Me Playing "Crazy Town - Butterfly" Bass Line

[Ramsesmeriamon2]

RHCP!!!

[tinyindiandude13]

@ericmcq3121 Actually it was Heilil Slovak and Flea, not John Frusciante.

[DJGiGi98]

coole hose :D

[whoiskcwhat]

with one right-hand finger. respect

[Drumdudeification]

can you send me tabs? I honestly cannot figure out how to play... I am a drummer lol but I am currently learning the bass.

[ericmcq3121]

Please change the title to, "Pretty Little Ditty- Red Hot Chili Peppers Bass Cover" Give credit to the gods that are John Frusciante and Flea. Nice cover!

[evans4242]

I want a couch like that. Nice job tho.

[flipgrr23]

you have a marcus miller jazz bass. i want to see u play one of his tracks

[jackjumperfreak]

The title should be: ''Me playing pretty little ditty - RHCP (Crazy town cover)

[theit111]

Only song where the bass solo is bigger than the guitar

[gavmcguinness8024]

I never realised how intricate the bass part was in this song... Fair play man.

[kshitijkumar89]

guys im new to this so help me here ! is this electric or semi acoustic guitar ? or what is the difference & where should i start.

I am freakishly in love with this song & its tune so u can understand my situation how much i want to play this song my self too.

[terceldude]

awesome dude! :)

[SPENNYFAN]

my x is much better at playing this

[paleceumacolneta]

tune ur bass dude. Goood cover anyways

[Drumfather]

Awesome! I covered this on drums! Keep up the good work!

[brendeninchauspe]

just thought i'd let everyone this song is origionally from rhcp.......... i bet a ton of u guys know, but im pissed that there is a lot of people that don't know the makers of the song

[thekyled1988]

Slappin' Da Bass Monnn!

[seikomadive]

awesome!

[heraldam]

nice! try to use more than one finger on your right hand

[StoneBeliever]

@heraldam Why? As long as it sounds good, who cares?

[PumpkinDog33]

@StoneBeliever if you develop bad habits early on it will be hard to break them. learning to play with only one finger will give you a glass ceiling as far as how fast you can play later on. heraldam offered a very helpful comment, actually. your comment was unnecessarily defensive and ignorant.. like saying "who cares if they type with 2 fingers... their words are still accurate"

[StoneBeliever]

@PumpkinDog33 Oh, I agree - bad habits are hard to break. But, that may not be how he always plays, it may just be how he plays this particular song. If you're listening to music, are you going to judge it by the musicians' technique(s) and not the actual music? Well, maybe you would.

And why in the world does it matter how many fingers one types with? I think that is an ignorant comment my friend. If I typed this with one finger, what harm is it doing? Seriously? Does it make me a bad person?

[PumpkinDog33]

@StoneBeliever no it doesn't make you a bad person... it makes you a slow typer. i think you're pretty confused. the comment about using more fingers wasn't meant to be demeaning to the bass player... but rather it was advice for better technique. that's why i said you were "unnecessarily defensive" because you didn't need to stick up for the bass player since no one was attacking him.

[Yumanoff]

Можно играть и 2мя пальцами.

[T1mK1m]

hello there chase from zoey 101!!!!

[Damndude86]

Nice Bass . Nice sound.

[bassspecialist]

Nice bass...where did u get it???

[shona12peppers]

u mean pretty little ditty bass line?

[pallencaoe]

nerd they gave it so shut it

[Silverballer45ACP]

that was cool. try fingering it with 4 fingers instead of 1. is harder but sounds alittle better

[nillert85]

I agree, i wouldnt play it with only 1 finger. But I actually think its harder to play it with just 1...

[Fleabassslap91]

Nice bass. is it the marcus miller jazz bass? but in my opinon you're play it a little bit

wrong

[DorogiaNathrezim]

Very cool! I'm a bassist, too. But I can't find the right tabs vor :( Can anybody help me?

[devilskware]

I can. My name is Google. Just Google me. My friend Ear can probably help you too. I'll ask him.

[DorogiaNathrezim]

... I've searched everywhere for the f*cking song, and nobody is friendly enough just to say me, where I can find the damn tabs! The tabs that I've found, was wrong.

[73h1337kiwi]

try to pick it out by ear then. you can slow it down to half speed in windows media player if you need.

sounds like A minor, but im just guessing.

[bdonameche]

u guys are retarded

[padliger]

0 groove

you play "red hot chili peppers pretty little ditty sampled bass line on the song butterfly - crazy town" not "crazy town - butterfly bass line"

[sire234]

I am allready in a band

[eminemandlp]

me too plays the drums and butterfly isnt a difficalt song or no? very song difficult in the drums is my generation of limp bizkit

and keep rocking in the band

[sire234]

i can play my generation too but it hurts my feet

[eminemandlp]

haha yes you are roght

[ramslax05]

Saying Crazy Town are superior to the Red Hot Chili Peppers is like saying youd rather have sex with a tree over Jessica Simpson.

