Nice job! Gibson Ripper right?!? You have great finger tone and I really love how you are a dynamic player (know when to play lighter and then gig in). A++ It sounded great. Just like the recording. And I heard a very nicely put little bit of your self filler licks in there too. Loved it!
The funny part about bass guitar in AC/DC songs is that everyone says they're so easy, but in reality they're actually rather hard to play well. Cliff plays incredibly conservatively so that when he plays a little riff or bass fill, it stands out and its worth waiting through an entire minute of straight 8th notes. You've definitely captured his playing style (minus the couple of fills at the end, which I also enjoyed; it's just not his style) with this cover, and for that, I commend you. 5/5.
@youathoz that's easy, listen closely LOL. Also, most computer media players have ways to bring out the bass while lowering treble and vocals. It's very easy to hear the bass in most AC/DC songs. Fly On The Wall is really the only album where Cliff got the shaft in terms of audible bass.
to hulixan13. Hw da fuck do u knw he probably fukin does nd hu cares he still brought us are deadly ac/dc songs so seriously lad fuk up and gt a life lol
a fucking lot...lol, Gibson Grabbers are nice as though, Gibson are currnetly re releasing them, Epiphone had a nice line of them like 2 years ago, limited edition of course.
awesome job. He does a few different things in his live version (Donnington is the one of used) than on the studio, but I certainly picked up a couple things from you (and I play in an ACDC tribute band). good job
Yep.. this is one of the songs that I learned without looking at any tabs at all. Sometimes I look at tabs just to get a certain section of a song figured out, but this one was all by ear. Thanks for watching!
Sorry, I don't know how to write tabs.. I play by ear, so I don't use them to learn songs either. This is a popular song, I'm sure there are lots of place that have tabs for it, then you can improvise when you learn the song well enough. Good luck!
okay, i will try play by ear. its maybe a bether way to learn. but you know how to play the bass, i can see a lot of what youre playing to. anyway nice cover,
On this play I took quite a few cues from Cliff on the live album / Live at Donnington DVD. He mixes it up quite a bit on this song, gives it more of a walking bass line than usual, which I dug quite a bit. Thanks for watching!
Very nicely done bro. Cool bass.
