Bass cover - Future Islands / Seasons (Waiting On You)

Like many people, I first heard this incredible song when Future Islands performed on the Late Show with David Letterman in 2014. Samuel T. Herring's vocal performance was just mind-blowingly exciting and the sound of the band was so fresh. I immediately loved William Cashion's bass part too - it just sits in the pocket so sweetly and provides such a sense of drive to the whole song. Perfection.

The basic parts are as follows:

** ABOUT GUY'S BASS CHANNEL
These bass covers aren't designed to be exact copies of the originals.
They're just a bunch of songs I've loved learning and playing over the years.
The bassline I play is always pretty close to the original, but each one is my interpretation, so they do feature the occasional tweak.
Hopefully you'll enjoy them, particularly if you're learning to play bass and they help you to do that.
