Awesome explanation. I always appreciate how you play slowly and clearly. It comes across as patience, and shows that you care that everyone watching is keeping up. Not everyone on YT does that!
I remember trying to learn this off the record when it first came out. Dealing with a record player that had a 5 inch speaker and no bass control. Not an easy task. It's great what you do for young players in breaking these things down. In the old days the bass was nearly impossible to decipher on those primitive record players we had. The only part that stood out was when he plays the octave to the b-flat. That's how I determined it was the root note. Keep doing what you're doing for young bassists everywhere 👍
I caught the end of the record player era. My guitarist school mate wired mine up with a jack for my bass and that's how I first started to learn bass lines! It actually worked quite well! Cheers
Hi Greg, great lesson and very clearly explained and played. I was very excited about this Stones Classic when you announced you were doing a lesson on it. At last it was great to hear you play the original bass line, I’ve played this quite a few times, but as you point out, it was mainly just playing anything that seemed to fit, a lot of improvisation really. I’m looking forward to having a crack with the Stones track and having a jam. Thanks Greg. Keep groovin.
Thank you very much Greg! Great teaching. Don't know if the bass line is smart, but Sympathy for the devil is another great song of the Stones, I would be happy to learn. Have a nice day and more.
That's the way Keith Richards is playing it in studio. Bill Wyman (live) (and Darryl Jones) are playing it very differently. In a way that, I think, is way better on stage. But it is interesting to be able to play it both ways. Great work as usual
Great lesson Greg.Thanks.I sadly cant play along at the mo' as my Fender Rumble combo has died a death.Thought it was the power lead,but sadly not.Might go down the Ashdown studio 10 route.

The track is ever so slightly sharp. This might be due to everyone tuning to someone who was sharp or the whole record was speeded up slightly. Keith played in an open tuning for this song. So if you want to play to the original track, use my transcription but tune your bass a little big sharp (not a whole 1/2 step).

Thanks so much Wayne, that’s good to hear. I try and make the lessons as if I’m teaching one-to-one and try to cover all the possible pitfalls.
Great lesson once again, Greg. I've seen so many different tabs for this song, but this definitely sounds like the real deal. Excellent.
Thanks, it took a while to work out what was played on the original bass line.
@@GregsBassShed You definitely got it. 🙏
Excellent lesson. Thank you Greg
No worries. It’s the bass line you picked too 😀
Great stuff, Greg . . . looking forward to more British tunes!
Cheers Steven

@@GregsBassShed Yes, it obviously worked quite well. You learned your lessons well and cool move by your friend wiring you up.
Another fab lesson Greg cheers 👌🙂
Thanks so much 😃
I've seen this bass line more complex than it should be, you simplified it very close to the 1968 song.great job😃
Thanks very much. Some of these bass lines are hard to hear in the mix but I try to capture the original notes and vibe.
Thanks!
No problem
Thanks again Greg!
Cheers
Thanks Greg 😊 , I've joined mailing list and subscribed great way of teaching cheers 🍻
Great Jim, plenty here to get stuck into!
Thanks
Thanks Steve!

I forgot to mention but you need to tune slightly sharp to play with the original track!
Thank you very much Greg!
Great teaching.
Don't know if the bass line is smart, but Sympathy for the devil is another great song of the Stones, I would be happy to learn. Have a nice day and more.
That’s a good choice. I’ll put it on the list for a future lesson.
Great job Greg!!! Thanks my friend! Musician /Artist USA- ThomMeinert
My pleasure!
Thanks Greg
No worries Kim
Thanks so much! So many just mirror the guitar riff…
You're welcome!

Yes, there are sone other really nice takes on the bass line that I also like but it was fun getting this original bass line down.
Great lesson Greg.Thanks.I sadly cant play along at the mo' as my Fender Rumble combo has died a death.Thought it was the power lead,but sadly not.Might go down the Ashdown studio 10 route.
Oh Jon, hope you get it sorted soon. The Ashdown gear is good if you can’t get it fixed.
@@GregsBassShed Yeh,hopefully I'll get it sorted soon.
Hello Greg! Great channel and lesson! Can you possibly do a lesson for “Fire” Arthur Brown. It has some real cool bass lines. Cheers🎉
had to check that out and I remember my dad playing this a lot when we were younger! I'll put it on the list!
Great! Thank you! 🙂@@GregsBassShed
Great lesson Greg I really like this song from way back in the day, you might want to listen to the johnny winter version they jam out also
Thanks Elvin, I’ll check that version out.
Hi Greg. Thank you for this video. I’ve signed up for the transcript/tab a few days ago, but I’m no longer receiving your emails.

You want to transcribe some wild stuff, check out Johnny Winters version of the song and Randy Jo Hobbs bass line he was an incredible bass player.
I'll check it out, cheers
Very nice! That "blues cover band" has done pretty well for themselves, eh? 😆
Yeah, pretty good runnings! 😀
The notes are flat when you play it with standard tuning. I believe the Stones recorded this with their guitars tuned down 1/2 step.
The track is ever so slightly sharp. This might be due to everyone tuning to someone who was sharp or the whole record was speeded up slightly.
Keith played in an open tuning for this song.
So if you want to play to the original track, use my transcription but tune your bass a little big sharp (not a whole 1/2 step).
You mean massive
Yep, MASSIVE hit! 😀
