    The solo is easy enough, its the fills that get harder every verse that have been killing me for years.
  • @riskromer9773
    "Music is a world within itself with a language we all understand..." damn right, Stevie!
  • Yesss. After a week, I can play it all the way through at 3/4 speed. Any my fingers are so sore I can't play anymore.
  • I remember having to play this in high school jazz band and never being able to nail down 1:04, felt somewhat embarrassed as i let the brass and horns do that part for me. 7 years later and only having come back to it a month or so ago after not having played this piece, i finally nailed down the whole song down to the random fill variations. All thanks to this video. Feels great man.

    This is seriously my favorite bass line
  • @davidrichard2098
    Nate is simply the best bass player. God,the hours he probably gave to learning and practicing
  • @borisfrenkie
    Another great cover. Searching for a bass cover of a specific song on YT and finding out that it was made by you is like winning a jackpot.
  • Blimey. I might come back to this in a year and see if I'm any closer. Ol' Stevie's bassist appears to have been having a contest with himself to see if he could play every note on the neck in one fill.

    This was one of the songs in our rotation in Jazz Band in high school...The "hard part" as we called it, was the part you had to learn and play to try out for Jazz Band...Thank god I played trumpet...never would have made it trying to play this on the bass.
  • Whoever asked for this song is a genius. Great song to request for you to play. Great job!
  • @georgezanis206
    Nathan Watts was 22 and had only been playing bass for 3-4 years when he came up with this masterpiece that is now a “must know” for bass players!
  • Just wanted to say thank you so much, you are amazingly talented and super helpful, God bless you
  • @signalsoldier
    A Nathan Watts masterpiece! A very unrecognized bass player.

    dude, I had to perform this song in college at least 15 times a week for many different audiences and I have to say that it is one of my most favorite songs too play and was one of my most intimidating songs to be assigned to learned for the set book as I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do I the justice it deserves. My opinion about you as a musician has changed 100% bc this song (if you know how to listen) tells you so much about the performing bassists personality and yours is shinning bright like a diamond!!! easily my favorite video so far. Performance attitude was so much more alive than any other video you have made! love it bro, keep it up and let's phase out those damn tabs!! I would be happy, honored, and motivated to be the notation Guy for your channel and transcribe all of the music in your videos. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THAT POSITION IS AVAILABLE TO FILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’ve been trying to get this for the better part of the month and I’m finally playing it for my instructor at the end of the week! This video was a godsend thanks so much :)
  • Guitar player here learning bass - your channel is incredible, so glad I found you!
