Nina Simone - My Baby Just Cares For Me [BASS COVER] - with notation and tabs

Details

Description

Time to get jazzy on the channel! I love this tune, and I love that it was requested by a Patron. Thanks Helio. Nina is so cool here. The whole track is just so perfect in its carefree execution - such a beautiful, simple, warm jazz tune.

Short of recording this on upright bass, I figured the best I could do would be to at least use upright fingerings - ie just the 1st, 2nd, and 4th fingers. I also used a bit of left hand muting to get a bit less sustain and hopefully emulate the upright tone a bit more.

Enjoy everyone!
