[Saggrisch]

Awesome awesome tone, man. Amazing job!

[krazyzark]

awesome job. was kinda disappointed the guitar solo wasn't included, but it's understandable if they didn't sound as quality as this. beautiful work.

[dr4g0n136]

i could say u play good. But i have to say u are AWSOME bro, gratz!

[dudufrechiani]

U saw the hole video, but did u see his bass has no head?

[FreshApplePieOnXBL]

One of my neighbours is a preacher in America, he saw you on an open mic and I remember taking about having played with you.

I don't remember his name, but he said he's never heard anyone play bass like you.

[Zander4724]

@FreshApplePieOnXBL

That's awesome. Thanks!

[seedot47]

epicosity

[Ricovette]

Awesome!

[sitr2119]

The dislike button in this video was given by mistake I assure you.

[junolavo]

Bonito.



[kyral210]

Makes me wish I bought a Jazz Bass rather than my Precision...

[agb222]

Increible!! Muy bonito cover!!!

[colosalblack]

That is amazing.

[credoutintellegam1]

Angelic.



[ChanceC5]

Man that was incredible. :-i Kudos to you sir.

[ireallylikecomputers]

your songs are really goood. And your covers sound very very good.

i like that you do different covers.

Like all of your covers are a bit different Like your classical covers. WELL DONE!

YOU ROCK!!!!!

[ireallylikecomputers]

Whoa

the reverb sounds sweet!

what Revrb is that???

[MrHullboy12]

Haha this guy taught me maths in year six and we always used to write maths songs! your awesome Zander!! :D

[Tyfooo1]

Ive got to say, you are one of the best bass players I have seen, You are up there with John Myung and Geddy Lee, What type of strings would you recommend for tapping? I have a 6 string schecter and can buy any type you recommend.

[Zander4724]

@Tyfooo1

thank you and thanks to everyone else for their kind words as well!

when it comes to tapping, i think the most important thing is that you have low action. it makes tapping much easier.

[theinsanemusician]

@Zander4724 So... what is your action on this bass?

[Timmy4pawz]

@Tyfooo1 Low action, and I'm assuming he's using light gauge piccolo strings

[VideoMask93]

@Timmy4pawz Yes, he's stated other places that he uses piccolo strings, which is how he gets the high notes on his bass.

[JerichoHanley]

22 dislikes? I'll be back, I need 22 magnum rounds.

[marxcelious]

exelent Colleague!. Saludos from Argentina

[Theseventhknight]

What reverb are you using?

[Rusl2006]

I'm in awe.

[TheMartini1234]

At the start I decided I would learn this by ear and transcribe it so I can do it for my final bass music exam thing in year 12. After like 10 seconds I changed my mind :/

[iraniandrummer97]

Am i the only thinking why the hell people like 'lady gaga' and 'katy perry' call themselves musicians when a dude, this good, talented and AMAZING is stuck putting videos on youtube and not being put on the radio with a $15 Million record deal?

[TheJazzgeek444]

I'm not so sure about this one... o.O

[zBarThoLomeWz]

Boner.

[barisaxrulz]

Grammar Nazi's of America brought me here! -Greg.

[catassassinstudio]

Grammar Nazi's sent me.

[mikeesopski]

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) Mr. Zander, Y U NO GET MANY VIEWS?!

[fabella87]

normalnie zamknęłabym go w klatce :D

[Chewbacca651]

That was beautiful man, I really love what you're doing with that bass. Have you done any solos just slapping?

[deathconceal1]

O_O Whoa, that's insanely awesome bro. I must have tabs, PLEASE!

[WeLikeRockNRoll]

fucken awesome

[coreytheartist]

Now 22 people have to buy their way to heaven. Not me, I just have to listen!

[Mattypie1337]

Amazing...just amazing.

[thecreeper815]

Any tabs or sheet music please? I want to learn this beautiful piece, but have no means of transposing it myself, nor any idea where to start.

[alis4311]

@thecreeper815 Check the guitar tab, and "just" play along :P

[thecreeper815]

@alis4311 You do realize that won't work? My bass isn't a six string, so I can't reach the higher notes that are needed. Nor is the tab similar to his cover [separate tunings, his combines bass/guitar lines, etc.]

