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.
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).
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!
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
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 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. 🤟
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!
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.
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. :)
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
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 !
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 !!
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.
Thank you guys! It is called Vintage VJ74. Do you know that brand? I didn't unil I saw it in my local store and compared it with similar Squier which was way worse - both sound and build quality.
I like how he stares into my soul before playing
Totally!

😱
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.
Tina Weymouth learned bass just to play for Talking Heads. So underrated. Great tutorial! Going to play it right now!
Just got my first bass. This is the song I wanted to learn right away. Cheers.

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.
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 ! ✌🏻😎👌🏻
I wanna go back in time and learn this bassline as a teenager beginner bassist again. So much pleasure.
This is my first song i have ever started to learn and im loving it so far

Got everything down . Especially the muting with the right hand fingers. Alot of players miss that detail . Best rendition on youtube I've seen.
El cover más esperado por toda latinoamerica unida
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

Estamos com saudades dos seus vídeos, já faz um mês que não tem conteúdo novo no canal. Aqui do Brasil. Parabéns pelo trabalho 👏🏻👏🏻
Very smooth and wonderful playing on such an iconic song.
Your technique is so clean!
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.
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 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. 🤟
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 :-).

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...
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.
@@HarryMusicStuff Hi ! How do you add the tabs to the video?
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
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.
Esse final me mata !!! ;-;
Parabéns pelo talento e pela disponibilidade de ensinar!
Também me matava, depois fica tranquilo. Só treinar
Thanks for putting the time and effort into doing this. Can’t wait to dive in.
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. :)

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
Hey Harry, thanks for doing this! :)
That was good. Well played. You did the Talking Heads justice. 👍
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 !!
That outro!!! props!
I loved it. Thanks for your time in doing this.
Thank you so much Luis! :-) I'm glad it helped
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.
Wow! real music staff and notes, subscribed.
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!!:)
Awesome! I loved the cover and how you teach it. Really simple. I'll try it now! Greetings from Argentina
Thank you very much Julio! Enjoy playing it :).
Simply & Tricky
V:; conocí esta cancion por te lo resumo, y ahora deseo hacer un cover v:;
Mucha diversión! Gracias amigo
Lo que importa es el amor el amor heterosexual :v
Me puse en modo Psycho Killer tocando esto
El comentario que esperaba xd
Yo igual
Well done. I finally learned the ending :-)
hahahaha your face at the end! Great man I love you!
Well done. As usual.
Thank you very much, Fred! :-)
@@HarryMusicStuff, you're welcome. I'm a beginner bass player and your videos are really very helpful.
This is so useful! I really do appreciate the video.
Thank you so much for your nice comment, Martin! :)
Great work! Love this song, and your bass playing! :) Glad I found you! :)
Great stuff! Love the notation and tabs!
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.
Your the best bass teacher on you tube thanks
Genia 🙌🏻
Good job, Enjoyed very much 😊
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.
Sensacional! Obrigada por compartilhar 👏🏾
COOL SONG I LIKE IT
THANKS MISTER
Excellent video - concise and to the point. Thanks.
Your videos are amazing, thank you so much!
Very good!!!
i love the sigh of relief after the outro riff xD
Thank you very much !!! I love your cover !!!!
Thank you so much Ralph!!!!!! :))
I’m gonna have to learn that outro at half speed!
Great job as usual man. Please do "This Must Be The Place".
this song is a whole workout. screw the spider excercise, holy shit.
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
Awesome job! Good song!
awesome 👍👍
I love this cover and tab! Thanks heaps your channel rocks
Thanks!! Very good!!!
Thank you very much Bernardo!!!! :)
Muito bom 👏👏 obrigada pela aula🇧🇷
That sigh of accomplishment at the end AHH HAA

Great. Many thanks for this.
I,m learning this and my fingers hurt so much but this is my dream and pain it temporary
great cover (extra note at the end of the chorus phrase and the ending part sounds better played with an open a string)
Nice sound.
Você é incrível!
Muito obrigado! Eu desejo um bom dia.
What bass is it??
It's beautiful!
x2
We fell in love with the bass!
Thank you guys! It is called Vintage VJ74. Do you know that brand? I didn't unil I saw it in my local store and compared it with similar Squier which was way worse - both sound and build quality.
Thanks!
Great!
Thank you so much
i listen to the wrecks cover of this song for the most part so ima try to play this to the cover and see how it goes
Can you do deceptacon by le tigre?
