[NeeKONarKoNiiKo]

best cover ive seen.nice job

[MrdelaConcepcion]

I'm looking for a bass guitar. What kind do you have?

[RocksNotDead101]

@MrdelaConcepcion It really depends on the sound you want, I personally love Precision basses, they give a great tone for rock in general.

[timmcclune91]

7 People dont have vegan powers.. LOL

[sammytard]

HEY! LOOK UP AND ENJOY THE VID!!!

[JellyfishChannel]

Ty for the tabs dude =p

[gs1234579]

Peaple don't hate aprechate

[hotnuffsaid97]

In 0:41 are you using a Pick?

[RocksNotDead101]

@hotnuffsaid97 In this video I am. But it is just as easy - if not easier - to play it with your fingers in a similar fashion. Press your thumb and index finger firmly together as if holding a pick and then strum up and down across the string.

[VdubEXwhYZee]

[plank107]

@RocksNotDead101 nice comment :D son i are proud

[FusiontheCat]

"That's right, Pilgrim.. I actually know how to play bass."

[williamlimlian]

@FusiontheCat Well idk exactly if you're joking or not, but Michael Cera, the actor, actually does know how to play Bass IRL

[FusiontheCat]

@williamlimlian Obviously someone hasn't read the graphic novel. Obviously that person is full of suck.

[ZoneRunner77]

Yeh right dude that was fucking amzing

[Obelisk8Music]

Flea  would be proud.

[seventhCrucifix]

@Obelisk8Music No he wouldn't.

[ronoc9]

[ScarecrowShadow02]

@freaqydeaky Stop putting comments like that !! Ive seen 20 comments from you With same old shit!! Stop copying me!! I was the first to ever put the DDDDDDDDDDD on the original bass battle and people like you started copying for attention!! Just make something up!!

[freaqydeaky]

@ScarecrowShadow02  Definantly

[LimnuLimnu]

most videos i see of this they all use a pick and i hate that major kuddos for no pick usage :3

[MEGADETHFAN3000]

@LimnuLimnu Scott and Todd actually both use picks...

[vitoboy92]

7 ppl will see the cleaning lady monday XD

[mil3nk0o0]

Woww man that was awesome you get it!!! Cool video!!

[brofan2]

so tight

[derricbb]

No need to be melodramatic about missing one note. If the performance is good enough, no one will care. Pointing out an error yourself only makes it more evident to those who wouldn't have noticed it.

[ALBERTSAVILL2]

D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D

[Jsinification]

[futbolandia13]

[panter244]

Hey what guitar do you have?(bass)?

[RocksNotDead101]

@panter244 The bass is a 1980's Aria pro II bass. In the guise of a Fender precision bass

[emokehd]

How long did it take u to learn this?

[RocksNotDead101]

@emokehd It's hard to say because I didn't have tabs to work from, I wrote the tabs. So I learnt it as I figured it out.

[DearLoveOfficial]

@RocksNotDead101 DO you happen to have the tabs? I'm trying to learn it and I know all of Scott's parts but I can't hear Todd's very welll. D:

[MrObito123]

Where did you learn and how long have you been playing I am an aspiring bass player also

[RocksNotDead101]

@MrObito123 I started off playing Classical guitar when I was about 7-ish I think. I then moved onto electric bass when I was about 11 or 12. I'm now 16.

Search bassfacefreelessons, I get taught by him in person once every fortnight. He is worth checking out. :D

[YoMyEx]

we dont need to know you messed up... just play

[RocksNotDead101]

@YoMyEx ;-; sorry. Forgive me?

[YoMyEx]

@RocksNotDead101 you are forgiven

[reyesolivia5]

OH MY GOD, YOU'RE MY IDOL. Can you post a tutorial vid for this please? I've been dying to learn this, but I can't seem to get it :/

[RocksNotDead101]

@reyesolivia5 haha, thanks for the kind comments. I'll try and remeber to get round to that, i'm in the middle of my exams now before I go to collage. Seriously, just keep messaging me every few weeks or so, so i don't forget.

[Xillien11]

Hmmm me and you must have a bass battle..... it would be a amazing battle, to the mother fucking death!!!!

[emokehd]

[Hellsinger16]

[RocksNotDead101]

@theriddler16er Haha, some people i know call me the real life Scott P because of the similarities I have with the character in the book. :P

I wish I could have been lol, but I'm not nearly old enough to play him, i'm only 16 (15 in this video) and I also can't act for toffee! :L Thanks for the kind words!

