By the way solo - Red Hot Chili Peppers [Bass Lesson]

[bassmanfluo]

please raply me.... what do you use to recording your videoo??:) well, how can you have this sound? is as if the bass is connected directly in the pc, not as if you recording with the camera's microphone... understand me?:)

sorry for bad english.... :)

[caioredhort]

irmão do flea

[disaster9876]

Don't forget to tune ur bass drop D

[remyN94]

you just have one shirt ?

[necarz]

Please answer me. How do you do to get that "percusive" sound with your fingering (not the slap), similar to a "bass drum"?? I took very long time trying to get it, achieven much less than you. In addition to the techinque (It seems that you play very hard), perhaps has to do with the calibration (arched or bowed neck?), strings (light or heavy?), and very-sensitive coils. Moreover, maybe the carbon-graphite necks enhances that particular sound. Mi mail is

necarz@gmail.com

thanks a lot!

[poppyto]

@necarz It's just technique and low action (not too low), but I play very hard on my strings. The carbon fiber is not helping, I can destroy any bass ahah :)

[LouBass09]

@poppyto Well I got the fleabass to, and compared to my stingray it really supports the hard attack so I would say that the graphite neck is not innocent when it comes to the punch;)

[LordLookas]

@necarz he uses Modulus. This bass "almost slaps itself". Plus things he mentioned about setting and forceful plucking.

[Finester92]

modulus sound omg thx for vid i sub

[scarecrow4002]

LESSON???



[yuri0resig]

amazing sound *-*0

[sohamorrohit]

Everytime I see one of your videos, I'm amazed by your tone! It's pure sex!

[BennyJ69]

Isn't this played using Right hand slap?

[Cheesemaster890]

@BennyJ69 i do but hes using black magic...

[Maska92csi]

what strings r u using and what pickup??

[ninelevelsdeepful]

you must have really light strings on that bass

[cestoiber117]

Well, now the Chili Pepps will be okay if Flea for some horrible reason leaves. We have poppyto.

[OTheFrench]

Hello ! How do you get this pretty sound plz ?

[TheAmazingScotsman]

@OTheFrench It's called a Modulus bass.

[marcobassman24]

[hbalazs09]

@marcobassman24

Modulus FB4

[rushinalicechains]

[Rafescow]

will you ever post a video that lasts any longer than 30 seconds?

[psnshavo002]

jezz, that baby almost slaps it self!

need to get me 3000 doll danm it.

[SaintUdnitz]

@psnshavo002

An expensive bass doesnt make you a good bassist. get a squire, it cost under $ 500 and is basically a fender. cheers!

[psnshavo002]

@SaintUdnitz ill look for it, any model in special? ( and thanks for the advice!)

[SaintUdnitz]

@psnshavo002 @psnshavo002

thx. ^^ I would very much recommend the squier vintage modified jass bass. it costs about $350 and it is reeeally good.

[TsaRlieCaT]

Is an open A here??

[SaintUdnitz]

@TsaRlieCaT this is in D. was that the question? lol

[TsaRlieCaT]

@SaintUdnitz No this wasnt the question i know that the song is in D but i just wanted to Know if there is an open a in the song.. at tabs! sorry for my english

[Bubba95222]

why doesnt anyone understand that this is not to actually teach you, its just to show you what it sounds like

[SaintUdnitz]

@Bubba95222

I guess no one understands that because it doesnt say that anywere??? and probably because this says lesson and the vid is 10 secondes long?

[BassAgainst]

lol it sounds like slap, but you are not slapping o.o

[Carlosaurius]

fuck!!! I cant do it... =(

[TsaRlieCaT]

@Carlosaurius Try My friend More.. after some practise hands goes alone ;)

Dont Ever Give Up!

[Carlosaurius]

@TsaRlieCaT Ok i keep trying n trying but it doesnt f* work... !!!

[SaintUdnitz]

@Carlosaurius

practice...and be patient. bass is one of the hardest instruments to play. being good takes forever. If you have no patience you should give it up. cheers!

