RHCP - Shallow Be Thy Game [Bass Cover]

[DieselfishX]

I can't stop watching/listening to this video..

[tothemartin]

Not bad! Now try playing Trevor Dunn shit with Mr. Bungle :) whole different level my friend

[Lyndonian19957]

you can barely hear flea in this song on the actual album, dave navarro has to have the loudest instrument. sounds so much better with the bass in the foreground

[LougluGui]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thanks for learning this song and it must awesome to play live !!!!

[mrcasualthrasher]

Fuck yeah!!!! tab pleaaaaaase!!!

[FabryBasketNapoli]

I actually prefer to listen to your covers than the songs played by the band.

[flyamaria]

nice playing bro .......geez it's aweosme

[manuysunuevavida]

eres un maquina!

[LGTKProduction]

WTF MAN YOU ARE AWESOME

[Megatranks16]

Looks that the bass play the boy xDD

[pablofernandezbass]

TAB PLEASE.

[dkasslicker]

you need to do a tutorial/lesson or something for this!!

[Seabearr]

funky kid!

[guitardudwithguitar]

How long have you been playing man ?

[cultofd]

INTRO! HOW DO YOU DO IT OMGG!! :DDD

[BirdyVII]

@cultofd Envelope filter and maybe a bit of delay?

[lllflea98lll]

I like how he went mental at the end

[GamblingRulez]

LOL at the ending!!

[victord319]

were you using an fx25b envelope finter on the intro. if so what were your settings at cause it sounds so tight!

[kieranxRHCP]

this has 10 times as many views as the actual song :)

[panteralover23]

How did you get that sound at the beginning of the song? 

[jagex3000]

@panteralover23 Wah or Auto wah?

[panteralover23]

@jagex3000, yeah, I guess so. I was thinking perhaps a phaser?

[CasparBass]

@panteralover23 Its an envelope filter?

[iloveurmomsbacon]

Marry me?

[mazensultan87]

Sick nasty!! A living legend! You have seriously inspired me to continue to improve everyday!

[Perrol2]

The Flea´s son!!! (-.-),!,,!

[BartekWantToPlayBass]

Damn! love it! I love your covers! :)

[Donian7]

that intro is difficult, great work man. love the improv

[George5551000]

O crap... perfect

[777sroka]

amazing man! respect..

[91fork]

This is really phenomenal stuff you have, I've been putting off my finals for at least half an hour to listen to you play. Absolutely astounding. Also, you have a charming smile at the end... :)

[brasstringed]

This is amazing dude. This was actually the first video that I saw. I was like i need to become as good as that guy.

[thanktrebor7]

Dayum that was WHACK!

[relaxboi]

i've watched this video 100 times.

[Sublime3491]

@relaxboi me too. epic stuff.

[Gabbledor]

Lemme be honest with your bro. I prefer your covers of RHCP songs, over listening to them. They got some boss tunes for sure, but I like your covers cause you do them so well, and they're so well recorded you can hear the backing track perfectly, so it's just like listening to the album but with way bigger emphasis on the bass, and that's just what I gotta love brotha.

[ADROtheKICKASS]

u made mistakes?



[Fmmarca]

shit you're fucking awesome, man

[montypithon]

been playin 10 years saw all this dudes vids and have decided to take my own life.....

[galatasaray5549]

this is your best cover ; ) by far

[joaonao1]

Nice bass factory.

[QuikSock6]

3:06 Woooaaaah ! o.O

[thakaras]

deep kick??? you rock boys!!

[thegorillaz2d]

who would dislike this 14 people ar just mad they cant play like david

[b3u0c6k]

good job! would you pls tell me what equipment you use when recording songs? is the bass just plug directly into the computer or is it recorded in another way? if plug into the computer, what program do you use to edit audio?

[balisticpenguin]

@b3u0c6k I want to know this also!!!

[jackiejhonson]

holy shit

[FortuneFaded415]

daaaaaaamn 

[L0L51]

why 14 dislike WHYYYYYYYY

[MAtteJimi95yeah]

14 people don't understand music so don't understand david..

[smellslikepenguin]

what kind of amp do you use?...you awesome!!!

[Neyodemos]

@smellslikepenguin when he does cover's he usually uses a recording device directly into the computer for this awesome quality sound that you hear =D

[heckawesomefunnydude]

Wow dude you are insane!!!!!

