Steve Vai Crossroads Intro Solo on 5-string Bass

[LigaraProg]

love it lol

[jameshopper8311]

That bass is not a cat!

[Gui147258]

Daddy: Where are you going my son ?

Me: I'm going to kill 5 stupid bastards ! (Y)

[Dutzman]

wow, well done



[neglectedMushrooms]

5 people take it up the ass

[SophomoricHumor]

what's this called? i've looked up crossroads intro solo and found nothing. i want to play this on piano.

[theScytheofGod]

Pretty fucking good, man.

[guitarmaniac93]

thats not bass! thats a wrong try to play guitar song in bass!! play some real groove man!

[doug604]

@guitarmaniac93 don't be ignorant. bassists are allowed to play something other than just groove if they want.

[sadismminds]

u made my day ! : )



[gypsyjohnac]

8 months ago 4 This is pretty difficult on guitar, let alone a 5 string bass.Bass has the thinker strings which I think would make it harder.

wowww

[durt567]

Nice! :D

[MrNappy1221]

My strings are too heavy for that fast of play.

[bitolskaserenada]

Absolutely fantastic :))))

[libbabuf]

WOAH!!! I'm Amazed!!! This is the &%#&!!!

[jimmyleppard6]

and of course again japanese/chinese/korean player...is there anything that you can't do?

[quadratic75]

Very cool. Did you ever get around to putting up the transcriptions for this? I, like many others I am sure, would like to practice playing that.

[UhMysteryGuest]

im trying to learn this by ear. When I tabbed this out and tried to play this, I thought whoa you're really good.

[dragonninjafighter]

THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!

[RexVonDemon]

Very cool!

[llS2639ll]

it sucks tht its so hard to find a decent lefty 5 string :/

[thehangingmist]

a transcription would be great!

[thehangingmist]

a transcription would be great!

[thehangingmist]

a transcription would be awesome! great playing, it takes chops to get it clean!

[blackhawkwyy]

very emotional !!! you got it man! its not all about play the notes out, its about express your emotions. awsome cover.

[mtblima]

shit

[ovERloRD2407]

awesome cover man. is it possible on a 4 string bass, im dying to give it a go :p

[mayanime]

@ovERloRD2407 Yeah, it's definitely doable and prolly will give your chops a good workout since the arpeggios will be stretching from the 5th fret of your E string all the way up to the 21st of the G and beyond (24th fret or hitting harmonics). Take it slow and make sure the notes are legato. I practice this all the time.

I'll put up transcriptions up on my site as soon as I get some free time. It's not that time consuming really, I've just spent time on other stuff :)

Ty for the comments.

[kairisbrother]

even though its supposed to be done on guitar,it was pretty epic. better bass player than me....ill stick to guitar

[noeltessarolo]

nao faz o que nao sabe e lento e esta errando notas fora que come umas notas tb

[HotNadav]

Sucks In Bass

[courtland3cdc]

sounds like somthing you would hear in dillards or jc penny

[LucasFerreiraRhoads]

wooooooooowww

você é bom demais ,cara!!!!!!!!

[bassswings]

i saw all youre videos and i think you re very good bass player ; you accumulated too much technics , know it s time to play musi , YOUR MUSIC , this is the goal ;

[clarinet343]

Perfectly played! u just got me to sub u ;)

[chinkynuts32]

its always the asians that kick ass on guitars on youtube. definitely noticed a pattern

[winebrew]

This is pretty difficult on guitar, let alone a 5 string bass.Bass has the thinker strings which I think would make it harder.

Good Job. don't pay attention to those people that say it's sloppy n shit.

[cirettone80]

complimenti

[donstepp]

I think I like it better on the bass!!!

[thames21]

To be hounest i found it a little sloppy, the timing between both your hands isn't right at some times.

[redstripe41j]

I would LOVE to see you even try to do this on a guitar hero controller much less a fuckin' bass...

[admit1person]

@thames21

Can you play it any better? If so, I would really like to see.

[AshFromCan]

thats crazy. sweeping down fingerpicking looks so hard!

[jcjarabe]

hermoso bajo

[Lemmy008]

it´s used by steve vai in the movie but nicolo paganini made it and called it "caprice no. 24". excuse this if i´m wrong or it´s said allready in earlier comments. :D

[GauchoLibre]

paganini was a hell of a man.

[reedo35]

Excellent technique! Very clear and smooth transitions. My only critique is that dynamics could be better, otherwise, great Job!

[AveryGuitarManSmith]

takes a hell of a pro to do it on bass, with his fingers too

[Joe1988777]

keep playing dude you rock

[SotR59]

cool

[camaflashstudio]

do you know the ending you can hit the highest note by pushing the string down on the pick up like a fret its what i do

[giuseppe114]

nice

[gorethem]

Great job dude

[HailMetalHailPunk]

You got any tabs?

And what bass is that one?

[AdmiralBlu]

cool man, never seen that on bass before. Nice work!

[Brennan29]

Very Cool! That that a thunderbass or a bolt? I actually like the bolts more. more punch! I think anyway. Good job.

[mayanime]

Yep, it's a thunderbolt :) Looking into purchasing a thunderbass as well, It's a beautiful instrument.

[omarCIDBYRD]

exelente cancion eres buenisimo hombre PODRIAS PASARME LA PARTITURA DE TU ARREGLO

[d3vi1ishly13]

haha nice one mate, unusual but great/

[XxXZEEKERXxX]

nice bass

[TJammes]

Begun wrong.. Man.. thats awful, try again

[TJammes]

O fuck.. now i looked again.. Its a bass.. never read.. therefore.. u are awesome!

[ekikoo]

just curious: What does the instrument have to do with anything if the notes are correct?

[TJammes]

Well.. nothing! But.. we cant discard that it was made for a guitar! Why dont you make you own bass solo! You are still good! see ya

[hldemi]

You have to read to figure out that he is playing bass not guitar ?? WTF man ???

[markthehammer]

3 words

[ashstrat07]

BORING!!!

[Eiki7]

[MadSteve87]

[NYyankee02]

[turntapzap]

Can you teach me that?

[stuwart182]

great dude.. you got it

[deepfriedpankakes]

Do you have the music for this i would love to learn it!

[BassGK]

I play that one too, but by sweep picking technique.

Your playing is really great, and your bass looks and sounds real cool!

[pipofighter]

Pretty Good performance.

You should be proud of yourself

Great job

[camcamiopdp]

too bad you look like a twat

[aenima133]

damnthis would sound pretty cool too with some heavy distortion

[majurbludd]

who you think you are billy sheehan?

[iritanaako]

ohh.. someone is a hater.. ENVY.. tsk tsk tsk.. one of the 7 deadly sins man..

[airsoftmaster4]

Billy Sheehan my favourite! =D

[Marlowann]

Great playing, man!

[mayanime]

Nope, it's a Pedulla (not sure which model though - if you want I can find out from him).

[fleajr1412]

It's a Thunderbass by the looks of it. How much did you pay for it?

[WickedMan274]

That isn't a brownsville is it

[Bass734]

your very good

[ParsnipSparrow]

faT.

pointless but great

[bflemin093]
