[Synard13]

Ellefson has a youtube account? Why am I only finding this out now?

[showmaker]

@Synard13 I know man! I just read about his channel on Sweetwater

[IcemanJaymz]

Dave is a true legend in the Metal World. Our band "Saints & Sinners" is a tribute to all metal bands that inspire us, certainly including Megadeth. Dave is one of the best flatpick bass players alive today! Check us out on YouTube under "Saints & Sinners Barbershop"

Great David. Very good ideas for my studio. México City

Making music your business.....And making it good.

[TheIn2Nation]

Hi, David.I`ve just realized I`ve spoken to you as "Dave"Of course.I didn`t think about that, `cause in Argentina,Dave might be a kinda more familiar way of calling a friend..

So, my excuses;I didn`t take you as Dave (Mustaine)xD

Thanks again, your teachings are very helpful, I`m a woman bass player on my own,and I love all stuff related to recording..

You`re great!

The best bassist for Megadeth,and, I know, a good friend for Dave on his difficult moments

Thanks for that , too!!

Like a fish, with hook in mouth!

[kuzurame]

Hey dave awesome tutorial, its awesome for a friend of mine because I'm trying to make him into a bassist thats as good as you.

[NorthrendProductions]

Even if this is not the real Dave, I wanna thank you for sharing the lessons and updates from this channel. I appreciate it.

[MetalHeadunit]

I love the intro of the video! Whats the name of the song?

[CoyBlackenedDeath]

Yeaaaaah men, Withouth You Megadeth Isn't the same on the last years

[silveroon009]

Hasn't been. He's back. :)

[leezus83]

cheers david:)

[Warghost1000]

Seriously, Ellefson is one of, if not THE best metal bassist of all time. He's even better than Steve Harris(iron maiden's bassist), which is saying a lot! He seriously rules. He's also great for taking time to upload videos for all of us who are clueless about the music business. Thanks David!

[Smoothbassline]

@Warghost1000 too right its great he did these

[somps33]

He's a nice guy too, I met him in '06, got a hand shake and autograph. My image showed up on his bass with the mirrored pick guard on his F5 dvd! That's how close to the stage I was! If ya haven't guessed......he's my biggest bass influence.

[saeth105]

@Warghost1000 i think he's just under steve, but he's still a bass monster, and probably the best pick bassist of all time.

[piemelbrieislekker]

@saeth105: In my opinion Steve Harris is sloppy as hell, he's got his own style which is cool, but that guy doesn't hold the low end together (for my taste he has too much treble going on in the mix). And David is a good bassist, but as far as metal bassists go, you might want to check out Sadus, and in particular the bass player Steve di Giorgio, he's pretty amazing. And don't forget Peter Steele (R.I.P.)

[kipster808]

@saeth105 just a crazy fact for you dave played with his fingers until the R.I.P. album because things got faster and just extreme as hell so he switched to using the pick the entire time

[Nightwolf7285]

Hell yeah he knows what he's tlaking about he was with megadeth...... MEGADETH HE WAS WITH THEM ABOUT 18 YEARS OLD AND SO ON

[jordisonrulz15]

This guy knows what he's talking about. Great musician too.

[only1clover]

[Giancarloflying]

Great video David! I hope you play Toronto Canada with F5 or any of your bands ;]

[espenn]

Great David! Interesting stuff, keep it coming. Thumbs up for doing this in HD as well.

[BassMasterValenteen]

Good vid dave. Cheers

[adammberry]

Thanks David, look forward to hearing and seeing more. Thanks for helping us out!

[unrealexplorer]

[ScaryCherryBangBang]

great video, more more!

[trinixia]

Your book was great reading and inspiration for me back in the day. Thanks Dave!

[gtmo]

Great work as always.

[megaluisdeth]

This is great man! Now I have something to be aiming for not just looking for stuff! Thanks! HOOK IN MOUTH!

[pulseimages]

Great video! Excellent idea to do something like this.

[IvantheSexySASMoose]

Great first video, really interesting. Looking forward to the next!

[SymphonyOfDestruct99]

Anything made by Junior is great

[drummercafe]

I'm surprised at how poor the audio is ... and you are sitting in a studio control room shooting HD video! How about using a lapel mic or a condenser mic overhead (out of the shot)? Doing this would take your show from "good" to "great"!

[MustaineMan17]

i love you david and i am a freakin guy , you are awesome