[alis4311]

@thecreeper815 Well I didn't mean, necessarily play along with what it says on the guitar tab. But If you've got a reference for the melody etc. It makes playing along quite a bit easier.

[jimmyhoffasbrother]

@thecreeper815 But he's playing a four string. Just in an unusual tuning that he mentions in the description.

[TheMartini1234]

@thecreeper815 He uses piccolo strings, which are a light gauge, so they're an octave higher- he's not playing as high as he sounds. As well as that, he uses an alternate tuning (not sure which- sorry). If you wanted to play the guitar part on bass, you can always just read the tab and drop the notes on the high e and b strings down a string and up 5 frets. So 2nd fret on b string- 7th fret on g string. Open e string- 10th fret on g string. If you want the tab for the opening bit, you can pm me.

[wullybhoy88]

@TheMartini1234 or just learn guitar

[TheMartini1234]

@wullybhoy88 :/ this is very different to the guitar version, obviously. If he wanted to play it on guitar I doubt he'd have bothered asking about this.

[Vidzaboutstuff09]

Better than the original

[VuTraMy123]

how could you do that :|

[halo2846x]

Guitar->BAss!

[TierneyXxXAddiction]

[thomascatlett555]

[Protaholyadin]

HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS?!

[Oswah]

@Protaholyadin mmmm the only thing I could think of, is that it doesn't sound like a bass?? It's beautyful but it sounds too much like a guitar, is it a piccolo bass??

[IronEngineer]

@Protaholyadin Jealousy

[KevinReC82]

20 people not can win on bass in this with his guitar!

[mrCHLENSSS]

AMAZING AMAZING  AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hallootjesful]

people in china watch out, my chin is coming your way

[kixxxter]

He's so good he's no longer playing bass. He has transformed that "bass" into some entirely new guitar/bass/piano hybrid instrument!

[TheTyelland]

You are the best dude! I showed my mum and she showed all her friends and they cried. Phenomenal song...but your cover is better!

[Maggot2607]

Steinberegers dont have headstocks

[cranen167]

[jellyjugs69]

[hugopelle]

@jellyjugs69 loved the "with another person"

[DannyJ555666]

you are one of the best bassists ive seen yet. i listen to metal, but this is beautiful.bassists unite

[Rushmore222]

Just a gorgeous performance.

Sometimes an artist just forces you to enjoy the beauty.

[XCoConutProductionsX]

lol anyone else notice the top of his bass is gone? o.O

[sototheone1]

wow bro

[123shansun]

Hey Zander .....Apollo called!! and He wants you to teach him ..

(FYI.. Apollo is a greek God)

[myke336]

Dude you should totally make a cover of the song "Breezy" from Final Fantasy VIII by Nobuo Uemetsu. You got crazy talent with the bass. I've been playing for years and i'm not nearly as good as you, keep it up man, I'm subbing.

[RandomSmileyStudios]

@kaithelonechampion See the nobs on the bottom of his guitar Strings? im pretty sure its thouse things

[ggiorgoss12]

So.... F*cking cool...

[PennybagDarrell]

Holy shit that was amazing!!

[hesitation24]

[hesitation24]

totally hooked

[DameEdithDivine]

Heavenly

[GauffreTueuse]

Impressive

[jpdel31]

floatin on fingers

[genypig]

Very nice, its rare to see a good bass guitarist who DOESNT have a big main on his head and looks like a rockstar just because he obtained a guitar, kind of stereotypical, but its noticalbe! I think being able to play by hear is one of the best things there is to music.

[LUKEmasterfret]

must be thin ass strings

[ttmproductions666]

where did u learn it.or tell me a site that could teach me it....thanx..... please answer

[Canteu04]

I'm like a child wielding a crayon compared to this artist weilding a brush.

[acidviper13]

My fingers are so inferior, that I feel ashamed to use them to type a comment on your video.

Damn you, my fingers. :(

[asdfgh6asdfgh]

[Akanewah]

[bvbpunk111]

[mrshortstuffTV13]

[visog]

Needs more reverb

[frankhoorigan]

COME TO POLAND!!!

[headlessLLAMA]

Very nice interpretation of the song! And don't listen to the people who say otherwise!

[VanDalgyonTheDark]

i abused the replay button

[magoth1]

wao

[x1te]

You might as well be playing a 4 string guitar, but well done regardless.

