Hi Paul! That's great! I know how exciting it can be to start "feeling" something. I'm really happy I was able to help...thanks for letting me know! :)
Nailed it. Lovely transcription, perfectly clear video, really helpful to go to slower speed to practise (although I use ASD anyway), I used to always just take the keys line on this, thanks for steering me to the actual bassline.
I just love your videos. When I see the full speed video, I think I;ll never get it. and then on the slower lesson, the muscle memory will get established and then when I got back to the full speed, after a few weeks, I say to myself-"why did I think this was so hard?: your positive attitude and generosity for teaching others is fantastic. thank you so very much! plus, I love the funk!
First gig with the new band tomorrow and this is such t a great warm up for this tune. Thanks, Greg! You're going to make me sound five times better than I would have! You have.a wonderful patience - I'll bet you're a fine woodworker, too.
wow! that's so different from the tunes i usually play,thank you so much for your effort, i now know how to play Use me. thank you once again from sunny London UK
Wonderful job Greg - thank you very much...solid and friendly, to the point and complete - I like your style. I'm working on the slower version he did live as a cover on Bandlab.
hey baselinesweb! - thank you :) I really appreciate that. I'm not familiar with the other version you've mentioned...but I'm going to look for it right after this ;) Thanks again!
Hey Greg....I would love you to do Santana's Everybody's Everything...I always tend to have an issue playing this one due to the percussion involved. Not sure if David Brown is credited on it. He left Santana around the same time this album was produced.
Hey Michael. I just had a listen and I see what you mean. The percussion is really busy and makes it a little difficult to hear what the bass is clearly doing. In situations like this I tend to go with the keep is simple philosophy...too many people being busy tends to take away from the song (in my opinion ;) I'll add it to the list and have a closer listen when the song comes up...thanks for the request :)
Thanks! I play upright and moved everything to first position, utilizing more open strings and a closed A instead of a harmonic A. Still a beautiful groove.
Hey Greg! Been watching you for sometime and realized there was no Tina Weymouth bass anywhere lol so I was curious to see if you could do Happy Day by The Talking heads?
Excellent....instead of the D harmonic on 7th, I will sometimes end the phrase on the high octave A, then add harmonics G, D and A at the 5th a couple of times to break the monotony a bit...it works great against the high-hat.
Hi Greg...great lesson. Thanks! I'm sure you get a bunch of requests. But...if you could find the time to do a cover and lesson with tabs for Player's "Baby Come Back" it would be most appreciated. I am unable to find a decent lesson, or any tabs for this song. Been a favorite of mine for years and I would really enjoy learning how to play it.
Hi Mike. Thanks very much for the comment and request. I'm a little backed up with requests and projects at the moment so I'm going to pass on this one for now...thanks ;)
Hi Kristi! Thank you very much for the comment. I'm really glad you find it helpful :) Yes, back in the day when I got this bass I was totally inspired by Jaco...that's why I took off the pick-guard ;)
Id love if you could do saturday nights alright for fighting by elton john. If not thats ok. Ill still like and subscribe to all your videos. Youre the best!
@@BassCovers You have directed my attention to the notation. I see now that the notes are tied. Why is the tablature represented this way? A whole note is represented in tablature the same way a 32nd note would be, is it not? I was very confused initially by why the tab looked like it had so many more notes than I was hearing. Does this not go against the point of tablature? Side note: Putting the tabs on the bottom of the screen make it a pain to view when the video is paused due to the transport bar running right through it. Videos with sheet music/tablature aligned to the top of the window are much more user friendly imo.
I’m so happy I found this tutorial today, it’s really well thought out. Especially appreciated is the slow tempo version. Thank you.
hi eBass...thank you very much! Good luck on your progress :)
6:46 beginning of slowed down version, bass and drums only. Thank you so much for this great video, I think I can finally get it nailed 🙏
My pleasure :) Good luck and keep at it!
Gotta tell how helpful this slow break down of the song is... it is helping me feel the right pulse. thank you Greg Fairweather you rock!!

Awesome bass tone. Thanks for this lesson. Use me is a fabolous song.
It's a great tune. I love the drum part too. Thank you :)
Thanks so much for this. Just re-heard this song at a wedding a while back and it got into me. Stay in the pocket.....
haha...did it get you up on the floor? :) I like that...stay in the pocket ;)
@@BassCovers For sure! Grabbed my wife and we got funky. Our daughter was impressed. But I think she was just being kind.

Awesome, thank you!
Thanks so much for the tutorial, it really helped me a lot, do you have the PDF for it?
You're very welcome, so glad it helped. You can find the PDF here - www.gregstranscripts.com/ Thanks!

Awesome as always. Thanks! Is there any chance for Bass Tabs for Michael Franks "Your secret's safe with me"
thank you, I'll check it out.
Hello nice job ! What is "T.H." written in your transcription ?
Hi, thanks! T.H. = Touch Harmonic. Hope it helps :)
Your content is just amazingly helpful! Thank you. Also, what bass is that? Looks like a Jaco inspired bass. Love it!
Hi Kristi! Thank you very much for the comment. I'm really glad you find it helpful :) Yes, back in the day when I got this bass I was totally inspired by Jaco...that's why I took off the pick-guard ;)
@@BassCovers Amazing!!! It looks so slick without the pickguard! :D
@@kristi94 hehe...thanks, I really like it too :) I remember years ago when I got it, I would just look at it and smile :) What are you playing?
@@kristi94 thanks...I really like it too :) What are you playing? Does it have the pickguard? :)
@@BassCovers I have Squier Jazz Vintage Classic vibe! It has a pickguard but i might try to see how it looks without it! :D
Very the n'est, thanks
Id love if you could do saturday nights alright for fighting by elton john. If not thats ok. Ill still like and subscribe to all your videos. Youre the best!
Why dont you lay the screen so the tab ISNT behind TH-cam play bar!?
why don't you just buy the transcription and then you don't have to worry about it ;)
Oi Greg que tal Paul Weller the changiman. Obrigado
Hi Ricardo :) Thanks for the request, but I'm going to pass on this one. All the best ;)
@@BassCovers obrigado Greg. Uma hora acerto um pedido. 👍
you must move the notation up on the screen to get it above the scroll bar in the youtube page. very annoying. keeping me from subscribing
ugh...not as annoying as having a stranger whine and complain about something you've already been doing for years.
the second 7 in the 5677 5677 part you never play in your video.
it's tied...
