  • awesome cover man. is it possible on a 4 string bass, im dying to give it a go :p

  • @ovERloRD2407 Yeah, it's definitely doable and prolly will give your chops a good workout since the arpeggios will be stretching from the 5th fret of your E string all the way up to the 21st of the G and beyond (24th fret or hitting harmonics). Take it slow and make sure the notes are legato. I practice this all the time.

    I'll put up transcriptions up on my site as soon as I get some free time. It's not that time consuming really, I've just spent time on other stuff :)

    Ty for the comments.

  • Very Cool! That that a thunderbass or a bolt? I actually like the bolts more. more punch! I think anyway. Good job.

  • Yep, it's a thunderbolt :) Looking into purchasing a thunderbass as well, It's a beautiful instrument.

  • paganini  was a hell of a man.

  • This is pretty difficult on guitar, let alone a 5 string bass.Bass has the thinker strings which I think would make it harder.

    Good Job. don't pay attention to those people that say it's sloppy n shit.

see all

  • Daddy: Where are you going my son ?

    Me: I'm going to kill 5 stupid bastards ! (Y)

  • wow, well done

  • 5 people take it up the ass

  • what's this called? i've looked up crossroads intro solo and found nothing. i want to play this on piano.

  • Pretty fucking good, man.

  • @guitarmaniac93 don't be ignorant. bassists are allowed to play something other than just groove if they want.

  • thats not bass! thats a wrong try to play guitar song in bass!! play some real groove man!
