Post your covers! (2023)

Earlier this week I came across this video of Hunter Burgan (the bass player for AFI) doing a play along. I watched it and thought, “I’m not ready for that song yet.” A few minutes went by and I watched it again and thought, “why couldn’t I play that?” So I watched that video another 30 times or so to learn it and although I probably should have worked on it for another week or two I felt compelled to record it today.

I try to use a pick when the song calls for it, I really feel this should be played with a pick even though it is so much harder for me to do that finger style.

Playing on my Squier 40th anniversary jazz, which I must say is a beautiful bass.

Yeah… why couldn’t you play that? To say that you’re pretty good at this would be an understatement.

Hah ! :rofl: I reckon Steve Harris has another couple of fingers hidden in there somewhere

@JerryP

Thanks! The Rick may have its limitations but it’s a killer for Rock n Roll :slight_smile:

Great cover PR! Don’t doubt yourself. Marty McFly says “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.”

Wow that sounded really really great @mediaklan
If I would offer any feedback, it would be to lay back a bit on the beat at the start.
You start laying back a bit furhter in and get right in the pocket a bit better, just rushing a bit at the start.

Sounded fab fab fab!!!

@John_E Don’t know why I can’t get ANY volume on his video. I checked other videos and everything is fine, but can’t hear his, hence the “volume” comment last night. I thought it was a universal issue with no comments on such a great song.

I’m not an IT guy @booker_t in the slightest but that video is in a different format from the usual YouTube ones that we post.

That might be causing problems for some of us?

I’ll let the tech nerds answer this one.

Great tones coming from that 40th anniversary jazz bass but that is probably you PR! Great looking bass also! Man, have you come along way. Fantastic job!!!

Good observation @Barney ^^. That’s because I host my own videos and don’t rely on any external services. But since it’s my first time hosting files for streaming purposes on my webserver, I’m still learning some things and that comes with its fair amount of … issues I need to solve ^^´. Here I’m not too sure what is happening, but I’m guessing that the encoding I used is too weird and/or exotic for some people/devices.
