[IRONMAIDENFAN999]

yes



[IRONMAIDENFAN999]

but you can speak Italian?

[jericho667]

@IRONMAIDENFAN999 yeah, sure! it's that I'm used to answer in english, but my italian is quite good ^^

sei italiano anche tu no?

[Eldrian88]

I know "thumbs up if you xyz" comments are gay, but I just had to say

Thumb this up if you are a bass player and you are playing this on your desk in college for hours on end instead of paying attention to the teacher.

[jmsBoBo64]

@Eldrian88 Oh definitely! Except I do it at work and don't pay attention to my work or boss! (lol) This causes problems a lot! :P

[GotTheTime21]

Can you play this song with one finger?

[jericho667]

@GotTheTime21 yes, I could use my index as a pick no problem :)

[nzallblacksrugby8man]

badass mate, keep it up

[Zombienauta]

awesome endurance!

[jericho667]

@Zombienauta everytime as I finish I have to dive my hands into fresh water :p

[naruto1123able]

ha i ll listen to ur cover thn and ty to play along

[naruto1123able]

I guess ur rite ok thn

[naruto1123able]

fair enough but which tab version did u use (thtsif u used ulitmate guitar) or which site thts if u used tabs....cos i hate not knowing which tab is right and looking through heaps of wrong 1's

[jericho667]

@naruto1123able to be honest, a "right" tab does not exist, it never will. users write tabs, so they often make mistakes. if you don't want to play someone else's mistakes, listen to the song and play the notes you hear - the trooper is a song made entirely of 4 notes, should not be impossible ^^

[Drokai13]

@jericho667 Hey man, it's easy to play Maiden songs hearing your covers. The bass is crystal clear!

[jmsBoBo64]

@jericho667 Really love your Bass Covers-you make everything look easy. I know-listen, practice, more practice, and get those notes down *without tabs*! I'm a Bassist too and was told to do the same a long time ago. Everyone might not agree and still want tabs but playing what you hear is the best way to go. It's easier said than done on a song with more than 4 notes (lol) but it can be done. Btw, I have the SH Signature too-isn't it awesome to play?! Keep up the jammin'! >: )

[96muttrix96]

Good cover man! Love your bass too! \,,/

[DivineViperofKaos]

Very awesome job man

[naruto1123able]

Can you find a link for the tabs for me  bro but still pretty good playing :)

[jericho667]

@naruto1123able on google there's plenty of it ^^

[HeadbangerXbox360]

That Bass is fuckin' Great would love to have one by myself but i'm luckky with my Bass too its a Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass

[Hanstrand]

danish beer for the win!

nice cover!

[lovesmily7]

かっこいいっ!!

[nightkiller1015]

[linkin694]

Learnin this song damn its hard to play. with a metronome easyer but the picking is the hard part

[Perimanxxxxxx86]

666 likes lol.......awesome

[elHEAVYmetalMANDA]

you are a verry good player

[NOLEMANful]

Calsberg ..... great cover !!! 

[NOLEMANful]

Calsberg

[Joystiker440]

Steve Harris' powerful bass gallop lml

[Ieatpaste23]

I love how the bass line reminds you of charging horses.

[betachi1994]

Very good

[SkaldfraNorden]

awesome, just played along with you :)

[osmanpbs]

you rock

[jericho667]

@osmanpbs thanks man :)

[BananaBassist17]

just a 3 finger technique?

[jericho667]

@BananaBassist17 in this video I used 2, now I play with 3 because I'm getting old and my hands are getting frail :)

[SternEliteDavid27]

@jericho667 Ehmm .... Does it mean that sometime I also play with 3 fingers????

O.o Ohhhh No!

[AlchaTehImba]

@jericho667 how much time have you been playing the bass, to have achieved 3 finger technique ? I play about 2 months, and i'm using 3 fingers on the trooper..

[jericho667]

@AlchaTehImba I don't remember :)

[BananaBassist17]

how do you play that fast? is there a technique?

[jericho667]

@BananaBassist17 well yes. and no. the technique to play this is simply the ability to play very fast, it comes with experience and practice - but you can help it by turning your amp very loud, more volume means less fatigue on the strings :)

[SeraphSeraphim]

I love this guy's collection of booze.

[younghatter]

Mmmmm Carlsberg :D

[JoanDaBeast]

I use spector all the way

[jericho667]

@JoanDaBeast and which one you think is better - spector or warwick? I like warwick a lt, but I'm curious about spector...

[DrumFuckerFr]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

[silverado41875]

my son has been wanting me to buy him a bass but i dont know what brands of guitars or amps to gethim. what usuggest for a begginner?

[jericho667]

@silverado41875 ibanez soundgear series

[Timmy4pawz]

@silverado41875 Or a Yamaha RBX-174, they're pretty good guitars for the price

[SgtZaqq]

@Timmy4pawz there is no RBX-174 :0 Did you mean some other RBX Yamaha bass?

