Pinball Wizard - Isolated Solo Live Bass Lesson with Tablature and Notation

Pinball Wizard is an example of early John Entwistle at his finest. The line flows with ease. I have taken a few liberties with the interpretation of the line for the benefit of the student. Go for a big boomy, round tone with strong yet legato plucks. Notice the heavy use of the blues box pattern on the verses and how easy it is to hear "the tune" from just the bass line. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for posting this. I’m a deaf bassist and the visual aid goes a long way towards helping me learn this song.

Starts after 0:42 Sadly you missed the thunderous chords that Entwistle played live, or mimed on TV, to replace the second studio guitar. Tadaa!

@@mattg432 Lesson designed as a “playable” version for bassists needing to learn the tune.
