For Whom the bell tolls bass tutorial (CLIFF STYLE!!)

[BlinklomoIV]

what this effect??

[bloodlustMLG]

You said you use a line 6 uber metal right ? I have one of these pedals, what is the settings of your pedal for this song, your tone sounded pretty damn good

[SplayFrodig]

What kind of pedal are you using?

[sirloverofall]

why in the hell are you playing that on a finder? You are talented but please play that on a better bass!!!!!

[TheAcebass666]

btw have you tried metal muff i got my micro metal muff (same thing fewer knobs) the THING IS AMAZING it totally makes my pinch harmonics squeal so if you get the chance you should try it

[ragnaroksama]

the intro i know how to do (what u did there) its like that last part the call of ktulu

[Daavid333]

te falto una parte checa el video

[gguunneer]

Can you do a more in-depth on the hammer ons ? Nice job btw

[MrGRAM6]

the picks vs fingers argument gets so annoying after awhile. face it if u want to be great at bass why wouldn't u want to do both?

[jpthat1guy]

Mind you, make sure you keep an eye out for when the thing comes on (2:37) :) BTW you play well!

[superfartdog]

but i has one question due my bad paying attention, i'm fingerpicking * middle finger, index finger, middle finger, index finger* etc... not * middle, middle, index, middle, middle index* right?

[superfartdog]

nevermind :D i got it from your other vid, thanks duuude! awesome vids!

[superfartdog]

how the crap do you do a hammer on without pulling off on the way to the next string??!!!!

[ultimatenecris]

nice!

[rammsteinrulz16]

Dont forget the wah ^ ^ that makes the sound too

[Welshbassist17]

cheers man, played this in my gig last night, and i watched your video i few hours before, it really really helped!!!!!

[Cefanso]

19 freetts?¿¿?¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

[muchkomuch]

Tell me can I use slide 16/19 in intro riff? How will it sound with all those effects?

[TheMorbidAsshole]

can you post the tab?

[DARKSTORMGMA]

Is that a P, or J bass?..

[akahi5]

@DARKSTORMGMA He said ti in the video, It's a P.

[miragemagicvideos]

excelent men!!!

[MAGNETMETALLICA]

i have that bass lol

[13JimiHendrix]

thts a big mole

[panagiwths100]

will i need an amp for a bass ?

[panagiwths100]

i want a bass

[billypark1994]

Tunning?

[TheBassistWW]

@billypark1994 standard

[KyNaStyLe]

fuckyea, the cliff style is using only 3 fingers of the left hand :D

[demonpickleofDOOM]

no good musician would limit themselves to playing one way vs another

[cash9442]

this video helped me so much thank you from all my heart :D

[bezstyku]

can you send me a tab to this, i want to play it like Cliff <3

[dimi966]

If you want speed, play with a pick, if you want the sound, play with your fingers....simple as that ;D

[oldschooldude2]

I dont see why people give a fuck about picks vs fingers. if you can play, its shouldnt fucking matter.

[Scarecrow545]

@oldschooldude2

Agreed. Uploader is foolish if he really believes it's 'meant' to be done with finger picking.

[xfuriiosx]

Metallica-For Whom The Bell Tolls (Live @ Oakland '85 Cliff Burton Style) [ Bass Cover ]

youtube.com/watch?v=Kq8PNqICUo­s

[scaulderz]

i have that bass and its very reliable i love it first one i bought aswell

[BassWolf100]

very good, just a tip, when Cliff played live he droned the E

[HunterPhantom]

In my opinion Jason Newsted is batter basist than Cliff was... :)

[TheBlackViper1007]

you in a band? cause your a badass bass player

[Itachifan186]

I play bass with a pick so I can't learn this? Thanks for the support bro.

[devouringhearts]

@Itachifan186 no you cant learn this on a pick lol. pics and fingers give different sounds :P

[Scarecrow545]

@devouringhearts

Yes, and? You can play it with a different sound. Yknow, it's not criminal to not copy Cliff sound for sound and note for note =p

[tokorev747777]

@Itachifan186 Dude you can learn this with a pick. I am sick of hearing this crap! I play with fingers onley but good god! Go for it man! Use a pick!

[Itachifan186]

@NightXemnas ...

[NightXemnas]

@Itachifan186

Trollface lol

[Itachifan186]

@NightXemnas I was hoping you would understand the comment a bit more once you saw that. XD

[MyElmero]

donde conseguiste la tab?

[brandon261]

if you don't use a pick then don't try it huh? way to discourage people from playing music you dick. People can play whatever feels the best for them for comfort and sound whether that be pick, fingers, or slap.

