I like how he stares into my soul before playing
Totally!
If there were more cool people in this veil of tears your comment would have a hundred million 'likes' and this instructional video would have a billion views because there would be 500 million bass players and a billion people who would dig the shit out of the fucking subtle brilliance of your post.
And 8 billion people who have loved this song since it came out in '77.
😱
I think it needs a little more staring so it’s a 9/10. Stare at the camera for one more minute before you start the song lol
The stare at the end.
Just got my first bass. This is the song I wanted to learn right away. Cheers.
The ending is tricky. The bridge is too. It's a very fun song to play. When you master it, you will be a much better bass player. Good luck. This video will help you immensely.
@@fivestring65ify ending is especially tricky with a pick! It would be easy peasy if played like Harry does with his fingers. (But it's more authentic with a pick).
Tina Weymouth learned bass just to play for Talking Heads. So underrated. Great tutorial! Going to play it right now!
I ran this one at 75% just to memorize the song. Then ran it again at 100%. Well Done! Great channel. I was able to learn this song really quick.
I use a Slowdowner app. Very helpfull for learning.
wait how!!?
@@ronniemwagner it's built into TH-cam
@@EvanVincent. omg thank you! How did I not know this! Amazing
this is how i learned Dean Town, but i started at like 25% and it took a long time lol
Not overly complex tabs, but the burn in the fretting hand is real (at least for me) xD Great video
The bass line in this song is like a flirtatious ness, excellent cover.
I wanna go back in time and learn this bassline as a teenager beginner bassist again. So much pleasure.
Brilliant cover/lesson. Your channel is becoming a great learning resource-Thank you.
Thank you, Purple Bass. Your comment is very motivating :-). I am glad that my videos are useful.
Cheers for that young man , well happy to learn this. Keep up the good work ! ✌🏻😎👌🏻
Thanks so much. The way you compose your screen space with the tabs running next to your fretting made this really entrancing. Great sound you achieved as well. 🤟
This is my first song i have ever started to learn and im loving it so far
Tina Weymouth is the most underestimated bassist. Her lines seem easy until.....
The bass line is genious! You mean until that outro? :-D I hated that part when I was recording this video.
Her and bill Wyman
Tina Weymouth is one of the the best bass player ever.
the thing about the bassline in this isn't complexity, just how it fits in with everything
i think it doesn't matter wether a bass line is easy, some of the greatest that come to my mind just now are rather on the easy side when i think about it. This si a perfect example, the bass part just fits the song and the song wouldnt be that good if it had a more complex bassline with a more sophisticated rythm etc - its genious comes from the "easy" but on point groove
Very smooth and wonderful playing on such an iconic song.
Got everything down . Especially the muting with the right hand fingers. Alot of players miss that detail . Best rendition on youtube I've seen.
Estamos com saudades dos seus vídeos, já faz um mês que não tem conteúdo novo no canal. Aqui do Brasil. Parabéns pelo trabalho 👏🏻👏🏻
I really enjoy this presentation of the bass line. The Stop Making Sense concert video version of this song is not my favorite version because it greatly (completely?) downplays the bass. That concert is fantastic, a classic, I watch it over and over....yet I'd rather listen to this version and this presentation of Psycho Killer. Thanks for such a good video. I'm now an 'old guy' who spent waaay too much of my life not appreciating the bass playing on songs. So many wasted years of not realizing how much bass guitar does for music.
As an 'old guy' I agree. Having just taken up bass, I am now re-enjoying music at a whole new level. Following JPJ's lines in Stairway to Heaven for the first time!
Hey I really appreciate your channel dude. I've been learning a lot of cool baselines thanks to you.
Keep up the good work! Sexy bass btw.
Your technique is so clean!
Great stuff! Love the notation and tabs!
thank you so much for adding the regular notes in too!! i play upright bass and have been trying to learn it but all i could find were bass guitar tabs so thank you!
Thanks for putting the time and effort into doing this. Can’t wait to dive in.
Hey harry. Jamie from New Zealand. Thank you for your awesome easy bass breakdowns. Brought a bass just before lockdown and can play fairly well (ish) thanks to you. Cheers bro !!
Harry, thank you for all your videos. I've learned songs from you. Smile more often, you look like your not sure. Great job Harry.
Great work! Love this song, and your bass playing! :) Glad I found you! :)
Well done. I finally learned the ending :-)
I loved it. Thanks for your time in doing this.
Thank you so much Luis! :-) I'm glad it helped
That was fantastic.MUSIC to my ears.
Don't know why so hostile but fuck you too sir
@C o k e yeah no shit, that was the joke
@C o k e ok
El cover más esperado por toda latinoamerica unida
I watch a bunch of bass tab channels. And HolY SmokeS you are fantastic. Such precision. I'm going to learn a ton from you!
Thank you so much EADG! :-) :-) Your comment made my day! This kind of comments keeps me motivated to do more songs. Thank you and I hope my channel will be as useful to you as possible. :)
He seems very tense and nervous at the beginning, almost as if he can't relax...
I had spasm during this song for some reason. And sice it was done in about 10-20 takes I was kinda nervous each time if I'll be able to finish it. It's getting better with spams now. I just have a guitarist's hands... not used to a bigger fretboard :-).
Happy to know you're getting better, I was just making a silly reference joke about the song haha, I'm sorry if that made you feel bad, either way that's an amazing video, I revisit it every once in a while, and your playing is very good as well, much love to you and hope the channel grows a lot!
Oh I got it now! :-D :-D Thank you so much for your nice comment and your support :-). I am already thrilled how many people subscribed. :-)
I dunno man, I think might be one of the youtube conspiracies where someone is forced to make videos. Except, of course, funky bass lines instead.
Maybe he couldn't sleep last night cause his bed was on fire...
Excellent video - concise and to the point. Thanks.
This is so useful! I really do appreciate the video.
Thank you so much for your nice comment, Martin! :)
Your videos are amazing, thank you so much!
The way you set this up is awsome I was able to learn the song super quick!
Thank you so much, Jenna ☺ I'm glad it works for you. I based it on my experience with learning new stuff.
I agree i only heard the song once then went to look for for tabs and stumbled upon this and it was very quick to learn off! This is a very good and practical way to learn by watching someone else play it, i was able to get the rhythm and timing right and the played along.
Wow! real music staff and notes, subscribed.
That was good. Well played. You did the Talking Heads justice. 👍
Incredible, thanks, man!
Awesome job! Good song!
This is awesome! I can finally play this with your help! Thank you
Thanks Don! Awesome bass line isn't it?
@@HarryMusicStuff yesss :D seems so fun to play,after i get home from school tomorrow i'm gonna learn it!!:)
Nice one. Nailed it!
Thank you very much Inna!!! :)
That outro!!! props!
learning this song in my music class, one of my first times getting to play bass and this video is so helpful, i get getting lost trying to read the music myself as i dont listen to this song much. currently playing on x.75 just to get a hang of it all
Sensacional! Obrigada por compartilhar 👏🏾
Hey Harry, thanks for doing this! :)
Thank you very much !!! I love your cover !!!!
Thank you so much Ralph!!!!!! :))
the ending is so hard for me. not because of the tab or anything but having to do it that repetitive for that long lol it's still fun though and i appreciate this video !
That sigh of accomplishment at the end AHH HAA
Your the best bass teacher on you tube thanks
Nicely done. Thank-you
Great video and a big help!!
hahahaha your face at the end! Great man I love you!
Fantástico Harry !!!
Man if you get any more excited, your head is going to explode. Just kidding. Great bass cover. I've been working out with this one recently. This is a very fun bass line to play. Tina is a great bass player. I'm now subscribed.

