buen cover
Good job and nice bass
whoever said being a bassist was boring
wow! awesome! teach me please
Check out my bass arrangement of John Lennon’s Imagine on my channel. I tried to keep it simple like the song should be. I took a chordal approach and applied vocals. Thanks!
PERFECT!
Great job!!!
I love your sound. What are your eq settings? I’d like to try and get that sound out of my bass.
Perfect intonation! Great job!
Great!
i have covered this song and i was that musch close to upload it here on youtube. but after hearing your cover man i am not, i SUCK, i will redo it. you made me sound like shit, thank you being there dude
thats totally fake!!! you aren’t even plucking!!! its just music!!!
@eggmangoogoogoojoob Yeah you’re right.I have seen video clips of Hendrix and from some angles it appears that his strings are all upsidedown,putting the E string on the bottom just like I play.So that would put his smaller strings on top,but then I’ve seen pics or clips where it appears his strings are setup properly.So I really do not know which way he played,except that he was left handed.As for Cobain I don’t know how he strung his guitar.A guy playing with Clapton strings are upsidedown too
@thecoolestdad Great inspiration for any bassist! If you think about it, many accomplished guitarists such as yourself (including bassists) are similarly left handed – Paul McCartney, of course, but also Tony Iommi, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain …
@TeamMastaPr2 Yeah it can also very from which bass you have to which fret you play the notes, turning you treble down doesn’t always make it sound pristine on the higher frets. I don’t think it would be bad idea to play it on open E either though, I’ve always though of Mr McCartney as a frustrated lead guitarist. I personally would never touch that scale though, I would probably domino the strings into a fuckin awful sound
Thank you sir. You’ve just helped me with a gig!
you make it so boring….
love it
i can play this on guitar we should collab bro
@musicnerfngames It’s the right way, he got this by ear, and I play almost like him too (difference is I play the 7th fret on G instead of 12th on D – it’s the same notes), the way your thinking about is playing the scale on open E, that’s only for lead guitar, just listen to the song – it doesn’t sound so deep :p
How did you record?
