Slipknot - Before I Forget Bass Cover

[supersawneekfan]

That was a good cover man

[yoman1268]

if u want the tabs go on ultimate guitar.com they have the whole song on bass the right way

[deathchrush79]

i did the same like you... playin' by ear. (on my guitar...)

[daniel14bradford]

awesome man i like how the intro sounded on the bass

[MALSTRUMX]

What kind of camera u use? and how did u get it to pick up the bass so clearly?

[tonymtlwpg]

Is playing bass hard??? I've always wanted to learn. Tried guitar and failed.

[MrPunksmash]

@tonymtlwpg it's hard if u want it to be hard, i play bass and i always think ''im going to make it'' and with attitude u can do whatever u want

[matthewlunatick420]

...

[kenijey123]

you played great .

[JayseWeaver]

What gauge are your strings? I try to drop my tuning that low on my 4 string and it sounds like absolute shit.

[xXdatAWEZOMdoodXx]

NOW THAT is some smooth-ass bass!

[jontyboy8675309]

nice tits bubba

[Sly5932]

a tribut to the best Bassist ever : R.I.P Paul Gray ( I salute you)

[heavymetal162]

[TheSummerCoast]

Ok Paul nice joke now get out of that jjjibon costume

[TheReMaxXx]

[awpvscamp]

He made it before he forget how to play a bass

[bamks4rap96]

man i got one thing to say

Paul Gray is proud of you:D!!

[TheGigettyBrothers]

you got the same bass as me

[cadchhdbdc]

did you tune e to b and so on?

[coolfacedotjaypeg]

@cadchhdbdc

The tuning is drop b (B,F#,B,E)

[IWATCH2MUCHTV97]

nice beard yo

[MegaDragonHero]

actualy the bass and the lead guitar do the solo and the rythem guitar does background chords then bacground palm muting but anyway really good job

[nana12356hippy]

nice dude awesome bass what kinda bass is that

RIP PAUL GRAY<3

[N3DR0B]

I'm not sure this is the right tuning. But I can't work it out. Virtually all their songs have weird tunings. Also there are three tabs of this song online one at songterr and two at ultimate guitar. Hope this helps. I also think it is easier with a pick. Just cause Paul grey used one doesn't mean you have to.

[pandaape1]

dude r u using a pick? come on use ur fingers u r playing the bass !!!!!

[MrMatyboy3000]

@pandaape1 paul played with pick......... nuff said

[NickBPITW]

that is bad

[Lindagreen95]

thats sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DestynCore]

The chains on the bass are kickass!

[MrPottl]

yeah! can u send me the tabs on my profil? :D

[Qc1booboo]

welllllll that was pretty nice to listen to thanks.

[MrJorgeDX]

You got the most Terrifying mask of SLIPKNOT =D

[kornrokn]

[Marlog4000]

[XxXxzoloXxXx]

Thumbs up for amazing song!! :D

[werto567]

good job man Paul would be proud

[themaggotcherry18]

(SIC)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UltimateDarkhorse]

hey man, what tuning is used for this song?

[Emceetem]

I did this without tabs on my friends bass he just got it that day, i Had watched a couple of cover videos and my friend was like "how long did you practice that".

:P

songs easy as hell if you have trouble, you suck.

All slipknot instrument guys are lazy you can cover most of their songs easily.

[sax11111111]

What Drop ?

[transformerindenmark]

R.I.P. PAUL GRAY, THE BEST BASSIST EVER!!!

[transformerindenmark]

R.I.P. PAUL GRAY, THE BEST BASSIST EVER!!!

[kylereavis]

r.i.p paul gray and you should be the new bassist of slipknot but i am not saying u could replace him because no one can

[XxDisturbedSissyXx]

I think you stole my bass. What do you have?

[kylereavis]

@XxDisturbedSissyXx it looks like a fender

[jjibon]

@XxDisturbedSissyXx yeah i stole your bass O_o. It's a behringer starter pack bass. Long been made into firewood now.

[METALLICAxFanx97]

@jjibon not firewood,u cuda gave it to mee! lol jk.

[AmericanDeathHead]

@jjibon You made me laugh...firewood.

[jjibon]

@XxDisturbedSissyXx yep I stole your bass O_o. it's a behringer starter pack bass. Long retired now. I use a MM Sterling nowadays.

[RewinDxFaTe]

[slipknotmetalhead13]

Paul would be proud man!!!!! keep it up

R.I.P Paul #2

[RingoDude66]

R.I.P. Paul Gray

[70slipknotfan]

RIP Paul :(

[Jerik94]

You are awesome dude !:)

Make more covers :D

[mccman101]

what type of bass is this?

[Agentkeks1]

this is shit

[ilonaaaxD]

I like it (:

[bassplayer209]

dude, you go from a Behringer bass to a Musicman? thats cool

[16coreprocessor23]

we have exactly the same bass: fender precision bass, but mines a squier

[maxbarsby]

@16coreprocessor23 so completely different basses

[chiigiirl666]

Awesome playin~

BTW, is that a Marina bass?

