God how I hate to see a white boy try to slap a bass. Even Flea, who is funky as shit, slaps in a fucked up way! I guess it's like the overhand hand job!
Yea they are okay I think ibanez is really good but I like the different tones i can get from the fender plus I love the fender jazz bass design. If I had lots of money I'd have a few different basses but for the price I got for the fender jazz I couldn't turn it down.
nice! FAKE!!! how come you slide down but the sound is like sliding on a high pitch.. your in the F fret but the sound is in the octave G.. FAKE!! your finger is not touching the right fret.. not good as well as faking.. very poor... practice man.. dont try to be good in faking..
Aside from the fact that this scentedfart douchebag doesnt know that the clip's just out of sync with the sound.... What the hell is an F fret? Dude, there may be an F in a certain fret... but on other strings it WONT be an F so the fret is NOT an "F fret"... Maybe you should pay a little more attention
The chorus/verse rhythms seem off. Plus there's a way to play it without moving your hand so much (it's all in the first 5 frets).
Also, it's easier to pop/slap if your wrist is level with the strings and brought down more. It's a little weird getting used to it, but it saves your hands and makes you better.
Finally, keep that thumb in the middle of the back of the neck! If you keep it there, your range will increase to 4 notes without having to move your hand.
definately best cover of this song that iv seen on youtube, it would be evn btter playing along to the song but anyway I think you deserve 5 stars instead of 3.5
u sure got teh groove, but teh bass' sound doesn't quite kick ass....i.e. it's a little flat....
i play this song on a precision bass with teh cheapest strings (have to be fresh though) and a compressor, tuning down mid-level frequencies.... sounds cooler IMHO
but yeah, i think it's pretty cool what ur doing :D
yea i've played a musicman before definetely sounds great for slap. I dunno they are both cool basses but i guess if i had to choose i would get a modulus. Modulus has such a unique sound
:D I've posted on like all your videos and theyre all good. I should do some drum covers, but I dont have a camera or mic that can handle the volume input.
ur good... very :D im learning that song. But if u had a whole band or the original song in background it would be better :P And if the sound and picture was moving in the same time :/
that be rather good, cant help thinking it's a little slow, but at least you're in time with the drums. And is that a modulus i spy? or an ibanez? im unsure...
wowking if you actually played bass you would know hes playing the right frets to the song. nice job im learning this song myself i love it. excellent work
the camera was at 15 frames per second thats why it looks like im not playin. Sound and video are not insync, and if i set it at 30 it would be to big of a file to upload. Otherwise i don't give a shit if u think its someone else
Did you just make up the slap line? Because only about 1 out of every 5 slap verses was right, so please know what your playing first, other than that, I give it a 6/10, just keep trying.
TBH, I think its better that he didnt just play it note for note exactly the same. Wheres the fun if you play exactly the same as what flea undoubtably improvised in the recorded track. For it to be closer to the song, its better that he improv'd
