  • And still i cannot believe that you have still not deleted this video.

  • xDDDDDDDDDD

    wow, thats amasing, i must lol xDDD

    omg the best shit that i have seen the last time xD

  • Hahahahahaha

  • you sing like shit, sorry

  • the playing woz good :) (Y)

  • I like your style of singing, it kind of sounds like the song. Kind of. Awesome playing and I know how hards it is to play and sing at the same time. Props to you.

  • you using a squire jazz bass? it looks a lot like mine

  • Well there's Fender written on the headstock. True it's hard to tell the difference with a Squier on this video, both visually and soundwise. But that's my fault. In reality, the Highway one is a better instrument.

  • @hedekbass you play weird, you should use your pointer and index, and squire a peices of shit made in asia.

  • WOOOOOOOOW YOU'RE SOOOOOOOOOO

    fucking bad

  • Thats nice of you, he might not be the greatest singer in the world but still, dick.

  • Comment removed

  • nice guitar playing...bad singin'...

  • I agree ;) Thanks.

  • gooood!

  • its not meant for bass so at least play it on a higher string so that it sounds a bit like the song. But not bad.

  • actually not bad playing...pretty clean...but singing puts me off

  • lol napoleon dynamite on bass

  • lol

  • phull O" phail.

  • bad singing

  • i dont really care that its a bass but its queit and singing is kinds silly

  • there is no bass in white stripes :O remember?

  • Whats right, its only a guitar and a drummer ;)

  • its there on the CDs but only the begining rest of the time its an octave pedal

  • No, its true, 2 person band, the drummer is the girlfriend of the guitarist. There is only 2 people, drums and guitar/singer.

  • well yeah the members...but if you listen theres bass on the CD's because its so low that a guitar would never be able to hit the note...like i play bass so you tend to recognize whats a bass and whats a guitar with effects...there is bass in the songs even though they dont play bass on stage...every song needs bass or it sounds worse than this kids singing

  • You are erroneous.

    If you actually listen to the recording it's pretty easy to tell that it's a guitar put through effect pedal. There are occasions where Jack white puts bass on The White Stripe's recordings, but Seven Nation Army is, ironically, not one of them.

  • Sorry to bash your ego, but obviously and you need to familiarize yourself with guitar and bass a little more. It's called a guitar with an octave pedal. It's kind of like a guitar imitating a bass. But no, it isn't a bass. And many bands don't use bass in almost all of there songs, including The White Stripes.

  • wtf are u talking almost every band needs a bass player, it creates the rhythm. Probably the white stripes and a couple other dont use but this suks.

  • Of course it creates rhythm, but so does a drummer, just in a more complicated way. Not every band needs a bass player, no almost every band needs a bass player, but many and most generic bands do need one.

    Chill man, I'm not bashing the bass.

  • The Doors didn't have a bass player, their songs had some of the best bass lines. Keyboardist Ray Manzarek was responsible for the bass. It's true the White Stripes have often performed on stage without a bass altogether and even though there might not be a bass player in this song, there's definitely a bass line. But it's good to have an open-minded approach to music sometimes. Apocalyptica has done an amazing job covering electric guitars with cellos.

  • No doubt about bass lines I was trying to make a point about there being a bass player in a specific band.

  • @hedekbass well acually they did sat he played the bass in only one of his songs and this the one jack played in

  • @bornfornothing97 on the recording I think he was using a semi-acoustic guitar with an octave pedal to get that bass sound in addition to his usual electric guitar. On stage he only plays the electric guitar with an octave pedal and distortion turned off during the verses.

    There is definitely a bass line in this song, but no bass guitar.

    On stage they've never performed with an actual bass player as far as I know. It's only the two of them, Meg on drums and Jack on guitars and piano.

  • dont dance!its bad enough we have to hear u sing!

  • oh my god!!!

  • hahahahahahahahahahaha qe pendejo xD

  • .. Ill leave the comment on the vocals for when Im feeling disgruntaled. But holy shit please to all bass players: stop covering a song that doesnt have bass in the first place and neglecting the history of amazing and challenging basslines the have come before.