[idri07]

SO YOU'RE MY TEACHER O WHAT ?

[LexVanHalen]

Wath pedal of distortion do you use?

[XB0XFR34K]

@LexVanHalen he says it like the first 15 seconds

[iffyfart]

this guys good but also a bit of a dick lol

[OmarM945]

do you play it with distortion or wah pedal?

[tokorev747777]

Thanks man this helps alot! And i use a pick and fingers, :P

[deidara111]

thanks a lot!

[uploadurdeath]

I got my my acoustic guitar last night,and now I am playing the song part you rock man because u dont tell it with chord names:lol

[ManTheMiracle]

R.I.P CLIFF BURTON WE WILL MISS YOU!

[dozo89]

[Joepiedoepiehoepie]

[MrZombinator143]

@Joepiedoepiehoepie he says in the video you idiot

[Joepiedoepiehoepie]

@MrZombinator143 sry but not everybody speacks english good enough to understand this dumbass

[waga00100]

[hadrace]

[hollywoodundeadful]

@hadrace up to the fith fret

[MrD13g0C]

[BassPlayerFromHell9]

Hi! could you please tell me what pedal do you use? I heard that you said it, but my English is crap so could you please spell it :D?

[kerryreece1620]

can you send me the tab for this? this is awesome. let me know and i'll send you an email address.

[kerryreece1620]

can you send me the tab for this? this is awesome.

[creepingdeath171]

nevermind i found tabs and learned the solo

[creepingdeath171]

im having a little trouble with the hammer on part my eye sight isnt the best so its hard to follow your fingers if you gave me a tab i would appreciate it big time cause ive been wanting to learn that part for a million years now and ive tried to follow cliffs fingers but nobody can keep up with that man 100% your the best ive heard so far and i would love a tab for that specific part if you can provide one

[fatboymachinegun]

damn you rock dude ! :O

[ZrKos]

you're lose some notes, are not?

[quints07]

Good job man.

[Viktor50924]

Give me tab please ))))))

[ZjuggaloB]

This one is better than the original video

[pedomarihuano]

fred ¿?

[666SHADOWDIED]

@pedomarihuano

hahaha!!!



[jujo63]

man, you're damn good. I'm going to try this too (the tappin' part I mean)

[Zkeek4511]

@jujo63 Send it to me to please :)

[jujo63]

@Zkeek4511 what do you mean??

[PtolemaiosLS]

decent cover, but it´s not perfect, I´m trying to figure out this by ear too, and your cover is close, but cliff solos is way more complex than this, I´ll send you a guitar-pro tab when I´m finish ;)

[MalGanis222]

@PtolemaiosLS

I want that tab too please =P

[ruizmartin09]

shit dude!

u dnt hav to be such a dick!!!

[superbond247]

nice video.

[IbanezakiazZz]

you can decrease the gain a little bit, making it fuzz-like distortion... thats what cliff sounded like. but ur damn good ;D u can use wah too.

and post the whole song. that would be a good idea i think :)

[N11Ckk123472]

Fyi, Cliff Burton uses a Big Muff, Bass Distortion pedal, and a Marshall guitar amp. Thats how he gets his sound. Good Vid

[kosta1265]

@N11Ckk123472 FYI Cliff used Sunn amps with Mesa Boogie cabinets. Marshall amps were used live by Metallica, not only Cliff himself!

[N11Ckk123472]

@kosta1265 you are right. He used Mesa Boogie at small-ish shows or just practicing. But in huge arenas and crap like that, the whole band had marshalls. I'm 99% sure.

[xysko17]

sweet man

[JanksTs]

the best way to play bell tolls:D and great job (Y)

[THEMERCWITHAMOUTH16]

[Lazsix]

[7BassAss7]

[00bmx4life00]

[GamezTootieJordeh]

[shlecther]

[villivilperi]

Do you have done anything to your big muff? I have it too but it doesn't sound same.

[NightXemnas]

[chrisslipknt444]

[mikaboom123]

@comptilion man thanks!!!reallyt thanks!!!!!!!!!THANKS

[mikaboom123]

@comptilion AND HOW I S THE OTHER???

[shiftyhaze]

Listen picks are for people who cant take the pain in your fingers when you play bass.

[666pounderbodom]

@shiftyhaze some bassists just use a pick for comfort and metalcore is meant to be played with a pick

[hardluckboogie]

@shiftyhaze There are hundreds of bass players in history that uses picks! many famous players also

[412rida]

yeah a pick makes a completely different sound  i personally dont like picks but dude your awsome

[BerkoGames]

awesome

[SilentKilla96X]

that first riff you played is the same riff Cliff plays at the VERY END of The Call Of Ktulu.... you can just barely hear it, but it's there. =]

[JDigman62]

O O  HOLY CRAP!! you good! " O

[I3ass0]

Thank you very much, is there any distortion and wha pedal online that i can order for some cheap money?

