What an astoundingly beautiful piece of skillfully played music this is. I was a guitarist for decades before arthritis set in, I tried playing fretless bass, it's an extremely difficult instrument to 'master' but this guy makes it look almost effortless. The skillful playing is important, rather than focusing on the instrument being played, we hear and fully appreciate the music.

I literally couldn’t tell when he was playing the bass or the melody like wtaf dude that was nuts 0:55 onwards

Beautiful. Fun fact: Elton John once said that this was one of the most amazing songs ever written, while the guys from Metallica were sitting in the front seat in the audience. Hetfield's mind was blown.

Musical talents are like others : doable. You just need to put efforts in it and you'll get there. Don't doubt of yourself, the first step is always the hardest ! Buy a good but cheap bass or any instrument, mix music theory with song learning and you'll have a quite good level rapidly. As always the hard thing is to put consistency in, otherwise it's fun and if you're really interested in learning an instrument, you'll get there in no time ! No excuses anymore, it's time to chase what you really want bro 🙌🤘

I could easily listen to the whole song, with the solo, etc., regardless this is quite a long song originally. Because you played it with so much sensibility and perfection. I wish you would play more themes and songs in this style...! Fretless, tapping, harmony and beautiful melodies...
