(RHCP) Get Up and Jump - Bass tutorial

[roodelle]

Nice sounding bass. Aggressive and grindy!

[zed13281]

You should say the notes as you play them

[shindude5]

which finger do you pop with? im new to this

[madsdk11]

How the hell do you get so much speed on the fingerstyle lick at the start? It seems impossible for my 2 fingers..

[motoxrider18]

@madsdk11 you are probably too tense and you need to relax, i had the same problem a while back and i learned that if you aren't as tense and focused and using all your energy to play the notes as fast as you can, then it will feel easier.

[MWRiff]

Its good but you move your left hand way too much it WILL cause problems in the future, barre the 3rd fret man.

[UrbanJayMusic]

Yo thanks man helped a lot!

[Satanicsanta090]

"death notes"

hahahahaha

gj

[mikebulzary]

omg thats my bass! fender jazz 24 fret right? what do u think of it?

[Fittygitty]

its the shit i steal that thing from him all the time

[Abrikozenjam]

Nice vid but not completely right.. you should do death notes instead of hearing the E string all the time.. Then it is perfect ;)

[tolinfitz]

I was doing "dead" notes on the E each time. :]

[Abrikozenjam]

im talking about the low e string and you hear that you dont play dead notes there..

[tolinfitz]

I mute the string with my middle finger and sometimes my thumb. It was just a bit sloppy since I had just learned this because people were asking me to make a tutorial for them to learn it. This was also almost 2 years ago XD

[lasgo3565]

hes rite he was go to the slow motion part for the slap part on right hand and youll see

[tuffgong272]

Dude.. that was SWEET!! Keep the videos up..Rock It bro

[arneOalf]

hey....we didn´t talk about MY technique------

[poop4256]

if you did another vid just tell people wat frets your playing it would make things easier. good job tho

[66fenderbass]

come on dude the lighting sucks i cant see shit

[tolinfitz]

sorry. at least it is slowed down. listen to the notes and try to play them by ear. I learned this whole song by ear.

[mdmike07]

Hey tolinfitz! Can you give me the tabs of this song?The tabs I got from websites aren't accurate.thanks.

[arneOalf]

your technique is horrible

[tolinfitz]

it gets the job done. from what i see your "better" technique doesn't mean anything because you miss half of the dead notes in black eyed blond :] look at fleas slapping technique.

[zackdl]

when u mute what do u hit

[juanmart005]

you are a f.... pro thanks man fron ECUADOR!!!!

[patstockley]

nice man.

what bass is that?

it looks a little like a fender jazz... but i cant tell.

im looking to get a new bass partly because i have a fretless bass :P

[sqh1988]

A tough song, but it's easy once you get the hang of it. I'm getting there. thanks man and nice bass too.

[aaronaddicott]

amazing.

[ed00gar]

[BofoDF]

you are awesome

[mrzuli]

thanks! it really help me!

[845515786]

its a bit dark. but u play awesome

[OpSwAnKy]

wow!can you give me the tabs to this song?

[Zephyrus34]

You don't need tabs just watch what hes playing :D, if you dont know how to do that, then learn how it'll be your next step to kicking ass.

[creepr07]

as Benayrsty said [below] you're playing it the way he plays it in the interview by River Phoenix,

in that video, he plays a double thump before the 3-5 hammer-on,

but in the studio version it's

(33h5) on the G

NOT

(xx3h5)

but besides that it's pretty damn amazing

[5 stars]

[tolinfitz]

yeah im gonna remake this because i realize now that i was playing it a little off. I made this video months ago. Its time for a new one. ahha

Thanks for the comment though

[lonewolf604]

how long did it take you to get this good?

[berherbi]

you should release a tutorial DVD ..you are great.....thanks Andreas

[McSwan7]

will u add me as ur friend on youtube?

[McSwan7]

great vid. man it really helped me a lot. ur awesome!!

[goddamfuckingcats]

flawless

kant say enthing else

[tolinfitz]

Booya Thanks man! Hope this helped you if you didn't already know it

[Benayrsty]

you're playing the slap part wrong, listen to the song...

[tolinfitz]

sounds right to me... please explain.

or make a video so i can see what you mean

[Benayrsty]

you're playing the way flea does in the flea lesson when he's talking to river phoenix. The acctual recorded version is different.

[creepr07]

he's right, you're playing it a little wrong

[foster21]

id say his finger techinques are off a bit because they're not moving independantly: it's hard to tell which left hand finger is holding the string to the fret. as a tutorial, knowing where to hit the notes would be useful to me.

[josenet2006]

using your ears would be a lot more useful...

I hate tutorials when they have to show you each finger slooooowly. Come on. It's played slowly enough, both hands... you get the pattern, you get the sounds... do you need someone to physically move your fingers for you? ;)

Great job! Not ahard song to figure out, but hell to master and play well... I'm still playing it at 80% speed! Ouch.

[5017661]

nice job man really gd =)

[tolinfitz]

Thanks a lot :] I hope this helped everyone a little bit at least. the angles were a bit rough...i was holding the camera inbetween my knees at one point trying to film my right hand. If anyone wants i will make a new one... that is more clear.

[jirothefish]

i just cant get the speeeeeed

well i can

but then i cant get all the hits in with my thumb

[tolinfitz]

practice it slow man. try to keep your thumb from swinging to high up it will slow you down.

[tubadude07]

this actually works

thanks!!

[tolinfitz]

no prob man. glad it helped you. i saw so many covers of this that were just so off it was rediculous so i decided to try to help out with what i know haha

[thepepperoni]

the bass line is good

but you dont play some fills and parts

by the way good speed

[maddermofo]

too fast and a bit sloppy dude. but I know you're capable of fixing all that

[RaampJ]

I'm gonna practice that:)

[drdninja]

yes u are very good, but u should have made this video more tutorial like mate. if u need to help then you must speak to the camera. in addition we couldnt see clearly your right hand (especially the pop fingers)

[butchlester]

why did everyone rate this low. its good advice.

[tolinfitz]

i was wondering the same thing . but oh well hahah. Thanks a lot man. i hope it helped you :]

[motoxchamp321]

awsome dude,check out my vid:)

[OnkelPoppoff]

youre great dude!
