I’m a blues and rock bassist and I have to agree that this is possibly one of the most recognizable bass lines ever. And it’s damn fun to play, too.

I started playing the bass at age 50, I am 54, and I love seeing your col videos. Thx

This video prove that not only guitarists can be awesome, but bassists too

One of the reasons why I love bass guitar

Bass is the backbone of the entire band. You can scrape by with a bad guitarist. There's no way to scrape by with a bad bassist.

this was real smooth, not choppy like most covers I've seen of this song. good job brother.

Just want to say thanks! I began playing bass two years ago (at 51) and am getting quite good at it. Your covers have been an invaluable tool in helping me to improve my skills. From a very grateful subscriber!

Awesome! RIP The King!

There are so many great bass players in the world and I love them all :))

finally somebody who really knows how to play it!!!

​@@duranmclemore8392 If you listen closely, you'll hear that the lower octave on that F# is actually played by a synth bass, and not the bass guitar. Although it's kind of difficult to detect unless you have quite good headphones so it can often sound like one instrument. Although having the bass player play both octaves there just seems unnecessarily difficult for a studio recording of a pop song don't ya think?

Easily the most famous bass line of all time.

Muse? Next to MJ and Queen? Neither I or any person that I know has ever listened to Muse. But even my grandma knows Billie Jean. Muse may be a great band, I have no idea; but in term of popularity, it's hard to top Billie Jean.

I used play these basslines for finger exercise literally.

Very well-played by a bassist that I'm sure plays all sorts of genres of music on many different guitars. Bravo!!

you're my favorite bassist !

Great job! I love that great classic bass line. Keep up the great video's.

This is the best cover I've ever heard!

Love this song and the very funky bass line :D Thank you for sharing :)

That is some clean playing!

Wowww guys....look the softly song of this Cover. Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for your time brother.

I think it was this video some time back, that helped me learn how to play this song. Thanks dude. You are an awesome bass player.

So smooth

Drummers and bass guitarists have a special stage bond.

Congrats, i really appreciate your contribution to the bass society!

lbc murphy. his bass is "so high" because he is a serious bass player and not a poser. the clue is his name "infusion".and his clean playing. most, almost all the world's best e-bassists are trained, disciplined fusion/jazz/funk/soul musicians, and they all have it up high, where it can be played clean, left and right hands, rather than dangling down by your knees for visuals, made popular in the 70's by the world's all time worst bass player, Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols. SO. DUDE! it was cliche and old already when whatisname of Nirvana did it in the 90's. make yer choice lad. Pose, or PLAY! Jaco Pastorious, almost all the truly great bassists play it up high.

Greetings Marktarmannpiano I do agree with you about the position of the bass as worn by many players. I observe that a majority of mainly rock type bassists wear the instrument practically round their ankles. Im not sure wether its just for posing or a measure of their skills or abilities.However what I do know is as a lifelong lover and player of bass guitars in various bands including rock though mostly soul funk and reggae I believe to fully be at one with an execution of the scales and to incorporate techniques such as slapping, hammerons, pulloffs, slurs, slides,as well as the occasional bass chords and comfortable pick use its much easier if your plucking is done with a slight bend at the elbow. This position furthermore allows a comfortable view of the fretboard especially for those who are wishing to really bond with the full range of the fretboard. For a few examples watch victor wooten, stanley clarke, or any of the featured bass guitar tutorials here on Utube. that said.... Flea of the Red hot chilli peppers is a phenomenal player who generally hangs his bass quite low. Playing position is entirely up to individual preference. The main thing is to enjoy the pleasure of this wonderful and fulfilling instrument. Wether your just sat in your bedroom dreaming of success one day or out there in a big stadium Have fun.... BLESSINGS...

Flea had to do it that way. for the pose. Chili Peppers are a very visual sell, between the singer's singing, the silly lyrics, and the minimal sound. I hardly ever sit down and "just listen" to them. Just tune in once in a blue moon for a dose of fun poppy wierd funky beach dude drugger stuff. I'll bet in the studio he's got it way up high for the "hard parts".

Nice sound, pretty smooth playing, well done !

Infusion, I am a bread baker by trade...Always wanted to play 6 strings, But because of 25 yrs. of punching dough, I can't. You are making me realize, by my having subscribed to your channel, that 4 strings are possible for me to play, and the fact holds true that the bass is the actual BACKBONE of a song...Cheers to you sir...

Wonderful

Amazing!

I really love it .... nice one... i hope i can learn this easily

WOW!

Parabéns , muito bom .

Awesome video!!!!! Nothing like a sound of BASS....especcially in the talented hands.
