Sassafras Roots Green Day bass cover

[plapricot]

What happened to your bass cover of "Stuck With Me"? I came looking for it... and it's gone! woosh!

Anyway, nice work man.

[paultaite]

@plapricot Thanks man!! Yeah they took off stuck with me because of copyright!! :( But I should just do it again without the background music! Anyhow my band just released our 2nd Album - it's on my profile page if ya want to listen to it !! Paul

[plapricot]

@paultaite

It'd be cool of you to post an alternate Stuck With Me without BG music (blasted copyright law! ah, well). I always liked your cover of it best.

I'll check y'all's new album out!

[mbuckhannon]

I think you got mikes tone so perfect in this one man!

[OMFProductionz]

It really looks like u played it slowly then sped it up to make it look like u were playing it. That wud also explain why ur fingers don't exactly match and why there's a slight audio delay

[paultaite]

@OMFProductionz Hmmm somethings gone wrong with this video lately, it used to be normal speed. Will make another one! Paul

[musicmatters420]

not bad. although learning songs by ear is the way to go, not tabs.

[TNTIV]

BTW I LOVE THE TABS YOU PUT IN THE DSCRIPTION! It's very accurate if not totally correct! I learned the song in about 1hr. 45 mins. and it sounds great... other than my strings which are starting to get a crappy sound.

[TNTIV]

good cover but your camera is delayed by 2 seconds or so.

[JeIIen]

You arn't playing it right really, but it still sounds really good.

[gabyartes01]

squier vintage modified p-bass?

[gabyartes01]

Nice cover, and cool bass! :P

[m1kes1mmons]

fingers work way better than a pick for a bass but still really nice cover

[EvenHummROCKS]

Try using your fingers, it works nice for this song!

[greenday54336]

Man Mikes bass lines just arent the same but He still is a bass god

[generalshermancross]

Dude your awesome I love this song and its my favorite bass line of most almost all their songs. that and "Longview" I really want to learn this song. I play without a pick though so I guess Im going to just have to adapt lol

[paultaite]

[hatchetridda]

Nice cover man. Hopefully I'll be close to this good sometime soon haha. I'm alright, but I suck at the fast fret switching D:

Oh well. Green Day rocks and this is a great cover:P

[mikeinoakland]

mikey dirnt is awesome. he just POUNDS that sumbitch. it's like an extension of the drum kit, how hard his pick hits the strings. for a white boy james brown would be proud of how hard the "1" is being hit.

[paultaite]

Couldn't have said that better myself ... very true!!!

[MacintoshHacker]

jesus christ! when your famous, make sure to keep the same bass m8.  :)

[paultaite]

Hahah!! Too kind man, thats for that !! Paul

[dizzyisme]

i love this song!!! and the bass is incredible. it MAKES the song. great job, and i love mike dirnt!

[paultaite]

I know ... such an awesome bass line, Mike makes the best basslines !!!! hope he's going to go back to his roots for the next Green Day album!!!

[beatboyb]

Again Man..youre amazing...after stuck with me...this was the other song I wanted to watch u playing! you rock paul! :D I have many Green day drums covers

[paultaite]

[beatboyb]

[rachael4alexevans]

i always wanted to play bass but i dont know if i would be able to, i would be happy if i was even half as good as u are

[Godzilla614]

i dont like using picks i prefer using my pointer, middle and thumb

[rosko123]

Good cover, nice bass dude. what do you use to record this.

[joedeevey]

Wat bass amp do you use?

[paultaite]

Just to let everyone know that my band has a 'YouTube' page now, if you click on my profile page - then click on the album playlist. Hear it, and then download it free if you like it !! :D Please !! :D Thanks for the great comments everyone, Paul.

[yogurtss]

es un fender??

[rodrigovallejos2007]

You are a fucking amazing man =D

[paultaite]

Haha!! this is probably the coolest comment i've ever got, thanks man!!!! Paul

[whatsername0208]

awesome!

omg i want a bass. please. :3

[thepunksimao]

Im not bashing his skills... but ok, you like it, i like it, lets keep it that way! I was just stating that the tab hes using is not correct, nothing more, nothing less

[thepunksimao]

And you don't need to be a jackass. I was just stating the truth, not bashing his playing (in fact, i praised it). Just read what i said.

When i get my new bass im gonna do a cover of this song with the corrected tab, and you will get it ;)

[seeDerekNow]

Don't get so defensive. You claimed his tabs were 'all wrong'. So what if it is? It sounds just fine the way he plays it. I personally don't care if it's played only on the 1st 6 frets or not.

No need to bother covering this song because I'm not gonna watch it. This guy's cover is good enough for me.

[seeDerekNow]

Great cover dude! Such a fun and catchy bass line.

[paultaite]

Thanks for the cool comments man!! nab a copy of me bands free album if you'd like to hear some original stuff *shameless plug* haha ... also awesome scooter stuff, wow! all the best, Paul

[Lukania]

Cool, I Have The Same Bass, But I Play Funk, lol. Flexible Bass

[AAADcell]

The guitar part isn't as good as the bass in this song. I think that in SR the bass really is the base.

[CFFDan]

nice gun

whered ya get it

[norwayking2]

this bassline shows that green day ain't as simple as people want them to be.

