Bass Sweep Picking

[Chalkaspis]

Sounds like tuning a radio! XD - it was great!

[listenyoursoul]

es un sweep de 3 cuerdas basico...pero me latio mucho los arreglitos que le metio =)

[bitethis47]

ur using ur index fr three strings..and the last string another fiinger??

[mitch84Bass]

@bitethis47 no, these are regular sweep arpeggios...3/4 fingers, but i didn't do it very well cause i did it too fast...look the last video for better execution

[guitarmetal230596]

[xxHolyxxWolfsbanexx]

Nice bass. John Myung Yamaha's are rare, I bet.

[esrocknene]

[vladimir11manson]

When I first saw this technique on a vid by Alexi Laiho I almost jumped off the window

[greenw876]

this is the greek god of bass

[bubsadoozy]

Regardless if he's using a pick, holy shit that would be hard to do on those strings. Fucking nicely done. Bass like this sounds nice actually too, listen to Protest the Hero.

[mijonja]

For me, ther is no musical value. Just technical.

[niallyeah]

This is really nice to listen to...

[KingZerxst]

Ancient Covenant or nothing

[dcdeal001]

[Dirtyghettomexican]

[MrSFblack]

[CyValkarion]

EPIC. FUCKING. AWESOMENESS.

[jerey34]

[MrSFblack]

[jerey34]

@MrSFblack

[newpariah]

[keganjgrode]

[Apemopo]

[thecrashinghighways]

[antifaithfront]

holy shit that was amazing.

[jorgebassmaster22]

NICE!

[dornerd]

He secretly wants to play the guitar, but his father forced him to play the bass, poor man.

[JavieRegaladoBass]

@dornerd i dont think he wants to play the guitar, why? in the bass u can do everything u do on guitar and MORE, only because ur father rapes u doesn't mean that my father or mitch`s father do the same thing, poor man...

[GreyGecko94]

aaannndd I just jizzed my pants... yup.

[JamesG335]

Go back to playing guitar!!!

Not alot of songs need that kind of bass playing.

[Sindwiller]

@JamesG335 Go eat a dick. :P

[superstriker00]

@JamesG335 So? He could change the stge for bassists.

[statsevich]

nice dude! how long you have played? 

[sandiegoDM]

holy smokes, hope I can get to your level one day buddy. amazing.

[phillybob233]

spider hands

[CheetahFries123]

sounds pretty doughty :D

[Kalikantzaros69]

this is just fast.. it does not sounds good...

[monkeyman8080]

@Kalikantzaros69 no shit. hes just showing his ability to sweep pick.

[Thunderklok]

i dunno, this kid is obviously good, but if there's a bunch of dead notes (click, click, click) then your trying to play faster than your able too...slow it down until you get it down

[LP0FireBird0LP]

The first part is fucking sweet.

Cool, man. Not into the whole pick thing, but cool.

[theblackhalo]

this sucks, and is sloppy

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

@theblackhalo id love to see u do better u fuckin faggot get a life

[theblackhalo]

@CodyOfTheWarzone

haha man, il let you know when I have a vid up. It wont be with this piss weak pick sweeping either. it will be proper bass sweeping. Relax.

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

@theblackhalo i really dont giv a shit how good u r dont dis other peoples vids just cuz u think ur better!

[theblackhalo]

@CodyOfTheWarzone

I never said I was going to do better, I just dont see how people like you cant see the faults in this playing. Don't get so emotional and ease up on the tears you bitch.

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

@theblackhalo call me a bitch again and i'll find u and beat the shit out of u.

[theblackhalo]

@CodyOfTheWarzone BITCH

hahaha come find me!

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

@theblackhalo ok but u hav to pay for my ticket to australia...

[theblackhalo]

@CodyOfTheWarzone Done, just go to the airport and there will be a guy holding a sign saying "Bitch". Walk up to him, tell him your are the bitch he speaks of. Then he will take you to a private jet, your pilot will be John Travolta. You will catching up on some sleep whilst flying over the north pacific, when you are woken from your slumber by Mr Travolta jamming his huge dick in your throat. You will enjoy this as you are a bitch..... The End.

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

@theblackhalo haha okay funny guy. now seriously come to maine and then u can talk shit

[theblackhalo]

@CodyOfTheWarzone

yeah thumbs up champ, thats a really logical idea.

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

@theblackhalo seriously shut the fuck up

[theblackhalo]

@CodyOfTheWarzone

hahaha ooooooo. getting pissed off are we?

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

@theblackhalo u can tlk all the shit u want bcuz i hav no idea who u r. if u knew me in person u wouldnt hav an attitude with me like u r now.

[theblackhalo]

@CodyOfTheWarzone

Nah, I probably would.

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

@theblackhalo yea u say that now bitch

[theblackhalo]

@CodyOfTheWarzone

Well its the only time I'm gonna say it, because its not like I'm actually gonna come to Maine, that would be a waste of my time and money.

