www.how-to-play-bass.com Heres the next in our mini series of how to play bass lessons on Rolling Stones tunes. This lesson looks at a bass line that will get you through the song START ME UP. There are only two sections to the tune – the verse and the chorus. But the original line has subtle variations of rhythm and approach notes all the way through. Ive simplified this so you can play something authentic – but yet appear to be playing spontaneously.

OMEGA London 2012 ‘Start Me Up’ TV Commercial (Long version)
Its been 80 years since OMEGA first timed an Olympic Games, and as Official Timekeeper for London 2012, OMEGA Watches will once again bear witness to Olympic glory. Its also 50 years since the Rolling Stones became a band and just over 31 years since "Start Me Up" first entered the charts! To mark this dual occasion, OMEGA has produced an extended Games-themed television commercial (a short version has also been released). The footage features the Rolling Stones classic hit "Start Me Up", remixed especially for the commercial by producer Don Was. The on-screen footage features Chinese diver Qiu Bo, US swimmer Natalie Coughlin, British heptathlete Jessica Ennis, US sprinter Tyson Gay, South African swimmer Chad Le Clos and US pole vaulter Jenn Suhr — all Olympic hopefuls and OMEGA Brand Ambassadors. The focus is on the athletes routines and concentration in the pivotal minutes and seconds before competition, a moment in time for each athlete that can set the tone for a potentially life-changing performance.
