Megadeth's "Dawn Patrol & Rust in Peace (Polaris)" on bass - LRRG

An epic diddy off of Megadeth's best album, Rust in Peace. First off, apologies for the errors in this video, both technical as well as flubbed notes. They can't all be hits, hehehe, and my ear playing doesn't help things. I set the bass for a different EQ setting in order to bring the mid-tones out enough to be heard for this one...that way you can tell where I am hitting the notes...and I suppressed the lows a bit so it does not rumble when I am playing fast. Typically I would not do this sort of thing in a live situation, relying on the guitars to carry the punctate part of the band's tone.

As a way to pick on myself, I counted my big mistakes in this tune. There were quite a few, and no surprise they are highly-concentrated towards the last part of the tune. What can I say? My hands get tired by the time I get to the end when it gets ridiculously fast, and I had been playing stuff all day, so I was a bit winded to begin with. And I am doing Mustaine's part on that as well as Ellefson's...blah blah blah. I know...excuses, excuses.

Anyways, I hope y'all enjoy this. As an aside, the "Virtual Maiden" band that I was involved with last year has been revived with a new drummer and a vocalist (same guitar duo with better sound!). Our first video should be out soon, and it is a barn-burner from the Piece of Mind album. So watch for it!