[CodyOfTheWarzone]

@theblackhalo ok look we all know this video doesnt express the best bass sweeps. the only reason i got mad bfor was bcuz i dont like it when people shit all over everyone elses videos. im sorry that i got snappy with that first comment i wrote. im not going to argue anymore.

[rollero007]

IS FUCKING COOL!!!!!!!!

[Apreciateifyoudidnt]

IS THAT A WHITE SNOOP DOG!!!!????

[devotodeloputrefacto]

@Apreciateifyoudidnt fo shizzle

[Giftzazaza]

Good

[fuckamerica109]

1/5

[skateflip132]

@fuckamerica109 troll

[Darkestfeartheband]

do you use a pick, also this is great

[2442sheep]

@Darkestfeartheband idiot

[akidbudak123]

wow, pick up guitar, i bet u would make an awesome one XD

[aidange2]

very impressive, but bass isn't really made for doing that sort of thing...

[SirAwsomness]

then why does it have so many frets and strings? for looks?

[aidange2]

I honestly don't know...and I wasn't talking about how the bass was built I meant what the bass is meant to do musically...

[SirAwsomness]

i know but both go hand in hand. drums are supposed to keep rhythm and thats it. but the drums get less criticism than the bass when it comes to solos.

??????????????????

[aidange2]

well bass solos and playing a meldoic bass line are good, but I can't really see this adding to the music, especially when it's much easier to do on synth...

[jfcmjfcmjfcm]

in melodic/technical death/black metal this is used all the time

[aidange2]

OK, that's cool, but it doesn't really seem neccesary, especially when you can do it with a synthesizer...

[jfcmjfcmjfcm]

@aidange2 the point is to do it with the instruments, and i dont see why bands shouldnt do it, sounds awesome

[HeavenFort]

@aidange2

why do it with a synth when you can do it with a bass? why beung happy with "easy" when you can do ti like that? I would respect a band way more if they did it with a bass than with a synth.

[aidange2]

fine, whatever floats your boat...

[LokiNTB]

@HeavenFort Respect the bass player not the band for it I say - nowadays any band would show off a band doing this unless they were noobs

[HeavenFort]

@LokiNTB

You are right, I did not use the correct words there.

[yeebeascurvydawg]

@HeavenFort

why? would you respect him even more if he could play using only his elbows?

[HeavenFort]

@yeebeascurvydawg

not really. and if you look below your comment you will see that I said that wrong.

[thefooj]

@HeavenFort i don't understand why musicians are "respected" more for playing the same thing in a more difficult manner. as long as it sounds the same, what's the difference?

[HeavenFort]

@aidange2

an instrument is made to do w/e you want it to do.

[Guyverhoeven]

@aidange2

bullshit.... you can do anything you want on it there are no rules

[dinoboss]

awesome

[jubjub09222]

how do you pick while sweep picking on bass without using a pick? I anyone can give any tips.

[unoriginalson]

If you guys want to see some arpeggio shapes for sweeping on bass check out my video response. I've got two octave Major, minor, Augmented, and diminished shapes.

[unoriginalson]

...tabs included.

[Mischa1984Su]

i understand its hard tol play it that fast on a bass,but goddamn go play that on guitar

[jareds1007]

Sweeping on bass like in this video is really hard to do....without a pick especially...and without a pick, in my opinion, sounds way better.

[BodomBeachBrett]

pretty easy with a pick though lol, if you fiddle around with the amp it sounds exactly the same

[jareds1007]

I suppose I wouldn't know unless I tried eh?

[toriisjr]

wow it looks like its in fast forward. nice man :)

[sttss55]

i think my ears just came hahah thanks for the inspiration! itd be hella awesome if you put up some sweeping lessons to man

[Seymroth]

You should've seen my face O_o

***** and subbed.

[SlaughterTheFrail]

You have to use a pick...hence the name sweep PICKING.

[ezmo776]

you dont need to use a pick while sweep picking on a bass, i actually think its easier to do it without one

[SlaughterTheFrail]

O rly? Shows how smart i am :S

[5kWarPeace5k]

@SlaughterTheFrail no you dont need a pick i use my thumb and index like most ppl that sweep on bass do

[SlaughterTheFrail]

I know, I just don't know much about bass =/

[CapitalismOwnz]

I've tried learning that but all I can do so far is fingerpick stacked triads extremely fast so that it sounds like sweeping even though it isn't.

[maidenicarus06]

Picking doesnt necessarily mean using a pick you dipshit... you can you either or and still be able to sweep.

[jareds1007]

I actually would consider picking to be using a pick.....but it's all in the eye of the beholder...could just call it sweeping...any way....I made my own comment up at the top...I'm not trying to be a d!~#

[Bassist4TBTH]

Hey man I bet you get asked this a lot but what's the general pattern you're sweeping there? Your fingers move too fast for me to see hahaha

[coffeecake917]

i fucking envy your john myung signature bass.