[Zac152005]

Yeah dude sorry but Crazy Town did sample this bass line from RHCP's pretty little ditty. And no offense but i dont believe the guys in crazy town are superior to the RHCP.

[sire234]

nice I can play this song on drums

[Luckilius]

Listen asshole, there's no reason to take out your anger on me just b/c I pointed out that your favorite band, RHCP, stole a guitar lick from superior musicians.

As for your "album release date" nonsense, here's a little secret: bands write songs all the time that aren't released until years later. I happen to know for a fact that Crazy Town wrote Butterfly before Mother's Milk even came out, so next time why don't you keep your thoughts to yourself if you don't know what you're talking about.

[Hobble]

Luckilius, you must have some serious brain damage. Crazy Town was even formed until 1995. In 1989 the singer of Crazy Town was only 17. If you seriously think Crazy Town wrote it, than you're a serious fucking moron.

[rhcpjuve]

ur one ignorant bastard mother fucka! just shut ur fuckin mouth and agree with juanbassandguitar..he couldnt be more right..crazy town wasnt even around making music when rhcp was. they were probably at home learning to ride a bike. they were too young to have written this before pretty little ditty

[smackitupNflipit]

Jeez, why don't you get off of "juanbassandguitar"s DICK!!!

I didn't know there were so many flaming homosexuals running around on youtube.. no wonder you love RHCP, they always play shirtless!!

[LivingNight2008]

lol ur just mad cuz hes right... cant handle the truth?

[Luckilius]

I can't believe RHCP stole this melody from Crazy Town, what a bunch of biting thieves.

[babakaka]

i dont play that song like u :S

[ibanez991]

Thats how the homo's wrote it. he did it just right.

[pukpen]

maverlous =P

i was so great, i cant do such thing ;/

lol.. but it was great!

[dotac30]

post a vid of you playing it if it is easy then =)

[cebulon6969]

Are you playing the A string? It's supposed to be triplets in that bass line, and I couldn't tell if you were playing the last A. Check out "Pretty Little Ditty" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. That's where Crazytown sampled this song from if you didn't already know. Good Job though

[hoktak]

that was very good playing. well done dude!

[kevindr207]

hey may u plz make a video of how to play that and the steps to do it ^-^ ......plz

[sydorbass]

it's not the butterfly bassline.

[EgoTrippin311]

my bassist plays it with all three fingers, i think that's how flea plays it as well, try it out if you haven't

[violent2000]

good job blow job

[majishan77]

awesome...

[spcwf98]

This song is actually "Pretty Little Ditty" by the Red Hot chili Peppers, of of Mother Milk in 1989. Check it out. Nice job by the way. Sounded good.

[JuiceBoxProd]

this a fun riff to play

[theblackwingangel]

yea hell im proud of him

ive been playin for 8 yrs

i have respect for all players of anything of any level

[rodex1994]

good job

[stonerodger]

he sounded good to me. And have respect, all people are different.

[atens]

I love this bass sound!:D jaja!;)

[slasher542]

I love this song, it's a very good choice XD

[punkofunko]

well, it dm, hes doin a great job as it is!

much better thn me

[sammi2k]

i Think he's doing a very good job...

And i also love Pretty Little Ditty.....

Almost the same lines^^

Both in very good contextes^^

I play it with three finger.. Index finger.. Middle finger and my thumb.. but i think it's yours, in what way you can play better...

sry my english is bad

[uifiachra]

u dont HAVE TO use a specific amount of fingers,ive seen people play with four but u can use whats comfortable and what suits the song. i think it sounds very good

[psajmonpl]

It's oryginally Red Hot Chilli Peppers... I mean music. They even took it straight from album, so on videoclip they should put a pc instead of gay looking musicians

[agentbeckham]

You got a Point

[timp12345]

funny thing is, crazy town got there break off of opening for the RHCP on a tour

[streetbikerbob]

i play with my thumb so hes doin fine....and im good

[ifukcinghateyou666]

dude i love it

never get tired of that song =)

fuck what others are saying about playing with one finger, in my opinion you do a great job =)

[deucelittle]

one finger? shame on you

[pari666]

BTW i see that loads of bassists pluck the strings like at the back...i try it on my bass...sounds like shit...the strings are like rock solid...sum1 plz explain

[ephekzem]

hes doing it right over the pickup..

[PennyThief531]

very nice

[IcedBudweiser]

shame bout yout hair

[b9y]

take it off its rhcp mate

[broyalwithcheese]

one finger mania

[rugbysk8er]

red hot chili peppers are the best

[dbz1278]

um yea dude alternate your fingers

[ryancuther]

sounds okay..a bit sketchy but drecent..i dont like how you cheat by running your finger along the strings tho

[zhouye]

wow seriously this sucksass. red hot chili peppers are better. but u had to ruin ur other video of pretty little ditty and put on this terrible ass band. god thats so gay

[vbaker4]

Why would you go through the trouble to do pretty little ditty and then this? Its the same exact bassline from pretty little ditty twords the end of the song. Don't stoop to the level of that band.