[bassamabunasser]

bj has that guitar

[thepunksimao]

Sorry to say but your tab is all wrong. Search ultimate guitar for a better one please. You are playing down the neck, but he plays only the first 6 frets. And in one bit you dont even play it!

BTW you are a great bass player, just find another tab

[seeDerekNow]

That's why it's called a 'cover'. It doesn't have to be played exactly note-for-note. He's a musician, not a trained monkey.

[rileysmiley143]

well done

[brazuka101053]

the greatst bassist, drummer, guitarrist and singer of you tube sould get together to make some kick ass covers, oh and, AWESOME!

[Hoppusisgod]

is that the dirnt signature bass?

[phanhuybach14]

No it isn't,but Mike has the same bass as paultaite's bass,it called Stella

[ICY95]

but mike has a tortoise pickguard on his

[StanleyC24]

and a star.

[ICY95]

he has a star on his bass that he used on american idiot...but not stella...

[AAADcell]

Lol. The bassist in the Daft Punk movie (Interstella 5555) is called Stella.

[DEFGI]

nice bass, great song! green day own

[mithachan]

wow awesome!

[Haushinka93]

Awesome!

[xFromFateToRomancex]

Greenday's awesome to play along to. The bass is always so clear.

[Pocky60]

C'est ma chanson préféré de Green day et j'adore la basse dans cette chanson donc j'aime ta vidéo , bien joué !

[paultaite]

Je vous remercie beaucoup de Paul :D

[enjoythesummer92]

a tu les tabs de paper lanterns jai jamai pu la trouver

[novassault]

You've got a lot of talent dude, keep it up.

[vintagebottles]

just wondering why you didnt play it the way mike does live, like instead of 5th fret on E, just an open A and so forth.

[paultaite]

Personally, I notice a lot more bottom end from the 'fretted A' rather than the 'open A'.

But thats just my opinion, also you have the advantage of not having to worry about muting the ringing open string if its not supposed to be ringing. Thanks for the comment

[vintagebottles]

thats a good point, and since your not "dirnting" it up by having a spaz attack it works out the same, great job though man ive been working on this song for a few days now, its really fun to play

[Krylov79]

You layed that down brilliantly, I totally agree with what you said there

[paultaite]

Thanks! :D

[oooXXXRADXXXooo]

Freakking love this song its great

bass was great =D xx

[milosantodeoro]

you are good :)

Green Day, the best! :D

[Goatnosta]

I was just curious as to what kind of camera you were using...great quality!

oh and fantastic job on the song!

[paultaite]

Thanks!! I just use my external apple iSight camera! Paul

[chaz903]

i like it lots

[douglashell]

that is wrong... good effort though.. although you have pointed out something i had been doing wrong..

[paultaite]

glad to be of service

[phanhuybach14]

sounds so good !

Love fender

You are 2nd mike dirnt!

[y8sroxx]

good job i would never touch a fender if

it wasnt a strat

or a bass guitar though

[paultaite]

Good call! I've always thought strats look awesome, wonder what the appeal is of the tele ... *thinks*

[Beisso]

Congratulations Man!

You Rock

[TheCommentsGuys]

fender or squier

[paultaite]

Fender

[TavoLacost]

I'm bassist, great sound, great bass (my next purchase) and great song!

Greatings from Italy and L.A.Cost!

[paultaite]

Hi TavoLocost!! Thanks for the comment, and great sounding covers on your site, thanks

[lanta666]

wow ur really good

[paultaite]

Thanks!!! too kind!! I've got the tab for the song on here if you want to play it, its alot easier than it looks this song.

[Scarface066]

Nice bass! Where'd you get it? How much did it cost?

[paultaite]

Hey, its just your run of the mill white standard p-bass with a black pickguard

[lonewolf604]

wow i always thought the only good bass riff by mike dirnt was longview and a couple others

[paultaite]

I know what ya mean, I always loved the bass in this song, thanks for the comment!

[bubblydude]

ur well good, i would let u b in my band coz i play guitar (i can play the whole dookie album btw, and more...) and a drummer but no bass

[ilikeggreenddayy]

ur good at sassafras roots, i practilicly learnd how to play it from u

[paultaite]

Hey thanks!! glad I could help in some way, I love that song!

[Santiss2006]

You play very well!

 how many years U've been playing for¿?¿? bye,

[Santiss2006]

U play bass very well! How meny years U been playing for???

[paultaite]

Hey thanks! I've been playing for 6 years!!

[Santiss2006]

Hey! That bass is very similar to Mike's one. Draw a star on it.

[paultaite]

Hmmm!!! Yeah, I think his is a 51' re-edition or something, star on it would be sweet!

[dirtydeeds73]

hey! i got an idea for u and ur bass! get a black marker and draw a star over the bridge and it'll look like a signature mike dirnt p-bass.... that is if it's a p-bass

[paultaite]

Yeah its a P-bass! Thats a good idea with the star, not sure if I trust myself drawing it tho!!

[dirtydeeds73]

lol but one more thing, he has a skull with crossbones behind the pickups... im guessing you couldnt draw that either lol

[boludo7719]

cool bass its ramones style

[Pocky60]

J'aime bien , bravo mec , ouai je parle français t'as vu , tu comprends pas hein ?

héhé ...

Non je trouve ça cool franchement ;)