[fefiss86]

i just want to say that u got a great tone but and u got this one a little bit wrong :)

[vitioNNN]

well done but it's not solo :D

[GabrielaLealcs]

beautiful bass :)

[thebettyandcarlshow]

This was really chill, and fast ;D your really good!

[foofightersfan14]

if u used a distortion pedal, what settings, and what amp settings alos. and dont reply saying this is not a distortion song because u can use a distortion pedal to make a more slap bass sound it dont gotta be distortion sounding to use a pedal

[Tybu2585]

Best lesson ever

[SCgibbo]

trick is drop E to D

[walkingslap]

BUEN SONIDO Y EQ..

[Esieq]

[r0gerwaters]

[sebastianklima]

[sheepishblahblah]

modulus can make this !!

[MarcoBass92]

@sheepishblahblah money can made this!

[6bassangel6]

[saumonnn]

[6bassangel6]

[caparezzianelcuore]

[Rafu23]

[morganfrigon1]

@caparezzianelcuore  hold

[twinsnake13]

[TayPlaysBass]

fela uses a Modulus, but thats not a flea bass

[saumonnn]

no its the same its a modulus funk unlimited

[TayPlaysBass]

so y have a signature model? if its the same

[W4MSpade]

nice

[JimmyEatBass]

How did you set up your amp tones and bass tones?

[mattiasvb]

Yeah i want to know it too :o

[poppyto]

It's you, none of my videos are sped up

[planb61293]

itd be close to impossible to get the beat so perfect to the actual song once sped up, and to perfectly match a previously slower version...

[kalonbrown]

this solo sounds exactly like the first 1-2 bars of the final solo for coffee shop.

[ricta9]

dude the flea bass sounds so bad ass

[billfix123]

why do people talk shit about this guy frankly hes one of the best bassist on fucking utube he doesnt need a whole song go to his website u dumb pussy

[vfreddy95]

what the fuck! man you are good at that!

but wrong name to the video! this aint no lesson

[KruxZhlajfa]

true you have to make a real lesson

[Smekgitaar]

check his link, than you can see how to play.

also you can see it slow, what do you want more he?

[vfreddy95]

HAHA! you aint so fast??

look what i write before you answer

[MasterOfDaCheezit]

@vfreddy95 alright im not gonna try to be mean or shit but for godsakes! FOR ALL YOU DUMBASSES THAT SAY HIS VIDS ARNT LESSONS! IF YOU LOOK RIGHT BELOW THE GOD DAMN VIDEO IT CLEARLY SAYS, TABS AND SLOW SPEED VIDEOS HERE, AND IT SHOWS A LINK, FOR BALLS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vfreddy95]

@MasterOfDaCheezit

It isn't a lesson! youtube.com/watch?v=OGP5P-67xq­c is a lesson

[toddiey12]

@vfreddy95 click on the link

[Oroshimisu]

@vfreddy95 just read the description ...

[harrybjackson]

@vfreddy95 I managed to learn it fine from watching this....?

[cenlo5]

i love the tone!!

[Gaarasands1]

when i first heard this it remined me of take the power back by ratm just similar and im not sayin there the same there just similiar and when i heard it i thought he slapped this part guess not :O

[bassistfromholland]

Agreed so much!

[tanakataku7]

someone please help me??? muting the E string is difficult would i attempt to mute it during the solo or just play as normal? does the finger stroke mute the strings?

[copecar]

just tune it to the D

[tanakataku7]

dude, that made no sense, no offence. what i'm saying is the notes ring without any muting, what muting technique is most effective for this? if u notice the lowest string isn't silenced when he goes to the d string.

[copecar]

just play double time D-0... you don't have to mute...

[tanakataku7]

thnx, so he (the guy in the video) isn't muting his string either?