  • ptdr

  • Yeah \m/

  • hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahah­aha oh and i have the same bass so thats cool ;)

  • lol its like a singer on the x-factor, bass sounds good

  • you realize there are other strings than the E and A right? just saying. you wouldnt have to play that far up the neck if you would use the other strings. you sound alright on the bass though, better than i could do on vocals... but maybe leave the singing to who originaly did it next time, ok?

  • the singing isn't even that bad, people just hating cuz you don't EXACTLY sound like jack white.

  • the bass is awesome, but mclovin, please dont sing

  • haha, he does look a lot like mclovin doesn't he? you did a gr8 job in the bass :)

  • the bass sounds great but quit singing, it sucks

  • he did some pretty good solo improve for playing a guitar solo with a bass

  • o ya u look like mclovin

  • train your singing skills

  • ahhhhhhhh, pos vale, púag

  • my school jazz band has same bass =0

  • isn't it crazy?

    it is a JAZZ bass

  • o.o no duh lol

  • highway1 jazz bass to be specific

  • get a grip of ur singing!!!

  • i think you play good but it looked other than all over covers of bass (the thing with your thumb)

  • Thanks. I only used the thumb for the first two verses to get a quieter sound with the side of my palm and of my little finger muting the rest of the strings close to the bridge. A bit like pizzicato on classical guitar.

    Quite handy when you use a distortion/fuzz pedal like I had here (Big Muff Pi).

    I switched to normal finger technique for the chorus and the last verse.

  • wärs nich einfacher den hauptteil auf der D und G und A saite zu spielen, statt auf der E saite?

  • its me or i hear a very litle sound that sound like the song?

  • i think u shoud play the bass with the pointer and the middle fingers, and not with ur thumb.

    anyway, good job, liked the cover...

  • Yeah!!! Great job!!! I liked the singing...Sounds like you are covering Marilyn manson who is covering the white stripes lol but awesome!!!

  • cant sing but good bass i guess

  • Interesting singing. Love the bass :D

  • Hey not bad dude bass playing was good but not to be offensive you need to work on the singing a bit once you get the voice right you' ll be very good make it lighter than it is.

  • Sounds like napolean dynamite and clark from benchwarmers aka jon heder

  • nice bass playing dude

  • Well done. Singing was a bit funny, but i really like your voice.

  • haha the singing was funny

    nice bass and playing :)

  • Thanks ;-)

  • nice playing and fucking sweet bass, it seems like alot of bass guitars look even cooler then leads, but the singing was rather, entertaining:)

  • leads?

  • I hear u only use bass.

  • dude you just need to practise vocals a little more but overall it was really good

  • cool 5 stars

  • you can also play the tabs on A string... 7-7-10-7-5-3-2

    7-7-10-7-5-3-5-3-2

    3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-­5

    then all over again

  • i acctualy liked it you vocals a bit trippy but very close congrate u are pretty good :}

  • i like it :)

  • wat r u tuned in?

  • EADG. Main riff is 12-1215-12-10-8-7 on the E string. That's how I played it, some play it differently. I don't think there's ONE way to do it, whatever sounds good to you.

  • Dude you awsome don't listen to those peeps. If you have the balls to sing than keep doin it, who knows you may get amazing at it :D good work

  • Thank you very much! But there are already so many bad singers, I doubt the world needs more :)

  • Hey, ur good... dont listen to those comments, feel free to sing while you play :D that what i do when i have nothing else to do :P Thumbs UP FOR YOU MAN!!

  • Hey thanks a lot :) I don't really mind about the bad comments though, if people think I'm crap then so be it. I don't have any record to sell so who cares :p I have fun when I play with my friends and good laughs when I try to sing, and that's all I'm asking music for : entertainment.

  • I like your bass

  • you dont sing bad, and your bass is good!. I liked it..

