Great soung, Great cover.

[mhavlicek2]

Cool Bass

[KillerKnar]

Just because you use a pick on ur bass you suck already...

[StijnZwarts123]

haha everybody thinks you suck! and i agree!

[cursedswordsman]

What a pussy. You just strummed the same string the whole time. You played terrible on the easiest bits.

[TOMEACAJHHAYWARD]

mate sorry to say this but your shit.... your out of time in some of the easiest bits and you dont play the right tabs and miss out the fucking good part of the song on bass .... Learn Hysteria by Muse then make another Video...

[danielmillwater]

Tbh lads I use a pick all the time, I used to use my fingers but I just like the sound better with a pick. It's much sharper and you stand out more live

[Fredlouco22]

its wrong

[mikeeyb31]

is everybody stupid? wtf. its just a pick shut the fuck up.

[proreview3153]

lol he uses a pick in the easiest parts fail

[Cheamilion]

Nate pretty much always uses a pick... Including on this song while live. So I don't really think you can slam the guy for using a pick when the actual player uses one.

[elpndl94]

@Cheamilion You know what? using pick is not for noobs, but this guy actually is a noob.

[HoustonLoveMetallica]

did you use tabs? if so off where cause its pretty accurate

[felipeweb7]

you already have a good bass and a good camera, keep training, keep playing.

[shufflemybuttons]

Having a bass a stupid decal outrules the point of rock rock is about feeling doing the job and FUCKING

[MarthaGx4]

Your notes are a bit off, but it sounds great. :) I play this song, but with my fingers. I'll try to put a video up of this song just for you so you'll play the solo partiesh for the bass. :)

[stopspillinthebeans]

Who cares if he uses a pick or not!?! There are plenty of professional bassists that use picks! and Personally, i thinks this song needed a pick to have a sharp and crisp sound.

[erikman5]

Pick's suck dude! Play with fingers: \m/

[Bigdaddyzaz7]

this guy is a pretender

[RCPooley123]

......pirates?

[510pbfreak]

dood what bass is that?????

[69KroN69]

USE FINGERS!

[69KroN69]

NO PICK!!!!!!

[SpawnKilled01]

is there a tab?



[MattArashi]

@SpawnKilled01 Play from ears.

[Seanbrunswick12]

Your like out of time near the end?

[bullyboy1122]

AWSOME BASS DUDE WHAT IS IT

[o0orhyano0o]

[jamelfrazier29]

[jakesnake64]

get rid of the pick!!!

[bassguyful]

hate your bass but i like your pickups!

[MetalsonicX7]

cool print on that bass of yours ^^

[OrangeBassify]

Sexy bass:)

[dogpuppet]

(pre chorus) is 5 -7 -9 -12, if anyone is watching this vid to learn from it. not 5 -7 -9 -11.

[chris1088]

23k views on a song of this simplicity? Insane.

[jumpster78]

hey could u make a tab of this im looking online an the tabs dnt sound right

[thabasszist]

you have ears bro... use them... you'll be a better musician over all for it...

[14music94]

14music94@thabasszist unless you have sheet music you should try to learn songs by ear. It's ok if youre beginning and use tabs because you need to get used to the instrument but about maybe 2 or 3 weeks after that (depending on how often you play) you should start learning by ear. It also depends on how seasoned a musician you are.

[blubberducks]

really nice playing great song too I am gonna learn it

[bradlovestosk8]

nice bass how much itt cost?

[56bassplayer]

it looks pretty cheap. 200 - 250. 300 at the most.

[merzix]

it's kidda lame, that you don't play the most skillful parts of the song. in the end you turn off the camera before the hardest part :P

[elpndl94]

@merzix actually he is kinda noob, but, the last part is not the hardest part .

[XXXbmthXXXFoReVeR]

[Gittins7]

by the way great cover man, cud you please send me the tabs for this if you still have them? thanks

[Gittins7]

why are people bitching about the pick? so what he used one, maybe thats just how he learned to play bass or jus prefers the sound. it's just a matter of personal taste.

