@ger10ard Sorry I don't use tabs I'm a play-by-ear guitar guy.

[jengadill]

I've played that song probably a hundred times and NEVER used that finger position on the sig riff. I play it down the neck utilizing more open strings. Good job overall tho.

[l0rdnazgul13]

hahahahahahahaha

[scottrule1]

Just curious.  I have taught myself to play this using alot more open strings. It does not strain my hand as much. Why do most bassist seem to not play with the open strings that much?

[Mrbassman51]

The reason behind this is that it gives you more control over the note you are playing. That's something i've learned over the past eight years of playing bass

[MoldyDux]

You want to try to avoid playing open strings because you will notice it doesn't have as smooth as a sound, rather than holding the 5 fret (with exception to the E string, where it's always going to be open). Open notes tend to have more of a metallic note and it's a bit harder to control the note, like when you have to stop it. Also, it makes it much easier to go up and down the neck since you're just basically playing the same pattern of notes, just at a different location. BTW awesome cover!

[blueblob4]

Easier to mute them. Just take your hand off the (5th) fret and it stops vibrating.

Most people also like playing up the fretboard because the frets are closer together, allowing faster playing and you don't have to stretch you fingers as much

Does that clear it up?

[scottrule1]

Thanks everyone for the comments. As I move forward in my learning of the bass, I really need to stop working with the open strings. Everything you guys have told me makes sense about muting and all. I have developed some techniques to mute the open strings and still play fluidly, but I am concerned that I am taking on some bad habits.

[sochidi]

cool

[izik30]

You make it look so easy. Damn, I started playing the bass a year ago and still can't move my fingers quite so fluidly. thanks for the inspiration

[lancego30]

truly admirable talent

[ModniMacak]

more than awesome ...

[infusion26]

Thanks :-)

[westfield90]

Really Superb.
