ChaotH playing WORDS from UNEXPECT

[zakkyummms]

WoW

[Vamp1ro101]

Damn dude, you are amazing bass player and I have to admit that UneXpect is already one of my favourite bands even tho I heard of it for the first time just about a month ago. Keep up the good work! ^^

[Axiome3]

Super video. J'espère qui en aura de plus! Personnellement, j'aimerais tellement voir Unsolved Ideas Of A Distorted Guest!

[SixStringMental]

You're a genius on the bass, and because of that, you're my favourite bassist. You guys blew me away in Toronto. Nice job on the newest album! Please inform us when UneXpecT is back in town. Thank you!

[RapistOfOrgy]

Is that Conklin?

[AttitudeCastle]

@RapistOfOrgy No, it's a Bee Bass

[phunkymonk131]

hey Chaoth, what do you think is the minimum number of strings needed to play this? Dou you think it would be possible to arrange it for a six string in standard tuning with some parts down an octave? or are you hitting the high strings too often?

[AttitudeCastle]

@phunkymonk131 If you move everything played above the high C down an octave I think it would just about be playable though you'd be inverting some of the chords and it would sound wierd but could be cool! I think the majority of this is playable on a 6 string, though the intro-y bit would probably be at least a 7 to sound similar BUT doable on a 6

[morado666]

Té un ostie de malade, trop hâte de vous revoir en show !!!

[Stilgar2]

My...god. Fucking amazing!!!

[Antipathiea]

Ingenious insanity!!! It was awesome seeing you and the rest of Unexpect live in Ottawa back in November, I'm still warped from the performance!!

[afroman1ish]

nice dreads

[MrSwac31]

@Chao7H could we get the TAB???

[krisdofernates]

great man!!.....really dig the sound of your bass as well as your playing .....

[nietzscheprime]

:D

[StefDels]

dit moi que tu donnes des cours de music! moi j'roche encore avec une 4strings...

[Saggrisch]

Just one thing: Thank you for your inspiring bass work. I hope to see you guys soon live here in Germany! Greetings and keep up!

[SeductiveBagel]

Dude... your hair...

[wisper6419]

Wow. That was great. The best 9 string I have found on youtube. All the othes just play the high end or mario brothers. I will now go find your album. Thanks!

[Apha666]

Unexpect est d'apres moi l'un des meilleurs groupe !!!

[music2012]

Nice head ornament, insane playing!

[EternalOsmosis]

"Unsolved Ideas of a Distorted Guest" or "Psychic Jugglers" next!? c:

[KCtheR3AP3R]

@Chao7H

Why do you put up 5 at 4:25, then 4, then 5 again?

[AttitudeCastle]

@KCtheR3AP3R He's signaling (as you can see his lips move too) he is counting out the number of beats the note is held for/the number of beats/counts rest

[KCtheR3AP3R]

@AttitudeCastle I understand that, I meant more along the lines of why is he telling us? haha

[AttitudeCastle]

@KCtheR3AP3R Might be to help himself, and just did it to the camera not to look odd, or maybe just as a nervous reaction?

[Nebelmond]

What's the name of the orchestral intro song?

[Apha666]

@Nebelmond : Unsolved Ideas of a Distorted Guest!!

[Nebelmond]

@Apha666 Thank you!

[Anavrin9]

Man you should upload some more of these. I really enjoy seeing how the bass part is played for these songs by the original writer, and not having to resort to the really amateur and half done covers that permeate youtube. XD

[Danzoc]

5 stars

[guitartrombone6]

Wow, you'd expect a 9 string 8 finger tapping bassist to be more flash, but instead the extra strings and technique actually made something I'd listen to more than once. This sounds fantastic. Its not all death metal shredding and riffing on the f# and b string like many extended range players. Well done.

[AttitudeCastle]

@guitartrombone6 Well there's no point in being an ERB player if you slug the F# and B half the time then blitz out as many and as high notes as possible! People could definitely learn from ChaotHs example!

[guitartrombone6]

@AttitudeCastle exactly

[AttitudeCastle]

@Chao7h

How do you have your 9 string tuned? F# - Bb? How much do you use the bottom string?

I'm thinking about getting an 8 string made you see and i'm trying to decide whether to just go for a 9 or how to tune it (for the pickups and nut you see i'd rather get them right first time!) And you use your 9 string beautifully!

[Chao7H]

@AttitudeCastle Yo Yo Wotup... Indeed... tuning is 'regular' Fsharp to Bb... all fourths all the way. I don't use the bottom string that often, I end up hitting it 4 or 5 times in a full hour of set. Thanks for the nice words and, make sure to get a bass your comfortable playing. If you see the use for the extra string, go for it.

[AttitudeCastle]

@Chao7H Thanks my man :) Means alot to get a reply! Thanks man, I guess if i'm unsure it's better have it and not use it then to not have it at all!

Thank you again :)

[AttitudeCastle]

@Chao7H Oh one last question! (Sorry!) After numerous listens to this and the album, the tone is just awesome. Who makes the pickups? Or are the Bee Bass house pickups? The bottom end is awesome!

[FlashCE]

Incredible musician and incredible band! I wish more guitar tabs existed for UneXpect because I'd really love to learn this style of music.

[TheFallen86]

Chaoth, you should teach bass on Bandhappy! I'd be happy to pay real money for some lessons, especially in the area of tapping

[rockapartie]

I would love to see you playing unsolved ideas ..., the bass on that track is pure awesomeness - especially from the "opera part" through the "crazy part" until this amazing variation of the chorus at the end! just wow.