[CrazyD131]

DAMN

[helloheyohh]

ok thkns i thought it wld be a nother b

[helloheyohh]

plz don't hate me but i wanna know which is the added sixth string?

liek i know five string has an added lower b

what does the 6th and 7th string basses have added on 'em?

[thenameiwantedwasnta]

sometimes its low F# and somtimes higher c or b

[jasonkruger1313]

It would be the C for the 6th string. were the high E would be on a guitar.

[Chocobo49]

Normally its a B

[joebabbitts2]

a high C for a six string

[heresjonnylawl]

@helloheyohh High C generally

[newpariah]

technicly, sure hes good, but he uses the same finger patterns over and over. there is just no variation in this. and also, its like the easiest pattern you can do, sweep wise

[187ripper]

stop hating

[sup4nuk3lt]

lol nice.

[aarongtr180]

REALLY clean. You're great at bass.

[sangsaratrip]

pretty good, is it possible to mute the strings going up?

[DarthWong47]

that's pretty good man

[geganobo]

It sounds cool, but there are plenty people on youtube that do it with all 6/7 strings

[MrMan7861]

sorta reminds me of Viraemia

[metallofolle]

you use a pick?

[SirSnipesalot93]

It looks like he does.

[metallofolle]

it's fuckin' good man!!!!

[UnknownRex33]

wow i really have nothing say to that

[boofrideres]

sweeping was really good dude! I love that shit!

[ntflg0dl0rd]

dude u wanna be in a tech death band?

[pocabarba]

Dude, this is ridiculous, you are simply amazing *-* great job =)

[6691alexb]

Man just take up guitar ur might as well, awsome sweeps thought very clean this was posted 2007 I can imagine the speed now

[BananaRDP]

6691alexb-

why waste your skill on a guitar when you can sweep on a bass?

[Dyscention]

yeah, thats why theres hardly any good bassists

they change to guitar

[The29575]

waaww!! bass 6 stirngs lol

mann ur awesome 0_0!

[juannalgaspeludas]

Fuck Yeah!!!

º_º

[chuckotd]

THAT SOUNDED LIKE THROW UP

[Bazzlemedazzle]

cool

[aphalga]

Awesome

[BassSlasher]

Awesome man!

[girlofwar2]

bassists are the backbone of the band. any1 who thinks bass is lame is ignorant. i personally play guitar and my friend plays bass. though there are some things harder on guitar, bass is more difficult to master and should be a respected instrument. lol notice how the jonas bothers don't have a bassist. backbonless losers............... nice sweeping i can barely do that on guitar.

[Metallica6153]

awsome

[AKiehle11]

sped up....

[EricLikeGuitar]

Its not sped up u idiot.

[thedamondude]

is not

[Guyverhoeven]

haha haters..; the saddest group of people....

[silentologist]

ROFL

[katieonthecoast]

Excuse me, but bass players are just as crucial to bands as drummers.

Just saying, I'd think a little before you say something like that next time. Bass players aren't a "sad group or people." They're very needed in the music world.

[katieonthecoast]

& just because it looks easy to you doesn't mean it is. I can always hear the bass because I used to play bass myself, so I pick up on the sound.

Just because the lead guitar has more solos in metal and rock, doesn't mean that the guitar is the hardest intrument to play.

Like every other instrument, it takes time and practice to become a good musician. & bass is only slightly important? Bass and drums are the core of the band. Your stupid guitar would sound like shit without a bass player.

[JaysonC117]

i agree that drums are the core but bass dont make me laugh. every riff from a song on bass is just an easier version of the guitar riff. id like to see what would happen at a show if you started playing a gay bass solo. people would laugh... i would laugh

[katieonthecoast]

You're such a fucking dumbass, I can't even believe you.

Bass notes are the core of every chord you play. So be grateful that you have a bass player, especially since you're not appreciative of them at all.

Obviously you don't know much about playing bass, since you're saying it's easy to play. Maybe you should learn a little more before you start running your mouth about shit you don't know anything about.

[Orphen01]

You think that just because you only hear to bands that, in fact, suck.

Guitar can be easy too, and drums. Just because you haven't heard a good bass player doesn't mean the instrument sucks.

[d3lw1n]

well, watch this video "Adam Nitti-Skitzo-Balance", upload a video of you playing it, THEN we can talk, you're an ignorant, learn to appreciate all instruments because like it or not they will continue to exist, I'll be waiting for the video...

[thedamondude]

JaysonC117, dude you have no idea the intricacies of bass. Yes there are awesome guitar riffs, but dood there are some bass lines that guitarist cant barely play dood. Ever listen to "Laberinto" by "Hiroshima Will Burn"??

[JaysonC117]

i just dont like bass im not a bassist. i do like necrophagist their bassist is really good

[dpearson80808]

you probably know nothing about music as well.

[bonestorm99]

Try sweep picking on acoustic.