Simply & Tricky

@@HarryMusicStuff, you're welcome. I'm a beginner bass player and your videos are really very helpful.

Nice sound.
Great job as usual man. Please do "This Must Be The Place".
Muito bom 👏👏 obrigada pela aula🇧🇷
at 2:36 you are supposed to play 4-2-0 on the D string and 0 on the A string, then move it down one string for the higher part.
thanks a lot for this lesson 😀 👍
COOL SONG I LIKE IT
THANKS MISTER
Muchas gracias! Thank you very much!
¡Gracias por el buen comentario! Thank you for your nice comment! :-) :-)
Thank you so much
awesome 👍👍
Muito bom!!! Parabéns
the best bass cover I seen on TH-cam.
I’m gonna have to learn that outro at half speed!
Thank you :-)
Thank you for you comment Damodrummer1!
i love the sigh of relief after the outro riff xD
Você é incrível!
Muito obrigado! Eu desejo um bom dia.
The 1980 years, what a good time for me. I love it. Thank you for the good job. Tablannote Vision A5 A5 A5 A5, A5 A5 A5 E G3 ......and so it goes EmaB
Great!
Cool- Tina actually plays the open A-string for the main riff, but either works.
I saw a live video and she really plays an open A-string. But for me, the studio version sounds a lot like the 5th fret on E string.
great cover (extra note at the end of the chorus phrase and the ending part sounds better played with an open a string)
Thanks!
Now that's a bass bridge saddle holy shit
Tina is a bass GOD!!!
*EPIC*
GOOD COVER ..I
Thank you Steven! :-)
Allah razı olsun Abla (God bless you sister)

Killer I'm a novice, thanks so much.
Excellent video!! Where can i get the tabs? Thank you very much!!
My fingers and abilities say "goodbye" starting 2:21 :D
How's it going? Also if you haven't done it yet, you can move your whole hand Instead of stretching your fingers
Thank you for the transcription. It would be helpful if there were measure numbers displayed.
Entirety of the song is in 4/4
