➡️ Nothing makes me more giddy than when I stumble upon a unique, innovative way to play the bass guitar! The video for “Awakening” by ‪@UnleashTheArchers‬ came highly requested from our subscribers, and I QUICKLY learned why. It was an immense treat seeing Nikko Whitworth effortlessly rip through this track with one of the most unique techniques I’ve ever seen: what seems to be a hybrid blend of classical guitar fingerpicking and traditional fingerstyle for bass. Honestly, this truly might be one of the most efficient bass techniques for this speed and style of metal. And, before I forget, the rest of the band are absolute machines of precision - topped with the INSANE range and powerful pipes of Brittney Slayes. Unleash the Archers certainly tick every box for me in terms of a picture perfect metal track!

Thank y'all for this KILLER request! What are some other bass players with unique techniques I should check out?

Every one of the members of this band are top notch with playing their instruments and Brittney Slayes totally Slayes on vocals.

Nikko does a bass playthrough of one of their songs called Cleanse the Bloodlines and it's wonderful to hear the bass so forward in the mix - and a killer tune.

In an online comment Nikko did confirm this was a technique he learned from Matthew Garrison after a fan made the connection.

I like how the bassist plays the opening like a classical guitarist. very cool.

Nikko, the Bass Player is mainly a Cello player and his bass strings are also tuned in 5th (like a Cello). When he left the band and they got a replacement Bass Player, he had big troubles learning and playing Nikko's parts (he needed to transcribe a lot of things to fully understand the bass lines and then adjust it for playing on "regular tuned bass")

Proud to have smashed some of the band members in Pictionary 💪

Yes,in fact, they did normally start their shows with that song but now they usually start with a newer song called Abyss. (Highly recommend as your next UTA song analysis btw) They're a blend of several different sub-genres of metal but that's what makes them unique.

From what I understand it's called the clawhammer style he is using on the bass. Very close to the style used on banjo. Great for speed .

The bassist is Nikko Whitworth and here's a video of him with his bass, tuned as a cello, playing the cello part in Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 1.

Big fan of Unleash the Archers, this song in particular. No clue how many times I've watched it, and Brittney's grin at the end always gets me.

@kevincamp2913 Жыл бұрын

Nikko's bass work in Awakening always reminded me of Buck Owens or Roy Clark on a banjo.

I have probably seen this video 1000 times, and have played the album 1000 times, and it still gives me the chills when watching/hearing it. I grew up in the Golden Age of this stuff - mid 80's - and these guys are legit!!!

As a Canadian, I have never heard this band. Thanks for sharing, Im going to go give this band some love, with a Low End University shout out. Sick band, and I usually dont like power metal type vocals. 🤘

Haha, as soon as I saw this vid go up I had to watch it because of Nikko's technique. Love the way you analysed it - your expression at his solo moment after the guitar solo was perfect lol. It's a shame he left the band. Apex is such an awesome concept album, as is the follow up Abyss. Highly recommend Cleanse The Bloodlines from Apex, too.
