smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) (pro bass lesson)

[888mandalore]

i hate to say this but the nice man is getting it wrong...

and dont argue, i have the official nirvana songbook. so ner :P

[islapilluminati]

@888mandalore it's possible that he simplified it for the sake of beginners...because this dude is a good bass player...but you are right...he isn't playing it right....certain notes are missing....and patterns are slightly off

[LegendsofGH]

@888mandalore as do mate but tbh does it matter wish way u play it most people reconise the "noob" version sooo no big

[azerty7889]

that's an ugly accent

[BJkingsize]

[Robsun25]

[dreamgod13]

[31rS3RP3N7]

Welcome, to another episode, of Bilbo Baggins plays bass.

[deadsoul666100]

Sound better if you include the 3rd fret on the a string.

[MrMaxHolm]

Wait, what does "dyn" mean?

[ReliantKay]

[georgeuser21]

[duemyster87]

[Espere312]

"pro bass lesson"... lol

you need like 20 seconds to learn this song, if you're not a complete beginner...

[geunsjl]

any links to the tabs cause I can't find the ones you are using:s

[KRKMuffinman9]

I love Nirvana but the bassline in the song SUCKS. Its so boring, they should have been more creative.

[Onfire757]

@KRKMuffinman9 haha true but too bad it was the #1 song of the 90's

[elitevisherman]

up dow up down thats what we doing with yyou girlfrend!

[rojall]

@elitevisherman 1. That's one of the worst insults I've ever heard.

2. Learn grammar, you sound like a fucking immigrant

3. Also, you should learn how to spell

[rojall]

Awesome tutorial, been stuck on the tab so I searched for some tuts on Youtube instead, and this really helped me out. Subscribed :)

[N0ir400]

As a long time bass player, this was an excellent lesson. Too bad Youtube wasn't around when I started playing. Thanks for taking the time to help out & teach!

[sandenus]

@+ Phil

[ComfortWipe32]

wrong mate

[blonkyman]

nice job man it was a good video

[ANDiTKO]

This is wrong. The way you play it. Wrong tab.

For section 1 im 100% sure its played on the lowest string only because it has a slide. I have heared the original bass recording.

Great video btw and nice bass!

[lordsarius]

Because of you I can play this song now!

Thanks!!

[FennicaOrigins]

Beats "expert village" anyday

[overclockeador]

Im a noob with the bass... I bought one today and i'm starting to love it. Btw this video is awesome, i'm following it, and i'm starting to sound decent (sorry for my bad english)

[Twiggyay]

@overclockeador You're getting decent after oney day of playing the bass... *Facepalm*

[overclockeador]

@Twiggyay Y por que no lo mamas? maricon de mierda, anda a meterte la mano, no en la cara, si no en el culo, so maricon de mierda.

[Twiggyay]

@overclockeador Please write in English as most of the world can't understand Spanish.

[overclockeador]

@Twiggyay Pues si no entiendes, estudia o te jodes maldito pargón plasta de mierda, gringo basura ¬¬ hdp

[Twiggyay]

@overclockeador This is why no one likes latinos...

[overclockeador]

@Twiggyay A tu madre si que le gustamos todos, en especial cuando es de noche xD, como dicen ustedes pinches gringos de mierda: L.O.L. xD

[mturk1008]

@Twiggyay You sucks !

[Twiggyay]

@mturk1008 Did you delete your comment or something? well, i'm responding to that one anyways.

The guy said he was getting decent after ONE day of playing bass, i've played guitar for a year and bass for a month and even i isn't "decent" at bass.

I uttered his fail and then he replied with nonsense spanish.

And for the fucking record, i'm Norwegian and i know English, Norwegian and German, fuck you.

[mets50504]

0:38 - 0:39 Thats not the D string mr. pro bass lesson

[horserider101202]

[ConorSomerz]

[Bonza99able]

[descargamusicalny]

cool, i have the same tannoy monitors!!

[TaintedDirectOr]

smalles lak tin spurit by nervaana

[hobbayne]

Not a bad explaination for beginners, but why dont you call the notes out as you play them? Its alright saying 1st string 1st fret 2nd string second fret, but to a new player they must learn the position of the notes on the fretboard eg F Bb Ab Db.

There is also a passing C note on the way back down to the Bb, but not a bad lesson.

