"For Whom The Bell Tolls" - Metallica -=- Bass w/ Tabs (HD Lesson/Cover)

The three intro variations are reviewed at the end of the video, so be sure to watch the whole thing. I didn't go in-depth as I wanted to, playing each of the different versions.. So I had to mix and match the versions as I played. I display tabs for 2 or 3 different variations of certain sections of the song. The tabs included are based on a great tab you can find on UltimateGuitar tabbed by JenoUnion. If you want to play as close to the original Cliff Burton recording, I suggest you check out that tab. Very solid, near 100%. The two Rob Trujillo variations were tabbed by me from watching live performances. I hope this is helpful to some of you, and I plan on posting more tabbed covers in the near future. Thanks for checking it out.

what the model of this peavey?

[tydogg2443]

@jpcc94 It's a Peavy Dyna-Bass Unity Series. Made between 1987 and 1989. It's a neck-through body with PJ pickups. I used Power Slinky strings when I recorded this.

I dont understand how your playing the verse. its confusing. do I play the 7 and 5 at the same time? if yes, it doesnt look like your playing that.

[tydogg2443]

@oldschooldude2 Yes, in Cliff's original version he plays them at the same time. I don't play it that way. Not at all. I have my own way of playing the verses. I couldn't get it to sound quite right playing his version. He had more pedals to work with. At the time this was recorded, I only had a single distortion/overdrive. Sorry if it's a little misleading or if it makes it harder to follow.

Hey Man Nice Job May I Ask What The Tuning Is?????



[tydogg2443]

@JetKingBass96 Standard(EADG). Says it right in the video. Although the album version is actually slightly off. Some people don't even pick up on it.

To get the perfect tuning against the album version you have two options:

1.) Tune your bass slightly sharp(either by ear or by changing your tuner's frequency from 440Hz to 444Hz)

2.) Or you can edit the track so that it's about 4 cents(Hz) flat.

Let me know if you need further help with it. Live version is typically half-step down(EbAbDbGb)

U version Its better man..... mY question its i can play this song in a bass 4 string beginner????

[asshazard]

Ignore this guy, he's wrong, go listen to Cliff's actual bass track, it's on youtube. See for yourselves. Although the first intro he plays is correct.

[TheMetallica0111]

I love this guy =D xD awesome!!

[redwing104]

@tydogg2443 I'm honestly yet to see a cover that plays it the way cliff did, no-one ive seen has played the octaves in the verse section.

[thejose970]

[FuckingRockWithBass]
