viridian bass solo

[Cousi7]

Dude, its called "turn your fucking amp down so ppl can hear it."

[colleeto5]

thats how to play bass like jesus

[lewisca5]

5 star yo! you did a good job on this, i did this cover too on a 4 string it plays just a little different but sounds the same.Then i uploaded it as a cover.

[dankproducer]

that shit is BEAUTIFUL

[jackamomo630]

can't wait to get my 5 string, i'm getting the Spector NS2000/5 though, not ibanez

[RojoGatto]

yea i have a four string once i heard of dan briggs i was like, SHIT! 5 strings sound so much better

[jackamomo630]

hahaha yeah seriously inspiration right there

[pbgeegee]

is your bass an ibenez sr???if so there AMAZING

[clp032]

yea thats the ibanez sr505 which i should of got instead i got the sr500 which is only a 4 string

[rusvanis]

got the sr500 as well

[BerttheTurtle]

The two notes at 1:25 and 1:27 Dan plays as harmonics. The note at 1:29 is a low C# (octave below the C# you played). That is nit-picking, but excellent job! :)

[P5ych00]

k at like 1:09 you missed the best part, he plucks the open string at the top to give it that warmth

[spencerlol]

yeah thatt part is key

[nanthil]

good job. keep it up!

[thatsokimstillfly]

i think he's in drop c but on a high b bass not a low b

so dan brigs tunes G# C# F# B E

where as thrasherX89 has tuned to the lead and rythym guitar which would be C# F# B E G#

i can see why, because the G# string isn't used in this song, so it'd make it easier to play i'm guessing,

is that right or am i miles off?

[talk2pineapple]

all i'd have to say is right at 1:14-ish Dan hits the low C#, and that note makes me smile :]

don't make me cry! hahah nice job though

[TexasTemari]

Nice job dude!

I'm hoping to learn bass and Dan Briggs is definitely one of my inspirations.

[fou2nvover]

looks like an ibanez sr505. how do you like the bartolini's?

[fsA7X4uz]

whoa

[ChairmanYin]

lol thats so fuckn cool

[Kileon]

i saw you don't do tabs, but can u tell me what tuning ur in so i can just like watch ur fingers? haha

[Kileon]

can u please tab this out? yea a few parts are wrong, i won't lie, but it's a lot better than the current tab i'm looking at

[blackmage16x2]

WRONG!

[headvice7]

Nice job, but some mistakes still there...

[tbrown8890]

Great jib. Tiny bit off in a few parts, but otherwise, its awesome. 1:07 FTW! So much emotion in that bend.

[thrasherX89]

yeah i know, this was my by ear transcribing, i didnt have as good a ear back in the day

[tbrown8890]

By ear too?!?! Well that certainly makes up for it.

[thrasherX89]

yeah, i made this video before the album came out so i did it all by ear

[tbrown8890]

Awesome dude. I'm gonna learn this on guitar and try to get my friend who plays bass to learn this solo so we can play together.

[iamastupidperson]

Great job, and I'm guessing u did this by ear?... I wan to learn this and was hoping u would have some tabs or something to help thanks

[thrasherX89]

no tabs sorry

[Darkviramis]

Very nice !

Good Job !

[thrasherX89]

thanks

[fenderbass1991]

Great job. BTBAM is godly.

[thrasherX89]

hell yeah

[AwesomeTurn]

Great job!

[thrasherX89]

thanks

[HellhammerMario]

1:07 - 1:22 is always my favortie part; good job dude!

[thrasherX89]

hahaha eeeeeyeahhhh

[Selkies99]

Haha, very impressive ^_^ Amazing bass solo by Between the Buried and Me and In my opinion you did them justice, great job man.  Couple parts that might've kept you from 5 stars but I'm sure by now you have it all worked out. Awesome job!

[thrasherX89]

yeah i realize this video isnt perfect, glad your not hating, and i have worked on it and improved it to almost perfect just no video update yet

[RushRocks77]

ITS DAN BRIGSS IN DISGUISE lol jk but awesome playing there

[thrasherX89]

hahaha thats pretty funny thanks for the support

[etiennetardif]

Good solo man! I love it!

[thrasherX89]

thanks for the support

[soyelmore]

is it a peavey grind bass?