[Kalopsia666]

You're probably the first person i've seen using a 9 string to actually enhance a song, rather than just showing off. Bravo sir.

[Chao7H]

@Kalopsia666 That's the best compliment ever... thanks much. That was the purpose to be honest. Using technique for the sake of music and not for the sake of technique.

[Daniel444]

oh please film Silence the parasite or Unfed pendulum!!

[MetalHeadBass666]

both you and Forest are two of the best bassists to analyze! everythings very crisp, cant wait to see more videos!

[SalajDarjan]

beautiful :)



[NinjaR1994]

i subscribed! :O

[MisterWilly]

this is my favorite bass video on youtube



[Chao7H]

Hey, Thank you all so much for the nice WORDS (yeah, I had to do it) but this video is really just about my hair...

So yeah, I might have another one coming. This is only a first, I will for sure put a couple more out either from UneXpecT's material or instructional shit... Requests and Ideas are welcome.

Love

-ChaotH

[cheesendfeltips]

@Chao7H would you even be able to play bass without your hair?

[Chao7H]

@cheesendfeltips I wouldn't... That is where my strenght resides... I admit.

[cheesendfeltips]

@Chao7H in that case i must get dreds! and a couple extra strings

[AttitudeCastle]

@Chao7H Do a lesson for this (at least the intro bit like up to the slapped part sort of bit) would be amazing. And a video like this and lesson if possible of Desert Urbania would be so cool :D

[qgloafhun]

@Chao7H Could you please put the tabs for this song up, or something like that?

[riccosushi]

@Chao7H As a bass player I would be amazingly happy if you posted any songs, instructional videos etc. Anything really. Your technique is astounding and your feeling and passion behind what you choose to play and create is amazing. Like someone else said, its awesome to see someone play a 9 and actually use it to its fullest and use it to help the music rather then show off. Kudos my friend.

[007mano1]

@Chao7H seriously, I'm not a real fan of this kind of music, you just made me think again. amazing stuff, adding to the music instead of killing it with skill as so many other 9 or 8 string players do...more please as far as an idea for something to do why not Rachmaninoff Prelude in C sharp, if that's not to far fetched, you can get the sheet music for free here; free-scores[.]com/download-she­et-music[.]php?pdf=9130#, hope you like the idea

[havokmusicinc]

You, my good sir, are fucking incredible. That is all.

[makeshift26]

I just realized something after watching this video: I suck at playing bass

[mirandanahuel]

That's amazing dude

[slipknot9733]

this is amazing and the tone of the 6 and 7th string is the best ive heard for a bass hands down mad props man keep rockin!

[blackshadowbass]

o.o

[WaltzingOwl]

MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[pwbdecker]

Man I'm like in tears. Rock. The fuck. On.

[Tritone1b5]

More, please.

[VegasPoker]

man you are amazing

[TheTrooper424]

And who said chivalry was dead?

[antikriss]

120 personnes trouves que Chaoth est un dieu, 3 personne se pensent a jouer One.



[MrPie455]

You should do one for....every song

[VincentAlucard]

I would love to hear Unfed Pendulum =D

[AttitudeCastle]

You should do one for Desert Urabania! :D

[russtophiles]

So awesome. Most people I've seen with extended range basses make it seem like a novelty but with the seamless way you blend different techniques it couldn't be more natural. Amazing bass/player/band.

[Taichi62]

Freaking awesome!!! Please more of this!!!

[Spraypainsos]

Awesome.

[EvanSawyer4]

pure bass baby

[FleshStarvingBass]

Sub is yours.

[Vastian696]

Amazing O:!!

[MagnumEvolved]

So, so good!

[Ithaka11]

[ThrashingBastardHell]

[MetalleuPoilu]

Vraiment hallucinant. Haha. Me donne envi de prendre des cours pour développer mon tapping!

[Mirdjan]

he just made my day XDDD

[walterreade]

Needs more strings. (Well done though!)

[blindskull]

Ok, that was really impressive!

I'm just developing my tapping, this video sure gave me some new ideas :)

[Frankshallperish92]

Tabarnak! :D

[Apha666]

@Frankshallperish92  TABARNAK TU L'AS DIT!

[BassGrindcore]

My biggest inspiration when it comes to bass. Just wonderful...

Btw, just wondering, what strings do you use?

[MadeOfYpres]

The song is less striking than others (like chromatic chimera for example), but the skills displayed here are astounding.

[Molle148]

This can´t be described with words!

[mangosnake]

@Molle148 Pun intended ?

[Lansver]

You cannot meausure the desire I feel to possess such guitar @___@

And Chaoth - you're Godlike. You're on the top on my list of people I'd like to kidnap and settle in a cage in my room just to play for me.

[marsvoltian]

I have been wanting high quality videos of Chaoth for so long, i shall study this and potential others hard. Thanks for taking the time sir

[BrombyDingus]

Easily one of the greatest bass players alive. The amount of talent this man has is truly incredible.

[rockapartie]

@BrombyDingus I agree, not only does he have an incredible technique, he also knows how to use it, e.g. unsolved ideas @ the amazing guitar riff (5:45), he just plays this great slow melody and gives the guitars their room.

I've been a metal fan for more than 20 years and just when I thought that I've heard everything, this already great band tops themselves with the greatest album EVER!

and they must be so proud of leilindel, who really outdid herself on this album.

[rockapartie]

@rockapartie ok 5:45 should refer to unsolved ideas, not this song ^^

omg I could go on and on about how great this album is.

I'll better stop and just say thank you to this band for providing me with the greatest music I've ever heard. :)
