Jerome thank you for this lmaoo

Sounds like thrash metal too

Ah Yes, Mortal Kombat.

Awesome

Holy shit, It's true

+FadingShad0ws Thanks to you man. Remember my transcription is not the absolute truth

+CoverSolutions but it's damn near the truth.

+MK Sauce Agreed.

Good luck finding a vocalist

Yea, TIL I've been playing this wrong the whole time, now my version sounds really, really off.

It's a nice way to keep time (Also if you do it with your left leg it can help you learn drums more naturally too)

LynX AstroidZ he’s keeping time

It's called keeping time like a metronome

Time keeping 101. Great job

There are people who don't keep time?

Leonardo C it's the rhythm patterns. Especially when the band is playing polyrhythmically (the guitar is in a different time signature than bass and vocals which is a different time than drums) which happens pretty often in tool songs. Actually, the drummer himself plays in 2 or 3 different signatures pretty often on his own...

Leonardo C It's the clever use of polyrhythms I believe.

I would say that it's not just the complexity of the rhythms, it is how fuckin organic they are. They don't have a forced feel like other prog bands, you can tell it isn't complex just because the band wants to show off, the music just happens to be complex even if you don't fuckin know it. Sometimes I'll really study a Tool riff and it'll just click that a certain part is not in 4/4 but it feels as normal as 4/4, even with a transition. The complexity always fits the music and their songs end up being the masterpiece production of the well-oiled machine that is Tool.

@@knapton118 Exactly. You just nailed why I love tool but absolutely loathe dream theater.

They are spiritual and kickass at the same time!

this is extremely late lol but i love that part as well. the different timbre from the open string is such a nice effect

It sounds like rhcp

@@lethaltempo1632 No need to insult the band

@@lethaltempo1632 dont say that at a tool concert

@@nivuu3553 Why not? Both Chancellor and Flea are exceptional bassists

4 years late but yeah, a big bass sound is needed if the band only has one guitar player. Especially live, and Justin knocks it out of the park

This is by no means an easy song. It’s actually one of their most complex

If you call this easy you are a badass bassist.

Good job! (btw the easiest son is sober 4 me)

Not to talk shit but that parts not hard at all so many beginners should be able to play it but, keep up the good work I guess not trynna put you down. I just dont like how everyone here is being so fakely supportive.🤷‍♂️ The compostion of the song is complex but the first 2 minutes of the bass line isnt at all. Genius is not always about how simple or hard something is to play on the bass but the beauty of the line in the song and what it brings. Im telling you this cuz I'm being real with you. I've been playing for a shorter amount of time than you but I play atleast 6 hours a day usually more especially with this corona shit so im pretty intense with my practice this shit isnt a joke to me I'm immersed and I'm growing fast but remember the hard part isnt just the playing but actually being on time and creation of the line. Especially if you wanna incorporate flavor besides root notes but we find our spots when we can do so. Maybe you just jam or play at home so I apologize in that case I would be being to intense and that. I plan on doing this as a career and if you plan on doing so you gotta be badass and know your shit. Have a good day sir keep rockin.🤘

@@ixa-3140 I don't know dude, i've been playing for five years and while I admit I find it easy now, i found it to be a bit fast paced when I started learning it about 2 years ago. That could be because I play fingerstyle but still...

(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth by Metallica is one

+CoverSolutions I'd like to suggest NIB by Black Sabbath

Hey, Midlife crisis by Faith No More please

+Sore Loser Another cool song by them is Epic, but Midlife Crisis is a pretty good one as well

Andrew Pappas right, Midlife Crisis, A Small Victory and Everything's Ruined are my favorites. I hope that song's covers Sorry for the bad english btw

That bassline is not simple by any means lol

Hell yes!👊

same

I spent weeks doing stretch exercises to perfect that

Hurt like a bitch at first

@@bobbyireland6034 where did you practice a stretch on bass I mean from youtube?, or by yourself? And wnats the name for the stretching exercises?

@@invisiblecurious856 it's just warming up your fingers, and with time you get used to this fkin finger position

Lol same😂

yeah dude

Agreed

hell yea!

hell yea!! that would be awesome

He did

yea this helped me figure out how to play that solo correctly

You kept it up ?

less than a week!!!!!!

Leo Bass Covers has done everything from FI. It seems pretty accurate, too

Yes!

CosmicVoid ;)

hats off to you for this choice . WHAT a song ^_^

Bassline of that song is SICCCKK

It'd sound really messed up if you don't get the delay done properly, on the other hand I wish there was a dry track to listen/practice to because it's really hard to hear the delay part

same xD

Me too

I have the same problem

Try Dream Theater songs, John is built different with his hands. 💀💀💀

Better yet, Willy Adler from Lamb of God, his bridge part in Laid to Rest is quite the challenge. I swear they don't understand, alot of us have little girl hands. 😭😭

yes!

+Immortalkombat685 psycho is easy, but i would recommend recommending some of the harder tool songs first like vicarious or jambi

lateralus would be awesome

that's a tricky one...PERFECT JOJO would be proud

.. To be continued.

Striker Watches Games check the comment date dude

that part has been driving me crazy for years

No

Wow :00

Yeah it seems to be a pretty practical way of counting the 8 beats for him :)

YEAH!!! My music teacher would tell me not to do that because is a bad habit lol I'm still doing it

Alejandro Salazar consider changing teacher instead lol

Your taught to tap as a metronome

Razvan P feels like me hand is going to break

Yes, those are few stretchs that only a truly dedicated full time bass player can actually play.

@@colehuesca not really..... Just takes practice

Michael Davis lol

Michael Davis and/or even flow if not done already

Michael Davis yes

yesssssss

Hard to replicate perfectly. Jeff Ament uses a 12 string Hamer on the intro and outro.

Puneet Gurung You need an extended range bass. Les uses all of the strings on that song

+Conrad Nickelson 5 string I believe

Edwin Fields i have heard people play with a 4 string might not sound quite right but it still works

Can you do anything karnivool??!!! No one has good tabs on that amazing bass player

Hi mud

Thanks for that tapping tip. Really made that part less awkward to play. Well, assuming you meant the part at around 1:00 anyway.

Capta1nFarrell Yes that's exactly what I'm taking about.

The Wandering Internet Wizard Wow thanks for that tip, I hated that part so much.

The Wandering Internet Wizard I have just said fuck it to that part! I play lefty so I know theres no way

I tuned the A string up to a Bb to make the 7th fret to make it playable for my small hands and adjusted the rest of the song around that. works fine

+Raamie DarkThorn Just practice man, keep practicing ;)

I can practice alot more now having just got a 24 fret bass

+Chase Pendleton he needs a five string bass for that. he can do metropolis tho, its played on a 4 string bass

+J Venturella you only need the five string for the intro so what he could do is tune his bass for the intro, record that, and then re tune it for the rest of the song and record that part. Just a thought, I have no clue if that would work

Did you ever get it? I took his lead and used my ring finger on the top position (8th fret) and from there I was able to adjust to the pattern. My personal problem is jumping into the position while playing the song. My pinky wants to try to take the position by default, so retraining my hand is part of this experience. :)

as do most ..lock the ring finger and repeat for about a week you will get it

same here man i almost have it

Me too. I have no idea how he frets it!

I don't have the biggest hands and play the F with the middle finger and let it ring out like that.

Thank you

That actually helps with visualizing the song structure.
