Dream Theater Caught in a Web Bass line

[ParapaDrifter]

@0:30 i see a spider-hand

[blondbarbiesaau]

you're awesome Sean!!

greatings from Norway ;)

[Jinjiahu]

I just love his tone ! amazing bassist as well obviously

[projetoB17Studio]

cool!!!

[neglectedMushrooms]

0:31 camera blurs due to high levels of exposure to gamma rays emitted by his fingers...

[sasix79]

great job man! congrats

[Davetts92]

I usually don't care for other people's bass playing but, dude, u nearly made me cry.

[volcomscooter29]

is this the ibanez sr506

[matiasbatero]

OHHH YEAH!!!! :D

[prognosis2112]

to be honest, without your roaring bass, this section of the song doesnt sound the same!

[VemundKM90]

fingers like a spider's legs...

[zaxxon2007]

Yeah!!! Like a crawling spider... genial

[Xanadu1115]

This bass sounds amazing for just plugging it in direct with flat EQ. I knew I made a good choice when I bought one of these. Great playing too. I still haven't mastered this section of the song.

[PhoebusRose64]

very nice!!

[thegr8HarV]

awesome job

[NuthnButaPeanut]

It's like his hand transformed into a very technically advanced spider that just begins dancing on the strings to create a perfect array of accuracy meeting smoothness which erupts into a galaxy where music runs into eternity... or maybe it's just me...

[zaxxon2007]

@NuthnButaPeanut Perfectly described.

[geoffbarone603]

Right on man!!!

[iunnox666]

@YellingAtEveryone A lot of 6 strings don't cost that much more than 5 strings.

[octopus9191]

jesus that ibanez sounds good!

[GirFromInvaderZim]

this is incredibly difficult. the thought itself of me playing this gave me a headache XD

[superhomsar2112]

@YellingAtEveryone I'd say so. He only uses the C string for maybe 25% of their material. Mainly for solos, unisons, harmonics and such. The low B string is all too necessary for most of their stuff, so I'd say that's a good start.

[floouk]

F**k me! How on Earth do you follow that?!

[Zoobafunky]

That gave me friggin goosebumps. :)

[case633]

No, John Myung, gots darker skin...

[losingitrush]

Sean

You are an inspiration and u make me wanna slap my bass. U and myung should have a duel. That would be amazinnnnggg

[galeng]

6 people have a strange mental disorder

[Slashe50]

@galeng 7 now. It must be a breakout.

[StakkelsJimm]

How can people possibly dislike this?

[JacobsBassWorld]

Now this bassist has some good taste :) Geddy and Myong? Good man gooood man :)

[AnEcumenicalMatter]

@JacobsBassWorld throw a bit of claypool in there and we got a winner

[xGTYe110wSn0w]

@JacobsBassWorld all we need is flea and cliff and were all set

[Slashe50]

@xGTYe110wSn0w Egh, overrated. If he could do Wooten or Sheehan, that would be awesome. Even better, Jaco Pastorius :P

[chopechop]

dammmm!!!!

[royntx2]

WOw not to many people know of G>L with Rush and J>M with Dream theather, two of the all time greats if not, at least in the Rock format. thanks again for sharing

[CrispMusic]

tooo cool brotha....... tooo cool

[geer1234]

Great job...

[Xanadu1115]

Sickest part of the song.

[umr777]

wow!

[enterthetoucan]

dude, this video is seriously rad! I don't know how long this guy has played. But regardless this is probably the best fingerwalking cover ive ever seen! you're amazing!

[PowerDaso]

Can somebody give me a link of caught in a web with no fucking interruptions? I mean, no live, no instrument cover, anything, only the song and that's it. If it has lyrics it doesn't matters. Thanks.

[ironwolg]

just go buy the album lol if you search you'll find it

[sinisterBOB9]

I love this song, I can play it but not as well as this guy cause it sounds kinda muddy.

[300bigboss]

jam thats a sick ass bassline , it reminds of the old goosebumps show i don't know why tho

[PIZZAISFUN]

yeah i felt the same way lol they sound similar

[thecircleisperfect]

lmao! i know what you mean haha :P

[Monrael]

Dude, i think you have an extra finger!

[Monrael]

WTF!!!!

