[Maxbo444]

wow just awesome :D

[GabitoxFloyd]

Awesome!!

[the1020302000]

does anybody know how the strumming goes?? he does it so fast his fingers look like a blur in the video... (i don't know how to do the short breaks in the "dam(stop). da-dam (stop). da-dam (stop). da-da-da...")

[McRicksTheBass]

@the1020302000 are you talking about the main riff? There are muted notes in between the notes on that, it is 3 x x 1 x x 3 on the e string and 1 0 on the a string

[almendraxd129]

[Duncanlance]

[TheAudibro]

HE FUCKING LOOKS LIKE HILLEL SLOVAK.

[trev3050]

i noticed near the end when you were trying to do all those fancy fills you would go off timing your not as good as everyone says you are...

[jugarnaut40]

@trev3050 You're one to talk... You can criticize when you play a better cover. And I don't see that happening seeing as how this cover was spot on.

[DeathInGray]

@trev3050 read the description before being a douche bag

[DeathInGray]

@trev3050 he messes up and isn't as good as alot of bass players but he is fucking good regardless of what your punk ass says

[TheRobertjavier81]

[ElKitty95]

22 Persons Doesnt know Charlie.

[KoelleMusic]

what for a amp did you use for this cover? 'cause i really like that sound...and did you use any effects? 'cause its the same sound like the sound in your cant stop cover or? this sound is good to slap and also good for a deep sound. but: great cover! and it's right that you play the 12th march in thonex with your band? :P

[iangotango13]

Your an amazing bass player, and your actually helping me not go through the trouble of analyzing the whole bass parts of the songs! I also read the description were you say you made some mistakes, unlike your other covers wich are flawless, perhaps its how you are positioning your left hand, seems that your playing it a little stiff jaja XD, so continue on and spread the Flea love!!!

[ratonL]

Holy mother....that was beautiful!!!...thanks..

[TheBassRockers]

Super !

[fevhagh]

i want an opinion on what's better.playing with a pick or with your fingers?

[iangotango13]

@fevhagh FINGERS!!! actually it depends on the song, but prefer fingers all the wa XD

[TNTIV]

are you using a pedal to get that awesome sound that flea does? cause it sounds just like the album. 

[mygotiklolita]

Trop fort ^^

Moi a chaques fois que je travaille les musiques des red hot à la basse je repete avec tes videos =) ça m'aide beaucoup

ps : j'aime le son de ta basse (pourquoi la mienne a pas ce son sniiiifff lol)

[rrreeeiiittt]

Thudmose. HE is great but flea is the best!

[pillowpantsvagtroll]

[chukov08]

[paokim93]

So many RHCP songs with gr8 basslines waiting for their cover :P And u do extremely good man :O

[marcoilic13]

[wallski94]

[Lyandra]

Youre incredibly hot, man!

[DivineN25]

Oops! its cool lol

[DavidM4725]

(3:19) dont worry dude nobody saw it :p

[ltp3380]

hey man what settings are you using on your amp ??

[JohnMich788]

Ur awsome wat type of bass is that

[zazan4x]

man... you rock

[Ph1l94]

Incredible awesome cover.

How to you play the muted notes, this "chacka - chacka" between the actual notes? It sounds really great when you play them.

Keep on playing, you are awesome!

No. 1 person to keep me motivated at playing bass guitar.

[DavidSinRocks]

@Ph1l94

thank you so much! well just push your left hand fingers on the string to mute them, then hit the strings with the right hand in a percussive way, like when you're typing on a keyboard but with all the fingers at the same time :P

hope it helps a bit! otherwise you can always check the video of flea playing it in some kind of hotel room :P

[Anonymousman1232]

@DavidSinRocks I think its his house, because I saw a video, of what I think to be the same interview, of Flea showing his wall of basses.

[TechSmack]

@Ph1l94 lol chacka heheh

[GrilloJ123]

Bass is great but very few bands can pull off the Bass being the lead. Mr. Bungle was a band that did the Bass very well. Good cover by the way.

[Jordo1900]

Do you like every single RHCP song!

[brandofj]

jajaja WTF in the 3:20 ??

xD amasing man ..

[Jordo1900]

I love your bass,

Your freakin' awesome at bass

[06wraightm]

the chorus sounds just like the pre-chorus from 'So Much I'

[charliegray12212]

My real name is Charlie :)

[deckervideos]

there's nothing better than bass and this is an awesome cover i wonder too how do i get this sound from the bass

[fran123100]

Love this song, great cover! you rock :D

[GeorgeGibbs100]

Does anyone know how to get this sound from your bass?

[Hawolation]

@GeorgeGibbs100 i'd would also like to know it

[WheresMySpaceButton]

ow there was some mistakes in here, dude. I've seen ALOT of your covers and you are a great bassist, I'm a great fan, dude.. but this is probably one of your worst covers, no offense! I'd like to see you do another version of this because I know you can do better. :P

[Leonhartsmiles]

Give him the benefit of the doubt, that ending is really complicated and the tempo is pretty fast.

[Isabelle0204]

Whaouououou !!! Bravo !!!

[TheJesperAble]

Flea is the king and you are the Prince

[topcatiscool]

@TheJesperAble mmm he may be good at coying songs but have we seen him write anything? not knocking you or him just saying that no-one will take flea's place in the world when he dies like a prince wold do to a king, he is just too unique.
