nathan hughes — glove

[nathanhughes]

Hey! It's a carvin 5 string w/asymmetrical neck. The song does not use the b string at all, however. It was written on my 4.

[deege10]

Oh, and what bass is that? Sorry if thats been asked many times before

[deege10]

Where can i hear more of his stuff?

[sgcollins]

@deege10 nathan has a myspace page 'nathanplaysbass', and i found other links by googling 'nathan hughes bass'. i know he's busy raising a family now and might not be playing out too much.

[Tonnnny182]

[NazipunkTheThird]

This song fits exactly on my situation yet...

[sgcollins]

hi azfryguy (hope i spelled that right). there's no overdubbing, if that's what you mean. we recorded into a video camera, bass on one side, vocal mic on the other. the film is cut together from two or three different *takes* of the song, which kinda amazes me that he performed it so consistently over multiple takes. but the sound recording is not a multitrack overdub, it's from 2 channels on the camera. my friend jimmy jay and i shot it in 2000, i finally edited it in 2002.

[azfryguy]

Not to be a dick or anything and I hope I am wrong cause I have been a fan of this guy since I have seen this video. I think this song has two or three bass tracks. I know I am going to get flamed for this and people are gonna say "oh your just jealous!". Hell ya I am I can barley play bass a fraction as well as this man and talk. Again not trying to stir anything up.

[rodolforibas]

i believe its a standard 4x4... with maaaany breaks lol

[Trallino]

Amazing, wonderful, seems like the bass is talking, wonderful voice, wonderful song.. Is it possible to have tabs of this song?

[MrCayuga]

What time signature is that ?! Help! :)

[rodolforibas]

@MrCayuga i believe its a standard 4x4... with maaaany breaks lol

[zappa666999]

great bassist he truly is

[gogosyamaha11]

@zappa666999 Agree with you I

[LoLoAldrin]

It's an amazing work from all sides. From the musician who wrote an amazing song and from the crew who made a great video. THanks so much!

[OlgaZoubkova]

i get waves of goosebumps and shivers all over my body when i hear this.

Over and over again.

[OlgaZoubkova]

This is truly brilliant.

I am speechless.

[LordShagrath]

is there a guide on how to play this song? i cant figure out from the video :(

[turbofolkhater]

listen and you will know :D

[Bagamahama]

where can i download this video? great

[BMXunable]

Mr.Hughes at the top.. :)

[66Shogun66]

wow ^^

[VintersorgUmarth]

just great!!

[soulsocietyX024]

does anyone know the brand of his bass?

[sgcollins]

nathan is absolutely the booboo agogo! i wish he would come to amsterdam.

[celtriade]

amazing! only about 2.000 hits that's absolutly too less! genius!

[danfrost313]

Because this isnt the video that everybody looks at, everybody watches the first one that was uploaded. There is no need for this video to be up here

[sgcollins]

hi dan, re your remark about hughes' "glove" that "There is no need for this video to be up here" ... i just figured since i made this film i should add it to my youtube thing. the one ericlepoutre put up in 2005 now has over 523000 hits. i think my copy posted in jan 2009 has a slightly better temporal resolution. but even 30 fps isn't enough to capture nathan's playing.

[psychonavigator]

@danfrost313 Maybe you go chase down all of the other dupes on YT. Show em all what's what, eh?

[Petrasilchen]

just wow

[MyGFly]

Here is really a good idea in this song. And he is a very very good songwriter. Goog lirics.

[cassyusbomber]

wtf is him? is he even human?

[yukontc]

I love the fact that he combines Techniques from both the bass and the regular guitar. his chord progressions are really complex and he combines those with the slap and pluck of bass.

absolutly brilliant

[donnerdaumen84]

Great stuff!

[freekid247]

GLove - Must be a relatively emotional song for him.

[xXxa3gisxXx]

he is really good! an fast ;)

[ammaralnaeb]

isn't he the best bassist alive? for the sake of all those amazingly good techniques he uses?

[FleshStarvingBass]

@ammaralnaeb Nope.

[FleshStarvingBass]

@ammaralnaeb Check Ryan Martinie.
