The Smiths Barbarism Begins at Home Bassline

[alkalineammo]

this is really great

[thesmithsmad]

can you send me the tabs for that please ?

[TheBassplayah]

Thanks I just learned it from ya...Coolness

[micahnewman]

Nice! I learned this bassline years ago but never realized it was in that tuning: all strings tuned up a whole-step, from what it looks like. That would have saved me a lot of finger pain!

[BruisedArcade09]

spot on

[alchezifon]

what strings do u use?

[simmy2004]

That was quality mate.

[imiciggs]

Kudos!

[kurt934]

fucking cool bassline a great interpretation congratulations!

[bluemeany]

That's as cool as a Paul McCartney bass line--and that's fucking cool indeed. Makes me want to get a bass. Nice.

[Eltroim]

@bluemeany with the beatles u can barely hear his damn bass -.-

[gillart]

My fingers would be bleeding.

[Karmoon7]

This is the type of bass line that makes you want to learn bass.

[discosebastian]

Congratulations on an excellent video. Any chance of the bass tab?

[aidanday]

Hahahahhaha... this is hot....

[stavrosmallios]

Thank you for this video!

[wolfstan64]

Nice job! I love this bass part

[skuzboll]

Muy sabrosa!

[MrSheaves]

Sweeet!! You nailed it bro!

[XxLuis123xX]

dam! for all i know u could be andy rouke :D

[agudakos]

Very good. Thank you!

[PubliusDiamond]

Ah that looks a lot easier than the way I play it. Do you have all the strings tuned up a step?

[sonofdrcross]

Yep

[korhan]

fender jazz bass?

[sonofdrcross]

p bass

[mzungu71]

downtuned?

[lunachangue]

perfect cover!!!

I didnt notice this song's bass line is so cool since now^-^

[tompondus]

Love it.Very good:)

[micolao]

your playing is just GREAT.

[sangitgirrl]

I've been playing this wrong the whole time. Thanks. :)

[fayehazelmn]

Nice work! I've learnt the bass line as well. How are you able to play it at speed without your fret hand cramping up on you>?

[wwwjayterriencom]

There's a pretty good chance that I will record a version of this bass line using the Assmaster geranium distortion pedal......

[FunKDoc831]

What gauge of strings do you use when tuning up to F#?

[jgmccabe]

It's a great bass line, but very repetitive! Well played though.

[IFoughtTheLaw369]

Awesome cover! It helped me nail down my cover instead of reading vague tabs that aren't correct in the first place.

[happyjoe4ever]

This is easy to play on the bass! Not!

[ConalCochran]

ace

[josh853]

anyone know the link to this tab i cant find any good ones

[lizzzrose]

marry me? lol

hey... sounds great!

[Wafflecake]

I looks so much easier than how I play it. Time to start tuning in F# D:

[Victorcer]

Very good man

[russelsheartinacage]

greatest band ever, ever

[guitapie]

i´m a big fan of marr´s guitar playin´. and being trying to figure out his lines since 20 years ago. Ít´s really very difficult to find proper transcritptions, you get somthin´similar but never "Exact" as marr do.

you´re are the closest i´ve ever seen, thank you so much man.

PT- Could you play barbarism on guitar?

[mbdxecw2]

What a mega bassline indeed and well done on doing such a good job on it!!

[Manyute]

nice job buddy...a fucking pretty job...

can you try the queen is dead?

[fritzenberg]

you're right mate,this is one of the best basslines ever written! everyone bangs on about morrissy/marr all the time while overlooking one of the best rhythm sections of all time.Andy Rourke is well underaterd!

[kutbaag]

@fritzenberg

maybe true for a part, but Marr wrote the bassline. Andy just played it.

[utubeftl]

I loved it when the Killers basically blatantly ripped off this bassline.

[FuzzyCabesas]

Kill the Killers.

[Peugeotdp]

Congratulations !

sounds great...

and a great work =D

[ddehghan]

marry me

[subersibo]

Hey, great job! Are there different versions of this song? The recording that I have is in F. However, yours and the Smiths live version here on Youtube are in F#.

[funkmike]

It's always in F#. I picked out this bassline by ear a long time ago to cassette--it hasn't changed.

[XanBcoo]

You play this really differently than I do. Do you have the strings tuned down or something?

[sonofdrcross]

I tuned it to F sharp. Maybe thats it?

[XanBcoo]

Ahhh, that's it. I meant to say tuned up. Must make it a lot easier.

[ShortRoundMcFly72]

Tabs, please? The one's I have are inaccurate.

[fcossy]

Great song great riff just great well done son

[dmaldana]

badass dude.