[theveritasx]

idk why people don't like this album flea just rips the whole time love this album

[snowryder1080]

@theveritasx My thoughts exactly. Everyone bashes this album because of Navarro, even though he lays down some great riffs and solos. But really Flea is the focus of this album, and any true chili's fan should love it.

[TheYarzo]

are you muting E with thumb on your left hand?

[btwSavior]

You could rule the world.

[gordonsgoldengoat]

This guy is shit hot on his bass (y). Awsome vid! Keep it up

[FJprophet]

is the fleabass any good? im thinking of getting one =p

[PFGL90]

FUCKING BOSS



[Eggo1997]

what pickups do you have on the bass?

[emaznis]

manage to loose the rhythn at which part? What is he talking about? :P

[VaSpike]

fule gamas



[nickberardi]

Seriously you are amazing as bass! I wouldn't be surprised if you were invited to play with RHCP one day! Good job!

[Mauricinhho1]

hey, nice video man.

very fast techine!

Is that the fleabass Junior size 3/4?

[cinnamonsquares]

David sin rocks is a superhero

[AdriftFor]

Yes ! Ca le fait carrément mec ! T'as changé le micro ou non ? Parce que je vais peut-être me choper une Fleabass Street.

[StankleTooth]

YOU KICK ASS!

[blblg]

Lil drawn chili sign on your wrist

Haha I do that too

This is fabulous! Great job!

[jyankeesrock]

dofhdslfjsadlkf..... sorry i was wiping the jizz of my keyboard :)

[PFDbassist]

flea must have had a kid that he doesn't know about O.o

[20MadeMoiselle]

@PFDbassist LOL, yeah. :p

[santuka18]

I was listening to this song and I think "Oh, shure david made a cover of it" and here it is :)

Love your covers man :)

Cheers!

[wesley59999]

omg i just pooped myself

[parkidi]

Ola, tudo bom!

você poderia fazer um video cover da musica "The Zephyr Song" long version, ainda não encontrei um cover legau dessa musica...

seus videos são otimos, parabens!!!

se não for pedir demais escute essa musica 1406 dos Mamonas Assassinas,

essa musica tocada no baixo é muito massa...

mais uma vez parabéns...

[xBunniesxX]

hey im having trouble which fleabass to buy! I want the silver one or this one any thoughts? Btw ur freaking sick man keep it up ur an amazing player

[TheAmazingScotsman]

@xBunniesxX who cares what colour, they all sound the same lol

[NebukatnAEza]

Wow this fuckin stunned me

[Yo8805]

Si je peux te donner un conseil, écouté la version "Hallowed be thy name" de Iron Maiden, un très bon morceau de basse aussi. Sinon super cover, faudra penser à un concert en France :)

[ViLLy512]

David, can you put the tabs ? I can't find.

[bassfunkable]

I really want to fuck all the dislikes

[b3u0c6k]

respect

[TheDreak1122]

too sick dude! you put flea to shame

[beermoney3000]

@TheDreak1122 dont go that far

[panteralover23]

Flea really should stop copying you...

[01eclectic]

A fully sick fill you did at 2:11 man, that shit was dope

[ITZAGOOSE]

@01eclectic i assume you are black?

[hevmarie]

Upsets me you sleep in that small bed! King of bass should have a beast bed!

[Sballack13]

the final... LOL ! xDD

[Sballack13]

fuckin' brilliant xD

[deptofsfelt]

how to you record your stuff? great sound!

[Orangemongoose1]

All of David's videos should be flagged for sexual content xD

[savage5394]

I think im gonna go cut myself



[Lu97joron4]

I love your bass ! *o* 

[PauloHenriqueoSOAD]

you're a great bass player and I'm just dirt from your nail

[ShutUpTheLotOfYo]

you are the definition of beast

[aspiniou]

Jesus Christ, dude, you fucking rock. :D Niiiiice!

[DisaFreek]

holy sheep shit thats bad ass.

[Mookmod]

Is it better to have your thumb mounted on the pickup or on the fretboard when fingering?

[KyleUnwin]

@Mookmod like, the fretboard as in the neck?

[Mookmod]

@KyleUnwin Yeah, they're essentially the same thing

[KyleUnwin]

@Mookmod it's just an odd place to put your thumb, i'd suggest the pickup i've been playing 4 years and just always naturally played with my thumb on the pick up the strings are much more tense there on the neck they're not quite as tense but whatever you find most comfortable to play with really is best

[sacredgeometry]

@Mookmod depends, they have different sounds

[Mallpaperplane]

@hencjs123 no he is not he is brilliant but look at fleas improvisation technique and then, he comes up with these basslines!