[MsClarzkinz]

can u send me tabs if u got em please and thank u [=

[451032]

how long do you play bass now ?

[EBassPlayer92]

nice e-bass

[geez5557]

i highly agree you play yyz by rush too!!

[Peti541]

your guitar looks awesome:D

[timbobandtom]

i give you 5 star even though you used a pick

you could do that song way easier with you fungers

[Flcracker94]

Nate Mendel uses a pick usually, I think even for this song. That's probly why he's using one.

Love this song =)

[timbobandtom]

yeah but even still i dont like people using picks on basses its just how i am

[KurtRip94]

Picking on a bass lulz

[TheJeffdennis]

theres nothing wrong with picking on a bass its a preference thing dumb ass and better for songs like this dip shit

[LowEndLem]

Picking isn't always bad. Some hard rock and punk songs sound better with it. I do both, but I started as a pick player.

Depends on how you learn.

[jessi15er]

is way better to play a guitar that y i play a guitar than bass

[timbobandtom]

fuck you dickhead people like bass more than guitar and bass isnt easier to play either

[KurdtKobain09]

loox way easy. perfect for me.

[BoomBox124]

try playing yyz buy rush and youll change ur mind :P

[Bassists92]

i strongly agree with tat..

try play it man

[BritishMunkey]

wats this tuned to?

[fatmaru]

nice bass but i think the design on it is kinda over done.

no offense

[poitertoip]

awesome guitar bro.! i stick w/ the basics tho. pure black is the best!

[ozar99]

Sorry buddy, last time i checked, it was a bass NOT a guitar, there two different things

[XBlackHeartedBandX]

well technically its called a bass GUITAR so before you lose your rag with a random guy for no apparant reason why dont you realise that you are saying somthing untrue yourself

[bertdorf4]

how is it different, a third pickup, and that weird thing at the end of the neck, who gives a fuck, my bass is diffetent too, i have a different # of knobs and a "fine tuner". if its different, then what is it

[KlasseNasse123]

Pls, tell me what bass that is! (:

[poitertoip]

idk, but THAT! is fukking awesome.

[aznarul]

i like your bass :P

i have a fender squier i bought it to a music teacher.. i only bought it to learn i only have 3 weeks playing :P

i bought it in $85

can anyone tell me if i did a good invertion buying it?

sorry for the bad engluzh... XP

[XBlackHeartedBandX]

well you probably should have saved up for an epiphone thunderbird but for a first bass a squiers nt too bad

[bertdorf4]

ya, squiers r good, i started off with a yamaha motion and my next bass is a fender stratocaster

[Kyeb20]

No bass has the design of a stratocaster... ehh

[workimage]

u got link to this set of tabs please as the ones i found are a bit diffrent and i think this sounds better

[Patchap20]

Woah nice one man,

Loved it. Keep it going.

[constantpwnage]

i like just that black and white look on basses, but thats just me

[MusicandAnarchy]

Great job covering; this may sound weird but that was too calm. You have to at least rock out. Do something, cas that just got boring. Good technique but thats only one part of music.

[peeker1234]

no offense, thats an ugly bass. get a fender next time 2

[Lazsix]

I dont think its ugly, but it is too "custom"!! Not cool!

[Elltrixer]

rich and spoilt

[leo612367]

hmmmm

[corvy12]

im using tabs and its so hard at the chorus and the part at 1:08 but im getting there cause the way i play its 1-0-3-0

[JJmusicbeat]

do play by tabs

[JJmusicbeat]

nice dude

[jamilaracaille]

beautifull bass but the pick...

[SleekParrot]

its for the sound:P i play with both depending on style of music im playing

[nendo]

yeh its originaly played with a pick anyway so

[Mesershmitt]

great sound! cheers!

[alosga]

[ripkurtcobain789]

[Pyramnt]

[hollyflocke]

great cover (:

what's the tuning of your bass?

