cover
Tomoko Aran's Midnight Pretenders and Takako Mamiya's Midnight Joke?
They're really good Jpop 80s!!
this is so chill to play
Oh that's my favourite song
I’m a bass man myself… yet, on Frank’s songs, his Voice does all the talking
No contest
tab with chords ! Thank you Nathan.
great cover!
what kind of bass is that?
It looks like a Harley benton MJN4. Can't remember the name but remember dreaming about it for a few months
Great cover/lesson as always nate! Really appreciate these videos. BTW do you have any instructional videos on how you include the score and tabs. I would like to record what I learn and then be able to tab/score it out to see how it compares. Thanks in advance!
Awesome job I definitely will learn this song. btw is that a Harley Benton bass?
Excellent Nate.
I love your sound!
superbe ! Great joba and good feeling ! the perfect swing !
Now that's fire 🔥
This walking bass line is super well put, but now, but when it starts to get exciting at the end with that 3-3-6-3-3-5-3-5, it abruptly cuts and the music ends. Is that a feeling that just I have?
Unexpected but a great tune to learn!
I’ll always be asking for Vulfpeck though lol
Bravo! 👏👏👏
i was already able to sing that song, now i can play it too :D. I was to impressed that's the first one to learn from your book.
Who would dislike this? 7 people don't want to fly anywhere...
Great groove 🎶🌼
Cooool i love it!!!! Bravo !!!
I need an answer asap pls: does this line ever loop? Like without analyzing the line it seems hard to learn, and gotta remember it for tomorrow. Btw great cover
i think it's not a loop. so many different variations, but if you just trying to learn one variations for the entire song i think that will do.
@@jovanmocodompis5054 I know this is late, but much of it is the same descending pattern of 4ths as "I Will Survive."
Than you for doing this .
E7(b9b13) is a happy note
great cover very well done!!! come on, we're going to learn this jewel of happiness
Thanks you have done, very well.,, it is helpful god bless
Hello im living the covers bro
Excelente material, para mi es de gran información. Toco bajo, pero no domino la lectura, sin embargo es de gran ayuda. Muchas gracias. Saludos desde Honduras.
Oof, maybe I'm still bad, but I'm having trouble with this! Jumping around 4 strings is not all that easy for a beginner lol.
try bringing that E bass to a jazz gig and see how vibed you get
fantasic Entertainer! Thanks Frank!
that was cool Nathan

Awesome! Is there another way to play this without just using your right thumb and still sound like an upright bass?
Use your index and middle finger, you can turn the tone down, then use a sponge below the strings. Also, you can also use some flat wounds, thinner strings sound warmer. Use your index and middle finger simultaneously near the neck, away from the bridge
Nice. Really nice.
Ótimos vídeos 👏🙌🙌🙌
Nice job.
As a beginner I wonder why you use that right hand technique for that song.
He's palm muting the notes
Hey Yumadom! I'm palm muting the notes to emulate the sound of an upright bass. :)
@@NateNavarro OK, thx and greetings from Germany!
I need to get my walk on, any suggestions for other tunes to learn people?
something easy, of course.. I started by learning 7 nation army's bassline
Autumn Leaves
Thank you
Classy!😎
So that's why it's called the "Jazz Bass" 🔥
nice ! maybe a P bass would sound even better in this style of music.
Excellent :-)
Nice!
Just that slight panic when you thought that everything you ever knew is wrong because you accidentally read the notes on treble clef….
musicians can relate
神！！！！
I’m going to try very hard not to use the tab as I want to read the notes. I think this will assist immensely.
Podrías hacer un cover de The Best Is Yet To Come de Frank Sinatra 🎼🎵🎶
Soo cool 😄👍🏼
Top!
thks cheers
WOW!!! Harley Benton Enhanced MJ-4MN?
Yep. :D
Who thought of the time that SmallAnt sang this
thanks
Are you using muting/damping technique?
I'd like an evangelion version tho but this is rocks
What’s the hand position your using called I’ve never seen anyone finger that way
Can you play
We are not alone ?
Always Thanks
Practising Jazz bass

Hey hi nathan... What is that black little thing up in the bass?
silky smooth
wedge a sock under the strings for that upright muted sound so you can still play finger style?
Any tips for someone who actually plays guitar and only switched to bass cuz my college band needed a bassist?