=o

[thrasherX89]

hahah no its a ibanez sr 505

[irham1010]

heyhey! sounding good man:) can you make a tab of this video please? thx, great job:)

[29573428937]

might want to tune your bass

got the few mistakes here and there

but you did a fairly good job

i know how hard this song is

and i cant even play half of it

so yeah

try increasing your speed on some parts

and fuck you cliffgregoletto

[thrasherX89]

yeah their is some shit wrong with it

[loserlife11]

i just started playing bass and i hope to get to your level sometime. . .

yeah, hope that just made your day

[thrasherX89]

lol thanks i appreciate this, their has been a lot of hating lately its weird

[loserlife11]

I don't get it, how can people complain. I think it's the people who can't play that complain. their just jealous. I mean i'm jealous, but it's a good jealously

[thrasherX89]

lol well usually the ones that talk shit done have anything to back themselves up with so i get really pissed that they even opend their mouth in typing internet form

[loserlife11]

lol typing internet form

[soulskater22]

great job bro. you have good hands. screw everyone that says they are better. there is always someone better. if you say youre better than this guy, guess what? im probably fuckin better than you. and guess what? there is people better than me. and people better than THEM. so shut the fuck up. hes playing the song. not saying, "im the best look at me."

[thrasherX89]

exactly

[MoogleFroog]

well done

[brandonprice1234]

really good.

[thrasherX89]

thanks

[jackthebassist59]

Ok,if you sent me the tabs for this you would be my frind forever ... It would be like the best thing anyone has ever done for me. :) I know how long it would take but, it would be the best thing in the world ..Its so peaceful

[thrasherX89]

their is a good version on ultimate - guitar dot com that is very good

[P13666]

great job man. especially because you ear transcribed it. im trying to learn it on a 6string from a guitar pro. it aint working out to well though. lol

[austira123]

pretty good some parts are sketchy

[cliffgregoletto]

Wow, this is really off, no offense but mistakes everywhere, octaves are off, Are you a beginner?

[thrasherX89]

im awair its off

[cliffgregoletto]

Then why post it?

[thrasherX89]

because i wanted too why listen to it if you dont like it

[cliffgregoletto]

Cuz, Im a bass player, and im trying to tell you not to post a video that has bad bass playing, Maybe you should quit

[YouHaveProblems]

hahahah stfu dude i think it sounds really good...im a beginner to bass though so i think excellent job man

[thrasherX89]

yeah, well your a bass player, who has nothing to goo off of because i dont know of you, you have no videos to prove your worth to me so your worth nothing, your imput, your existance means nothing to me

[cliffgregoletto]

Did i say i wanted you to acknowledge me as a human?..No, I don't like to rank myself as a musician but yes, i am better then you, i have my degree in music technique, i've been teaching music at Vanier College for 13 years now...I think i know a lil'

[Rev0lverPH]

well now i know what college not to go to. asshole. its not the easiest bass song to play, and he did it great with a couple mistakes here and there. i know some people without music degrees that could kick your ass in a contest. just because you have a music degree doesn't make you automatically the master of guitar/bass playing.

[cliffgregoletto]

I am not a master at bass, Neither are you, and neither is this joke. I'm just saying you shouldn't post a video if it's not good? Calm down, its just Youtube

[connormcmeanman]

out of all the shit videos on youtube you choose to attack this one? funny you say you have a degree in music too, with that much time in music comes a maturity in which you stop comparing yourself to all the other bassists you meet, a very "beginner" bass thing to say. it's also funny that you got a degree in technique and not composition, technique is a worthless degree.

[cliffgregoletto]

I TEACH tenchnique, i have my degree in composition, appreciation, and all the other major needs!...Fuck man, calm down, I have a good ear so i hear ALL the wrong octaves and transitions, its horrible! Technique is a worthless degree, HA, only if you knew.

[connormcmeanman]

is it really important enough to bother this person who by the way is completely modest about the video in the first place?

[cliffgregoletto]

I guess not.

Chill bro

Chill.

[wesania18]

fuckin a guy. honestly im still in high school and i've gone through 3.5 years of technique. its all bullshit. music isnt something you can teach, music is something that comes from within. he did not play one note in this song that was a complete octave off, maybe a halfstep or two, but octaves dont mean shit. if you wanna be arogant, go brag to your students wasting their money on technique at a mediocre college.

[wesania18]

that message was for cliff bitch

good job tho thrasher, sounding good man

[thrasherX89]

thank you, yeah really though, i think technique is important but people dont have to be arrogant

[wesania18]

yeah, it is good to understand it, and it can definitely make you a better player, but you don't need the technique so much if you are playing someone elses music. how long have you been playing dude?

[thrasherX89]

i started feb of 05

[cliffgregoletto]

Yo bro.

You didn't need to get into this!