[stephlizhym19]

Im liking you're guitar too,niiice.

[FlusherD12]

dude pls could u post me the tabs ur a legend i just cant get the timing right thnx man

naughty_nick8 hotmail com

[Craigsybone]

Sounds good man. You should play some Tom Sawyer by Rush on bass, that would be crazy. lol

[Poopweiner]

first of all that was dead on, awesome job. and to all of you jack offs who think you are so good. people have theyre own styles. play howevers most comfortable and dont listen to them.

[PoopPoopFart]

From one Pooper to another, I'd just like to compliment your pooperific user name.

[metalgamerfreak]

yea sounds amazing nice job

[bassgsr200]

Sorry about the dispute. Sounds great by the way.

[bassgsr200]

I never said that I played better than you. Other people commented on the one finger stuff too. You don't need to be all defensive about.

[mishkaaa]

I'm not defensive...

The fact that other people said that, it doesn't mean you have to say that too, and it doesn't mean that playing with one finger is worse than paying with two.

Otherwise, I'm very glad you noticed it...

[bassgsr200]

They stole that bass riff from the Chili Peppers. Learn to use your other fingers.

[mishkaaa]

First of all, I don't see that you play better than me!

Second, I've posted one more video of that song, check out the profile.

Third, you didn't tell anything new about that thing with RHCP...

[NanoOnTheBass]

You missed the intro... there's bass there also...

Oh, yeah, and the one finger stuff, already said.

[hoypinoymonkeyboy]

he playign with only one finger o.o wtf

[vanishPK]

Played with one finger?! Uff

[twinkspink1]

wicked!!!!

[Doubledee90]

that was sweet ...i love that bass line

[deadkennedynick101]

Whoever says "That's not correct" is just an attention seeking loser. Nice Job, who gives a fuck if one note is wrong

[sanchez697]

Good Job.

[CNURaptor]

Nice cover of FLEA's bassline.

[thybestfriend]

In fact, I really enjoy that version!

[mikethecoug]

You played the right notes but the wrong rythm listen to it lol but well done

[D4ni31]

how much was that bass

[ArainiaPipes]

Excellent playing! I'm gonna learn how to play that too, thanks for the lesson. Hey, someday, I hope to see you on MTV! Keep playing...

--Arainia :)

[samzzz]

that wass crazy towns only song and it wasn't even their fucking music

[Giggleheimer]

Eh, the RHCP knew Crazy Town were gonna use it, they gave them permission! Hell, they may even have got paid for it! :P

[Naut]

of course they knew, and of course they got paid. regardless though, that riff shouldn't be credited to Crazytown.

[CNURaptor]

doesn't matter if they got permission. They made millions of dollars on a song that WAS NOT THEIRS

[MorningView4]

^ Right On Fuck Crazy Town...Alot of people thought they were sweet for this song even though the music wasn't there fucking own

[ty1993]

You should cover Pretty Little Ditty not the One Part that some crap band stole

[twathead2005]

nice 1 u helped me figure it out u rok!!

[Frogga]

great.. but not perfect..

[thebillabong]

very skill master bass dude:P

[serjtankian1]

fucking stupid crazy town took that from the red hot chili peppers, they used the same exact beats and everything. the song by the chili peppers is kalled pretty little ditty. Pretty little ditty came out in 1988, crazy town was fucking formed in i think 1995. assholes. kool bass line tho =)

[simonjenkin]

Do you not understand the music buisiness?

Do you really think you can get away with 'stealing' something THAT obvious from such a massive band?

It's a fucking SAMPLE of the song Pretty Little Ditty and permission must have been granted before they could use it. There's countless examples in the music industry.

[ChrisLaBenne]

Dude, nice job on the Crazy Town bassline. Very cool, I didn't realize the bass was like that. Very sweet.

[vontrobass]

You`ve go two fingers. Use them.

[mishkaaa]

I know, I don't use them both when the song is easy to play

[fila365]

I actualy use 3 fingers on this tune... How u manage with one is beyond me xD

[mdc11]

By the way,... very nice bass!!! heheheh "Marcus Miller"

[mishkaaa]

Oh yeah=]

[mdc11]

It's wrong ,.. that's nice, almost correct, but it is not the right line.

Listen to Pretty Little Ditty from RHCP.

[mishkaaa]

I took it from Pretty Little Ditty...It must be correct...

Even Flea uses the same fingering I use

[eliran009]

alla mishkaaaaa

[alex6p]

pretty sweet dude nice one

[hagi01]

That's pretty good man!
