  • this is the way i learned to play it.. i tought myself by ear though.....

  • i see many videos each with different way to play this. and all you guys say they are all wrong.. ill go with this cause this way is easy to play and to other nubs like me sounds pefect. yes i know there are other.. better ways to play this.. but you would say that way is wrong 2. chances are people looking this up arent really that good at bass anyway.. if they were they wouldnt need this video.... so dont hate so much on those just tryin to learn a song they like to have fun playin it.

  • you should play it in the right key though

  • guys, leave him alone, i learned the song by watching this, sure he is playing it wrong and the guitar needs tuning but ho hum, if you look at the comments, i think you'l find, you dont need to tell him anymore, enough people have said it

  • before learning anything else. try working on not getting that buzz on the strings

  • Wow, that was not good at all. You're bass was out of tune, and you should play it on your A instead of E. And your fingering is just, off. Keep at it though, you have some potential

  • your bass i EXTREEMLY out of tune

    because of that its hooooorrible and sloppy... if it were tuned right it would sound really good

  • Lmfao this guy prolly can't even really play bass. the fingering is so amateur

  • @psean95 he probably thought HEY I FOUND THIS AT GUITAR CENTER and then made a tutorial

  • valeu cara você pode me umas dicar para iniciantes em baixo?

  • Mmm mkk it was an okay tutorial haha some things you could have done better was like talk in the vid tho and ur missing the slide!

  • You can also play il between first and second chord only on second and third key. :)

    Good cover! :) Why do you use two fingers for a key?

  • You can also play il between first and second chord only on second and third key. :)

    Good cover! :)

  • Too low!!!!!!

    It starts on the fuckin D string, moron!!!! >,>

    LRN2BASS.

  • @Thescreamingcucumber Fuck you, it was a pretty good tutorial.

  • @edctgbujm123 maybe for fucktards like you that cant play by ear

  • @Thescreamingcucumber I can, but this is close enough to fool most people.

  • right or not its the only way i can make my own bass sound like the real one

  • yamaha rbx 170:D:D i have too

  • you are out of tune and you are playing the song in the WRONG key...

  • it in drop d

  • WRONG!!!

  • I don't care what the rest of people say, you helped me a lot! Thank you.

  • this is so wrng u dont have any idea

  • You are out tune and should work on you're left hand's technique.

  • WRONG

  • I dont understand these kinds of "lessons"-- You dont talk at all like you should and what the fuck is up with that finger pointing???? People who are watching this will learn from your magic finger??

  • nice try, but that's just wrong. the sound isn't the same, the notes aren't those and the string is not the correct one

  • mmkay i been a bassist for 4 years and just lemme say.. 1st mistake ur playin a yamaha. 2nd mistake is the 7th and 8th fret (i know some people have their own style but no one is gonna pass simplicity) this song is played in standard flat. any one using this video to learn off of is either a noob or a dumbass.

  • good job, but i dont think this was meant to be played on only one string, it sounds kinda out of tune ><

  • i think it sounds good enough

  • Boo, horrible lesson, there are people that will learn to play it like this, this is nothing at all how it sounds, why don't you just look up tabs, stop corrupting learners

  • Never played guitar, want lessons but mom wont let me. Learned this song my first try. Thanks

  • Sounds good... sorta. But try to push down on the fret with just one finger. If you get good with each finger then you don't have to move your hand as far and fast.

  • Learn how to spell "lesson" before u can try to teach us.

  • ye b.. no need to go to the 7th and 8th fret on the E string.. 2nd and 3rd fret A string is much simpler.. and your out of tune lol..

  • when this guy plays the 8th and 7th fret, move it up a string, for the sake of simplicity and ease.

  • thanx man good job just got a bass and im doin pirdy good now i got this song down

  • thank you very much, its my 3rd song, lol, only got a bass today so, thanks alot, better than all other videos.

  • good lesson, thx man!

  • don't you usually need learn to play before teaching others?