[adwilsh]

Jason Newsted uses a pick and its sounds awesome

[Smoothbassline]

@adwilsh i dont rly like the effects tht newsted uses, he uses lyk phaser nd stuff - its a bit weird for my liking

[LongLaiz]

@adwilsh

Yea but Cliff use her fingers and sound AMAZING

[BezecnyMartin]

@LongLaiz HER fingers? Since when Cliff had been a girl?

[ultimatenecris]

@LongLaiz "Her fingers"?

[LongLaiz]

@ultimatenecris }

Fuck .... my inglish is not perfect sorry ^^'

[ultimatenecris]

@LongLaiz haha xd np

[riley8377]

@LongLaiz her fingers?

[cineplusbull]

you are good but...

[hereawhile]

Can you tab out the rundown please?

Your fingers are so crowded together during it its almost impossible to see what your playing

[mitchthebeast1234567]

ur really really good you should get a better bass squire is for beginners i would get a real fender

[BleachVII]

AWESOME!!!!

thanks man =)

[NightXemnas]

Amazing! I just got a bass and, obviously, am nowhere near as good as Cliff or you, so I can't play it, but this was fun to watch!

R.I.P. Cliff

[Jordo1900]

you'll never be as good as Cliff Burton

[NightXemnas]

@Jordo1900 Well that's a bit of a given, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't practise.

[shuffle94]

no offence ur a gs bassist buh ur distortion souds crap

[SlaytanicSeries]

You're a badass player.

[stinkybajspeter]

pretty impressive dude

[peppe96swe]

what pedal????????????????

[versionintegrale]

man you good :/

[eresunshaguar]

te comiste la mitad de la intro xD

you don't play half intro

sorry my english is so bad

[duffmasterofpuppets]

great lesson thanks. although you missed the 19-16 pull off a few times. anyways, thanks

[CarpSlapsDaBass]

ok wow u seriously said not to play it if u use a pick go fucking die on that one alot of amazing bassists use picks Jason always picked and your useing a GUITAR AMP AND PEDAL ur a retard and u added that 2nd note on the 19th fret like a retard too go die

[xYiazmatx]

Calm the fuck down, holy shit, he wasnt saying there was ANYTHING wrong with a pick. Picks create an entirely different sound then playing with your fingers, THATS why you arent supposed to use one. All bassists should be able to do both, if you cant then you are shit.

[BobMarley6795]

@xYiazmatx your right dude theres nothing wrong with picks, i use one, but cliff didnt and it just sounds like shit when you use one when your playing anything by cliff

[deputyofthunderclan]

@xYiazmatx no ur not dumb ass. if u say that u probably dont even play bass. go watch geezer butler and tell me if hes shit

[N11Ckk123472]

@xYiazmatx So you are saying that I am shit because I don't like pick? I shit all over this kid in bass playing, and I 100% finger-pluck.

[xYiazmatx]

@N11Ckk123472 Correction, although i posted that months ago, ty for responding. I said you are shit because you are purposely limiting yourself to a single right hand technique. How can you downtalk this kid's playing by watching a video of him... imitating somebody else's style? Think about it.

[jujo63]

@xYiazmatx you're right

[dharius11]

tabs??

[Ace23232323]

what pedal do you use?????

[Ridinhighlaynlow]

fuckin frustrating as hell. not a bad player, terrible teacher.

[nirvanabassguitar]

if anyone wants perfect tabs contact me.

[MrFrank94]

that is a bass...not a guitar !

[nidhawk818]

hey dude what pedal did u used it sonuds great

[sylarac]

i think cliff would be dissapointed with all the guys who have learnt the song in this video, i think he wanted from the world to play what you feel, without watching a poor lesson

[Ferali]

why use a bass when you want it to sound like a guitar anyway?

[bassandguitarplayer]

it sounds like a guitar on the album,

[AVegaA94]

because bass is fucking awesome way better than guitar but thats just me.

[bigbetches43]

fuck u i play this better than u and i use a pick u fucken idiot dont listen to him u can use a pick if ur comfortable with one

[jordankuprij]

@bigbetches43 umm....the video says "cliff style" and cliff dosent use a pick..sure..its easier to play with the pick...but thats not the point here really

[dani1802]

TABBBBB!!!, my life for this tab!Please! XD

[naknak95]

One word... perfect! Nice 5/5 and sub and fav

[juampialarcon]

what pedal did u used?
