CROSSROADS BASS TARDIZED CREAM VERSION

[mrruiz96]

Best version I've seen so far! Great job!

[Pudsy440]

@mrruiz96 Thanks alot :)

[m4kes0meno1se]

For a second I thought his name was Pussy440 haha

[sondza1979]

svaka čast bratorane!

[Pudsy440]

@awesme14 no I'm not ... I use my fingernail for part of my riff.

[awesme14]

It's easy for him you to play cause you're using a pick.

[castiglionianstallon]

what kind of bass is that? and what kind of alien are you?

[45pepelepew]

Try it like Jack Bruce die , not so funked up man.

[avyanez]

You got the soul. Sweet.

[sondza1979]

damn good, congratulations

[londonmod95]

watching this just makes me realize how bullshit at bass i am...... :/

[Pudsy440]

@londonmod95 Don't be so hard on yourself ... I've been playing for a loooong time. You'll be way better with practice and time.

[Middlesexful]

@londonmod95 I'm sure you're not bullshit at bass. even if you dont play 200000000000 beats per second like this guy you can be a great bass player. I'm a bassman too. It's just the problem that playing an unbelievable awesome "Understatement Bass" and showing it on youtube.com is not very exciting

[Pudsy440]

@Middlesexful this isn't that fast ... I'm just playing the blues dude ... not a big deal.

[bennytoast]

@londonmod95 I realized that watching this video too, but then i thought, but if i practice, this is how good i CAN get. optimism.

[Pudsy440]

@HOTHIL Thanks very much ... :)

[Magikhatman]

2 questions for you, 1how did u get that bass in that colour?

2 hows the neck, is it like wider or flater than a precession?

[1045C]

hey could u email me tabs or direct me to a place where i could learn this. Really apperciate it. thanks

[1045C]

hey could u email me tabs or a link where this is explained? i would really just love to play this thx

[dude22426]

i'm thinking thats a fender bass?

[Pudsy440]

sort of .. NOT ... it's an ibanez atk300 ... :)

[EdIsSuperman]

@Pudsy440 ibanez FTW!

[Pudsy440]

@EdIsSuperman yeah, I like Ibanez too :)

[jophcap]

Great!

[bassfuryvi]

Bad Ass bass...GREAT!

[slide4180]

Nicely done! Good sound and energy. How close is it to Jack's version?

You should put up some more of your takes.

[Pudsy440]

thanks ... it's a loose interpretation actually ... I do have a couple more crossroad takes amongst my vids ...

[strokesday]

dude, you play bass like a fucking champ

[jjdudebailey]

could you tell me where to find the tabs for this if you have them?

[blackwell3d]

[rteishe]

[knarfg]

[cashcac84]

[JumpWide]

That's damn good man!

[Pece17]

[filtonkingswood]

Nice.... very nice. Time to blow the dust of my Bass and build up some calouses. Now look what you gone and done!

[Stellatitsandcock]

Ohhhh Fuck! I've been trying to learn that for years what da....who da.....where da....oh Cock!

The King of Noodle I salute you.

Well done mate.

[Pudsy440]

Why thank you Stella T & C! King of Noodle ... hey!! I kind of like that ... :) Well it's time you learned it then ... my version is far from totally accurate btw ... it's just a random interpretation really ... a noodle actually ... haha

[francescaemc2]

Cavolo, l'e' bravo!

[SUPERPLYTNT]

PORCO DIO

[Pudsy440]

I translated the italian to english as hog god or god pig ... hahaha ...

geee thanks !!!

[francescaemc2]

Orca! Dio Svizzero!

[rhythmgod123]

Pretty cool man...sounds like the live Royal Albert Hall peformance in 67

[Thrawn2211]

No, sounds even better :D

[jasonmathieu1]

thats pretty god damn impressive

[lycos17]

you do pentatonics well. started to sound like billy sheehan there for a second.

[quitegonegenie]

Pretty damn impressive.

