It is so funny, always when I get new head phones, ear buds, speakers, etc... I'm coming back here to listening this amazing cover! This guy still rocking!
Playing the Guitar for 38 years myself, I never appreciated the Bass part. I don't know what brought me to this video today ... but you opened my eyes. This was educating ... MAN, you are fantastic !!!
I've always found it interesting how ABBA songs have strong basslines that make up a large part of the overall sound of the band and how when performing live, the bass player was in the wings, or even in one tv appearance, the bass player sat on the end of the front row of the crowd! Top video as always, definitely one of the best technical players on TH-cam! :D
Heard this song for the first time in years and that bass line slaps, so I had to find a video of someone covering the bass. Not disappointed. The bass is such an under appreciated instrument and by far my favorite.
But respect that they had enough guts a faith in it to keep that part extended. So many times I hear songs and they are afraid to "go over" and the cut a great segment short for time or whatever reason when it should have been longer. One comes to mind is Seal's "Crazy" heard clear on album version, there is a small segment with a powerful african drums. When I hear that it frustrats me because they treat it as a throw away. I would have centered a song around it. One thing I like about rap (one of the few things) is that they would find a segment thrown away and do just that: make a whole song out of it
This is nice to hear. Songs where you can hear the bass so great! I hate it that they turn it down in songs. It's so nice to hear the bass. Great to boogie on :p!
Don’t be. Practice. Break it down into the individual parts. You’ll get it. It took me years to learn the chorus of This Charming Man by the Smiths. The verse I worked out in an hour when I was 15 but couldn’t get the rest. Practice looked at tabs and listened.
I know this comment is 5 years old but if you haven't already learnt a few Bernard Edwards baselines (bassist on chic, sister sledge etc etc) you absolutely should!
Sounds great with the low E. FINALLY found a version on youtube that sounds like it plays the bass line correctly. Just love this vid man, fantastic. This is my wifes song, I can finally start learning to play it correctly.
Superbe technique maitrisée par un super bassiste ! trés belle tonalité en plus. BRAVO à toi et continue d'enchanter tous les amoureux de la basse comme moi par tes videos. QUEL GROOVE !!!
Paul Bruton It came as a surprise to me. He lives in Sweden still and he emailed me when I was researching my article on ABBA bassists. Google 'The Bassists of Abba' and you can see the article. Mike was very helpful. I only wish I could have got in touch with Rutger.
Luke McKELVEY I can't scan an email in a youtube comment - I can say that someone who contacted me on Facebook put me in touch with Mike Watson. I can verify the email address as it matched his website. Specifically about this track, Mike confirmed he played on Gimme, Gimme Gimme (and corrected me that Rutger, not he, played bass on Fernando). He said he used his 1966 Jazz bass which he bought second hand in 1970. He had changed the pickups to Schecter at this time. Mike also confirmed there were no charts at the sessions. If you google Mike, he has a website (in Swedish and English) and you can contact him through the site. You can see my article by googling Abba Bassists if you're interested. You can email me through my website.

今更ながら初めて来ました
上手すぎるし本当に素晴らしいの一言！
聴き惚れました♪
Just the right amount of nordic funk I needed at 01:05 in the morning. Thank you.
If there's a video on TH-cam that makes the most powerful case for mixing a more prominent bass sound in Pop/Rock music, it's this one.
Eargasm!
Playing the Guitar for 38 years myself, I never appreciated the Bass part. I don't know what brought me to this video today ... but you opened my eyes. This was educating ... MAN, you are fantastic !!!
I play keyboard, and this its so damn fantastic
He opened your ears
Julia Hofer does it much better. Search TH-cam for 'Top 5 ABBA Bass Lines Julia Hofer'. She IS s the master of ABBA bass lines!
Wicked Bother!! Very 70’s!!! Awesome times!

I once read one idiot journo describe Abba's songs as having 'plodding basslines.' Fool.
abbaの中で一番好きな曲、元の音源もしっかり聞き取れてナイス、bassも最高、上手い

This is pure real quality pop Swedish style...None of that over produce fake crap from today and I'm a rock,blues,metal guy....
Learning this for my band right now and loving that dropped D, great work.
Cool job bass master watcing 🎉🇵🇭🇵🇭👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸
My favorite instrument to hear. ❤
Je t'écoute encore avec un immense plaisir et on est le 15 aout 2022 !! :) :)
Oldies songs have some of the best bass lines in the history, and this is one of them
YES. Please checkout my bass covers music list.
I've been wanting to learn how to play the bass for 30 years. This video has inspired me to buy one and learn how to play it NOW. (It's that awesome.)
Danielsan B How is your bass playing going?
@@jadodavo Yeah tell us
Que coisa mais linda. Maravilhoso som e execução!.
The bassist from ABBA was great and a unsung hero!!!!!!
I dont know how I got here, but holy shit, you are good.
É isso aí. That guy really rocks.
I love it myself.
Супер да
Don's say Daniel "....... shit", this is insulting, friend
Daniel Torres, this is Rutger Gunnarsonn's Bass composition.
СУПЕР!!! Мастер баса и моя любимая ABBA!!!😀🙂😉
So damn funky. I could listen to the part starting at 2:53 on loop all day
We all know there is one King,
And Mark never dies!
But if he should ...
This shit is goooooood
Why?