  • so out of tune

    and sloppy

  • No offense dude, but thats the the most complicated way out there to do this song lol...

  • It won't let me post a link to a better tab . . . :/

  • this very goog gread THX is very good for me xD !!!!

  • Maybe if your bass was tuned right it would sound good o and you forgot the second part where you bend on the 12th fret this video sucks ass

  • much thanks !

  • Thank you soo much i can now play it on my bass XD

  • ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

    Copy and paste if you HATE the new YouTube layout.

    CHANGE IT BACK YOUTUBE

  • wow ur doing it wrong haha did you make that up haha oh man dont embarrass yourself by letting everybody know that you can only play one string

  • Comment removed

  • @thespank117 go suck a justin beibers dick with your negative attidude.

  • cool

  • yourvideois greath favorite!

  • lol, chords you play are the complete opposite.

    not bad.

  • it's on E string it's open, open, 2,3 A:2,3 open open 3,2E:3 open

  • wrong chords there dude

  • the part where it goes slinding up is from the 7th fret e string all the way to the 12th fret of the e string

  • Try to use more than one finger and the thumb is normaly on the back of the fretboard and not flying around the top.

    and it's not in tune...

  • Not even close sounds right though but in the video he also plays A and D strings

  • Excuse me if I'm wrong but you can also use the 2nd string and the same frets as you used first, or am I wrong?

  • you forgot the slide bro

  • u should talk

  • Idk...you should try talking

  • no talky much?

  • kinda wrong

  • .eyy since you like bass..you should check my video...its just a little rock thing, its like a compilation I made of great rock songs with the rawest basslines, I need some feedback on it..thx!!

  • ujde to

  • get your thrust rod sorted out you get ridicolous fret buzz when letting go of the string.

  • u are playing to dark

  • bad bad and wrong

  • Thank you for this!

    I have that exact same bass by the way ;)

  • *five

  • Thanks man, you helped me a lot :D *Fave, 5 stars*

  • was he playing his bass with a pick?? he does not even do that in the video and it is a cartoon... and by the way 'vaxt' my bass has 5 strings... just sayin

  • yeh sounds like a pick you can sorta hear it scrape when he picks a string

  • YOU FAIL!!!!!

  • SERIOUSLY!!!! FAIL!!!!

    Times 1000.

  • your bass isnt tuned right... and u should probably be using the A string instead of higher frets on the E string...

  • @Zupra22

    He is hella outta tune but those are actually the lower frets on the E string, the "high" notes are closer to where the neck meets the body.

  • i have Ibanez bass sittin at home, never touched it. i just had a joint ;) and decided to pick up the bass, seen your vid and now i can play feel good :P. cheers man

  • nice nip, good tab

  • vaxt is right

    teach ppl how to play THE BASS not the string

    and u have horrible form for a bass player

  • good

  • good

  • Playing it all on one string? This is a terrible lesson; you do realize the bass has 4 strings, right?

  • play this whit the E and A Site!!!

  • you're a half step up, tune it down to E flat

  • Ohhh, so it's in E flat?? Okay....

  • thanks this helped me alot

  • thanks man i had to take notees but i got it

  • cool thanks

  • sweet

  • do u have a long or short scale bass?

  • you are a shit hole fackiu

  • Wrong way to play this...

  • this shows me that there are very different ways of playing this song

    very nice man, i actually learned something but u forgot the slide lol

    good day.

  • Dont give a lesson of you dont even know how ot read tabs...you should tune down your bass to Eb,...ffs man

  • or, you could just go with playing on both E and A string since its much closer, damnet

  • Good job man, but that's not right....

  • yeah, there's an easier way. the most of it can be done in a box chord. just stick to open and the second and third frets on just the first two strings.

