I've looked up a few bass covers of this as I'm dipping with a band playing it in a few days, and this is by far the best version I've found. The sound is a bit distorted, but it;s good enough, and the major plus point is you can see exactly what he's doing. Well, if you can play a bit you can! Some great lines here and very true to the original, it has a great feel. Hats off!
I am a guitar hack and played chords and some lead and used to play some bass in our old jam session back in high school and college circa 1978! My bass playing was simple pick and hit the notes in the key and similar to the chords we were playing. One dimensional at best! This man here is really really good in my book
Holy crap, dude! Lol you can definitely play a bass, that's for sure! I looked this up because I wanted to see what I was getting myself into, and WOW! I'm in for it lol (I'm learning bass, and Free Bird is on the list, which is why I looked at this vid). Great vid!
It’s a very good cover and he’s a great bassist and I don’t want to knock it too much but I couldn’t tell if bad fretting or an out of tune string cuz the bum notes at point were kinda consistent. I think I figured it’s some misfretting, I do it too when I’m just chillen at home rocking out. This guy is one of the few that actually tried to tackle this song note for note, not easy
As a guitar player , I absolutely never realised how important the bass track is ! Jesus Christ , its the whole backbone of this song.

Andy Burns yeah another one of the closest bass covers I’ve found
the rhythm guitar hitting the up beat accents, the bass stepping into it. Such an under appreciated part of this song

Finally someone who can play it just like Leon did
Ed King played the bass on this recording, not Leon. Ed also did great job on Simple Man bass part.
Perfection! Nice job, man!

Wow wow wow👍🏼
Absolutely Brilliant man ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I so want to play this as good as you do 🙂
Dude, nice playing. It is hard to play like Leon did on this but you did a bang up job! Thanks!
Agreed! But it was actually Ed King who wrote and played bass on this song.
Quien soy yo para criticar esta obra maestra! Eres todo un pro, sigue asi.
Saludos desde Puebla, México.
Damn this is the closest version but there’s a lot of points where instead of hitting the notes you just kinda run your finger along the fret board
Well...I was impressed.
Awesome!
5:00 a lo que vinieron.
Excellent rendition IMO. I'd be curious as to how long it took you to be able to play that comfortably?
dude i have the 4 string version of the same bass with the exact same finish lmao
I've got some neon pink strings on mine now :)
Wow. No wonder why I got fired by the band. Awesome playing.
Tab???? pleaseeeeeee
I used Rocksmith game to play it, many other songs there. Great thing to learn to play guitar.
The base in this song does not get enough credit.
A few shit notes there
