Cry of the Banshee Tapping

[MakeMeMad31]

its the best cover on youtube.just slower,but right

[HeavyMetalViking89]

Just for anyone who wants to learn to play this themselves: It's easier with the "Human capo" technique

[DELIGHTFULYPSYCHOTIC]

that was cute x)

[captcrunchjr623]

you have 20.5k views for this!? youre famous!

[wenz9492]

you need distortion to get a better tapping sound

[Crizel81]

and how do strings change a thing? sound?

[LarzHH]

@Crizel81 Do you play bass or guitar? >.<

[Crizel81]

@LarzHH both but im concentrating on bass cuz my guitar strings broke

[Crizel81]

aww sweet! it bass ithot it was aguitar thingee

[3DTyrant]

silly question, but can it only be done on bass? or can it be done on eletric too?

[Hushmowf]

@3DTyrant nah the guitar part in the song mimics the bass part. They're note for note the same at some parts.

[3DTyrant]

@Hushmowf oh nice man, thanks, and btw, nice job on the cover :D if only youtube dont stars again -_- i'd give it 10/5 if possable then :P

[gibsondanny]

@3DTyrant starts on D String 5th fret. but the electric guitar parts start on the 8th fret on the B string

[Kicks2094]

[MaverickJack66]

this song looks harder on guitar.

[waterzoip]

@MaverickJack66 believe me, it is fucking not, you gotta push 100 times harder on bass srtings

[MaverickJack66]

@waterzoip fair enough man, sorry.... like I said, it LOOKS harder on guitar. I didn't say it WAS.

[waterzoip]

@MaverickJack66 ok good ^^, so you know =P

[TYX1123]

@waterzoip

Indeed

I know he was just saying, but i hate people that go like

"everything on bass is easy, guitar is real skill!"

It pisses me off,

[jimikimball]

[abbass92]

[Medevil9908]

@abbass92 looks like a Fender Precision Bass or something similar.

[Antilevitation]

@Medevil9908  Have you ever seen a P-bass?

[realninja01]

hey thats quite good though im asking out of curiosities sake and am by no means downing you but are you going a little slow just to show how its done? alot of people do this just to make sure everyone can catch on to it

[TYX1123]

@realninja01

[jlgrey]

[mattsheetst]

That was a tasty lick Ben. Now you just need to learn how to play guitar like me brah.

[mattsheetst]

[mattsheetst]

@mattsheetst  Dang my computer is so stupid, it posted to many comments, sorry guys

[mattsheetst]

Nice job Ben. classic brah. Now the only thing you need to do is learn how to play guitar like I do.

[mattsheetst]

Nice job, my main man Ben. We need to play some reggae on thurs though. so bring your guitar if you can brah.

[mattsheetst]

[neuropulsation]

nice work man

[darkknight12348]

good fucking job man! keep it up!

[earthman202]

I think the vid is lagging a bit but great job

[metallicamasters1020]

looks fake

[Zach9898]

What kinda strings u using ?

[Hushmowf]

Ernie Ball Extra Slinkies

[Zach9898]

I LEARNED THIS SONGG i love the begining, it took me a while to get the tapping down and learn how to do it properly on bass but its worth while to learn!

[Hushmowf]

Indeed

[twinkies281]

@Zach9898 were could i learn it?!?!

[fecesforjesus420]

great job man

[RussianCivilian]

Nerds make the best metal. You know what happens when people who aren't nerds like you make metal? They turn into emo fucks like Avenged Sevenfold and My Chemical Romance. Even if basswizard ISN'T James, i'd still be willing to bet that he could kick your ass. Money on the prize, faggot.

[basswizardry]

Some of us have lives and can't make videos all day - have patience, and I'll get to it. We have a show next week, if you'd like, come down and see it in person.

[RussianCivilian]

I think i can solve this and TopZero can get his stupid answer. This is a question only the bassist from Brocas Helm would know. "On the Space Bass, where did the strips of mirror come from and what is the pickguard made from?"

[basswizardry]

Mirrors came off a carnival ride, and the pickguard is made from a cymbal.

[basswizardry]

Oh, and one of the machine heads is bent - a fan jumped on the stage when my back was turned, and when I spun around, it caught him in the head. He wears his scar with pride.

[RussianCivilian]

haha thats good enough for me just about! Idk about you TopZero? Sounding a little nervous up there like you just insulted Brocas Helm's bassist or something. Haha there are a million other worthy and obscure questions i could ask him.... if you are still unconvinced. Though, Wizard; a vid would be nice. Jack Hays has a few up I believe of some studio futzing. I seen em yesterday, damn fine drumming skillz. Live vids of you guys are notoriously rare.

[RamblinMan13]

@basswizardry shit thats the fucking wizard man. props on the cleanest bass tapping and lead playing out there. any chance of brocas helm recording anything else? you still keep playing my favorite kinda metal and we all want to hear more

[RamblinMan13]

@RamblinMan13 oh and lead as in bass lead to clarify i like when the bassist doesnt hide behind a band like they do nowadyas

[efbellweather]

Hey top zero

I'll bet you any amount up to one million Dollars U.S., (cash only)

That Basswizardy wrote cry of the Banshee.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Bad things happen when you get the Wizard mad.

[Chevenitsu]

That was lame it looked like you didn't even try to sync.

[RussianCivilian]

LOL, wow. Forget it. Just be quiet. Brocas Helm isn't even famous so its not like the players are shielded from fans. Im willing to bet money that BassWizardry is James, just like I know im the guitarist for the Moon Milita, another obscure rock band.

[basswizardry]

You can say I didn't write it, but don't bet money on it. I'll put up a video soon.

[RussianCivilian]

needs MOAR LOUD! Crank the volume, man. You got the skillz, now get the KRANK!

[basswizardry]

Looks right to me, and I wrote the damn thing. Not fake.

[Jiubatha]

FAKE!!!

[XavSch]

@Jiubatha why would it be fake, if it's an easy song???

[zoidberg4eva]

it's pretty good :D im gunna learn it tonight, just one piece of advice, could you perhaps re-record it but make it louder so it's easier to hear? thanks dude!

keep it Metal ;)

[ovERloRD2407]

i've just finished learning the intro on bass. i could make a video if anybody wants help with it. My dad just got a new camera so should be pretty good quality. I'll try and do that when i get the time

[mappyt27]

@ovERloRD2407 if you could make a video then it will be appreciated because i need to learn it =]

[ibegeorge7]

I'm sitting here trying to sound this out by ear and by trying to watch your hands. Is there any way i could get you to send me a tab?

Good job on the song btw.

[Captainofgondor]

No Baylicarr, He's playing it correctly on the video, it's not fake.

Hushmowf, you fucking rock :D I just tried to learn this, it's very hard to play it fast sounding good, impressive man : )

[cliffallica]

man the lage is so bad on this video its crazy

[Baylicarr]

Fake!!1!