[SilentAlarm3]

wow thats pretty awsum :)

lush guitar too :)

its got a great sound :D

[x0nlyfears]

where did u get the sheet music for this? did u just play by ear? if u got some music please send it my way. thanks!

[DionSlayerDion]

is it played with a drop D tuning ??

[zandone45]

no its standard

[jacksonjewelz]

I like the pick, I prob won't use one but it gives the sound it needs for this song...in my opinion anyway...matter of preference.

[ivaylo1987]

obviously it's easyer to play with a pick thats why i dont do it. i think it sounds crap and im a guitarist so whats the point in doing bass aswell if i just play with a pick tis much better n more skillfull to use fingers. Cover sounds good tho nice bass aswell.

[Muragle]

Why is everyone complaining about the pick?

The bassist from the band uses a pick.

It'd be almost impossible to try and replicate his sound using fingers.

[B3LTRAN89]

SICK BASS DUDE WAT IS IT?????

[vitokrcod2]

out of time... you have missed some parts... good bass guitar :P

[abnormalNinja]

nice cover and bass guitar

[dvdboy275]

i play with a pick to. i like it. the sounds is better (for me....). and it is even less difficult to play in my opinion.

[Ramones973]

dude thts a sick bass wat kind

[rockangel166]

Great Cover!!

Awesome Bass Guitar:D!

[phantom3007]

nice cover man!.. playing with a pick has nothing wrong.. it just produces a diferent soud.. it depends if the bassist like the soubnds or not.. I personally like to play with my fingers but i had played with pick a couple of times.. Good Job!

[dwilk17]

dude, awesome cover send me the tab.

don't listen to the pic comments i use picks too sometimes

[Tengent]

There's nothing wrong at all with playing with a pick.

But I play with my fingers, I SUCK with a pick. Good cover. ;D

[peakbernard08]

Nice ! U play great !

And .. Don't care about the others comments about your pick ... The song is played with a pick so ... U need to do it like it is :P

[bassguitarpro88]

the only time a pick on bass should be used is if your fingers are shreaded at the end of a show and you can't take anymore pain in your fingers.

[CommanderDESU]

I would love the tab for this. I just started Bass and need a challenge.

[Saints23ND]

what kind of bass is that its awesome good cover

[heypunkiey]

really nice cover

how long have you been playin

[NoobishMuch]

Like your tone. What brand and model bass you use? Amp brand and model, too.

[ima1crazydudek]

Great Cover!!!

I was woundering if you have tabs for this song?

And if i may have it thx!

[JonnyKJ]

Good Cover...

Why play u with a pick??

What for a Bass is it??

[frostbite67]

picks arent gay, i only use them for things like baracuda but theyre still helpful. Great job & bass

[w4lth3rp99]

why are u playin with a pick...

[makker99]

5/5

great job dude..

your bass looks amazing!

keep it up!

[SalmondKeyStudios]

Absolutely awesome.

I don't understand why everyone's saying "lose the pick". I usually play with a pick, but it depends on the song.

You have a pretty sweet bass too!

[RicoWilder]

nice cover =d.

i dont see why everyone is saying ''lose the pick'' though. I play with a pick alll the time. i LOVE the pick sound. it brings out more volume. n it rocks =d

[Nevermid0]

bad

[DCproductions1991]

lose the pick...pick=gay (on bass)

[replayfox]

yes, you're right ;) but this song MUST be play with pick, without it will be doesn't sound ;)

[CallMeHarold]

Picking and finger have different sounds, dawg. You'll see alot of professions use picks AND finger for different songs. It doesn't mean picks are gay. You're only showing how little you know about the bass.

[djgizmoz]

dude, i need you as my tutor! awesome job

thanks for the video =D

p.s. you have a VERY nice bass...

[crockstock]

man ur the kind of thing my band needs your great

keep at it and never give up

[replayfox]

hehe

[bobbydog33]

[theworkingmann]

Lose the pick.

[Kyeb20]

Its to get the sound for the song :l I use fingers for mellow stuff and when it comes to rock the pick gives me the tone I want.

[sawlpunk]
