BASS TRICK

[jszarecki]

how is this a "trick"?

[EnMandsMusik]

I too can here the GHOST at 3.51. . . . .uuuuuuhhhh. . .

[Yoshinator54]

Anyone else notice the creepy whisper at 3:51 ? you can here it well with earphones

[babyfaceAJ]

you used one finger the second time

[modcit]

Competent enough, but I don't like the way guitar players play bass.

[zZmekmekZzDrummerzZ]

Did you only use your index finger the second time? :D

[superretard5]

the 2nd time around youre playin it on the off beat!

[Drblooter99]

"Notes in a row" -- uhhh, I think you mean "chromatic runs". Rather weak vocabulary from an alleged teacher.

[KudahBass]

@Drblooter99 Teachers have to diminish their vocabulary according to their students.. Which in this case is probably a bunch of ignorant "musicians" that don't know what chromatics are.

[Drblooter99]

@KudahBass

This guy is not addressing "his students" -- he's addressing potentially the whole world.

And since most of the musicians I've known, including learners, know what chromatic means, then it's the teacher who seems ignorant. And he only SAYS he's a teacher.

[fretrunner49]

@Drblooter99 what's the deal? he didn't say something that you learned in your respected orchestra/band class? Or are you better than people cause you know that word?

[lolhs96]

Did I just fucking hear whispers in my head?

[Yoshinator54]

@lolhs96 I head it too at 3:51. I freaked out lol

[yeebeascurvydawg]

you suck and your tone is shit.

[cottonfever1221]

Tricks? nothing mindbending but I do see alot of little personal qwerks you do,like fretting like Rocco does with his whole hand to get ghost/percusive sounds insted of ringing notes also you do hammer-ons insted of playing every note,I am not sure if thats what you were trying to "amaze us with by calling them tricks". Everyone has their own style and overplaying or simplistic root fifth lines dont make someone "bad"he has a buisy style but its not "wrong"& not many play like Duck Dunn can.

[tennboy789]

Please tell me that you had your kid whispering to you at 3:52 :/

[tennboy789]

I freaked out because I thought you were Steve Jobs because I looked at you too quick. Nice fingers man!

[youenjoy00myself]

Thanks for the lesson. If I was gonna take bass lessons, I would take them with you. Very informative in just 5 minutes.

[jlslreyn]

Sounds like you caught an EVP at 3:52

[Yoshinator54]

@jlslreyn it sounded japanese to me. like "I saw Jake again"

[MrStubat]

the trick is you are a guitar player who doesnt quite get the roll of bass guitar? ...a pick on bass? a tone that sticks out of the mix? unnecessary fills....suggest you listen to Duck Dunn....

[Stuie1973]

is this considered a trick? I would call it uneconomical.

[MisterAnimann]

WHAT THE HELL was that at 3:52?

I was watching in a dark room and now I'm really on edge...

[1004ninja]

Locking in with bass drum perhaps?

[UnitedEffect]

Left hand index (or 1st) finger used exclusively on the 2nd take. Now about that prize? lol :0)

[uheepwizard]

@UnitedEffect yes i agree.

[gergam]

are you larry david's brother??

[thecleaner084]

pretty fly .... for a white guy

[tanveerh1993]

Using only your first finger on your left hand the second time around.

[usdoogie]

What was that at 3:52?? Creepy as hell is putting it lightly.....Bass lessons with EVP?? Now that's a twist

[Boooby]

@usdoogie seriously. I heard it and it was creepy as fuck wonder what it was sayin o.O

[SuperShno]

at 3:52 that was creepy as hell

[nleearcher]

You use only your index finger in your left hand the second time........that isn't really a trick

[TESTOSTERTONE]

Oh and you sound very whiteish on that. No real feel.

[TESTOSTERTONE]

You played with just two fingers on your left hand the second time. I will take cash only no checks thank you.

[ieatsick]

YOU FINGER REALLY GOOD

[csartorirp]

Great!

[tchort99]

good stuff mang !

[SpikeyHeadProduction]

can i find tabs for that line? i love that, hoping you can save me the time of transcribing it

[michiniyami]

wheres the trick?

[retromotown]

COOOLLL - sounds like short scale bass:)))

I love pick bass playin'...... YOU'RE GOOD!!!!

[bassandguitarguy]

Yes, the 2nd time I'm using only my index finger! - so if I ever hurt any or all of the other fingers, I can play a bunch of tunes this way.

[bassandguitarguy]

No, not using my thumb!

[xXxSpinTheDiscxXx]

2nd time used 1 finger?

[almostagainagain]

the 2nd time you are using just one finger with your left hand if there is another trick I either don't know it or didn't catch it but I agree with sceirine ajboy

[Sceirine]

you started out o the e string

[Ajboy]

nice skills richard, for the first riff you used all 4 fingers and the 2nd riff is the was the same but with just one finger but it was on the same mnemonic scale.

[bassandguitarguy]

C'mon, people! Tell me what trick I'm doing!

[wjelo]

maybe your're playing some notes with both middle and ring fingers?

[XxjosephabrenicaxX]

@bassandguitarguy U USE PICK

[bashamus]

@bassandguitarguy lol, you're joking right? You're just using all your fingers instead of just your index. This is pretty fundamental playing technique... :P

[TheBlindVines]

@bassandguitarguy You go along with the drum fill(s)?

[casperado666]

@bassandguitarguy you're playing with 1 finger
