Dream Theater - Hell's Kitchen on Bass

[CobraDeSade]

Great job and nice sound!!!

[MushroomDisorder]

Hey is that John Myung's Yamah signature bass?

Looks killer!

[saulgrinberg]

@MushroomDisorder Indeed it is! I love it! :-)

[MushroomDisorder]

@saulgrinberg When and where did you buy it?

Do you remember how much it cost you?

Thanks,and keep up the good work :).

[saulgrinberg]

@MushroomDisorder I bought it a Guitar Center... 4-5 years ago, I paid just over $1,000 for it. I have no idea how much it's going for nowadays! The model number is RBXJM2 - I'm sure you'd find it quickly with a google search.

Thanks!

[Joshuaemx]

nice cover, and you seem like a chill guy

[saulgrinberg]

@Joshuaemx Thanks!

[shobon0]

bad

[mauriciosouzaleite]

3:19 - 3:29 is all wrong.. but in general, that's ok ;] good job

[saulgrinberg]

@mauriciosouzaleite Thanks!



[XxVic30xX]

goooooooood

[mateenhaidar]

good job, except the last part where you faltered a bit, though hitting the right notes in right timing. and that's more important - getting the right timing. you stay in the bar, and speed will come to you. keep it up!

[watmyung]

nice cover!

[Klaaaur]

really nice work dude .. congrtz ^^

[StealthHR]

From one DT bass-playing fan to another, good show. You do the song justice!

[callamanster]

awesome job man

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much!

[1noshoot]

Do you have tabs for this?

[saulgrinberg]

I do not have one full tab. I got different parts from different tabs online (back then I just googled "hells kitchen bass tab") and then the parts that I couldn't find decent tabs for, I just figured it out on my own!

[1noshoot]

@saulgrinberg Thanks for answering anyway, ill try and figure it out from this video....

Im trying to get into a local school of the arts for high school, and im going to audition with Solar Groove by John Myung and hopefully this....

[IrisMusicOnBass]

Thank you for making this! I play this number with my band and still struggle with it. :)

[TheLeonardo007]

this music is a mutiple orgasm in ear

[saulgrinberg]

Every single time, my friend.

[luccaflorenzzo]

Saul!!! posta aquele seu tocando carry on!

fico mto louco esse DT!! nada que eu jah nao esperasse de você!hauahua abraço

[saulgrinberg]

Hahaha. Cara, nem sei onde que foi parar aquele vídeo. Preciso achar de novo! Ví seus vídeos, mto bons tb. Parabéns! Abraço!

[m3rg3]

Is that a JMX 6string?

[saulgrinberg]

Yes, that is! Quite an amazing instrument!

[m3rg3]

Ture that!

Nice playing :)

[scarred2112]

A touch clammy on the unison section, but re-harmonizing the last lick in there *totally* makes up for anything else! It would have been great if JM had done so as opposed to following the guitar/keyboard lines note-for-note.

...and why is it that EVERY JM2 sounds better recorded on home setups and YouTube's awful compression than played by JM & recorded/mixed/mastered in professional studios?  MP & JP really don't know how to fit him into a mix with their downtuned guitars and 50+ piece kit.

[edthehead83]

Mike and John don't do the mixing; and if you think this sounds better than Myung in the studio, you are crazy. Although I do agree about the terrible sound quality of YouTube... but of course they are improving with the HD video option.

[saulgrinberg]

Exactly. Not quite there yet, but definitely improving!

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much!

As far as the sound; I believe it to be due to everything else going on. Some DT songs have more than 20 layers to them; in the sonic field provided by regular stereo sound, the bass has little room to while around amongst everything else in the mix. The reason why we perceive to hear it a lot better through youtube videos is because the bass' sound in laid on top of everything else, full range. Therefore, you're hearing the true sound of the instrument!

[bassmaster121]

could you hook me up with a tab if you possibly could.

[saulgrinberg]

I really don't have a tab for this song; I just picked up by ear. There are a few tabs out there that I could find, but most of them were inaccurate or incomplete!

[rockpetrad]

SWEET 6 string XD i only have a 5 string T_T great job too BTW

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much! I love using a six string. Much greater flexibility... but it's all about taste. I also have a four string that I love using - it just depends on what kind of style I'm playing.

[sirekul]

great, man! nice bass playing! i'm a bassist, but not as good as you, i'm just a below average bass player, i'm kinda lazy at practicing, anyways, great vid, dude!

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much!

[prey225]

well played man, smooth, rock on dude.

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much!

[Alex156]

Sweet man! Nice sound :)

In two words: well played.

I did also a cover of it, if you have some time , check it out :)

- Alex.

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much! I'll go check out your videos.

[kayken]

nice bass brother!!, but u need to practice a little more the best part of the song... 4/5

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much! Practice makes perfect...

[TheGlassStern]

Great Job! I would love to see more vids from you!

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much! I should be posting some more videos in the near future!

[hubabuba321]

You rock!!

