Mar 16, 2011 - @deadlyblue65 Not at all, you may only need to have a bass with a narrow neck but this cannot prevent you from playing Bass

Jun 12, 2011 - where do you get your tabs? or do you play by ear?

Coppolabass Says:

Jun 12, 2011 - I used the "Queen Bass collection" book, but the rest are played by ear. Thanks

Aug 23, 2011 - I thought I've seen John playing this on flashiolet at fret 12, with the intro riff on a concert. And I've played that same on my own, and it sounds great.But this is great also!

Jan 7, 2012 - You can also play the early Elvis songs on fretless (just like the upright basses).

Jan 20, 2012 - how do you get that tone, and how much do you use of each pickup, e.g 90% on the bridge, because u completely nailed it

PBL187 Says:

Jan 23, 2012 - Sting sometimes played a fretless in The Police, I think Message In A Bottle and Walking On The Moon were both on fretless, possibly Roxanne too, and they're easy basslines as well :)

PBL187 Says:

Jan 23, 2012 - Slides are good

PBL187 Says:

Jan 23, 2012 - Different Pickguard if it is cos the Waters is all black lol

PBL187 Says:

Jan 23, 2012 - So does this man, but it can be played on 7th fret G and D strings

PBL187 Says:

Jan 23, 2012 - Beautiful guitar! that pickguard is nice, and loved the G octave (3 and 5) in the 2nd chorus lol

Jan 25, 2012 - Deacon is definitely not overrated. He is generally regarded as one of rock's premier bassists. He was equally adept at both pick and finger technique. Under Pressure was a classic example of his precision pick playing. He could have as easily used his fingers but had the musical scope to realize that the sound and feel of the pick attack was perfectly suited for this song.

Mar 20, 2012 - I love all your videos the bass lines of John Dacon are spectacular bassist but I'm also going in the beginning and your videos help me a lot but seeing you play queen songs that have great bass lines I wonder if you could listen to Mexican band Caifanes if you have not heard his songs I also do fine in many low and I would like to know your opinion about this band and their bassist Sabo Romo.thanks for the video greetings from mexicosaludos i will wait answer