It looks exactly like mine.

[EvenHummROCKS]

I dig that metal chain on your bass, i´m gonna get one for my fender.

[R3beI]

I had the same problem most ppl think they dnt hear the bass (some bands u do like sick puppies) like bands dnt need em but when u take the bass away u like wtf and it sounds mad differant. like listen to a song then listen to it without the bass and then u tell me if u need bass or not

[818KLOWNER]

@R3beI yeah thats bullshit we dont need bass BASS IS FUCKIN AWSOME i think it has a raw hardcore sound idk maybe thats just me but yeah bass is kind of like rythm to the drums and compliments guitar even vocals at times but yeah this dude coverin the song rocks. BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TO MY EARS

[MetalHeadJimi93]

@818KLOWNER My thoughts exactly. I'm a guitarist, but I'm gonna get rid of it soon. I'm gonna get a bass and show people THAT BASS GUITAR IS FUCKING AWESOME AND IMPORTANT!!!

P.S: R.I.P Paul Gray

[DarkRaviForDeath]

@MetalHeadJimi93 man most people who play gutiar wish they played bass but for me its the other way around-i just started on xmas-and i want to play guitar because it seems life more fun because you have all of the melodies and stuff for most songs-not necessarily for metal because the bass follows the guitar a lot but stone sour would be more fun on the guitar

[RandomnessM]

@R3beI Which btw (sick puppies) are fucking amazing! I love them so much, another example where you hear the bass would be Tool

[MetalHeadJimi93]

@R3beI Everytime I listen to a song when bass is rarely heard or not in a song, I always shake my head in disapproval.

[rskogman]

so... most of the song is played on the E string?

really liked your cover, 5 stars

[Christarasthebest]

@rskogman yes in the E string except some notes on the A string when theguitars are playing solo...but must change the Tuning...:-////

[BDSK8ER]

Haha nice is that a squire I think I have the same bass as u

[SlobkSlayer6695]

cool

[joeyjaspers]

The only talented people in the band or the guitarist, and the percussionist. Just my 2 cents. Also thing songs fairly easy. Sounds heavier if you slap the intro riff.

[wowaddict1111]

Paul grey is amazing also look up henk zinger from god dethroned he plays the same parts as the guitar its crazy and slipknot with out bass would suck ass.

[0oConorJRoystono0]

@wowaddict1111 R.I.P Paul !

[dannppp]

@wowaddict1111 its gray

[miniandbigfilms]

@wowaddict1111 people who don't know how to spell Paul Gray's name right suck ass..

[FleshStarvingBass]

@wowaddict1111 We call that "unisono".

[Jakeoffline]

@wowaddict1111 this comment is ironic :L RIP paul

[10JOEYJORDISON10]

@wowaddict1111 Paul is amazing but if you're gunna talk about him, give him the respect and AT LEAST spell his damn name rite...

[06wraightm]

@10JOEYJORDISON10 Paul also used his fingers.

[SkidRo123]

which percussionist? theres 2

[Heino2494]

oh man.. these are the guitar tabs!

i did it by ear :DD

[SuperSamBarlow]

just follow the lowest note in the chords or is there only playing one string play tht simple : ) my bass teacher taught me this today and now im happy.

[Awayze]

Nice cover and bass.

Slipknot's bassist is shit, he's not as good as the two ORIGINAL Metallica bassists ie Cliff and Jason.

[Hedukfan23]

how can u play that with out ur e string rattling?

[jadenj5]

he uses thicker strings

[gfvbd]

sweet guitar i have the same on i could pick it out anywhere Slammer by Hamer

[legion080808]

hey ive got the entire song down except for the part between 2.33 and 3.26. if anyone could help me thatd be great cus i cant even find proper tabs for that part

[skateflip31]

awsome bass playing but no offense to you but does anyone not use i pick i want to see some Technique like u type in bass cover 90% of people use picks bass was meant to be played with the fingers

[legion080808]

@skateflip31 i hear ya i play this song all the time, i use my fingers and i think it sounds a lot better.

[utmobbad]

Pfft, the bass is just supposed to be played.

If a pick sounds better, use a fucking pick.

Been playing bass for almost 12 years so i do have some knowledge. Damnit.

[SuperSamBarlow]

NOOOO Orchestra bass's were sposed to b played with your fingers, todays rock, metal, altenative etc etc call for a faster playing style. SOO if its not too much trouble and somebody finds it easier anybdy can play with a pick thanks.

[LethalViiper]

@SuperSamBarlow i totally agree, it pisses me off seeing people trying to pluck really fast using their fingers, plectrum all the way for me.

[Snowmanfilmz]

for the chorus u should try out top string 2 00 5 00 5 42

[V3xify]

Why would he do that if its wrong? listen to the song, man..

