Silversun Pickups Panic Switch (bass cover)

[gotanysparecake]

Don't stick your pinky out like that. That's how people get injured.

[emusedone]

@gotanysparecake Oh I know and agree but my pinky does it on its own because of my rheumatoid arthritis (complication of Lupus) my hands & fingers are really affected so I can only use two fingers on the frets & two plucking. Sometimes I can get a third finger to work if I'm not in pain that day. But my darn pinky locks on me. Ugh!!!!!

[CCrestTheMusician]

now thats consintration, your dog barks and you didnt even stop, =D

ill, !! lol !!

[emusedone]

@CCrestTheMusician lol!!! I know, she is constantly bugging me, so I've learned to ignore her! But when we have band rehearsal at my house, she leaves cuz of the noise which is nice!

[projectzerobass]

very well done i am a bass player also i see you have done super masive black hole but you should try uprising by muse very chalenging...i am justgetting the hang of it in my band p.s. it uses two strings at a tyme...drop D

[KnutOhneHut90]

I really love this! Great cover!

[MixedCDsPwn]

I believe you played panic switch very well :)

I've always been attracted to the sounds of bass & dreamed of learning and becoming a bass player as well. your videos do inspire me since you are just a beginner/intermediate player. whether you just started jamming out for physical therapy or for fun, you rock. and i hope to be at least as good as you :) you & nikki from silversun pickups are the coolest. haha

[FallenAngelsIve]

*thumbs up*

[MrMetallibanger8695]

love the way you put the pinky

[Laurenatthescene]

this is a great cover...lol,sophie is a good "singer" :)

[HevedRios]

yeah



[mikesohc81]

epic. thank u now i know how thats supposed to look sometimes tabs are not my best friend.

[heliumexplosion420]

I looove this band and love nikki, the bassist from this band, great job btw.

[dasspeedman]

nicely done! can you send tab?

[ANIKANSKYWALKERG]

this song kills my left thumb when i play it for some reason

[Kikianbassplayer]

awesome can i have tabs for it?

[ShadowBam]

Great cover. I am just learing this on bass too.

[mikeo1942]

Great video, gives me alot of inspiration playing bass.

[mikeo1942]

Great cover....you give me some great inspiration for playing Bass.

[sammyv197]

cool how ur dog barks!! ahaha

[coydcoy]

that was really good i tryed to learn it but i couldnt play it lol i love bass its a great song lol nice job ;)

[nesbittjohn]

Impressive!

[JimmyChiffels]

I'm sad to hear that you have arthritis. But you're an excellent bass player.

[Vandel101]

There is an easier way to play this, just tune down half a step and you won't have to move your whole hand. but sounds good :)

[Shipwrck86]

needa crank up the distortion on this song....itll song amazing

[lexicaljewel]

i keep coming back to watch this video and see if i can get it as smooth as you - not yet but getting better! my bass teacher fell in love with this song. i bet my neighbors are sick of it though haha. you are amazing - love how you kept playing even though you had to shush the dog!

[biowaredude]

Wow!

YOu Got skills!!

Can i have the tabbs? PlllZZ!!

[iLikechevelle]

Nice dog bark. Great cover, but to get the true sound get a fuzz pedal or an octave pedal, really sounds cool with both on.

[WhoDeyCincy9]

wow you did great! nice cover for sure! keep on rockin!

[stupidmf111]

niceeee like how u yelled at ur dog while playing..just learned this song...its so awsome..and to hippie 778 u dnt need to tune down..

[cramunse]

great!!

you're amazing, the best part in the vid is your dog, joking

hahaha

i think is harder in the bass

very good!!

[plunger333]

thats great

[lexicaljewel]

OMG you sound great! You kept playing when you scolded your dog! LOL. Really great - where did you get the tab you are playing? It sounds really good. :D

[xXRevengeIsWarXx]

I'm a girl and Idk if I'd ever be all that great on the bass, but I do plan on learning and I guess this is kind of an inspiration, but I truely love, love, love this song. x] Kudos. :]

-xXRevengeIsWarXx

[emusedone]

Thanks xXRevengels! I'm sure you'll learn quick and will be great on the bass, I say.. go for it! Yes, this song is so cool, mezmermising (however you spell that word)

[hippie778]

You are doing an incredible job! Great cover! Some advice to make it a bit easier, just tune it a half step down. :) Best of luck. :D

[Rasengan2xChidori]

nice job fellow bassist lol i myself just came back from a music camp in san fransico and i learned the bass cover but i can't play it as good as you i've only played for 1 year my real strength is in the saxophone i've been playing that for 5 years lol

[emusedone]

Cool! The saxaphone! I played in HS band, won't say what instrument, I was embarassed cuz my folks made me play it. But I wanted to play sax or the drums instead...whaaa.

[Rasengan2xChidori]

lol i wasn't given the saxophone so easily myself. i had to start on clarinet which i also know how to play and then i just bumped myself up alto saxophone and soprano saxophone

ps: let me guess did you play: flute,baritone,trombone,trumpe­t,percussion? lol

[Saokitu]

I just decided to learn to play this song, but I'm not quite as good as you yet. I have been playing for about a year, so I am alright, but not quite that accurate just yet. You are a good inspiration. I used your video and a tab chart to learn the bass line for this song. Keep up the good work!

