@simcHyt Nope, cliff wrote very intricate parts, but a lot of them are fucking muted because their studio technician was a fucknut, but as for their new bassist(s), yea... they suck...
@richogem - I've actually never changed the nut. Always seems fine as-is. If you're making a permanent tuning change, then it would probably be a good idea, but it has never seemed necessary for me.
@nounahossam - About 13 years now. Listen to as much music as you can, and keep working at it! Getting started is always the hardest part, so just stick with it.
After watching this...I realised that the bass is such a great and hard to play instrument. Only talented people can play it, Just like you GBagley ! You are the best bassist on YouTube (except for Cliff ) sorry, but he is just the King. :)
I am Pondering here, Jugding my the way he moves his Hands, im thinkin it is Jason, he not showin face, Just Kiddin, Great JOB Man, Excellentaaaaa!!!!!!
@cursedswordsman - For the 'spider riff' (around 0:45)? Yeah, it's a weird pattern for the right hand. I do it (the 3 note groupings are on the E -> E -> A strings, and the 4 note groupings are E -> E -> A -> A strings) M I M , M I M , M I M , M I M , M I M I , (and then it reverses) , I M I , I M I , I M I , I M I , I M I - so you play middle -> index on the E string, then middle on the A string and then keep the middle finger raking back down to the E string. Kinda hard to explain..
that bass is sick man, it's not like PERFECT, but sheesh, most basses get way too muddy when you're on the low end and goin fast! I see you do a lot of metal/rock. Would you say that bass can handle other styles like pop, reggae, funk, etc. as well is it is with the heavy stuff?
Me and a friend have been in a metal band for 2 years and we just recently got a singer and a bassist. Even though we have been around for 2 years now, we just started to get "real." We are very serious about touring the states or even going on world tours someday. It would mean a lot to us if you would just take 3 seconds to just go to facebook, search for "Perfect Formula" and simply click on "Like." Thank you for your support!
I don't know if someone had asked this or not, but do you play in a band or do you just play for yourself? you're so great that you should play in front of thousands
This just got more and more impressive as it went on! Harmonics, crazy fingering and sweep fingering - who knew! What notes are the five strings tuned to btw?
que pendejo estas! o tocas la parte del bajo o la guitarra motherfucker! suck my fucking dick.
