Add me to the list of "thank you's". I found your channel just recently and you were a HUGE help in me learning some Def Leppard songs for a show later this week. If you lived near me I'd be happy to buy you a coffee or a beer or whatever!
Keep up the good, no, GREAT work!

@Constantine
Thanks for the labor of love. Excellent work.

I am particularly impressed by your transcription skills. Any tips there?

Sometimes I crank up Constantine's Deep Purple Perfect Strangers lesson when I'm cruising in the car!

Love Constantine!

Please do “Blue Sky” by the Allman Brothers or “Mr. Big” by Free. I can usually wing them decently, but I’m in no way true to the recording. With Spring popping up, I feel my Allman Brothers kick resurfacing.

Cool, I’ll google it, find the issue, get it off EBay if possible. Or, with some miracle, someone will scan it.

Bumping this up in 2019 for anyone who hasn’t had the pleasure of finding his channel. Thank you so much @Constantine !!!

 

[Constantine]

Thanks Erik for thinking of me. Cheers

Discovered Constantine about two months ago when trying to sort out my timing for Hey Jude, which i wasn't just quite getting for some reason. A couple of views later and now playing it with confidence. Every time I'm struggling with a bass line I always refer to Constantine. He's simply bang on with his interpretation of bass lines for so many songs. Thanks, for your time, energy and for sharing all your work with us.

Thanks Constantine. Last fall we were doing School's Out (Alice Cooper), and I had an old book with transcriptions. But it didn't seem quite right.

So then I found Constantine's channel and his version was perfect. Good work.

@Constantine you are the go to channel for bass. I find myself learning songs I may not have thought about. Keep it up

One thing I've always wondered Constantine: Are you in a band??

No I'm not. I consider YouTube as my band. I get to pick what style I want to play. I would like to be in a band and play live, but that seems out of reach at this time.

Out of reach? How??? You play everything! LOL!

 

[Oddly]

I'd say that's the problem right there.
Where would you find musicians good enough to keep up with him?