[copecar]

yes he does, but when I play, I play it double time, it's the same effect, and same sound... well, almost :)) 98%

[beerandpluggers]

You make no sense, PLying Open D double time would just put everything out, and it would sound shit

[ricta9]

why dont you try playing along to the song with this? because ive used the same tabs hes using and it sounds pretty decent. so either youre hearings shit or youre just retarded. no offense, just constructive criticism

[beerandpluggers]

Yeah i have, some guy was saying to play just the open D double time, this guy here poppyto plays it perfect, the other guy i was talking to

[ricta9]

oh then my bad sorry if i sounded like a dick

[beerandpluggers]

Nah its cool man, i can understnad what it would have sounded like to you

[gilson9172]

learn to play bass and read notes out of their book ; ] this guy has the exact line out of the book. tabs are wrong 95% of the time

[ricta9]

i play bass, and the guy has this bassline in tab form on the website. but yea youre right i should learn to read notes maybe you can teach me

[Brendanglo]

WMG would flag the hell out of it.

[izenbutt]

So I've been watching some of your videos and i can tell your not a huge Flea fan at all.

[Yukonho72]

Lol sarcasm yes?

[pmckerna]

Could never get this to sound quite right until I watched this.....many thanks !!

[LsLpT]

aww dude nice thx for the link it worked for me ,btw what kind of bass is that

[muniti0n856]

wat is the effect pedal or gear u r using to make the slap sound?

[BAMIROCKT]

verry good

[TaSoScomic]

hey can you send me the tab of this??????thanks

[flipboy56]

know that though me something good job

[UnderTheBridge67]

great playing. but it is kinda weird with your face out of all your vids.

[erickdg]

men you kick ass

[kulfon333]

very good but tune your d string :D 5*

[lifeitseemswillfade]

this sounds really good, but why do hal leonard's tabs say it's played in a different way? are them wrong?

[patx29]

Sorry but that was not a lesson,just another way to try and get more hits.

Slow it down and explain what your doing don't just show off.

[poppyto]

Did you click the link beside the video ? Can you read ???

[patx29]

You may have a link but your vid says Lesson is it an advert??

[tehqin]

I think what he means is your video says lesson, when most lessons on youtube break down the part they are playing and explain each bit. Yours is really just a video with tabs. so he thinks its inappropriately marked maybe?

[poppyto]

No, there are tab,video, slow down video and help text so it's a lesson!

[SaintUdnitz]

@poppyto

the video itself is not a lesson. A video lesson should be one video. sorry...and one well meant tip:

the last note is played four times, really tight on. cant do that, maybe? dont worry, it took me forever to get to the point where you can put those simple notes as dead on as flea.

I havent watched the other vids. are they better? 4 stars...

[patx29]

I clicked the link it does't work.

[poppyto]

try again ^^

[patx29]

Cheers its working now

[klbaker40]

I agree man, this is not a lesson, it is just a guy playing it with a link that doesn't work. A lesson teaches, this does not. Thank god i can now play this! oh, wait....

[Romans10Verse9]

What kind of pickups?

[girlsonfilm89]

That's almost perfect. On the second riff, on the A string, there is no 3hammer5, but 0hammer3 ;)

[tehqin]

what kind of bass is that? O.O

[afroovce]

modulus

[RicoWilder]

its not a solo

the verse is excactly the same

[DiegoCasanueva]

You are awesome man.

[jazzpod1]

i wonder why bass videos never show faces

[lifeitseemswillfade]

because he is Waldo from Where's Waldo lol

[alexowain]

jazzpod1 why does it matter? he's an awesome bass player who cares if we can't see his face.... unless he's a robot.........

[jazzpod1]

i want to be able to appreciate his greatness even more. Unless hes really ugly, or a robot. BUT THAT DOESN"T MATTER, CAUSE I AM NOT SAYING THE DUDES UGLY

[poppyto]

I don't show my face because of the camera size, so the beginner better see the fingers !

[jimakosalala]

its not slapped

[siestuzzo]

this must be slapped..

[Martin259]

It's not slapped.

[quan245]

[Walkabout19]

[poppyto]

[fretwalker671]

[popace]