[SunshineInSeoul]

Good job, I think it sounds really good. After playing on normal guitar for 4 years I realize that I don´t want to be guitar player but I want to play on bass. I totally starts to falling for that sound. Love your bass, what is label of that?

[RocksNotDead101]

@SunshineInSeoul Thanks, the bass is a 1980's Aria pro II bass. In the guise of a Fender precision bass

[S14y3r1432]

hey just wanted to know what bass is that you have

[RocksNotDead101]

@S14y3r1432 1980's Aria pro II bass. In the guise of a Fender precision bass

[theskullmaster5898]

[FusiontheCat]

[magikustotalus]

really good, just stop apologizing and making excuses

[armkenz1]

someone wants to get .......... funky

[pivotmongral]

I don't know why I was expecting the one from the game.

[nivekiohc]

GOD UR SO FUCKING GOOD AND ALSO UR FINGER PICKING IT FML!!! XO

[Krockpot67]

hey you got that one part wrong where you slide from 1 to 13. you have a chord of A-string 1 and D-string 1 to D-string 13.

[RocksNotDead101]

@Krockpot67 I play that in the video. 

[Krockpot67]

@RocksNotDead101 o, it doesnt sound like it

[Krockpot67]

@RocksNotDead101 o, it doesnt sound like it. it sounds funny when you do it. also btw how do you do todd's last part where he moves to the end of the neck. are the three notes of each just really fast?

[RocksNotDead101]

@Krockpot67 it's because when I strummed the second time I accidentally missed the A string. :P

Ermm When Yes, you can either play the same three notes fast (on G -13,12,11) -which i did in this recording- or four notes (on G - 13,12,11,10) even faster :)

I might re film this as i am a bit out of tune in the video.

[Krockpot67]

@RocksNotDead101 no i meant right before that part where it goes all the way up to 20, are there any hammer downs or pull offs at this point?

[RocksNotDead101]

@Krockpot67 ohboy, stretching my memory. :P

Erm, see the tab in the description. But I believe i played

G---13-13-13--15-15-15-16-16-1­5-16--- etc.

[Thing07]

Looks like someone wants to get.... funky.

[GumballinBob]

Just wondering, are you using anything else other than the amp to get that sound? I've been trying to do the same but it never sounds right.

[RocksNotDead101]

@GumballinBob Nope, I wasn't using my overdrive pedal in this recording/ Just play around with the tone until it sounds right, sorry I couldn't help more! D:

[Eyeoftherhino]

Ok first I wanted to point out that Todd's first riff is from the red hot chili peppers proveong that flea is one of the best bassists ever

Also yes bass gets harder but it easy if you get a start on drums so you can get down rhytum first

[pyscobrand]

Damn straight rocks not dead, RocksNotDead101!

[BlckHrt141]

Is the Bass easier or harder than the guitar?

[RocksNotDead101]

@BlckHrt141 It's very much opinionated but I'd say Bass is easier to get into as a beginner. I'd say bass had a wider range of very different techniques than you would on guitar. Whereas once you've learned guitar, which may be harder to begin with you've there isn't much else to learn as although techniques used on guitar are different from one another, they are alot more similar than the range of techniques used on bass.



[RocksNotDead101]

@BlckHrt141 if TLDR:

Bass is easier to begin with but will get more difficult as you progress and pose more challenges as you develop.

Guitar is trickier to begin with but once you've learnt the basics there isn't much more to it then practice.

[theman6948]

@BlckHrt141 there different in there own was cause bass is all about the finger technique (or u could use a pick) but guitar is more about chords and moving up and down the neck alot. but when you get to the same experience level in them there are equally challenging. also depends on what type of music you want to play/learn.

[dshisnit137]

i want to learn how to play bass. i play guitar already so that might give me an idea of how to play, and do you have tabs for this?

[RocksNotDead101]

@dshisnit137 Yes, I'm sure that'll give you a headstart, tabs are in the description.

[dshisnit137]

@RocksNotDead101 thx

[MajoraMasks66]

No life in a good way! Can you play the bass for We hate you please die?

[RocksNotDead101]

@MajoraMasks66 Indeed I can. Do you want a video?

[auqifx]

@RocksNotDead101 hell yes!

[DaAlfaN00b64]

eggs and milk bitch!

