Kajagoogoo - Too Shy - bass lesson video free download
By popular demand I present this incredible bass line from the truly talented Nick Beggs of Kajagoogoo. Playing my G&L L2000 (BABE Edition) in single coil mode, both pickups active, with everything all the way up. I am playing it "my way." Please don't bother with "that's not exactly right" comments. That's getting quite old. Enjoy!
UPDATE: I may re-do this video but for the meantime know that the 5th and 6th notes in the chorus are F and G not G and A as I played it. So, the first part of the chorus goes - low D high D G A F G high G high G
Also, there is a tab out there written by Beggs himself. After studying it I realized that what I am playing is more of a hybrid between the bass and the "synth bass" lines. At times they are doing quite different things and it can be hard to pick out the notes.

Great video helped out with a sticking point in the song.But really, people are amazed at those of us that can sing AND play?I can play this one ... easy!!! While singing it!!!!! It's just a matter of disconnecting your left and right brains from the sync! Once you have stopped that it's easy, your arms and hands and fingers to do whatever they need too.The more you do it the better you/ it gets!Again great video!!!!!9 years ago

Zuma, you Sir are my hero! Often imitated but never duplicated! Your videos are far and away superior in every way and for that I thank you. Your groove on the fretboard is incredible. I have been a fan for years of your lessons but finally had to give a shout. Thanks for making videos with the classic Zuma smooth approach. Cheers! 10 years ago
