I just came on this lesson now. This is an interesting way of teaching the song. You've explained the elements and are asking people to develop their musician brains a little by llistening to the song to figure out how to put the pieces together. So not simply a paint by numbers approach. It's a simple song so even beginners like me should be able to do that with a little effort.
Thanks Jeff, I really enjoyed learning this and I thought you explained it really well but when I was doing some playalongs I think they change key in the solo and I'm not sure whats going on there.
The solo part has 8 bars of the verse progression (D - G - A - D) then it goes to the chorus progression (G - D - A - G). At least on the studio recording. They may do something different in live versions.
I'm not sure you could make this simple bass part more confusing. How about just showing the names of the notes in sequence, written down, like DDAG prior to or even as you go into' I guess stories or explanations. Something concrete to go by. Something you could write down. There's little continuity, and the viewer is left with "what did he just say?" It is a nice bass, though.
Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I'm working on a new lesson now and will definitely take this into consideration.
All joking aside, I usually learn the tabs and then once I can ACTUALLY play the song I “sing” the notes when I play. “C sharp C sharp, A sharp A sharp” Just as an example.

Thank you for that feedback. I like to understand what I am playing and why I’m playing it.
Thanks Jeff, that was just what I was looking for.
Glad it helped!
So useful…. Love the walking sections… yeh… subscribed from the UK
Thank you!
Excellent thank you. Putting the song into scale and tone is the way it should be done. That P sounds very P! What flats are you using?
Thank you! They are Labella Deep Talkin Flats.
Nice PF-500! Mine just died and I haven't been able to find anyone locally who can fix it. :(
Cool I just bought a schecter stiletto stealth 5 string and I would love to learn this song. It's always been a favorite
Nice bass! It's a great one to learn.
good lesson, thank you
Glad you liked it!
Hi Jeff, thanks for the pointing out on bad moon rising. I like your way of playing this song with the exta lines.

Thank you very helpful the rest I can get from watching any other video of bad Moon rising!
Glad it was helpful!
I was waiting for hearing the bassline in context - never came :-(
Yea, I was attempting to avoid copyright claim. Future lessons will include some context.
I don't know what I want to do or what I mean.
I had a wasted time.
The bass guitar sounds cool and good
Groovy !! Nice job my friend keep it up and have a great day !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, you too!

Hey I’m a bass player dude… what the heck is a note??? 😂
All joking aside, I usually learn the tabs and then once I can ACTUALLY play the song I “sing” the notes when I play.
“C sharp C sharp, A sharp A sharp”
Just as an example.
I was going to fill in for a band on bass this video made me not want to
You must be a really fun bandmate.
