As soon as i heard this song, the Bassline just popped out for me, just so smooth.
It's a great bass line! Thanks!
Thanks! great job transcribing and playing this piece!
Appreciate that...thanks!
I’ve always focused on the amazing guitar playing so much that I’ve severely underestimated this truly amazing bassline! Great playing.
Hi Monkey, I have to confess I never really noticed the bass line before either :) Thanks!
Never realized what a great bass line this song has. You make it look sooo easy! Ty.
Thank you very much. This songs has a great bass line! Thanks :)
A lot more to this than meets the eye. Making something difficult look breezy. Thanks Greg
hey Dennis...thanks man ;) There's definitely more to this than meets the eye. A super groovy line. It sounds to me like he was really listening to George when he was playing. Cheers!
I love that your covering these wonderful bass lines from the 70s , 80,s , 90s and even early 2000s ….
The fushion jazz ones are amazing … Really thinking of pulling my age old P bass out the garage to start playing again …..
Thank you 🙏
Do it! Start playing again :) Thanks for the comment.
A classic. I never really focused on the bass in this one, nice to see it like this. Great take!

Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome music 🎶! I love this song! I love George Benson.
me too :)
@@BassCovers Another awesome musical piece by George Benson (IMHO) you should have a go at if you haven't done it would be *"Cast Your Fate to the Wind".* It comes from the CD *"Good King Bad".* If it's possible to check that out, that'd be awesome!
Sounding really smooth Greg! :-)
thanks Clarke :)
amazing! thank you
My pleasure. I'm glad you liked it :)
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Really nice tune! I used to play "On Broadway" a lot.
thanks Bass Player...cool :)
Magic...🎉
thanks :)
Well played Sir.
hi bassistdc...thank you very much :)
Nice tone 👌
thank you :)
Hi Greg, awesome cover! 😊🙏🏿👍🏾
Hey Trevor, thanks man :) I could see you liking this one ;) Cheers!
Greg Fairweather Hi Greg, most definitely!! 👍🏾
this bassline is the star of the piece for me
It's a really nice line he came up with...thanks!
Very cool! Stanley Banks, IIRC. "Six To Four" is my favourite from this album. Guitarist Phil Upchurch plays bass on that track. BAD BENSON, an album or 2 before BREEZIN', was the 1st Jazz album I bought with my own coin.
Great line-up...Ron Carter on URB, Steve Gadd, Kenny Barron, Airto. Phil Upchurch plays electric bass on "Full Compass". It's like a bass etude.
That's quite a lineup on Bad Benson. I'll have to check that out. I'm a huge Gadd fan. Thanks for the tip! :)
@@BassCovers In 1975, the local Progressive Rock station (not Prog, Progressive 😊) actue played 2 tracks from BAD BENSON - "Take Five" & "My Latin Brother". Benson & Kenny Barron take killer solos...great interplay in the rhythm section, too.
I've listened to a few tracks on the album. GB is sooo good. I love his solos...so tasty. Thanks for the tip!
Beautifuly done Greg! The bass line for this great guitar track by Benson is very rich.
What year/model Fender Jazz are you using in this?
Thanks
Hi Jay, thanks very much. I really like the line he came up with too. You could tell he was really "listening". My bass is American Jazz, around 1976/77. I put some EGM's in it back in the 80's. Thanks!
Wow, what an exercise in playing every possible combination of eighth note rhythm, especially on the two chord vamps. Every two bar phrase was different! An encyclopedia of bass fills in a single song! And as far as I noticed one slight timing error at 3:18. I'm guessing it might have taken a few goes to play through it correctly in one take. I had to rewind dozens of times.
haha, every two bars were a little different. It was great track he recorded. I didn't hear the little error you mentioned, but it's definitely possible ;) Thanks again :)
Great job Greg. Any chance you can do the bass to Robert Crays 'Across the line' which is on his 'Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark Album'.
Hi Gibb, thank you. I'll check it out.
I met Phil upchurch at the NAMM show in the 80’s. Very nice guy
cool :) Was he demoing guitar or bass?
@@BassCovers guitar, I believe. Back then, I didn’t know he was also a bass player.
@@BassCovers I play breezing quite often live. Lately, with some crappy drummers. The bass groove won’t work if your drummer thinks time is a magazine...
@@paulnicolosi4792 haha...I like that one "Time is a magazine". I haven't heard that one before :)
@@paulnicolosi4792 I always thought of him as a guitar player too...until this tune ;)
Just found this one.
Have you ever done Benson's "This Masquerade?"
Hi Ian, I haven't done that one yet. It would be a good one to do...thanks!
Love this song and bassline. Do you transcribe by ear or look up tabs online?
hahaha...I transcribe by ear. You?
@@BassCovers i usually look them up on line. Videos like these are helpful too because I can see what I’m playing as well as tabs
Glad it helps...thanks!
Love the bass. How about “For the Love of You” by the Isley Brothers.
hi Al Can - I wish I could. I'm pretty busy with "paid supporter" requests at the moment...thanks!
Hey Greg - how about doing: "If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time" by Tyrone Davis! Thanks!!!!
I'll check it out...thanks!
Hi Greg, just came across your page, Awesome. Would love to hear your rendition of a song that is very iconic. The song is You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry & The Pacemakers . Cheers mate.
Hi Peter, thanks for the comment and request. I'd like to consider it, but I'm quite busy with my "Paid Supporter" requests now that I won't have a chance. Thanks :)
Where can I get the whole sheet on it. I am having a difficult time doing so.
Hi, you can find it here - www.gregstranscripts.com/home-1 - there's a search field in the top right hand corner. Please be aware of the two file types...thanks!
Hi Greg! If you’re ever into Rufus feat. Chaka Khan then “Everlasting Love” is a song I would buy along with bass lesson. Thanks for listening, Rap
Hi Rap, thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out.
Thank you Greg! Have a great weekend!
