The Power of Equality slap solo- Chili Peppers [Bass Lesson]

[musicians2011]

these is the part that flea uses a q tron pedal?

[ReadyAimDuck]

Nice erm... "Lesson"

[IIIIIFLEAIIIII]

sound of this bass is awesome..how pickup have this bass?Seymour Duncan or Lane Poor or Bartoliny?

[TBoneMontana]

thats not quite how Flea plays it but mabye thats the point its boring too mimic

[dillydean]

everyone shut the fuck up! he knows it is he dosnt need trolls telling him every single comment

[sumapumaSHOW]

thats not a lesson. bvut amazing

[marrascoyta]

you are very good men

[toffirhcp]

Wrong !

[chjohnst]

this is wrong

[AlvaroBassSide]

is wrong ;)

[bassduderater]

hey dick hole u suck shit

[LUKAS327]

this is totally wrong... i find that odd since most of ur vids are great =/

[lalaosd]

wrong, sounds cool tho

[SkateTS808]

WRONG!

[girlbassist]

all of your other tutorials sound spot on, but this one doesn't sound right to me. if it's the bass part played on the outro, i believe flea basically just holds the octave position, keeping the pinkie stationary, and sliding the index finger a whole step.

[lalaosd]

yeaahh its wrong.. :S

[Tooltrocity]

This is the solo from the end of the song, not the one with the effects in the middle.

[mastroplay]

isn't the solo at the end of the song, cause that solo is a lot different

[JonnyFlea]

Neither that solo man! This is only really wrong...

[abhay108]

wow this is the first bassline that i have heard from this guy's covers that is not completely octaves

[hughesman3]

I hardly ever comment on correcting people cause I see alot of talented people on here but...thats not how to play it.

Sounds good tho

[serbinator69]

this one dosent sound anything like the solo

[bassman959]

it sounds better than the solo

[serbinator69]

ooh wait is this the solo at the end of the song or around the middle of the song when he sues that underwater effect?

[bassman959]

its the outro

[serbinator69]

ok it sounds good then

[LinkJV]

Modulus :p

[bbopadoe]

Its not even a bass lesson its a couple seconds of a song

[girlbassist]

You're supposed to watch and learn, so yeah, it is a lesson. Also, he clearly identifies that it's only a section of the song (slap solo) in the title.

[Tobot16]

your supposed to click on the description, follow the link and it will give you tabs and also a slowed down version of the solo so you can play along with the tab

[asianaxeman]

oh hell yeah! awesome

[GalacticBoss]

wow how you do that???

[jamalbass86]

great good work plizz can u tel me what effect do u use to get this sond

thx

[dudelike89]

It's called a bass.

[k0stil]

XDDDDDD

[bassfreako]

It's difficult to figure out the exact riff, cause the bass is distorted. But thanx to some people in youtube, there's the master track of Flea's bassline, which tottaly proves wrong the riff above!!!

Check it out:Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Power of Equality (Bass Master Track)

[fritsprisse]

Poppyto dude! Take notice that I really like your bass and the way you treat and play it! But... playing this line you're wrong; sounds like you didn't listen close enough to this great song man! I think

you should string-mute at the right time in this part of the song. Bye!

[blistix61]

yeah it may be wrong notes but he is right in the rhythm

the groove in number one for me

niice job dude

[cartamas]

hey dude! gimme your modulus! :P

[wang222]

that's not right at all. i'm sorry...lol. i'm a die hard rhcp fan and player and no where inthe song does that part occur. sorry bro...

[alexowain]

This is the outro for all the people who think it's wrong this is correct if you want proof of it sounding good listen to davidsinrocks cover of it he does this and it sounds right so gr8 video poppyto really helped me

[dansnadden]

die hard chilis fan.... go listen from 3:40...

[kablooey]

wang222 is right!! this part is wrong, it sounds like it but it's the wrong notes!! close tho!!

[wang222]

thanks kablooey!! haha. yeah i know which part this guy is trying to play, and the rhythm is right, the notes are just wrong.

[Bassini007]

ehm sorry but you guys really need to look it up, this bassline is incorrect. listen to the studio version, or live at slane.

[MightySaxKid]

That's the outro. It's kind of like a bass solo at the end so there's two bass solos! I've been trying to figure out this part anyway! Merci!

[zaksnaporaz]

are you sure about the notes ? it sounds different from the original, but it sounds good !

Also, what's the pickup on your modulus, a lane poor or something else ?

[steflea156]

Wrong

[conro113]

kool...

are all these tabs correct??

[JoeNZam]

Just so you people know, flea plays this right at the beginning of the solo at the end. You can't really hear it cause you don't really notice it, but this is what it is. Good job.

[funkadelic1992]

that slap riff is soo bad!

[ilovejesus28]

WHAT STRINGS DO U USE!!!???

[poppyto]

D'addario

[JACF7427]

if you want kinda sounding like fleas bass. get boomers 45-105. they are the strings that flea has

$60 australian

[oatusmcflee]

d'addarios suck balls.

[ArkanePhantasm]

@poppyto what guage? 45-105?

[Sonor505]

Nice bass!!

[slikyle]

you play this slap part very clean which is rare. i always see sloppy slapped :|

. excellent technique there

[BrandonP2007]

your really good but this one ur playing wrong

[poppyto]

Yes I Know, I will re-record the true version next time ^^

[jjoel90]

sweet bass man. did u have to order that bass cause ive never seen a modulus ina store before?

[poppyto]

I bought it to a belgium guy ^^

[flundyin]

some guitar centers that are high end have mosulus's

like west LA

[Libanass]

from wich part of the song did u get that from?

[poppyto]

It's the bass solo just before the final bass/guitar part.
