A while back I tried this song (several months ago) and I thought it was a nightmare (Too poor for bass lessons :P), and now the solo doesn't seem so hard ... Still need to practice it a bit, but now I just have to work on making my arm not get sore from playing this and a few other relatively hard songs (this one seems to be the most troublesome for me only since I'm actually learning it this time). :)
@TheBassDude1000 You can easily search "Slap Bass Lesson on youtube or google" but it still takes awhile to get used to, first step is to find where on the bass you can make the sound well, I'm good in the mid, between the pickups and frets, some people are better closer to the frets, and others behind the pickups. Then focus on using your wrist and not resting the slap thumb on the string and take it off to let it ring
no style, your tone is as stail as a white cracker from the civil war, and your timing in the solo was way off, and were you watching a video of flea trying to copy his performance
@MrGinasferrazza your rudely ignorant for your comment. style is dictated by whomever is playing and perceived by those watching. he has plenty of style and plenty of tone. its a music man bass!! in fact, i was GOING to comment on the awesomeness of his tone before i saw this laughable comment. get a life you pessimistic excuse of a human being.
@MrGinasferrazza He can copy Flea like no one can. While you just leave faggot comments on youtube. haha clearly, you are the loser. What else can u do than leave a hatred comment..
Dude u are awesome.. i totally love the way you play the bass with feeling and love Flea would be proud .. much respect to you - would love to jam and rock out some funky licks with you .. keep it up always and come to Australia hahaha :)
yo that was sick shit, you write any songs with a band with some groovey bass? cuz its one thing covering a song, but then improvising it is the nest level XP you got some sweet shitt goin, octaves all the way!
ton jeu est super , a rien a dire , mais ta petite dance a 1:11 me rapelle le passage de la série Malcolm , quand le petit Dewey dansait en chantant pou pou pou ^^
well done, but seriously try doing Mr. Bungle shit. Trevor Dunn is on another level from Flea
