Why should bassists use only their finger and thumb for playing? A pick gets a very rock n roll sound out of the bass, which is incidentally what GnR bassist Duff McKagan does, and its regarded as a crucial part of the GnR sound. I think that as long as you know how to use both a pick and your fingers, it doesnt matter what you use in the end. A true bassist doesn't think about what he plays with, but focuses on getting the sound he wants (and you cant get the GnR sound without a pick)
Indeed, but when I try and play some random shit played with fingerstyle. But I still play everything with my pick! Exept if it really doesn't match the sound of the origanal song... ;)
your wrong stickywitelov try to play stuff of victor wooten or john entwistle. i bet you cant be near those guys level they are realy bass masters. duff is a great bassist but you cant compare him to the greats like larry graham marcus miller victor and john . they are in totaly different level
And also different genre... Entwistle ain't that much different though, but you can slightly see the "PUNX" in Duff. Entwistle made some awesome stuff with The Who, but you can't compare a punk rocker to a master of the bass art, can you? You can only compare Duff to his genre. Like Nikki Sixx etc. I agree Duff ain't the best player in the world. But his the best basist in the world to me, and thats what matters to me. DUFF forever man!
first off nikki sixx is glam metal guns n roses is hair metal look it up they didnt wear make up and write abunch of shitty ballads like those pussys from motley crue and duff rocks no doubt but the best bassist in rock ever is cliff burton when he died in 1986 metallica went down hill you want proof ok il give it to you compare garage inc,black album, and st. anger to say kill em all , ride the lightning or master of puppets yeah thats what i thought!
um, GnR isnt hair metal. Look up the CBGB '87 show and watch the interview at the end. Axl Rose (singer of GnR) : "We DONT consider ourselves a metal band. We're a rock n roll band..."
Hey very well played.I think this song isn't this hard but the rythm is really hard to get...i've got some probs with it,maybe my tab sucks i don't know...would be great if you or somebody else here could help me...
lol u seriously havent seen flea slapping.. id like to see any guitarist slap like he does, and if you are going to talk about shredding and speed, look at billy sheehan from mr big.. so yeah basically a 6 string bass is like a guitar with an extra technique which is slap, not trying to start a fight here, just saying..
*yawn* guitar has liek over 1000+chors not to mention power chords and bar chords where bass just has the ol slap like i do to ur mum everynight lol jking...but I play guitar a long time and I tend to pick bass up in like 2secs and guitar takes a lil longer so........
very nice nice cover and bass!! can somebody pls send me the bass tabs i need to learn it by sunday !! PLS???
