i think when you share some of your gifts like this you need to show the whole background so the one who is watching will easily follow what you have learned.. btw im one of those guitarist who likes the way you play,,
great job tallented bass but player but on the instrumental either the video messed up on me or you were a little off timing. but still great playing man. very few can do the actual bass solo at that speed.
im not bass_levite but the way i learned is taking it slow...play it at 2 tempos slower...then once you get that down...move up to 1 tempo then once you master that the hardest part is moving to the regular tempo and from there you just practice your butt off...and in a short amount of time actually your fingers get used to it and you start gaining muscle memory and youll be able to move as fast as Tenni from hillsong! well...thats the way i did it
I would video myself covering this on drums..but i don't know it.

Hey, you might want to tilt your plucking hand to your left a little. That'll make it easier for your plucking fingers to hit the strings more evenly. Also, try not to bend your fretting hand finger joints (the top joint) inward, always keep them slighty curved. And don't rake. Practice alternating STRICTLY, and start slow.
awesome fingerwork man!! you're definitely blessed! it's such a hard thing to do! this is coming from a guitarist who uses a pick to play?? haha...God bless.
does he really use 3 fingers? its doesnt sound to good with 3 fingers.. i just use my index n middle.. its easier.. all i do is play the fast songs of united we stands album to warm me up n im good =] i used to suck soo much at this song.. n im still young..
hmmm... i played the same solo for my church tour and im 14 playing for 1 year, its tough.... the instrumental part. but how do u strum so fast without barely using ur index finger?
hey please help! what fingers do you have to use to pick the strings in order to play this song smoothly? is it just index and middle finger?or something else? help please, to all the great bassists out there. hey kenny, you're great. thanx
Bass playing isn't boring... the bass and the drums form the foundation for the other instruments. You'll find that it won't get so boring anymore if you start to play it like it's an extension of your body (inject emotion into it!).
to youtobio: LOL!... that's one of the randomess and funniest comments ever!
omg...when i first started playing the bass, i started to think it was boring, but this clip inspired me, but then...i found out that strumming was part of the bass too! should i learn the acoustic and then continue on the bass? o.O

Next time, make yourself just playing without the actual song playing in the background, cause its kind of hard of seeing which one is playing or not. But your real good, you know what your playing.

Hillsong United is the Youth movement birthed in Australia by Joel Houston and Marty Sampson (some UK members are in the United band)
Hillsong UK is self explanitory
Hillsong is just in Australia although there are 3 churches worldwide.
Most of your notes are right man, but the time is way up, might wanna slow it down a little and get the timing nice and tight. Keep it up

I find it difficult to learn two instruments at one time, so just go for the one you're most interested in.
kennygohweizhi 4 years ago
@buffaiochicken i'd stick with the Bass and trying to find some Bass music to start you off. I started off with Muse then went off to different bands. Hillsong being one of them. For bass there is Strumming (but imo it sounds kinda dirty depending on the effect and the song), then there is picking, slapping, and the finger :P I'm more of a finger person, but when you get arm cramps picking helps. It really does help to learn the guitar chords. More awesome bass solos that way.

For the intro part of this song, the 3rd finger is used to pick the B note 1 octave higher than the ones the 1st and 2nd fingers are playing.
BaSSLeViTE 5 years ago
Two fingers. The index finger can't help but move with the middle on faster stuff like that.