[JyrkiBoy82]

make those fingers work...=)

[JakeTF2]

im not sure if its possible but id love to see this guy cover metropolis part 1 :)

[piter2619]

then comes the difficult part

[MileSeventySeven]

sweet

[mestregigolo]

you have a great bass there!

[MileSeventySeven]

great tune and wonderful work

[snowboardingfreak94]

It was probably John Myung playing it with his face off camera to see how many views he could get.

[savantiflag]

John Myung has alien fingers.

They have a mind of their own

[XxdieformetalxX]

lol Octopus fingers

[Narutofan9993]

@savantiflag The japanese have actually made a sci-fi/horror manga (japanese comic book) based on that. It is called Parasyte (sometimes written Parasite) You can look it up on google images. Great playing anyways.

[zaxxon2007]

No, its a guy who improved the John Myungs bass style, overthrowing him. Sean Andrews is a god. Check his work on Redemption, his band.

[knifejuggler2]

I like your fish screne saver

[spamhead2k]

screen*

[lifeizwaiting]

thats heavy! love it

[VitorMancini]

awesome!!

[drumwrkshp]

that's some serious mad skillz.

[mOrtpengu1n]

So if it's JUST the bass guitar playing, it's not a solo, but when it plays with all the other instruments, it is?

Technically the intro IS a solo...

[landontheninja]

nice man

[StoneBeliever]

whole song man... please... this song is amazing, as is your playing

[turbovan65]

very spider-like

[imagesandturds]

awesome job dude

[superhomsar2112]

dude, your hand moves like a tarantula. it takes skill to cover DT on any instument. you nailed it.

[Rafescow]

is the tone of this bass the same of the 5 strings version, or at least very similar? (i'm getting the Ibanez SR505 at the end of the year)

btw, you play really well, this is such a hard song!

[morganchavis]

they're the same thing. In my experience with them, the low B on the 5 string is better than the 6 but it's iffy on both. It could have been the specific bass that I was playing but the 5 string is pretty good.

[Rafescow]

oh man you make me bet i'm doing a great choice :) this bass sounds a lot good for me!

thanks a lot for the attention

[morganchavis]

your welcome. I prefer the BTB's with bigger necks and longer scales but the SR's, especially that one have a great slim neck and light weight body. :)

[IsaiahArroyo777]

get the 505 i have it and prefer way more than the btb theres a reason this guy got the SR than the BTB

[TAYGUNOV]

and whats that?

[IsaiahArroyo777]

its a bass theres the ibanez SR series and the BTB series what he has is the SR506

[TAYGUNOV]

that made no sence, i wanted to know why you prefered the sr over the btb

[IsaiahArroyo777]

y because its lighter same hard ware and and slightly thinner neck and the BTB has 22 and 2 half frets while the SR has 24 but thats just my opinion

[TAYGUNOV]

thats weird, what btb do u have...? cuz mine btb has the thinnest neck of all the ibanez series, 24 frets, neck through construction, mono rail bridge, and countless other differences... but then again mine cost 2 times more than the sr. you must have a really low end model of a btb then..

[IsaiahArroyo777]

i dont have a btb ibut i have a friend that has one and i have an sr , and i just like the feel of mine i was just stating some facts

[IsaiahArroyo777]

plus if u go on the ibanez website it clearly states that the ibanez sr has a thinner neck

[29573428937]

BTB is actually only cut away at the 24th fret on all the strings except the C

[fangtschui]

he needs the 6 string in his band;)

[qwertysow]

Wooooow

[EmmaOWnzU]

dude panic attack bass solo ???? vid

[VanishingDigital]

What? Panic attack doesn't have a bass solo. God damn rock band shit.

[EmmaOWnzU]

yea it does what are u talking about i call it solo you may call it riff but in the beggining its just the bass ... i call that a solo or a riff

[VanishingDigital]

It doesn't matter what you call it. it IS an intro Riff, its not a solo, lick, main riff, or whatever YOU or anyone else calls it.

[halfjaw77]

Who gives a flying fuck what you call it.

Shut the fuck up and watch the video. :D

[VanishingDigital]

I don't call it anything. it IS an intro riff. Apparently YOUR a fucking dumb-ass as well.

[lifterlegandpoker]

Q_Q

[VanishingDigital]

What?