[Timmy4pawz]

@SgtZaqq I'm sorry, I meant the Rbx 170, they're on GAK for £170 and and good quality basses

[SgtZaqq]

@Timmy4pawz yeah, Yamaha basses are pretty cool. I once played RBX-270, it's RBX-170 with better wood body and some other differences, I think it would be even better.

[Olass123]

exelent cover dude i love your S. Harris signature fender precision bass... I'm not a bassist, but I have hope that by January I'll buy one....

[jericho667]

@Olass123 cool! let me know what you'll get!

[ECKOAREA51]

bass only goes 2 turns for intro not 4

[TheBassplayerc]

Did you mute with yor left hand?

[jericho667]

@TheBassplayerc yes

[2ilsenzacuore9]

Bella cover :) io ho cominciato da due settimane con il basso, fino ad ora ho solo suonato la chitarra quindi questa canzone so suonarla soltanto con il plettro. è davvero indispensabile imparare ad usare le dita o posso restare al plettro?

[jericho667]

@2ilsenzacuore9 è un discorso lungo... sicuramente se vuoi suonare "per bene" questo strumento almeno un po' di dita ci vogliono, ma dipende da te. se ti senti a posto col plettro e la canzone viene bene non vedo perché faticare per niente. (certo, ti avviso che se suonerai dal vivo prima o poi quello che a fine concerto ti dice che "i maiden col plettro sono una bestemmia" te lo becchi :>)

comunque l'importante è che venga bene e che tu ti diverta, dita o plettro chi se ne frega

\m/

[supercool9456]

cleanest cover I've seen so far great job man

[JDeganteA]

2 or 3 fingers??

[jericho667]

@JDeganteA for this video 2, but if I play live I prefer 3 :)

[akonsmakthat]

@JDeganteA 3 fingers is the best to play this song, but he only uses 2. but it works. you only have to be fast

[sanitysvoid]

You played a little bit wrong when you transitioned out of the solo section. You should just keep playing it the same. Message me for clerification.

[SigmaHyperon]

I got dizzy from looking at your fast fingers ZZzzZZ

[jdf111968]

Do I hear a dog barking @ :40-:50?

[jericho667]

@jdf111968 no, impossible, I have no dogs ^_^

[BlueCamoflage]

judging by the shirt and the bottles in the background ur probly one of those people that paly better brickfaced then sober

[jericho667]

@BlueCamoflage sure I used to :)

[seedot47]

what kind of bass is that

[jericho667]

@seedot47 fender precision

[victorgtz]

I'm very impressed. You're spot with sound and you're even doing it Steve's way. Jesus Christ, kudos.

[TheSupercaster]

Well Done! :) helped me alot with learning this song for a school recording cheers :D

[domdom878]

posso avere le tablature per favore???

[jericho667]

@domdom878 certo, se le trovi in internet. io non le ho, non uso quella roba ^^

[domdom878]

@jericho667 wow.. e cosa usi allora??

[jericho667]

@domdom878 le mie orecchie :) se sei in grado di sentire le note della canzone dovresti anche riuscire a riprodurle sul tuo strumento - guardare cover come questa aiuta parecchio all'inizio, poi impari

[domdom878]

@jericho667 ti stimo...

[stonedparyah]

Sloppy as hell

[anonymousthunder]

@MaRkOoxP the bass will blow the speakers so no don't do it.

[fayufo]

This is a really funny song to play =D

[311james311]

yeah nice playing but you really come off as a stuck up asshole spic :)

[jericho667]

@311james311 haha, i know but, nevermind ^^

[robrokks]

Excellent bass work...not only on this song but all the vids you've uploaded! I play bass myself and was wondering what your plucking technique was for this song? I've seen other vids as well showing the three-finger style plucking, but it looks like you are only using two (as Steve Harris does!). Any info is appreciated! Up the Irons!

[jericho667]

@robrokks yeah, that is, here I used 2, usually I use 3 because it's easier, but it's alla matter of practice, do it often and it will become easy :)

[tfinder]

Nice playing and sound.

[chinkfart]

don't see why people think this is a difficult song. it's much easier than a good amount of songs both on bass and regular guitar. I can't exactly say the same for the solo on guitar, because I play bass, and i can't solo for shit. I just wish i had a better quality bass to play it on :(.

[eugenkt]

too hard next one please xD

[zinnia094]

That was insane. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.

[captainfroghammer]

Very nice! bass is so cool, wish I could play. :)

[timster112]

Dude, so good

[Zip2461996]

I came back here after 8 months after I started playing, I ve made quite a progress since then, thanks jericho.

[jericho667]

@Zip2461996 my pleasure dude ^^

[brandon999bass]

@jercho667 hey jercho do you mind if you could send me the bass tabs for the trooper cause I couldn't find the right one.

