nicely played, but i think you can rock out a bit. Flea is such a energetic bass player and you play it so calm. (wich is a awesomething to play a song like this so relaxed). But id say you can use more 'power' or 'spirit'
you are awesome man! I play drums and i'm good but i'm kind of interested in bass. If i could get together with a bassist, i could begin forming a band. Good playing, once again.
the world needs more bassists. idk why but i think just guitarists, singers, and drummers are becoming overrated lol. this is like the only bass cover i've ever seen in a related video section. so. take that as you will.
I must admit, I have tried to learn this song with slap to improve my skill with the technique, but this song sounds fine either way. Good cover, liked the improvisations!
Yours is definitely the best version on YouTube. How would you rate the difficulty level of this song for a bassist? 0 = new to bass....10 = can play anything
not to be racist dude but this reminds me of a funny time on family guy! peter once said when they were starting a band every black guy can play the bass and cleavland said thats not true and picked it up and started playing really well and said "what the hell???" lol. i love family guy
I agree that slapping is over rated but i believe it sounds really good with this song. But still without the slapping this is one of the better covers of this song. Good job
I'm sorry but DoughnutGG, you're wrong. It's impossible to tell whether this is the very expensive Musicman Sterling or the 600$ give or take Musicman Sterling SB14. There are different types, get your facts straight.
no you're just retarted. the SB14 has a different body profile slimer longer tuners and says SB14 on the headstock. if you turnerd the HQ setting on and look at the headstock it says MUSICMAN STERLING, and to add to that the SB14 has a different headstock design with a slimmer proflile and a more defined hook in it. the bass being used has the bulky Musicman headstock. the SB14 can only be purchased with a painted headstock to match the color of the body. thanks for being stupid mate.
@younglung You don't have to slap to be good. But slapping and popping is one awesome thing, it kinda gives you a more "percussion" side of bass and funky feeling.
@younglung: Great performance. Regarding slapping: The use of the slap technique has declined since mid 90ies. There is either electronic music or if it is a rock band they tend to use a pick. The original Suck my kiss song was fingerpicked anyway.
Lol. You do it yourself. I personally don't like slapping because it sounds to harsh. I prefer pizzicato, because i like a full bass sound. Also, people these days must believe that if its funky, you have to slap. The bass in Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang has no slapping techniques at all in it and it still sounds funky as all hell. Point is, if you play a riff with with a certain technique, then play it again with a different technique, it will still be same style. Only the timbre changed.
Style is not technique and technique is not style. Style depends on the rhythms you use and note choices you make. Technique is how you approach the instrument to play that style. Slapping and tapping will not guarantee you a spot in the studio. You're ability to play an assortment of styles will play a much bigger role in the music business than your ability to use different techniques. Technique is personal preference, only the style is standard.
I like your cover, and I like your extra little fills and slides, but I don't really like them in this song.
I'm not saying that you can't improve on Flea's work, or your extra bits aren't cool, or that you aren't good on bass, I just don't like them in this song.
i have to say this is freaking awesome and hey dude you know that this is a slap bass line? becuase if this is good i would love to see you play it slap style