  • ur playing irr the harder way and worng way mate :/

  • it may sound weird but i play bass sinds yesterday and i play this song better than thta kid-o

  • same xD

  • Completely wrong notes

  • you might wanna check of your neck is straight cause the strings are hitting the frets

  • first of all, play on 1 string sucks.

    and the second thing, its sounds bad. but nice u try to teach this easy song

  • genial muy buen video

  • This video taught me how to play my first bassline. I did it all on one string, (like in the video) and then my uncle showed me that at it could be played MUCH easier. Theres a 5 fret difference between frets, so instead of going all the way down one 1 string, i can just go to the next string :D I also discovered soemthing cool! you know in the song when it repeats the second time, and you hear that last note? i searched the WHOLE guitar and realized that its the second fret on the D string.

  • good job! i knew tha 5 fret rule too.

    but in some tunings, the rule is different.

  • Playing it all on 1 string isn't right, required, and doesn't add anything to the song except sloppy sound and the possibility to miss more notes. Also, every note you play is wrong, drop your E and A string to D and G, and the first note is an E flat, so play all your notes down half a step

  • 1/5.

    Wrong. Fail.

    1) I think it's drop D.

    2) Gtfo with that Yamaha bass.

    3) Play it on E and A.

    4) Learn it properly before posting a video.

    5) I play bass, this song, and 30+ others, I'll post them up later.

  • hahaha yamahas do suck i wanna see u play ur probably way better

  • Thanks. Although, I'm still waiting for my new basses to come in. I accidentally dropped my Ibenaz, so....

    Anyways, I can say I'm better at tecnique,

  • Technique.

    I just remembered, use your other fingers as well. I mean, If you plan to play fast, you need finger skills.

    Try again.

    I'll get a Video up soon.

  • thats weird i have an ibanez but my brother just told me that his friends both dropped there ibanez whats with this dropping an ibanez lol

  • its not drop D it the strings that are used and 3mm thicker (my brotehrs a guitar/bass technition and i can't spell) lol

  • Well, you can't change strings for each song, can you?

    That's what tuning is for.

    Either way, it sounds like a cow dieing in the middle of Winter.

    He's using 2 fingers to push the string down on the fret, which is what makes it ring, so. Either way....

    Worst.Tutorial.Ever.

  • i know i'm just saying those are the strings you uses and yeah this tutorial does suck

  • Doing that sort of thing has its place. I know that when I started out I would play everything that way, staying on one string I mean. I had to be twice as fast just to keep up with the music. I dont play that way anymore but now I have some pretty sick speed because of it. Its good to play that way in private if you want to get faster.

  • this seems like the easy way, there is a more complex way but i'm sure this is very helpful for those kids with minor bass skills.

  • Really dude? Using 2 different strings is WAY easier than trying to shift a positions every three notes.

  • 1/5

  • your just rating it a 1/5 cause no matter howmuch ur tried you couldnt do that

  • agree with that

  • hahah ownd!

  • ??????? o_O

  • thanks for posting the video! that video is how I learned to play this song

  • Haha lol i learned this by ear, then watching this video and i played right lol :P

  • great video thanx for posting it

  • Yeah, that works....maybe you could show the alternate frets for people that don't know relative tuning... like for when you go down to the 7th and 8th frets, you could also play with the 2nd and 3rd frets of the A string...just to keep your hand in the same area.

    Otherwise, great! There's another little detail though..usually after the first round of two of that line, they go up one octave from the starting note (for this 4 string, it would be the 12 fret on E, or 7th on A)

    Thanks again!

  • your playing it wrong

  • thanks, and at the end when u did it all the way through, it sounded really good! thnx for the tutorial!!!!

  • dude its so much ezier on 2 strings u dont even hafta move yer hand

  • im just showing how to play it in a way

  • are yamaha bass better than fender squier?

  • no idea

  • probably not.

  • in my opnion squier is the better choice

  • get a fender much better

  • hmhmhmhmhm *chirp*

  • this is for smart people...only...

  • Damn man.. u cant put out lessons out over here if u play with one f-ing string..

    Oh well...

    keep playing tho :)

  • sorry about that my brother did that. sorry for the misunderstanding.

  • talk!!!!!