[smilemkay]

How long have you played the bass? I want to learn the bass...I wanna know how long it would take for me to learn how to play this >_<

[RocksNotDead101]

@smilemkay Erm.. I think 4 years now. But how quickly you can pick up and instrument is down to how musical you are, how much you practice and how much you enjoy it, etc. :)

[invictusonline]

@smilemkay it really wouldn't take long to learn something like this if you just practice. that is the biggest key to being able to do anything

[Gatsira]

My favorite cover. And your plucking is soo orgasmic. =o

[koolkid6666]

Fuckin awesome dude good job

[lolzorkid]

o.O You haven't followed your own tabs. I found it quite odd when I was playing along with you and it wasn't matching. >.<

[RocksNotDead101]

@lolzorkid Haven't I? Sorry If I haven't I recorded this before I started writting out the tabs! :S

So, trust the tabs, not what I play! As the tabs will be a further developed version of this! :)

[tnmn100]

sounds like someone wants to get.... funky.

[comments647]

Mad talent

[Emoney101010]

[itr835]

[cornyking1992]

I love the bass because its so easy to play and sounds so great

[DearLoveOfficial]

@cornyking1992 Not all bass is easy o.O

[cornyking1992]

@DearLoveOfficial not all of anything is easy but most bass is easy to me

[RocksNotDead101]

@cornyking1992 I wish I could play the more complicated Primus songs, at the moment I can only play a few like Too many Puppies and Harold of the Rocks.

[InXiLez]

Who cares if you missed one or two notes bro nice work man sounded heaps good nice work

[TripleTimesThree]

Yay! You finished with one life left!

[RocksNotDead101]

@TripleTimesThree YEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!! :D

[IGotASkiHat]

[picturethis45321]

[pyscobrand]

Is that a 20 fret guitar? Also what brand is it?

[RocksNotDead101]

@pyscobrand Sorry, I appear to have been logged into a friend's account; 21 fret, 1980's Aria pro II bass. In the guise of a Fender precision bass

[pyscobrand]

@RocksNotDead101 thanks for the response.

[pyscobrand]

@RocksNotDead101 thanks for the response.BTW your playing is awesome.

[RocksNotDead101]

[RocksNotDead101]

@DearLoveOfficial It is a pleasure to own and play :'D

[RockXIII]

VS

[strawberrysocks13]

It'd be nice if we could see what notes you were playing. Can you post a tab?

[RocksNotDead101]

@strawberrysocks13 I already have, you can find the tab on Bassmasta (dot) net and on Ultimateguitar (dot) com.

See my other video for a direct link to the tab! :D

[FriedChicken192]

this is good

[mstepjacker14]

someones a vegan lmao xD

im in lesbians with this bass battle

[Flig5]

Any chance you could tab this out? I can't see what your playing on anything above the eleventh fret.

[RocksNotDead101]

@Flig5 I already have, you can find the tab on Bassmasta (dot) net and on Ultimateguitar (dot) com.

See my other video for a direct link to the tab! :D

[Troypodiopsyndrome]

Fricking fantastic, dude. Totally like the real thing. I'm very impressed.

[Schizo42]

Can you do a video teaching how to do this. I'm desperately trying to learn it.

[IsllayGirls]

Is it hard and/or time consuming to learn how to play bass? Im seriously thinking of doing so...i just know nothing

[RocksNotDead101]

@IsllayGirls It is easier if you are tall/have long arms because bass guitars are big. (You could always buy a 1/2 size or 3/4 size though).

Guitarist often put down bass as an easy instrument. This is not true. It is easier and quicker to pick up as a beginner than Rhythm guitar but it is just as hard, if not harder to progress. It is time consuming to learn how to play, but it depends on how much you really want to play it. If you enjoy it it won't take long for you to improve.

[RocksNotDead101]

@IsllayGirls But like anything, you'll only get as much out of it as you put in. So stick to your guns and don't stop practicing. But don't expect to whip a song like this off in your first week. (unless you practice like mad! :P)

I can also link you to a good channel which gives bass lessons on youtube for free. :)

[IsllayGirls]

@RocksNotDead101 no, i dont even have an instrument, thanx. But, i gues it wont get me more than a couple years to get GOOD >:) so...i should start searching for pricez.......or stores, i live in damn greece, its not easy to find stuff here...

[bigbobdfg]

anyone wants a bass id reccomend checking local pawn shops...cheaper then guitar stores and they usually let you try anything you want out.