Im sure this guy is a good enough bassist, he just probably learned it quick and was excited and had to record it.

My point is to perfect it before you post it.

And yes, there was plenty of off-step octaves, on the third minor especially.

I teach at Vanier College in Mtl.

Not mediocre!

[elwoodblatch]

agreed

[wesania18]

elwoodblatch, were you agreeing with me or him lol

[stropheum]

i agree. technique should come almost 100% naturally. it's good to have classes in it i guess. but general performance and composition are the real majors

[soulskater22]

shut the fuck up faggot. you suck. you wasted your time in college cuz you didnt learn shit.

[soyelmore]

fuck men!!

someone got it before me!

fuck

ahahhahaah

you are awesome men

you gotta tell us where did you get those tabs

=D

hahaha

[thrasherX89]

i did this by ear

[whenallelsefa1ls]

tab?? pleasssseeeee?? i'll blow you for it!!!

[thrasherX89]

i did it by ear sorry they tabs on ultimate are pretty accurate

[whenallelsefa1ls]

yeah i know, but i was asking you to actually tab it out. cause you obviouslyhavent yet. please tab it for everyone?

[thrasherX89]

if i have time i will do some tabing

[sk8bassfillet]

yeah dude this one's way better than the first. major props.

[thrasherX89]

thanks its still really wrong but i fixed them

[HDSERIALKILLER]

You're fucking sick doode. Keep the vids coming.

So what's the tuning here? Also is it much harder doing this with a pick?

[thrasherX89]

i cant pick at all so for me yes, its just all how you use it

and i use a weird bass tuning

C#,F#,B,E,A i believe it is

[moonroach6207]

thats not weird... you just take a 5 string bass and tune it a whole step up. thats exactly what BTBAM does. its ingenious. the A on top opens up an entirely new register for bass.

[btbam71]

Uhhh... Dan tunes his bass (high to low) E, B, F#, C#, G#...

Either you just got your words mixed up or you just don't know what Dan tunes to lol

[thrasherX89]

yeah this dude is right, i tune differently though, i use low to high C#, F#, B, E, A

using a set of 6 string bass strings without the low B

[pjon7890]

it's good, better than the first take, and the artificial harmonic is nice... you just need to work on those scales a little...

[chunkylardball69]

nicely done, you fucked up around 49 seconds though

[thrasherX89]

yeah i know, i fucked up a few parts in their

[steeaz]

Sick dude, not enough people appreciate Dan, he's a fucking God. I just started playing bass after 4 years of guitar (to get me some fret ability) and I've now learned the song from your vid.

[swellsk8]

dude, mistakes or no mistakes, your fucking great at bass

[thrasherX89]

haha thank you

[Unh0ly13]

some minor mistakes but still better than i can do it good job

[legendguitar]

They have

[Ranxston]

I just keep dreaming at night that some day, Dan will release a Colors tab book.

[thrasherX89]

hahahaha i wont need it, the bass is so strong in colors that i could do it by ear with enough time, this was my first created tab and i was rushing it im getting better

[btbam71]

I'm guessing you tune your bass (from high to low) A, E, B, F#, C#

why do you tune it so high? dan uses that low G# a lot, and his basses have 24 frets like yours

[DyersEve0]

true sweeps are easy once you get them, but isnt every?

[thrasherX89]

yeah pretty much but some of the add chord tone sweeps can be hard

[fourstringpunk]

i posted a tab of this on UG but spelt it wrong :(

Search for Virdian on UG. I tabbed it :D

[MyNameIsErr]

dude what the fuck

no one was trying to cover btbam,

now that colors came out.

EVERYONE IS COVERING BECAUSE OF THE TABS BOOK THEY SELL AT THE SHOWS.

haha

oh well.

that was pretty good dude, nice.

[thrasherX89]

lol well i learned this song by ear before colors came out

and im about the only person who covers any btbam song on bass

[xXMurderWorshipXx]

Damn, this was very nicely done. Most people can't play a 5 string for shit, but you're more than good enough to play one right.

[thrasherX89]

haha thank you

yeah they are difficult because unlike a 4 string you have to have a floating anchor to hit the strings correctly and mute the other strings

i wasnt doing that in this video but i know how to do it now

[MyNameIsErr]

ahh i get it.

yeah i haven't seen other bassists on youtube that can even do any btbam stuff.

ill probably have selkies upsoon on guitar

but i can't do the fucking solo of course.

because paul is a genius and im not.

hahaha.

but yeah dude ill check out the other stuff.