[MeerasLife]

@hobbayne I agree, im teaching myself because I cant afford lessons so I use videos like this, but I only know one note! (G = 3rd Fret of the E string <:D)

[kouitou]

Quand je vois la vidéo de 2.18 à 2.29 je me dit que "pro sesson" c'est de la foutaise, il ne joue même pas la vrai tablature, tu écoutes la musique une fois et direct tu te demandes où sont les slide qui font tout le "groove" de cette ligne de basse ?

[shock3421]

wow davemarks, good job playing the amazingly easy bassline to this song incorrectly. lolz.

[OasisMods]

The strings are pretty loose.

[Pieter95]

Wrong

[AICproducciones]

he says "dine" instead of down LOL

[SomiVulc]

omg So sexxy bass guitar *.* oO oaaaaaaaah...

[Cidantis]

this guy reminds me of a faggot

[shneeko6]

@Cidantis im sure he gets more pussy than you do. Not that it matters because im sure youd prefer the sensation of a big throbbing cock wedged in between your tonsils.

[Cidantis]

@shneeko6 all i said was he 'reminds' me of a faggot. you sir have communication problems.

[malibuhiegts]

@shneeko6 Fucking lol

[ChevyAdrian1]

@shneeko6

LMFAO oh shit thats funny... XD

[BrolySuperSaiyen]

First of all, good tutorial.

But, ( you know those YouTube Translation thing. ) At one of the last lines, it said: " Which is the whole three of them together she who will play along Iraq War"

WTF!!!! xD

[Ferniekicksbutt13]

i love that METALLICA poster in the back

[blkstrps29]

@Ferniekicksbutt13 i totally agreeee about that poster its so awesome dude..whompwhompwhomp\m/\m/\m/­\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/

[LittleGothick]

[oriman3d]

nothing worse than an instructor who doesn't know what he's talking about or how to play the song right.

[capocchiate]

[cameronj279]

@meatballmap196 why not use a pick? its just another way to play, like slapping or plucking

[TributeMr]

Hello unfortunately I have to give criticism on this video!

The third part is wrong!

In this part you have to play four times and then F FIS

Then again you have to play four times F but then B and then GIS

[T800rule]

[gleuber94]

[tshirtdav]

[guitarnbassdotwebs]

can u make a lesson on nirvana about-a-girl

[zarkiin]

you look like my math-teacher..

[Homerhorst]

why did you use a pic???

[Tfr3sh17]

I'm sorry, But you do NOT need a lesson for this, it is so simple.

Verse:EEEE-A#A#A#A-#G#G#G#G#-C­#C#C#C#

 Repeat

Then Chorus : E_E-A#_A#-GG#_G#-C#_C#E Repeat

[qprender2011]

it's F,Bb,Ab,Db. same thing as you but it's F not E

[Tfr3sh17]

Oh sorry thanks man, I did mean F But, Fucked up as usual :D

[qprender2011]

lol hey everyone does man. i believe the key signature is Ab. but it's nice to see someone using the note names and not just fret numbers haha. music theory. gotta hate it. but love it at the same time haha.

[Tfr3sh17]

Right on man, Necessary evil, right>?

[qprender2011]

haha of course. but it just helps you so much more than it hurts you. i've been involved with music since 4th grade. i've played the trumpet since then and i've played tuba for about a year and a half now. i've played bass just about a month more than that. lol. i'm all self taught on bass and tuba

[qprender2011]

i taught myself how to read music and everything for it. i'm in jazz band at my high school

[gigue84]

i play it diffrent, more intakt with guitar, i pick the e string 3 times insted of 2. one alone then the secound doble(fast after eachother). playd it live:P

[gigue84]

(dine, opp-dine, insted of din, dine)

[splatterduke]

if you play bass and you dont know how to play this song, no no nevermind, if you are wanting to learn bass you this song should be a no brainer

[roejogan8]

@splatterduke actually it's hard to hear exactly what the bass is doing over the distortion and drums. the only reason i know how to play it perfectly is because krist's bass track is here on youtube all by its lonesome. u can hear every little thing he does.

[TheTreacherousTrevor]

"dine, dine... oop-dine-oop-dine" didn't you hear him it's simple as fuck

[roejogan8]

close brother. the first part is picked 3 times. like duh duh duh. not duh duh.

[boratslaya]

yeppers

[068856]

its 'down' not 'dime'

[NeptuneMS385]

it's his awesome accent, don't go yelling at people -_-

[068856]

just a correction dude

[MonkeyManBlues]

He is saying down. It's his accent that makes is somewhat sound like dime.

[068856]

oh o.o

[spikNspanDAN]