[TEgnoto89]

that is sick

[petezeppelin]

hey what key is this song in (im a rhythm guitarist)

[Pudsy440]

Yeah, I think I was playing it in "A" ... hey rhythm guitarists are cool!!

[Thrawn2211]

Guys, I tabbed potions of this solo, PM me with contact me with your e-mail adresses and I'll send the tab to you.

[derekaa]

yeah, the whole song is modeled around the A, D7, E progression, its wicked easy if you listen to it a few times, and to pudsy good work on the bass!!

[dantheman90045]

are you playing with a pick? cause thats some amazing tone.

[Pudsy440]

I'm using my index fingernail ... I close my index finger against my thumb like I'm holding a pick ... but there's no pick ... in this I'm alternating between that technique and regular plucking with my first two fingers ...

I find it easier to use my fingernail than a pick ... never really got on to a pick ... just feels clumsy to me. :)

[TheSaintHooker]

I take you don't have any tabs for this then? :~)

[Pudsy440]

sorry dude, it was just something i riffed off outa my head ... improvised. Thanks for stoppin by.

[AgentAJD]

It's good, but it's too short

[Pudsy440]

hey check out my other vid where I jam along with the whole song ... thanks.

[autocustom262]

you should put another video on but back the cam up a little lol. i'm tryin to follow but you are really good. good job man

[Pudsy440]

hey thanks, please don't make me do it over ... haha I do have another version in my video list that I do playing along with the song ...

[autocustom262]

I think i've watched this vidoe like 20 times but still get impressed lol

[somebodydude]

dude can u do me favor??

could u write me da bass guitar part on an electric guitar tab??

i hav 2 play to 4 da talent show..

if u put up a vid responce on 1 of my vids, ill subscribe 2 u.. THANX and plz help!!

[canvoodoo]

ace

[SriJah]

Very nice, sweet bends. You put six stringers to shame the way you play that thing. You a need a band where you play lead and the guitar player just plays rhythm. That would be groovin'

Jah

[goldtop4]

Nice one. Jack Bruce would be proud.

I'd love to see it done on an EB-3, though...

[bassist4dalord]

the ATK is an interesting choice... i would've gone with a P or a Jazz. great vid though!

[Yngwieder]

I think you are a guitar player also... correct??

[Pudsy440]

yes ... bass guitar ... haha bass is a guitar ya know! :)

But I know what you meant ... NO I don't play a regular 6 string guitar AT ALL.

[pritz1251]

delicious

[TheBeriault]

this is something i can definetly do on my bss, but what are the root notes?

[Pudsy440]

A - D and E ... basic blues progression

[1Pashnak]

that was awesome, started to play bass a few month ago, going great but that was GREAT!!!!

[Pudsy440]

why thanks! :) Good luck with your bass playing!

[vintagedrums75]

awesome video nice tone too

[AwJ89]

awesome!

[jlsguitar1]

hey i want to get an atk bass, and i love that finish..what is that? trifade?

[Pudsy440]

indeed it is ... hey thanks for the comments ... it's a mid 90's atk made in korea as well ...

[javahater]

5 stars! I can only hope that in 24 years and 10 months time, i can sound that good! hahaa.  Thanks for the inspiration to the bassist n00bie!

[Pudsy440]

thanks man and good luck with your bass playing, keep practicing and remember to have fun with it! :D

[GrayXIII]

*jaw drops* kick ass

[saxonsnowredux]

jesus... how long have you been playing?

[Pudsy440]

oh, 'bout 25+ years ... a while ... :)

[puzzbass91]

pretty tight!

[Pudsy440]

Gee thanks Mydern

[Mydern]

This more simple bassline than the original...

U did well though :)

[therealbeaker]

Shit hot brother, well done.

[xxcleonxx]

Is this the actual bass line for Crossroads

[Pudsy440]

NO it's not ... it's just an interpretation

[TheAmericanPoet]

very nice tight ass ass sound and amazing playing

[ok4450]

Two comments.