[emusedone]

cool!!!! That is how I learned, by watching, tabbing, etc....

[Saokitu]

I just decided to try learning this on Bass. I've only been playing for a year, so I can't hit anything that accurately yet, but you are definitely an inspiration to me! I watched your video for reference while i read the tabs to this song. Great job!

[c1o2r3n4h5o6l7i8o9]

good job!

some advice from me is not to do all that shifting in the beginingjust play one and three on the d string

[emusedone]

Thanks, I'm going to try that, would make it alot easier for sure!

[bloodrush3]

What are the tabs for this?

[sssttttthoy]

you can always do what i do, put a capo on the first fret

[gogglesmcgee67]

awesome job! :D

i want to learn to play guitar myself, but i really havent been able to get an chance to :/

but anyways, youre good :)

[emusedone]

Thanks! Get a chance too! I bet you'll be great!

[stinger92193]

Good job, I love this song and am trying to learn to play it myself. Any idea where I can get tabs for it. I cant seem to find any. I am not used to the fast pace of some songs but as you said in some of your responses its how you learn. Keep rockin. Hope to get some vids of me up here soon.

[EskamoBassist]

I meant left I'm sorry not right hand.

[EskamoBassist]

Now just a question, Does the lopus not allow you to use all you finger muscles? Because on your right hand it was alot of excess movement just with two fingers. Although it was a badass cover non the less, your tone is so much better than mine. Btw ive been following since The River by GC i learned that song first when i copied ur vid after watching it a million times, you're still a cool inspiration.

[emusedone]

Thanks! At first, I could only use one finger on the right plucking hand, now I can use 2. The left hand, frets, etc. is what is really hard for me because I can't spread the fingers out like chords, I have to slide or move real quick to hit notes most people can because they are already there. Its cool you've been playin, keep rocking!

[EskamoBassist]

Which is cool since you could do with 2 fingers what most cant do with 4 so sweet job on this vid.

[PrimitiveSide]

I was gonna send you a request for this song! Eerie... jk. Incredible cover, (as always). You're so friggin' kick ass (excuse my language). It's just I'm always blown away by your talent and how real come off through the music. I know, cheesy, but true. Anyway, just wanted to say what's up to Youtube's SiKest musician. (Sorry for ranting on and on... and on and-- jk).

[PrimitiveSide]

I gotta say it again... INCREDIBLE!!! The more I listen to this, the more I love it! You're a serious inspiration for me, everytime I watch one of your vids, it makes me wanna play, it makes me a better guitarist, and I just want to thank you for that. Seriously, there's so much realness and life in what you do, thanks for sharing it with me and the rest of the world alike. And especially for allowing it to transend into my guitar playing. PeAcE!!!

[emusedone]

Wow, I appreciate you so much PrimitiveSide, for taking the time to even watch a video of me playing bass! Music helps me a lot, & even if I don't play it right, I'm in my own little world, and its good to be there!!! Thank you again!

[PrimitiveSide]

lol No thanks necessary. You're the one sharin' your talent. You're the one who gave me the motivation to keep playing. If anything, I should thank you again. YOU OWN!!! Know that. d-_-b

[xXBASSISTXx1]

ive heard this song on the radio a bunch and the bassline just makes me want to play it more and more every time i hear it lol great job!

[colby2bad4u]

Hey wow great job I want to learn this line so bad but I can't find any video or info on the lines. If you could please message me and share your knowledge.

[emusedone]

This is a really fun song to play. She uses a pick, but I couldn't play it fast enough with the pick.

[sssttttthoy]

give it time, a pick tends to get easier and easier. btw great cover

[emusedone]

Thank you ssstttthoy. I've played with a pick in our band, some of the heavier songs where I had to be fast or crisp sounding. I can play with one, but for some odd reason, I can't play this song w/one. I watch the video on MTV & see how she does it, but I will have to work on it.

[sssttttthoy]

hmmm, im the opposite, i cant pluck this song but i play it fine with a pick. i just use a capo on the first or tune it half step down. it makes it easier for live performances

[colby2bad4u]

Wow this is really good. I just started playing bass and I really want to learn this because it sounds super cool lol. What are the notes..message me...cause I cant find anyone that has like a how to play it video.

[popo0804]

nice cover!!!the bass line is so awesome

[Mastorcheef]

Wow... wish i could play this. You should try Well thought out twinkles also by silversun pickups. its pretty easy for the most part, has a pretty awesome bass solo.

anyways, great job... keep it up

[Mastorcheef]

wow... this is really good. wish i could play it. you should try well thought out twinkles also by the Silversun pickups. its pretty easy on the bass, only song i can actually play by them...

anyways, great job

[yourfavouritetoy]

Great!

[hernandeznathan50]

WOW! You are playing this song with your fingers! NIikki plays with a pick! What a good song!

[emusedone]

Yea, she plays with a pick, I just can't, wish I could!!!!

[znith49]

cool to watch the riff... *****

[Mastorcheef]

you've really inspired me to try this song

i just started playing bass like a month and a half ago... love all your vids

[emusedone]

Thank you! I pick songs I like by bands I like with cool bass lines....sometimes they are simple but fast fast fast like this. But that's how I learn! Good luck and keep playin!!!

[jinukun]