[halfjaw77]

Oh threatening, you plan to debate on whether it's YOUR or YOU'RE? Because to you it's YOUR, when it's YOU'RE.

[Ginnagan]

ROfl, a bass solo for an intro in Panic Attack? Yeah w.e, it's a bass intro riff, but I guess what you don't know, wont hurt you.

[Spazman173]

Fantastic playing!

[lardar21]

u good.

[RFB480]

when I watch this video, the words "badass", and "superb" come to mind. Excellent job on YYZ too!

[Sammerk73]

nasty man...awesome job

[vermehIo]

0:11 - 0:15 is beautiful. I love the roar of that B string, its so powerful

[C3sarbass]

me tooooo

[300bigboss]

@vermehIo hell yeah man

[ThAwOrLdInFlAmEs]

THAT IS SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dudeman724]

is the sixth string necessary for this song?

[ftfrito]

at least a 5 string is needed

[bassdaze]

no bad.. with some more practice and maybe a few lessons you'd prolly turn out to be a pretty good bassist in a couple years..

NOT ... Great Playing.... very nice...........

[MrMcChooch]

wtf??? its SO CLEAN!!!!! especially the triplet part at 0:32, i almost died, thts extremely intense, to say the least. anyone who disagrees can try to make a better bass cover of this song, and they'll probably fail.

[CRVZS]

His band will support to Dream Theater tour. Congratulations man! Great playing!

[skeytermen]

shit man!!! your sound is amazing and your stick too!!!! very very nice vid around here, one thing, how do you get that little funky sound,.. specially in yyz, i play the bass sometimes but never get that!!! the set-up? thanks man

[Peachrokks]

his fingers are just flowing to the song

[Lucifall]

Anyone notice how his left hand moves like a spider? o__O

[jolleyjames13]

Probably why it's called caught in a web ;)

[ESPXGuitarist]

xD i was thinkin the same thing....specially for the keyboard solo when they r live

[PiranoX]

look at that hand dancing on the bass!!

***** AMAZING!

[bucketdead]

You are awesome anyone who can do Myung's work is great at bass. But you someone who can do it and still have amazing tone you are a god.

[purehatred0]

NAILED!!!!!!

[dragonoid250]

how do u get that tone?

[BassDrumsGuitarMasta]

I want your tone so badly!!!

[msxmgd]

damn...

[turdburper]

Ok, I TRULY understand why they call Myung "Spider Fingers" now heheheh.

Sweet fucking vid dude!

[SpikyPeahorn]

o m g. *eargasms again* i love your tone man. especially on your B string, mine always sounds sludgy kinda

[oresama4545]

[andrewdavies4]

[andrewdavies4]

You said:

[blackfirexxxx]

[Steavenchandra]

[thepoison1627]

damn dude, i love your tone

keep that shit comin!

[Destruction3402]

Is it an Ibanez SR506? It's really an awesome bass! :)

[imdb23]

we should hear more bass on the actual recording. from 0:09 to the end is amazing, and I never knew it existed!

[TheOrangeFondler]

i like this video. this is what i am going to one day achieve. it's brilliant to see complex bass lines performed flawlessly.

[veguetox]

Cool!!!!!

Greetings....

[ChronoZINC529301]

NICE MAN

[danklas124]

omg

you are amazing.

what kind of bass is that?

[Martin259]

Ibanez SR506

[sinctyle1]

all i need is a five string and i can start learning some Dream Theater .. seems like itl be a workout

[ROONTANG]

You'll need a 6-string for Dream Theater.

[BrunoSRO]

yup, 6 string... 5 string will only allow you to play some of their songs... with a 6 string you will be able to learn all of them, thats if you're up for the challenge :P

[imbatman333]

I know eh, i want to learn more Dt on guitar but im restricted because i dont have a seven string.

[brigdetosomewhere]

consider heavy strings and drop b tuning or learn the licks en E instead of B and save up so when you get it you know what to do :)  dont wory john petrucci didn't have seven strings till the second majesty demo

[imbatman333]

Yeh, i Already do that, but you know i just want that seven string crunch. RG1527 here i come.

[brigdetosomewhere]

:P  Well I hope you have fun

[SoCalBassist]

You have magic fingers or somethin. how long have you been playing bass?

[CoolAsMel]

This is so awesome!

I'd really like to see you play Panic Attack :]!