  • try making your voice a little higher thattl help good luck dude and dont let theese comments put you down keep playing ;)

  • You were only singing as a joke right? Because if that was serious, then you honestly need lessons. But I love the way you play bass.

  • Thanks for your comment about my bass playing. Of course I'm not a singer. Never took any singing lessons, never will, the point of youtube for me is post things for fun. If I wanted to prove anything or try and become "famous" I'd open a myspace page or whatever, not post on Youtube. Everytime someone says "you sing like crap but you play bass ok" I'm happy. The other way round would have totally depressed me though :p

  • I kinda feel like an ass for saying that though since that is probably the 50th time you've heard it.

  • guitar was good.

    but that singen not

  • Bass was bad ass, (and the Bass looked sick) But the singing was a little off. Not saying I could sing any better, but yeah you have balls lol

  • man, dont take all this bad comments, its probably just because you look weird singing, this people cant really understand anything.

    you play it really well. I had the same idea as you to change the chorus notes to match the guitar better, but you pulled it off much better.

  • Not too bad, but it's true your voice isn't perfect.. But you rock dude !!!

  • I think you did pretty well ^^ Nice playing - you're really good

  • Wow man, you're brave putting this up :). The singing wasn't too bad, the playing was pretty good but try playing it on the A string and see what it sounds like. And it's funny how fags always comment about there being no bass in White Stripes songs, even if there isn't you can still play it lol.

  • nice bass playing, just dont sing. lol, nice fender though.!!!!!!!!!

  • maybe its best if you stuck to just guitar hero instead

    oh and dont sing

  • .....ok.....lets see, dude u played it well, just dont sing....for people who comment...

    if there r just 2 people who play in the white stripes meg white = drums jack white= guitar, electric piano:P....where is the bass??, there isnt...on live u dont hear a bass...

  • woooow dude , DONT SING , stay with guitar playing no singing... lol

  • this is sad....lmfao!!

  • man u have guts

  • the song has no bass? neither the moonlight sonata. go bash stu hamm or marcus miller. you're all pathetic. good job hedekbass

  • someone should learn how to sing

  • shuld hav used an amp

  • i liked it but the bass was a lil i dno un thaught through lol =] nb tho

  • Tu es odieux !

  • crap of a bass

  • Thanks a lot ;)

  • Why do a bass cover of a song with no bass?

  • Because Jack White, the guy who wrote that song, doesn't play bass but clearly wanted a bass sound in that song during the verses, so he used a barritone guitar and tried to make it sound like a bass as much as possible and kept his "true" guitar sound for the chorus.

    And just my opinion but this song sounds better played with bass AND guitar.

  • that song has bassssssss

  • I believe many of the album songs actually do have bass but aren't played live. There's also a vid somewhere of Jack White playing this song (I think) live using a bass, the only one time live.

  • Your singing reminds me of McLovin from Superbad. Or Napoleon Dynamite. Nice Fender H1.

  • You are a great gitair player, but singing is not your best part of the song ;)

  • bad singer

    good guitar player

  • YEAH you are brave and i think you can play very good, so that you´re a good bass player!!!!!! RESPECT

  • The vocals were horrible. But great guitar.

  • My opinion exactly, thanks a lot :-)

  • omg thats such a little amp!

    and ummmm don't do that dance thing just so you know now!

    and use your own singing

    don't try to sound like jack white

    but that was kick ass

  • you shouldnt try to sing right now... You are messing up your rythm a bit while singing.. its perfect in the parts where you dont sing

    nice bass sound by the way

  • po kiego Gzyba pokaujesz plamniki...e... znaczy wzmacniacz??

