Asian Kung-Fu Generation - 「Haruka Kanata」 - Bass Cover

Alright, so here's a nice bass cover of the immensely-popular Naruto opening, Haruka Kanata, by AKFG. Easily one of my favorite Japanese acts; these guys are unique for their talent and weird key signatures, in my eyes anyway.

NOTE: I am playing the verse correctly. I have listened to this song many times, and focused on the bass part. He does not play the triplets; the guitarist does. The bass is straight eights with an octave every quarter note. Trust me on this, and rate accordingly ;)

Hope you guys enjoy this! Please subscribe and spread the word!! :D

What tuning are you in?

[MrBrawl]

@Derekbasscovers Standard (EADG).

[hattrick271]

The intro is actually picked, I think. Their bassist actually plays a lot of stuff with pick, and this is one of them.

[MrBrawl]

@hattrick271 Yup, I am aware of that. However, I never play with a pick :P

@MrBrawl Nice, I want to learn to fingerpick on it. and i think the beginning is a slap as it suggested in a tab but I could be wrong. Awesome playing!

[MrBrawl]

@kame9 Umm, no, it is absolutely not. But thanks.

[dermis89]

[dankosoul]

@MrBrawl yeah your right i just listened to it again and then saw the official mv. its a pick but its kewl that you prefer fingerpicking to pick.

[dankosoul]

Nice cover i just wanted to hear someone fingerpick this song :D Can't wait to learn fingerpicking!

[TraRobins234]

@kame9 The intro isn't slap. I just listened to the actual version by Ajikan