[jericho667]

@brandon999bass just a little pborlem, I never use tabs ^^

[brandon999bass]

@jericho667 then what do u use :|

[jericho667]

@brandon999bass those two soft outgrows on the sides of my head, the ears ^^

[TheBoats18]

i love your bass what is the brand

[jericho667]

@TheBoats18 never heard about fender?

[TheBoats18]

@jericho667 i have i just couldnt tell that it was a fender plus i play bass my self

[666Metallman666]

@TheBoats18 jungeeee

[afdsads393]

Dude Amazing - How long have you been playing for?

[jericho667]

@afdsads393 I don't remember ^^

[afdsads393]

@jericho667 Oh ok, Well keep going - top stuff.

[COBbassmaster]

what seymour duncan is the best to make steve harris sound?

[jericho667]

@COBbassmaster it depends, maiden sound changed a lot through the years... :)

[mrepilepticzebra1]

@jericho667 Dude i am going to buy a bass and i wonder ( because i have a guitar ) would my amb work for it or i need an amp thats ''MADE'' for bass ? o.O

[jericho667]

@mrepilepticzebra1 well, it will work, I mean that the sound will actually come out of your amp, but it would sound very bad and eventually your speaker will be smashed if you keep using it that way ^^

[WXK96]

it's really good

[pbalduino]

Damn, you're fast.

How much do you practice per day?

[jericho667]

@pbalduino until I reach my goal, if it's easy I practice 5 minutes, if it's hard... :)

[TheGadgetTeam]

how do you play the intro?i was trying for hours but i can't.

[jericho667]

@TheGadgetTeam same as the guitars - you can find some tutorials on yt for the guitar, notes are the same :)

[TheGadgetTeam]

@jericho667 thnx a lot :)

[jericho667]

@OhzSwix I've been asked often, but I hate tutorials, they are pointless and can never really answer people's question and I'm defiitely not better than others, so instead of doing boring tutorials, I prefer just to play ;)

[crazymakatselos]

Thats good ;) check out my guitar cover , wasting love by iron maiden

[rosieangus]

I wanna see your face :)

[jericho667]

@rosieangus you can attend to some of my gigs :p

[rosieangus]

@jericho667 Okay, tell me where and when and I'll be there ;P

[ghdx19]

you rock bro

[ghdx19]

really bad ass

[Soulendeavor]

Love the finger picking/tone/bass/booze! Yeah! Check out my vocals for this tune on my page!

-Steve

[jericho667]

@OhzSwix I have no idea how many millimeters, even because the wood of the neck tends to move, you will never have the exact same action for more than a week - finger lenght has no importance, the important thing is that you figure out how hard you have to play, and this is different for every different person.

[XYLagGaming]

DAMN you played it with two finger.... youre awesome...are you sure Steve Harris isn't your dad?

[jericho667]

@OhzSwix well, I'm not a teacher so I guess I'm not the best person to get this kind of tips from, but I can assure you it's possible to push the strings with fingers alone, you don't neel nails and the lenght of your fingers is important as much as your shoe size :)

[jericho667]

@OhzSwix thx dude! it's much more simple than that, all you have to do is play harder on the strings and push them against the fretboard :)

[keldodk]

Carlsberg!!

[LFJfromGDR]

That's damn good man.

But actually, I don't know what I prefere between your cover and your Tshirt... :)

[jericho667]

@LFJfromGDR cover, trust me :D

[TheChris1623]

8 people tried this and their fingers fell off xD

[ihatyou5]

Thats pretty fucking good.

wouldnt that kill your fingers? :P

[jericho667]

@ihatyou5 yes, it will :D

[Jaizecore]

@jericho667 Sick cover mate..

[sf987photo]

How exactly do you use the Tascam recorder? it just records and you upload it to a computer? how do you upload it to the computer? :P

[jericho667]

@sf987photo tascam works on a usb memory card that fits into my coputer :)

[MetalTillIDie461]

u doin a 2 finger gallop like steve does?

[jericho667]

@MetalTillIDie461 at least I'm trying... :)

[paulopvpaulo]

Beautifoul bass!!

[IronskullTube]

amazing,man!Im speechless...

[alpedistas1]

[mrtsbte]

NICE

[cortadew]

si hanno le migliori video su youtube sotto la copertura di

[jericho667]

@cortadew muchas gracias amigo :D

[60829]

Dang it, and i thought i was getting pretty good at bass!

[gordeteh]

great tone pal got tabs for it??? great bass though.

[jericho667]

@gordeteh no tabs at all here, it's better to learn by ear ^^

[Charliedethklok7]

@jericho667 How can I learn by ear????? Please help!

[jericho667]

@Charliedethklok7 learn to sing along the notes of the instrument you want to play, then seek the notes on your instrument as you memorized them