[dennyy95]

@Mallpaperplane I still like it though :P

[hensjc123]

dare i say it... you're better than flea!

[gordeteh]

12 people thought the thumb down was the download button

[TRHElliot]

@gordeteh you're retarded...

[gordeteh]

@TRHElliot It was just a joke you f****** prick

[Greenie0202]

Hes not playing!!! Hes having sex with guitar!!! :DD dude ur fucking better then Flea

[baldbassclef]

so how do you like the flea bass?

[20MadeMoiselle]

I actually like this more than the original. Never thought that would be possible. xD

[AstroAnt]

If you tab this I'll give you a slice of my pizza.. just saying

[SaintInsanity02]

dude, holy fuck, this video man, amazing.

[78coupdegrace]

David must not like RHCP

[AstroAnt]

Deeestroyed thank-you this will help me considerably do you learn these by ear? or whats the go there?

[elbruno28]

FLEABASS HELL YEAH!

[SoBabbelassed]

[juplumcake]

:O

[jesuscortez100]

holy crap man once again you blow my mind you are the beast bass player on you tube XD

[sl933]

[NaceWill]

the best bass player on youtube ? Yes, I think.

Le meilleur bassiste sur youtube ? Oui, je pense.

[kentin89200]

@NaceWill

C'est le meilleur :D

[WildGrooveMaker69]

it aint stock pickup,is it ?

[johnjoeba]

@WildGrooveMaker69 yh their stock pick ups he said on his review video and you proboly wouldent wanna change the pickups anyway

[Sublime3491]

@johnjoeba I'm pretty sure they aren't the stock pickups, you can see the little EMG logo on the bottom left of the pickup.

[WildGrooveMaker69]

woooot ,so what he uses here ?o; it sounds way better than my fleabass.damn...

and btw i'm changing to the EMG ones anyway

[nathanarsenalthomas5]

0:24. HOLY SHIT!!

[sonic11boom]

Wow before today I hated green basses.

[Fucho]

I love the tone you got

[kieranxRHCP]

wow.. just wow

[elbeast999]

might i ask what kind of camera/mic u are using for this cover?

[hanness123]

12 leute haben kein geschmack

[OnionLetsPlay]

lol after 0:17 i thought you´ll play Coffee Shop. oO

And if you thought you´ve seen everything funky on youtube, comes david in and kicks a new cover in your face, and i love it :DDD

[enahcs]

[kasiakas95]

[thebassistvictor]

2:09 - 2:13 ...GOD!!

[broomeydbr9]

@thebassistvictor 0:00 - 4:36 ...GOD!!

[thebassistvictor]

@broomeydbr9 I wanted to say that solo he plays...OF COURSE all the song is awesome!!! =D =D

[bubbaramrod]

YEAHHHH! Man you absolutely blow my mind. I have been watching a ton of your videos over the past weeks. You are dynamite-technical, you obviously feel the funk, and area all around just a pleasure to watch.

I call myself a RHCP fan (what bass player isn't), but some of the older tracks you cover I haven't even heard! THANK YOU for opening my mind a little more.

I get a huge smile on my face at the end of this every time, hahaha. Keep on funkin.

[bakayurei]

amazing.. who the hell needs to worry about owning the world's gayest instrument with talent like that.. very well done

[nyclaybreaker]

@bakayurei

hey...thats a flea bass....calm down

[mikeyramone1234]

if flea ever quits rhcp here is his replacement.

[simonciaccio]

[KoelleMusic]

4:33 - 4:36 -> just AMAZING!!!

jk, that's so damn cool, david, it's wonderful :D

mais je suis desolé que je suis pas venu au concert à Thônex, mais j'ai pas trouvé la Barakason?!? J'ai pris la tram, mais j'avais aucune idée ou je peux le trouver... :( (the real reason is: i was drunk!) desolé... Sebastian

[05ALMA20]

I'm jealous of your tattoo :3 lol that's exactly what I want to get hahahah

[spotofblack]

what you do at the end.. I DO FUCKING SO MUCH

[XxSlipknotMaggot66xX]

I don't about the song never really listened to RHCP but I enjoy your bass playing so I watch it everytime im about to play.

[echtervorarlberger]

[bluewater642]

[Laras94]

[ferriterc]

[accado]