[Lenzkslipk]

Capooo

[HonorableTheft]

oh wow that was haunting and awesome at the same time :o 5 starts! d-^-^-b thums up

[limitbreak619]

good work awesome now i lets this stared whith my practice

[yeatilyaskate]

dang this is like the fith video ive watched where the guy has a Lotus like mine

[LegoFTW9]

lol

[XXVolcomSkaterGirlXX]

im gettind a B.C Rich revenge warlock and is it the same tuning as B F B C?

[TheNomadHero]

You're so good man. Nice cover. Now I want to learn this song.

[samaheta]

@TheNomadHero. it's pretty easy song to learn.

[IhqBassPlayer]

is your bass benton

[MarceloBassist]

jiibon can u give me a tab? sff

[ROCKINJD08]

basses rule!!! :P

[metroidmaniac67]

I can hear the bass is slipknot and if anyone can't hear it like that guitar herofan guy he doesn't know what the bass sounds like.

[jjibon]

hahaha. look at my other videos. I was playing finger style long before I picked up a pick. if the song is played with a pick I will cover it with a pick. simple as that.

[guitarherofan985]

Yah I guess so. My oppinion Paul Grey isnt that great of a bass player, but when you listen to slipknot the bass isnt such a big deal when you have the freaking percussion going!!!! So I mean Slipknots great!!!! And they are my favorite band ever but they could probably pass and be a great band without a bassist.

[sfedf1]

yh... but no coz Paul Gray is oe of the only remaining founding members of slipknot so he's basically the core of the band tradition he's seen every guitarist/drummer/vocalist so yh it couldn't really be Slipknot without Paul Gray

[afronirvana]

and he does a big amount of writing the songs

[johlu515]

yeah, paul is great, but not as great as other ones... and finger style, if you know how to handdle it, is awesome for death, progresive and technical... but live, there is some times paul plays with fingers... sometimes...

[XXXWiziManXXX]

very good played, im I play it but my bass must be more loud, how can i put the 4th in B?

[vitom30able]

good cover

[worldof12]

awsome cover!!!! and whats that hanging from your bass? it looks awsome!

[xPowerxRangers]

Chain necklace

[System141]

Very good cover

[ManelituhxD]

amazing

[EMOapaa]

nice :D

[NickBrakerKid]

hey man nice cover^^ very well

[Ashwozer2K8]

Beginner bassists should go on to gear4music and get the g4m beginners bass for £84 bargin

[Samica2093]

Trouble with that is that people tend to pick up how to play bass quick so within 3 or 4 weeks that beginners bass is pretty much useless and just sits in the corner collecting dust.

[sourceofflames]

WellDone

[MrDeathcore15]

hey dudes, ehm...I'd like to begin bass lessons...but I don't know what bass I need to buy....does anybody propose something for beginners?

[phunkyphreek]

Go into your local music store and buy a beginners kit. I picked one up for around £150. Should include; bass, strap and amp. That's your best bet.

[rubsak476]

nice ur pretty good

[666TheBassMasta666]

what are your amp settings?

[d3ath5kull]

well...it sound nice,but it's not 100% correctly,in the chorus you got some wrong notes D:

[Melermometal]

Bass can be much cooler than guitar. Just depends on who's playing it.

[xxSDMFx]

try and make a successful band without a bass

[andylish20]

Oops I accidently gave you a thum down... sorry! It should be a "thumb up" :)

[kylerguitarist]

awesome man

[Ravenite1]

Actually its a good learning experience to tab this yourself by ear, and if you cant, then you have a long way to go so you better start with an easy song like this one

[MetalBassist73]

well when they ask you for tabs they want you to make some probably and post them somewhere and send them to that person. but i dont want any i can manage with this vid. most of the tabs i found suck. anyways great cover. impressive that u did it by ear.

[Ravenite1]

Oh ok I just read your description, n/m

[Ravenite1]

Really nice cover by the way

[Ravenite1]

Uh... how did you play this on the 4 string?? Did you tune your E string to a B??

[BassArmstrong1]

wow nice... great bassist watched all ur covers.. btw anychance of you sending me the tabs please??

[JoeMurphy2008]

how long u been playing for?

[jjibon]

little over 2 years now.

[Fashuram]

did you play guitar be4?

[jjibon]

nope

[killingloneleyness01]

2 years, not to bad, ive been playing since 2000, keep up the good wirk

[TayPlaysBass]

nice but paul uses a 5 string and at the beginning its open and then second on the low b string...but i cant play it so i shouldnt be talking....anyways nice cover

[Him1411]

@TayPlaysBass paul doesnt play 5 string, he always uses 4

[TayPlaysBass]

i thought it was 5...and really you read all the comments on the video? cuz i posted it 2 months ago

[kaine22111]

nice... i am trying to learn the cover to this song...all i need to do is get the tempo

[AvatarOfChuckNorris]

uh dont mock me if im wrong but is that a behringer?

[jjibon]

yep it is

[erhitfm]

dude i wouldn't even dream of tuneing my 4 string down to B i just use my 5 string. nice cover.