    Fajnie ja tez sie cziesze ,ale po co mi to wiedzieć ,aha na przyszłość ,nie trzes sie jakbys miał parkinsona ;/

    Wogóle po co szepczesz ,nie śpiewaj .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bo fatalnie Ci to idzie ,ja tez nie śpiewam najlepiej ,ale i tak lepiej od Ciebie.. jedyne co tu jest fajne to ta gitara ,bo jest ładna (:

    Ale juz po pierwszym słowie totalnioe zbeszcześciłeś TWS ;/;/;/;/

    jesteś plugawym robakiem ;/

  • lol sonds like nappolian dynimite, its played on 5th string at begining, then bridging. so that sucked

  • 5th string?? dude bass guitars dont have 5 strings

  • what

  • hehe no offense but u sorta remind me of napolian dinamite!!:P and u were ok i guess but the singing could use some work

    srry dude

  • stai nguaiaaaaattttttt

  • Wrong tabs, supposed to be played on A, but it works. It was ok. And no offense, none at all, but you kinda sing like a faggot.

  • Hehe ok, no offense taken, I don't care about my singing. Are you sure about the string though? I've seen all sorts of tabs, some on the E string, some on the A, some even on the D so I ended up playing it by ear. But since it's played by Jack White on a baritone guitar how do you know what are the "right" bass tabs?

  • do you people not listen to real music? i dont understand how anyone can think this is good, its like everyone on youtube is retarded or deaf...i just dont understand its so embarassing

  • It's not great that's for sure, but wasn't Youtube meant for amateurish videos? I for one don't understand people who complain on Youtube about people who play music as a hobby saying "you're nothing compared to real musicians like Paul Mc Cartney or Jaco Pastorious" that's true so what! Am I better than 5 years ago? definitely, am I still getting better? I hope so. Will I one day get to the level of "real music" probaly never but I hope I will nevertheless.

  • And btw, you can say whatever you want about my video, if you think it's crap, fine, does that give you the right to judge the tastes of other people commenting here? Absolutely not!

  • Interesting cover, the fingering around 3:00 was awesome.

  • I meant that I really liked the singing as well :)

  • Excellent! Very nice rendition. I really the singing as well. More videos please.

  • i sincerely think you sing better than jack white...

  • aha

  • awesome.... suscribe plz

  • thank you very much :) a new video is up, don't worry this time I'm not singing ;) it's Block Rockin' Beats by The Chemical Brothers!

  • You sir, are awesome.

  • thanks :)

  • lol

  • Unlike most bass player vids on youtube, you have your transsitions down well and you play a lot more fluent. Not so sure about the singing though :P

  • a gr8 interpretation!

    not a 7nation army could u down!

    keep it up!

  • a gr8 interpretation!

    not a 7nation army could u down!

    keep it up!

  • stop singing!

  • Don't worry :) as you can hear I'm not a professional singer and never will, I'm just having fun with an instrument I love playing ; singing because I felt like it at that moment, and posting it on a website meant for amateur videos : Youtube, people can laugh or enjoy what I play, I really don't care it's really just a hobby :)

  • hey...vocal really is not a big deal here.. is not agreat voice but.. congratulations because this song played and singed at the same time is really hard.. well form me.. i had do just PEA but,, mine its play...

  • I broke my hip while watching this.

  • I think you did a pretty good job, The vocals are actualy pretty good. They sound somthing simmilar to The Clash or some Ramone songs. Sweet Bass man, but wich do you think is better your Highway one or Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass.

  • Hehe thanks. About the bass (answers across several replies due to youtube limits).

    Well the Highway and the Deluxe are totally different. The Highway is passive meaning the sound is sent raw from the bass to whatever you plug it in while the Deluxe has a built-in preamp, it changes the sound quite a bit and also gives you more control over tone. Now on paper it might sound like active basses are necessarily better, but in the world of music it doesn't, it's all about personal feelings.

  • Ok thanks, you have a point. Today I performed in front of a lot of people with a beaten up Ibanez that belongs to my school. I did not have time to set the controls to my liking. It sounded ok anyway. Your comments realy helped.

  • Passive basses usually sound more full and round, and closer to the basses (and thus old records) from the 60's and the 70's, active basses are usually a bit more crisp, bright and responsive and yet it's not always true depending on other parameters such as woods used (maple will sound brighter than ash wood). I really can't explain it with words you'd have to play each to hear the difference.
