Bass Tapping - Linus & Lucy Theme

[horriblequin]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL EPIC SONG!!! I LOVE CHARLIE BROWN!!!

[SaleGuy]

A bass has four strings, a guitar has six!

[nukebass]

@SaleGuy Well, maybe that's why it's called a Bass Guitar :-)

Nah, joking... in fact I use 2 more strings as a backup, just in case a couple strings break in the middle of a song.

[BassLifeOnChrist]

@nukebass i have been performing for years. never had a bass string break or seen one break.

[nukebass]

@BassLifeOnChrist In fact, I'm Edward Scissorhands.

[Jakeocide]

@SaleGuy however a six string bass is tuned to BEADGC and a guitar is tuned to EADGBE....

[leatherfacefan1974]

@SaleGuy they make 6 string basses -_-

[31Angmar]

@SaleGuy lol fool

[PicPantera]

How do you learn to play on this way? I have the teory that maybe you knwon to play piano??

[nukebass]

@PicPantera Actually not, I never played piano, just some chords to help me composing, but not playing at all. But I think tapping is kinda like playing piano sometimes. This way I'm playing is like a piano, but some ways of playing tapping aren't. You can tap the bass just melodically, not two simultaneous voices. There's a lots of "sub-techniques" inside Touchstyle ;-)

interesting

[2813Jasper]

[delu5i0n]

really well put together.

[Knutsen26]

check out guitarist, RYAN FORRESTER play his unique version of "Linus and Lucy"

[solidusreaper]

how much did you pay for that six string bro

[nukebass]

I paid, here in Brazil, about U$600. It's not hi-end stuff. Today it's a bit different from this video.. new finishing, new tuning machines, put monorail bridges, etc...

[kalvinise]

stuu hamms version is nice i like the tone of your bass tho its nice :)

[nukebass]

My tone? Oh, thanks! It's a bit "overchorused" but it's fine.. I'm glad you liked ;-)

Cheers!

[donldduck19]

[baphodeath]

[felipernani]

boa brother ! curti

[celtics951753]

wow wierd but cool sound

[neoalphatron]

I always liked that song. Im having my 7 string guitar customized to a fretless glass fingerboard and wonder what it would sound like on that! From the ear to the heart, you have a wonderful gift my friend.

[nukebass]

WOW! A GLASS fingerboard??? This is new to me :-) I really wonder how it would sound! But the visual must be marvelous! Please, when you get your new custom guitar, make a video and upload here in youtube. I got really curious! :-)

Thanks for your comments!

[aznhardboiledegg]

hey where did you get the notes for this? do you have any tabs by chance?

[nukebass]

It's based on Stu Hamm's version...

I just got it by ear ;-)

No tabs involved :-P

It's just an excerpt..

[aznhardboiledegg]

ooh noice dude.

have any tips how i should go about practicing?

i got both hands down but i cant play em together

[nukebass]

Get each part separately, but when you play them together, try to think as one voice.. one stuff! If you think this piece like a Piano piece, you'll have difficulties.

You'll find out that both parts are quite easy to play separately. But play them together is quite hard! That's why I advice you to think both parts as one only voice ;-)

When you get the trick, you'll play it very easily ;-)

[aznhardboiledegg]

alright thanks for the tips.

keep playing awesomely man

[nukebass]

Thanks for your comments buddy.. I'll make more videos as soon as I get a new camera ;-)

[da71pony]

[fractorial]

nukebass? How about you play "Impressions" for us!

I love your stuff on Musician War man, my handle on MW is "The Bass Between."

[nukebass]

Hi bassmate! Been a loooong time since I browsed Musician War for the last time :-) A couple years ago I think. And about playing "Impressions", yeah, good idea! But I need a new Sony Cybershot to make more videos :-)

[stereo123]

Muito bom, cara. Estava ouvindo o original do Vince Guaraldi aqui e resolvi fuçar no youtube pra ver quantos vídeos tinha dessa música. O seu é dos mais bacanas. Tem um de uns caras tocando uma versão bluegrass bem legal também.

[nukebass]

Obrigado cara! Adorei também os seus vídeos de stopmotion ;-) Principalmente aquele da Meia x Controle

[wingxi]

awesome work :)

[nukebass]

Thanks Hunter! More vids incoming... just need to clean out the rust on my fingers... been a long time without playing :-P

[Hunter623]

Yeah, Uh, Uberdude, Stu doesn't play six strings.

Great job Nukebass.

[nukebass]

ubercheese...

This theme is from Charlie Brown's cartoons, do you remember? Then Stu did a arrangement, and this video is myself playing this same theme ;-) So, it's me playing on this video.. not Stu :-P. BTW, Stu is a Great player (with capital "G")

[ubercheese]

thats not by nukebass.....Stuart Hamm did it

[nukebass]

Man, I would really appreciate a C. Stick donation from US bassmates :-D Heheh! It's damn hell expensive here in Brazil, and no luthier here It's know to had built one :-P I only know one person here in Brazil that have one... a bass player from São Paulo called Jorge Pescara. A Stick is on my dreams... if I had one I would quit playing bass guitar :-)

[sicksixsick01]

ud kick ass on a chapman stick dude

[pinkexperience]

hahaha.... CHARLIE BROWN!! SO SICK DUDE.

[notsopretty666]
