[TheHighscouter]

is this played on a 4 string?

[silvermario00]

@TheHighscouter Yes

[Peuaz]

@TheHighscouter yes

[asdf852asdf]

les looks like jonh dolmayan from soad

[jomarthegreat1]

i MUST learn how to slap properly now. it's my destiny in life as a bassist to learn this song... this, or almost anything by Jonas Hellborg

[TruthSeekinOne]

there is a live version of this from his 5 gallons of diesel dvd thats pretty sick too

[RakatsukiTV]

thumbs up if you are now currently learning how to play this after you heard it.. :D

[MagicHetero]

@RakatsukiTV i heard it live 5 days ago hhe

[RakatsukiTV]

@MagicHetero cool :D

[sansui901]

@RakatsukiTV That's +1 from monkcapo <3, im still stuck with 1:28's line tho :(

[RakatsukiTV]

@sansui901 ur gonna get it i know ! .. :D

[Silvamedalist]

@RakatsukiTV Les is so godlike it is difficult, hopefully the harmonics in the song aren't part of the bass line then you would have to be an alien to play it

[nhmss]

@Silvamedalist the harmonics are definitely bass harmonics, but the timing on them isnt super tight. keep practicing and you'll get it.

[sardhikhaansi]

@RakatsukiTV And getting semi raped.

[RakatsukiTV]

@RakatsukiTV tried .. gave up,,,,, got confused at 0:022 hahahahahhahaha

[fraghunter67]

@RakatsukiTV

I've made a cover years ago where you can see how it's played. Enjoy Practicing! it's a great song!

[MYKEGREGORY]

is it true that this song is a cover from a band that performed this with 2 bassists?

[21stCSchizoidName]

@MYKEGREGORY

Yes

[MYKEGREGORY]

@21stCSchizoidName ..wow. les claypool is the epic win.

[jakeisonthejaker]

@MYKEGREGORY Yeah, it's originally by the Reddings. I prefer this version, though.

[WonderBOnTheOne]

@jakeisonthejaker I have to disagree! Les's version is good but Dexter Redding WROTE and played (wonderfully) the original. Writing such a monster of a song should have allowed him to reach cult status instantly, yet most people don't even know that Les did NOT compose this... On The Reddings second LP there's another great song in the same vein (although not as brilliant)

[jwes421]

Claypool is the greatest musician I've ever seen play. Primus, the frog brigade, holy mackeral. They are all such magnificent jams, and every musician he plays with just clicks so completely perfect and they truly complement they're bastard children songs.

[jwes421]

I am Like #69. I suck!

[Elric1972]

I swear listening to Les Claypool play is hypnotic

[m1k3vroom]

not 1 person has the balls to click dislike on this. I LOVE IT! thumbs up

[PuffSmelly]

the primus sucks thing is kinda old

[AwsomeDMan]

@PuffSmelly Primus even asked everyone to stop sayin it

[titsbergfeelers118]

the begining isnt that hard but after about a minute........ good luck

[toxicfire83]

how good am i if i can play this just wondering. btw its as fun as it sounds

[diseasedvirus]

@toxicfire83 it's not claypool's hardest stuff - but i'd say you gotta be pretty damn good to match it exactly note for note

[toxicfire83]

@diseasedvirus what is his hardest material?

[nyge23]

@toxicfire83 tommy the cat stands out for me as the one which took the longest to learn but that may be because i had only just got my 6 string at that point. Nothin' ventured off his solo album also too a day or 2 as it was a different movement for my wirst. other than that he has a few fairly simple tapping songs such as jerry was a race car driver, DMV etc. i think some people find songs hard that others find easier and vica versa, just depends on your playing style and experience

[Generalbas1972]

@diseasedvirus this is a cover of the 1980 bass solo "The Awakening" by Reddings.

[elvishlyproductions]

primus sucks

[Happo123]

@elvishlyproductions why? i think they do mm

[therealbrains]

hmmm. drei punkte wenn einem nichts einfällt. verstehe ich gut. bei diesem beschissenen sound fällt mir auch nichts mehr ein

[therealbrains]

dieser stricher kann gar nichts. who the fuck is les asspool???

[slatan420]

@therealbrains

...

[Whitemofoproductions]

@therealbrains he is the best bassist to walk the face of the earth and we are all not worthy to be on the same planet as him because Les = God

[UltimatikArts]

@therealbrains

und dieses gar nichts klingt so verdammt geil, ich würd ja wetten dass bekommst DU in 1000 jahren nicht hin

[MrVigel]

awsome

[AlexBurtonFilms]