[Shilinsky]

AWESOME !!!, ... one question, how did you tune the bass for this song ?, do you mix piccollo strings with normal strings ? btw, that bass sounds Beautifull !!!

[AxozOfDeth]

i always wanted to make a cover for it in bass but i failed , your amazing !

[jvmc08]

its so good that it seems fake

[ChazyChaz5]

I love this song, I love your cover, I love your sound..but I don't like the bass without a headstock..it's my opinion and I don't want to offend you ;)

[FeralArtist]

@ChazyChaz5 Really? I like it without the head

[ChazyChaz5]

@FeralArtist I like the bass but I miss the head :D It looks like they forgot it :D

[jacofan157]

holy shit this is amazing

[PeterLtdRg]

Amazing!!

[RoOdKoP61]

i loved it but i want a tutorial on the low notes only, can you do that? I really need it.

[mindbodylightsound10]

i'd hardly call this a "bass". get real. your sound is so digital it sounds more like a synthesizer imitating a classical guitar.

[jsn167]

@mindbodylightsound10 it sounds nothing like any guitar

[Jurkoci999]

can y send tabs ?

[Brian19451]

What the tuning?

[abufender]

Great work dude...5 star!

[RCAvhstape]

Awesome! Great skills, man. Was kinda' hopin' for the fast part of the song, but I guess that might be tough without the drums.

[hoygans]

I think it sounds better than the original. You have some serious skills dude. 

[saumonnn]

its very good impressive and beautiful but i have just on problem with this ... your bass doesnt sound like a bass i mean i doesnt not sound 2 octave lower than a guit it sound the same as a guitar .. but well thats just my opinion

amazing work and playing im sub :)

[leviux]

@saumonnn piccolo bass

[saumonnn]

@leviux i didnt know abouth those +1 octave strings ! :'O

can u slap on them ? lulz

[dreamrider987]

with out a head stock how do you tune it?

[FlavoredDeath]

@dreamrider987

There's knobs on the bottom.

(Next to where the strap would go.)

[tommy868]

@dreamrider987 the tuning machines are on the end of the bridge

[panitaspty507]

so amazing 10 stars 4 you

[nerdlish]

is there any difference between a headed and headless bass sound-wise?

[zinnerzero]

how come it sounds so guitar-like??? are you using thiner strings???

[TomazYellandZ999]

brilliant, phenomenal, great! u are a great guitarist!

[HeyItsCoop]

THUMBS UP if this guy is AMAZING and is an inspiration to all of us bass players out there.

[TheTrackstar6]

@HeyItsCoop not a bass player but i love listening to bass, saving to buy my own on day

[Luukeeeehh]

@HeyItsCoop i'm not even a bassplayer, and its still inspires me XD

[TheTyelland]

great, phenomenal, stupendously good! WELL DONE! you are an amazing guitarist. from t****s yelland . you are great.... i didn't know you were on youtube until a***e told me

[TheTyelland]

great, phenomenal, stupendously good! WELL DONE! you are an amazing guitarist. from t****s yelland . you are great.... i didn't know you were on youtube until a***e told me

great, phenomenal, stupendously good! WELL DONE! you are an amazing guitarist. from t****s yelland

[TheTyelland]

great! brilliant! phenomenal! you are a brilliant guitarist!

[Brucy6666]

he has a disabled bass

[gleventhal]

It looks like a 4 string but those notes are way high, whatt's the story with that? Are you using some ultra thin strings with an alt tuning? Or are there more than 4 strings?

[labgnat]

@gleventhal It appears to be strung as a piccolo bass. all 4 strings are an octave higher than a regular bass, it's great for solo bass playing as this gentleman is displaying.

[PMDJabkmm]

@gleventhal he's using D'addario piccolo bass strings and either (i think) mobius software reverb or a GT-10B

[PMDJabkmm]

@gleventhal he's using D'addario piccolo bass strings and either (i think) mobius software reverb or a GT-10B with an altered tuning (c'mon, look at the description, please)

[greenbeaner69]

no head on the bass? wow

[TheBassGirl21]

really nice :)

[Peace39412]

your really good!

:)

[Gr8testMuzic]

I love listening to this song, too. It's different from "Epic Love" and it would need more views.
