not bad...how old are you?

よかったです。
I love that bass. Your tone is nice too compared to some of the other videos on YouTube up from that song.

[bhawk1]

Good left/right hand technique as well, nice. Out of curiosity, what effects are you running the Jazz through?

[WovenGraphite]

Is this really a "Basses" topic?

Shouldn't it go somewhere else like "Recordings" or "Technique"?

[CoDBassPlayer]

When I play it I tend to speed it up a bit, just because it makes it seem more impressive, especially if you're playing for a non-musician crowd.

But really wonderful otherwise. Love the technique.





How old are you?

aghhhhhh

I think you're the one who doesn't know anything musically, if you weren't an ignorant fool you would check out Cliff Burton right now and then maybe you would understand, take this as a warning, either delete your thread before you get flamed or read up a little before posting.

wich are my musical standards? uff i hope that the ones that many other tb'ers have. dont flame me guys, as far as i know, most of you have good taste, but really, is that a good composition?

unfortunately, my cable adaptor is bad, but meaby in the next couple of days i might upload something.

and theres no need to be sarcastic, as most of you express your opinions i'd like to do it so.

greetings

Show me a recording of you playing bass right now, until then, you're still worse than he is in which you have no right to say hes a crappy bass player.

[Rimshot]

by far one of the better youtube pulling teeth! Well done.

Excerpt from Wikipedia.com
"Clifford Lee Burton (February 10, 1962 – September 27, 1986) was a bass guitarist, best known for his work with the heavy metal band Metallica from 1982-86. He was killed in a bus accident in Sweden, 1986 while touring with Metallica.

[He] inspired many songs from bands including Megadeth ("In My Darkest Hour") and Primus, as well as bassists such as Billy Sheehan, Les Claypool and John Myung."

Um..Billy Sheehan, Les Claypool and John Myung. Wow, those are some heavyweight bass greats, and THEY found inspiration from Cliff. Hmmm, kinda makes you think, huh?

"A classically trained pianist, Burton used his large knowledge of theory to add to the band's sound, both through his bass work and teaching James how to theorize and harmonize."

Please be knowledgeable before shooting your mouth off. Thank you.

A little bossy are you? who are you to tell him to delete his POST. you must edit your POST or your an ignorant fool, or better yet turn off your pc

Back to the actual topic of the thread, metallica has never been my cup of tea, but it's hard to ignore Cliff Burton's talent. Nice job on the solo.

The poor recording quality of the camera's microphone muddies up a lot of your playing, but you can still tell that you have a good tone.

Keeping working on it to smooth it out rhythmically, but otherwise I thought it was solid performance.

Keep sheddin'

[yellofury]

i knew trouble was brewing when he said Cliff wasnt a talented bass player...AND he mysteriously cant upload videos
who cares? i think the kid played nice
and you know what there are better bassists out there but he didnt ask to be compared to other bassists he asked us to critique his performance....as far as from watching the other RHCP songs just the need to tighten up some sloppiness and to let the basslines breathe in some parts
for example the beginning of Cant Stop ...all the notes are there
but it comes across a little sterile a little too clean if that makes sense
there are parts where Flea lets the note ring a little and add more color and flavor

I think he pulled "Around the World" alot better
the fuzz sounds close and the lines have more feeling

So - original poster: are you playing in a vaccuum, or would you like to share what effects you're playing through?

Good work. Thanks for sharing your video with us.

[ShowKing]

hi~
thx for the feedback..
im using a BOSS ODB-3 Bass overdrive pedal which is probably why i have similar sound to flea on the around the world vid..
its an active jazz bass..both pickups on full..and bit of bass boost + slight treble boost..
i used an SWR amp..with mid flat..bass boosted..and treble slightly boosted on the amp
and CoDBassPlayer: i am 17 years old..turned 17 last month lol
ive played bass for 1 year and 9 month ish?

[morf]

Nice solo! Your tone is very good, you come quite close to Cliff's tone, good job on that. You need to work on timing and speed a bit more however. You're not as fast all the time, you slow down on a few parts, and your timing isnt perfect, but keep at it you'll have it down in no time.

[aidanI]

i dont see why people mock him or his music, i mean not many people learn an instrument, so should be encouraged, good work, nearly there

p.s, im not a huge metalica fan, but i appreciate ther talent

I say it sounds good, and keep it up.

Just practise your timing so it sounds smoother, and I would use a little less distortion/fuzz in the sound, so the notes are clearer.

Good job! I would ignore all the childish posts! This forum as of late has been innundated with these! I recently started a thread on bass neck measurements and aside from many thoughtful posts, It blew up from there with immature childish remarks! Even the moderator felt he had to add to my poll! We'd better watch out guys because the casual observer will check out these threads and be turned off! this forum has really fallen off the last few months! But, as far as bass forums go, I'ts still ONE of the best we have!