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much!

[xarionxx]

you play tennis?

[saulgrinberg]

Hahahah. Yes I do!

[semoron]

Great job!

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much!

[MatteDema69]

nn male c'è un po' da perfezionare più nel tuo modo di suonare che nei pezzi che fai... in ogni caso... la parte l'hai improvvisata tu o ti hanno dato degli spartiti? no perchè sappi che nn è tutta giusta... risp

[saulgrinberg]

My Italian is very crude, so forgive if I missed a few things you asked! I based off a tab, but I did improvise a little here and there!

[MatteDema69]

Ok! so my english is crude too..:-) if you want the sheet i can give you that (my english is terrible i know).. i have that and many more.. like octavarium, universal mind, ecc... if you want reply this comment and i will tell you my e mail address.. sorry for my english.. hello!

[saulgrinberg]

I would love the sheets, if it wouldn't be a problem sending them to me! You're English is fine, by the way! =D

[alejoriggi]

you play really bad the most interesting parts... in it's no really difficult, you must find the correct fingering, and you will play it right, and follow the drums when you're play...

I give you a 5/10

10/10 for the bass =)

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you for the tip!

[snarfflez]

Wow... you good man please do me a favor and keep on doing what ur doin xD

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much!

[P3G450]

wena conchetumare igual toycai bkn

[v1ncent1993]

nice bass playing there. I really hope i can go to the dream theater concert in aus syd in 2008. and keep on bassing :)

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much! Considering I took a year to reply to this comment...did you get to go to the concert??

[squeaky92]

from a bassist to a bassist: great job man keep it up!

[DiuGauLi]

same here man! you rock!

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much!

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much!

[Thunderbolt1234]

wish i had a 6-string bass

[saulgrinberg]

It definitely expands your horizons as far as flexibility... the added range allows you to do all kinds of cool stuff; besides looking cool. If you get a chance to get one, I'd highly recommend it!

[colleybird123]

please send me the tab xxxxx

[agenemans]

now im curious, where did you get the music to play the song? i cant find a book or tab thats right for alot of dream theater music or this song and i lov the music but the tabs i find arent even close to being right

[saulgrinberg]

Hey! It was actually a combination of several wrong tabs that I corrected myself. I could not find one correct tab either... there are some that are completely off, nothing like the real song whatsoever!! Its a matter of finding one that is close to the real thing, then correcting it yourself by listening to the song...

Thanks once again!

[Osadam]

Bem tocado, das minhas musicas favoritas de DT, o Myung ficava orgulhoso se visse este video.

[saulgrinberg]

Muito obrigado! :)

Postarei uns videos novos nas proximas semanas; dê uma olhada depois!

Valeu!

[medicman71]

Man that was great! It's good to see someone who can play bass as well as john myung. It's not easy to play Dream Theater no matter what instrument you play. Again, GEART PLAYING!!!

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much! Hope you enjoyed it. Gonna post some new videos soon, check back for more!

[Rakim360]

I like this!! its very enjoyable!

you did an excellent job on the song!

How much was the Yamaha Bass?

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you!! I got it for a little below list price, around 1,000 dollars. You can shop around and probably find a lower price, though! =)

[Rakim360]

thank you man I appreciate it!

now I need the money hah

[saulgrinberg]

Hahaha, no prob. I know the feeling. I had to save up for a long time to get mine...

cheers!

[agenemans]

hey man i wanna say great job on this. this is one of the best videos ive seen on here, and theres alot of crap on this site and this was really good. keep it up.

[saulgrinberg]

Awesome! Thank you very much. I'll have some more videos soon! =)

[rochinante]

Felicidades tocas muy chido aparte que es una cancion muy buena!

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much! Checked out your video, great stuff as well. Congrats!

[saulgrinberg]

Yes, thats definetly the best part of the song! That cover of yours must've been cool, I still never managed to find a whole band to play this with... and yeah, this is the RBXJM2... awesome instrument! Thank you for the complement!

[andyfuckinburton]

good stuff, i covered this song with some guys for a GCSE recital. playing bass. the 16ths bit is always fun... nailed it. nice... is that the yamaha john myung signature 6 string?

[lfgalbraith]

It was very fun to watch you play this! You did an awesome job, it's good to see future Myungs =)

[saulgrinberg]

Thank you very much! =D

[laurenf16]

great playing dude! i want your bass! try using your little finger for those faster funs, gives you more options! but sure even petrucci doesn't use it most of the time and he's survived 21 years in dream theater! anyway, great playing! that is, if you can understand what i just wrote....

[saulgrinberg]

Definetly! I do try to use it, but most of the times it's just there bouncing around! I have to concentrate more on my technique. Thank you! =D

[tethyh]

Sem comentários... ;)

[saulgrinberg]

Bobina! hihihi.... =P

[pontinha]

Vai tocar assim lá na cozinha do inferno!!

[saulgrinberg]

Fico muito obridicido! =)