That is great.

My bass is off to the trash bin. :-)

[soren7]

Wow, that's great.

[ibanezmnm]

hey Pudsy.Another great video!Cheers!

[joebrassmonkey]

wow man im just speechless, that was awesome.

[hannan73]

wow good work

[Pudsy440]

thanks hannan73! :)

[IXIBobOhIXI]

Jack Bruce will smile when he hears this! Nice work.

[Pudsy440]

haha :) Long live Jack Bruce!!

[Thrawn2211]

Just awesome :D Too bad that there are no tabs for this ;)

[Pudsy440]

Hey thanks Thrawn, I really didn't know tab was that popular until I got on YouTube!

[Zolxen]

Amazing playing dude. For playing by ear, that was top notch. Good job! :D

[revolverocelotbobbys]

please tab this. it's sounds amazing.

[Pudsy440]

thanks for the kind comment but I don't work with tabs ... it's all by ear.

[MikeJohnsonguitarist]

...yeah!!!...sounds great!...

[Pudsy440]

Hey thanks Mike ... I checked out your Vids ... some great jazz guitar playin there! nice.

[charlesmanson1987]

Your a bastard for playing so well .=]

[lockstepngone]

really well done! how did you put it together?

[Pudsy440]

Thanks! ... just from memory actually ... it's such a classic!

[tinoo26]

how u liking that atk? im thinking of getting one for myself

[Pudsy440]

I like it a lot ... it's a real tank, nothing delicate about an ATK ... haha

[kidinthecoat244]

Jack would be proud (pray for one more tour)

[darkside621]

Well done.

I'm actually about to bite the bullet and purchase an ATK 305. This was insightful.

Thank you.

[Pudsy440]

Cool ... I'd like to see how a 5 string plays, the reviews I've read are good for the 5.

[MarloweDK]

Great groove and playin' 5 stars

[Pudsy440]

thanks desintoxicado, I hope you can get an acoustic fretless, they are fun to play, sound cool and I'm glad I did get one! :)

[desintoxicado]

it's sound really good, but I prefer the sound of your acoustic bass. I also have a fretless, but it is an electric bass. I want an acoustic!

great groove man!

sorry for my english!

[wnils]

Wow! just watched it again and gotta say I particularly love the last 26 sec.!!!! (from :45 on) Nice work!!!

[Pudsy440]

No, I don't use a pick, I've tried ... I hate having an extra device besides my fingers, but I do and did in this jam, put my thumb and index finger together and use the nail of the index finger as a pick. It's much easier for me to do that, I just drop picks and get them caught in the strings... hehe ... :)

[Pudsy440]

Thanks for the comments :) Improvising comes with time and lots of jamming I think, not worrying about the rigid structure of a bass line in a song, losing the fear of making mistakes and just letting loose, even if it's only a couple notes your jamming on. Doing your own thing and forget about copying other people, although, that's a good start, just not my thing.

[rgurdal]

Awesome. I love the tone, too. Are you using a pick?

[leadguitarman9]

Wow this was great! I'm trying to get the bass player in my band to play fast like that? How might he go about starting to learn to improvise? Thanks

[Pudsy440]

Thanks moomoo! Jack Bruce, yeah ... always been a favourite player of mine.

[moomoocajoo]

<3 Jack Bruce.

Great rendition, I love your style.

[NoClass82]

nice. what kind of bass are you playing on that ?

[Pudsy440]

Hi, thanks, it's a 90's Ibanez ATK 300 bass that I got on eBay! :)

[wnils]

holy crap. That was awesome! Nice groove and chops...

[Pudsy440]

actually me too, one of my favorites ... that live cream version they always play of Crossroads really rocks ...

[illwhoopyaheadboi]

Awesome, one of my favorite basslines. You have magical cyborg fingers

[Bipolar84]

Niiiice. 5 stars.