[thrasherX89]

hahaha i can play the selkies solo no prob.

[thrasherX89]

of course minus the sweeping, i can sweep but it just dosnt sound the same on a bass

[MyNameIsErr]

damn, haha sweeps are hard.

but i hear once you get used to them you don't know how you couldn't have done it before.

haha.

[thrasherX89]

haha yes its exactly like that sweeps are so easy once you learn how to do them

[JohnStark]

Nice one man, Dan Briggs is so unknown considering his amazing skills. You've done him justice, i've devided to learn this now!

[thrasherX89]

yeah when i learned this song, the album had not come out yet i stoll it off the internet because i couldnt wait to get started on it, when it came out later i bought two coppies but some of it is wrong, later i had corrected it threw my ear and some tabs later on

dan is amazing, his lines are unique and hes insanely clean

[JohnStark]

agreed man,he's fantastic. if i had a cam i'd upload some stuff, but i don't haha, keep up the good work!

[thrasherX89]

thanks, i have a lot of other covers of btbam stuff, i mean their all old and ive practiced them more so they are a bit sloppy but you can check them out if you like too

im about the only person who covers btbam on bass on youtube

[landlord21]

Yeah but i tabbed them on lead guitar not bass.. =(

[thrasherX89]

did you post them anywhere?????

[landlord21]

Dude that is sick man, i know how hard it is to learn btbam songs by ear... ive been trying to learn them by ear and so far im at ants of the sky.. great job =)

[thrasherX89]

dayum you mean you learned the ones before it shit haha thats impressive

yeah i know this video is off i knwo how to play it a little better now

im done with most of white walls but i cheated lol i have to do the clean by ear

[bellarz]

that's an ibanez sr505 right, i'v got that bass too it's siq

[joelhaslam]

that is SO close. couple of bum notes and sloppy fingering, but a really good effort!sweet tone too

[thrasherX89]

yeah i know its wrong but i know how to play it now i dont have a camera now though to put it up

i got a better tone now that was a crate bt 100 now i have an ampeg svt 4 pro

[emericashoes]

the middle doesnt sound right

[thrasherX89]

its because it isnt, i bullshited the fast parts because i want to impatient to get it down but i know how to play it now i might updated it soon

[Alex156]

I didn't heard about btbam but that's a beautiful solo ! :) Very nice playing ...

[thrasherX89]

thank u, i play it wrong but i know how to play it now

[breebreeorghorgh]

damn thats sick, you got like a guitar pro tab for it or anything?

[thrasherX89]

nope, i have a tab for it thats rough, i keep changing it around, the faster parts are incorrect and im to lazy to correct them fully

im going to post them on ultimate-guitar like a week after their album lets out

[funkbeastbasslover]

great job man, i wish everyone didnt play 5 strings tho lol its like im forced to if i want to cover all my favorites. again good job man

[thrasherX89]

thank u very much im working on getting it better

actually my bass is more like a 4 string than u think

its in c# standard btbam tuning but it has an extra high string not a low string for shredding

[funkbeastbasslover]

fuckin a dude, imma try to learn some of the stuff u got now ha, i fuckin love btbam

[thrasherX89]

hahaha i do to, yeah dude its not that hard it took me forever by ear though and some of its wrong i kno that

dude i have a shitlaod of btbam on my page check it most of its neww

[kyleycoyote1]

i love it, album isn't out for another week and theres already so many people stealing it, that the songs are being broken down already. pretty good job though, you missed a few parts but still very good

[thrasherX89]

yep, ive changed it a few times since i recorded this im might rerecord it again, i know i feel bad for stealing so im buying two albums haha

[FreedumFries591]

You gotta love Dan and his magical bass!

I also love how these guys dress normal and focus on playing real, good music

As for Colors, I'm gonna try to buy it at the show (and have it signed of course)

I can't wait to listen to that album without pauses and read the lyrics

[FreedumFries591]

No problem

keep up the good work!

I'm about to go see them at the cd release show with HORSE the band in Greensboro

It's going to be amazing

By the way, Colors in my opinion is by far the best album I've ever heard

[thrasherX89]

yeah its tite, i cant wait till its out so i can buy it

dan briggs is so ridiculously amazing it makes me want to quit hahaha

[FreedumFries591]

This is great man!

I bet you'll have it perfect in no time!

[thrasherX89]

thank u, every time i place btbam stuff up i expect shit so its nice to see that it isnt

yeah ive gotten way better at it, im getting another friend of mine to go over the tabs that i have and modify them

thx for the support
