Give It Away Bass Cover

[spooner113]

You use your fingers the exact same way I do.

Great cover.

[PINKFLOYDROCKNROLLER]

that bass is so sexy

[grzana2429]

Feel the music...

You just stand there, looking like an idiot, playing like a girl man, its rhcp, jump, feel the music, play in more agressive way!

[morennus]

Você é bom baixista,mas seu baixo está desafinado na corda RÉ....abraços!!!!

[Muttisgod]

good job ! really

[RHCP1231]

very good...!

[Josephdorf03]

love that bass. I'm a Fender J player too sometimes the lack of frets just irritates me. I'd like to get a 24 model.

[mononasaso]

YEAH XD

[ToguroKun]

I freaking love your shirt!!!! XDDD

Mine's logo of the RHCP is falling apart! O.o

[osvaldobajocjon]

shut up  haters....... you did a good job

[bleaker84]

chill people its a cover

[jOeynaiKiKoul]

yo well done

if you like RHCP songs take a look at the EVERGREEN SPUTI SHIT covers :)

[sk8r2714]

not bad ur pretty good

[HockeyFanNick]

Everyone is so fuckin' critical.

I like how there are no video responses of people doing it better...

[lowdownbasschick]

Yes you are very right people shouldn't be so critical when they themselves don't even have a video out. What I said about him was just an observation of how the song actually goes. I hope he wasn't offended by just that because his playing is awesome in my opinion. I subscribed to him because I felt I could learn from him. I am sure when I get a video out of this song people will tear me up! it is just part of youtube but there is that really nice delete button. LOL...

[Jeremymunn19]

just so you know there is actually no slapping in the song he just plucks the strings really just look at any videos of flea playing it and youll see

[lowdownbasschick]

Thats what I thought but it seems to be argued alot. I have a RHCP book that shows this song as a slap song. I don't play it that way though.

[Keskin1975]

Wrong/missing notes and wrong timing, you guys don`t have to ecourage him when there is still alot of work to do.

This song seems easy but it`s not, the variations and the timing is hard and it`s even harder to make it groove and feel right.

Get some good tabs and figure out the right variations for yourself because theyre hard to find in tabs.

[lowdownbasschick]

I dont mean to be a jerk at all but there are a lot wrong parts. The low end of the riff does not linger the last note like the higher end. And this song has slap in it. Still sounded good though...Sorry I have studied the hell out of this song, only reason I notice little things.

[lowdownbasschick]

although I said this is a slap song I don't do it myself. According to a published version of the song anyway. I have never seen flea do it.

[pieprzna]

No wrong notes

[XXMRMCCONEXX]

look at 3.09 hehe

[unicursalhex]

arghh

[StantonDJJoker]

put some funk into it and you should get it down

[funkiamcharlie]

cool man! funkya

[dominik198162]

what about the deadnotes ? did you hear of them ?

[Fischanked]

hey can u send me the tab for this, cause all the sites i've found have the slide part way off

[InternalInstinct]

Man, when you cover flea's stuff, you gotta jump around n' shit lol jk man, good job!

[olooj]

kl thats good man is it possible to have the tab for that please... :)

[onceagian]

Damnit move around during the video and smile god damnit ur on the internet

[goneskateboarding]

who the fuck smiles when the play an instrument??? its about concentration, sure you COULLD smile if you want to but theres no need to

[onceagian]

no wants to just see somethere look angry while they are playing its the most fucking boring thing ever

no offence

[eerieyellowlights]

dude, why wouldn't you smile? a good smile shows you're confident... and in case you didn't notice, looking confident is half the battle

[goneskateboarding]

show me a video where flea is straight up smiling for an entire song or set... he might give a little smirk to anthony or john to let them know hes feeling it but most of the time hes just jamming and concentrating, not worrying about his appearance, you shouldnt let that carry your performance let the energy do that

[eerieyellowlights]

flea brings a different energy, but an energy none-the-less. this guy is just standing there like a turd. maybe smiling isn't always the best, but show some energy... comon.

[dontyougetitidiots]

Yes because flea is king of bass playing and everyone should act, play and think like him.

[goneskateboarding]

thats besides the point dipshit, i was using him as an example, show me ANY bassist who is just plain cheesing while they are playing, victor wooten, wes claypool, john entwistle, ANYBODY... i know i dont ALWAYS smile when im playing

[dontyougetitidiots]

Again, you are making the assumption that the bassist in the video WANTS to be clone of the bassists you listed.

There's is no RIGHT WAY to act while playing an instrument, Everyone has THEIR thing, Me? I keep my trap shut except when singing but I don't try to advocate that EVERYONE should do this, unlike you.

I don't see why you find it such a problem.

...Calling people dipshit on the net... I laughed.

[goneskateboarding]

what are you even talking about? i never said he should act like any of those musicians. if you look at the comment i replied to, eerie's the one saying this kid needs to be smiling while performing as it somehow reflects confidence. you're just supporting my argument...

[yankovic44]

To me, bass is a very physical instrument. the song was weak because of how you played it, Try pushing that bass harder.

[motobassplayer17]

ur kinda out of tune!

[PPKLU]

bass out of tone?

[143135bats]

man you need to add a little bit of shit head bang moves...

[stickmotion182]

nice!! just sayin' but i have the the book but for some reason i think its wrong (not bashin' urs) i think u played the song beatuifly and it was 10000000000000% correct!!!!!

[yankovic44]

Nice! i love your fender, nice tone and for that model, a very good slap

[soadladymali]

Nice ! <3

[Mikalonius]

bass' got a nice sound to it, good job

[reelbigbass]

nice bass dude what is it?

[pugi87]

ué cretino..vara che le sbagliata

[Awsomeness14]

verse is wrong

[guns1rose]

nice

[CRYST2SHELL]

man, if you gone play the bass you gotta add some sole to that, you can't just strum at that you gotta play that mug. okay attempt but it's missing something. I cain't feel that sh...

[ramon709]

it isnt played with balls enough, thats whats missing. needs more agression in it.

[guadelupe]

to jakewalker1-

on the verse, you play the open A string (with some C's thrown in), slide up to the E (14th fret) on the D string, then the G (12th fret) on the G string. On the bridge, you play the open E (with some G's thrown in), slide up to the E (12th fret), then play the G (10th fret) on the A string.

I hope I was some help

[fleaexpression]

your playing the verse wrong

[timj012]

your missing the slide at the chorus. other than that its great.  its a hard note to land

[landfill2]

u almost look like a young flea.

[mitchdebom]

its really nice man keep playing like this =P

[Mel0019]

hey thanks man (the guy in the video) thank you for posting this!! i learned a great song......and do you have a distortion pedal thing?

[redead12]

dude 24 frets kick ass

[newkindofcrazy]

Not bad. Not enough t oimpress anybody, especially because it wasn't slapped.

[Basswarwick]

...its not slapped by flea either dude

[dimitri989]

was that meant to be a joke or something?

[travman102]

dude slapping shouldnt be done to impress ne1 its just another playing style

[newkindofcrazy]

Sorry, I had been the one playing it wrong, lol. But anyway, I do think it was pretty good, but it just didn't sound right to me some reason...

[biscaryyellowmonster]

OWNED

[newkindofcrazy]

What the hell? I posted the 7 months ago fucktard.

[virtualrockband2]
