Nice Job John, @John_E.
You nailed the tone and hit every point :+1:
Not a fan of the song either, not sure if i will cover this one??
i might have a play through and see what i think??, if i do decide to do it, it will only be to encourage others.

I’m going to try to do all of them, even if I don’t like it. I didn’t like all of the songs in the B2B course, but I consider everything I learn as adding to my toolbox. Might not like the song, but will still get something useful out of it I’m sure. :slight_smile:

Yeah that’s how I’m approaching these as well. This song is good for practicing fretting hand muting (if you choose to mute the 8th notes with your fretting hand), and that part at the guitar solo is a nice finger stretch (if you choose to do it with 1FPF, and have small hands like me).

Great job @John_E. The way you played it, it’s hard to tell you don’t like the song. Great tone on that beautiful bass you have.

In high school, my guitar buddy wanted me to learn bass, and THIS was the song he tried to teach me. I think I have mental scars from it and now mad I never did learn to play then. Good fodder for a therapist, hahahaha. Behind me now, on to Crazy!

Great job John! Love your surroundings.

I noticed I tend to use mostly one finger also, non intentionally. I think this song lends itself to that technique

Bad Moon Rising. I May do another take with camera flipped so don’t look like I’m left-handed. The sound is a little better this time around. (I hope) Bad Moon Rising (song2) - YouTube

Really well done… Im using the tab from that ultimate guitar pro app and my tab looks a bit different to yours, yours looks a bit easier… Will have to look into that anyway. Nicely done!

Very great job and that bass looks awesome!
Great tone too!

The only small thing is I think you may have been just a whisker ahead of the beat in parts. I found myself doing this too as the bass seems to drive the song on with all the repetitive quarters notes.

Hi @BigAl,
Great looking bass you have, nice tone on this one.
Not bad for a lefty :joy: :rofl: :joy:
Couple of tiny issues with the timing and some fretting hand economy, this will come over time, i am even finding it difficult to lock in at exactly the right time.
It is hard to lock in at the exact right time as the bass is not as prominent on the recording.
keep up the good work,
Cheers Brian