Great to listen and watch someone playing different music than what I'm used to listen!
Watching this as a beginner, I just realized I have a looooong way to go! Amazing!
Take your time and begin with some easy stuff first.
I’ve been playing on and off for 20 years, and this still blows my mind.
Any updates on your progress?????
@@infusion26 Really good work! How long are you playing bass guitar now?
@@infusion26 hay
I would say that this is one the best bass line cover for this Abba's song
Esse baixo ficou muito louco!
This bass went very crazy! The best version.
Wow this is off the chart amazing change overs, picking , tight and so much precision .
2019 algum brasileiro de bom gosto ouvindo . feliz fim de semana !
In 1989 I got to know this ABBA band. Thank you!
Certainly the most entertaining and skillful bass cover the "I" have seen to date. Thanks for sharing!
What a great song and what a awesome cover!
i didnt know ABBA¨S bass lines were so fuckin killer , better than most greedy bands
In know...that e string is killing it
Allbbrz Nope......written by Mike Watson and last time I see him he looked as white as Swedisch snow!
+Allbbrz Whats up with that racial comment, dude?
+Allbbrz rutger gunnarsson,the bassist of abba.swedish dude
+Talsma Makelaardij Hahahah i like that :-)
Its like watching an ABBA session in the making. Awesome
A legendary song!
uff great fingers, great hand, great teacher, great bass . bravo... is magic
i love abba
.the music is incredible
This is a Professional Band Player !! Very high quality recording . Superb Bass
Just amazing playing and tone. I wonder why the bass is never mixed more like this on original versions of songs? Adds such a dimension.
The sound is so great. After 11 years, i found this channel. Im thankful for that. It looks easy but too difficult for my current level
그 시절 추억의 향수가 느껴진다
You NEVER cease to AMAZE! Outstanding!!!!!!
So funky and good! LOVE IT!
I like how it seems effortless to him. Just small and precise right hand mouvements. Great cover ✌️
Was always a guitarist and now I"m starting to understand that most of the songs I really love are Bass songs! You match my taste. Awesome.
Another excellent cover by one of the best bass players on you tube! Thank You!
Didn't realize its having such amazing bass line. Decided to hear the song again! Thanks.
Rutger Gunnarsson was a excellent bass player. RIP
@@orkunozdemir8296 son of a Gunnarson
Killer groove and fantastic playing.
bass is d backbone of music.
Excellent rendition of slap bass and groovy intoxicating rythm! Congratulations!
4:51 minutes of happiness in this lockdown.
Love the way he added the slap base in ther, gave the song just a touch of funk.
masterpiece! you're the one who made me able to hear full the bass line in this song. thank you dude! \m/
Excellent Bass as I heard. Great !!!!
Oh wow, never really realized how great this bass line was, especially with you playing it! Keep up the amazing work
Bravo !!!! Master !!!!!!
Holy shit! That bass playing gave me goosebumps! That was well funky! Totally smashed it! Top notch bass player

Wow spectacular man!
This is nice to hear. Songs where you can hear the bass so great! I hate it that they turn it down in songs. It's so nice to hear the bass. Great to boogie on :p!

Bloody Brilliant! I'll listen to ABBA in a whole new light now (slap bass in an ABBA song - I would never have believed it...) thanks for that.
Fantastic job! I was really happy when I listened to this song and noticed that I could actually hear the bass. You're cover was very well done!
The best basscover I've ever watched ! Tks !
Como não gostar desse cover
정말 멋지다 기가막히네 ㅇ베이스 기타가 저렇게 멋지군요
Your tone is brilliant. It all sounds so full and clear
El que sabe...sabe!...muy buena versión del clásico tema... felicitaciones!!!
Damn!! That's funky as hell! As a novice bassist, I'm very excited and very intimidated.
The bass lines of ABBA ( disco band) are surprisingly the most badass ones
Keep practicing, you got this! :)
@@migueltrotski6622 funky bass is one of the foundations of disco

Crazy cover!! amazing just amazing
この曲オリジナル聞いてもベースしか入ってこないくらい好き
This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a killer line...
such a great performance for this very complexe song, especially from 2:52 to 3:53
You can use that part for an instruction video on how to kick ass with slap&pop.
Great job of abba s gimme gimme, good original bass part
Just got confirmation from Mike Watson that he played the orignal bassline on this and created it live in the studio with ABBA.
what a load of bull, is he up your street then?...You are Wrong!
Paul Bruton It came as a surprise to me. He lives in Sweden still and he emailed me when I was researching my article on ABBA bassists. Google 'The Bassists of Abba' and you can see the article. Mike was very helpful. I only wish I could have got in touch with Rutger.

Fair enough. Sounds ligit but some proof would be nice.
Tuyệt vời những tình khúc vượt thời gian.
Holy crap. This is awesome.
First time hearing this song...its trippy. Awesome bass cover
Ótimo trabalho amigo. Tudo perfeito
The master, professional, super !!!
Rutgers baseline may live forever.
RIP RUTGER GUNNARSSON ❤🇸🇪
Wow very nicely played...you are awesome
