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.
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
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
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??
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.
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
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.
.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!!
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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)
this is the way i learned to play it.. i tought myself by ear though.....

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....
