What do you guys think his best parts and/or songs are from Cannibal Corpse?

I just picked up a bass and want some stuff to learn I already play a bunch of CC songs on guitar.

You're gonna get me started on rampage man!

for a beginner....hmmmm

Sentenced to Burn (Gallery of Suicide)-verrry rhythmetic. Mostly done on the Low E String.
(B-E-A-D-) ps: ultimate guitar's tuning is Bb-E-Bb-Eb.
Main Riff

Death Walking Terror (KILL)-another rhythmetic song.

Main Riff
(G#-C#-F#-B)

|-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-3--3-3-3--|

Absolute Hatred (Vile)-Same feeling as above!

Cool, thanks! I had no idea the bass was tuned so low on kill, I thought it would be Bb I have a 5-string hopefully arriving next week, so any songs tuned like that will have to wait, but I'll try out the other two tonight

I just listened to them all and I definitely like the groove. On the note of Vile, I guess I should also check out Eaten From Inside and Disfigured.. I love those songs, and they're probably in a similar tuning.

i'm not a huge CC fan, so my favorite work of his is with blotted science.

Alex is a monster of a player. Although I don't listen to metal anymore, I can't deny the man's skills.

Well feel free to mention anything that is worth trying out, I have never listened to Blotted Science before, but I'm just checking it out on youtube now... seems... interesting

[Josh Pelican]

Alex Webster is really a machine of a bassist. Him and Steve DiGiorgio are my biggest influence in metal.

Adenosine Breakdown / Adenosine Buildup are incredibly intense songs. laser lobotomy is good too. i hope they put out more albums, because it's a really refreshing style, imo. websters playing is top notch

If you want a real workout, try your hand at Frantic Disembowelment.

That really showcases what Webster can do.

Only A GOD like Pat O'brien could write such a monster like that song! XD

It is in Bb, but, I had to transcribe it to four string cuz that's what I thought you were getting. I didn't move up to five string until after I played four string for 2 1/2 years.

[Murder_Worship]

+1 on blotted science that band is mind boggling
but over all im more a fan on CC,
they deserve to die has some really good bass work in it
addicted to vaginal skin
basically everything on the wretched spawn and killl have intense basslines
im looking forward to the new album release in the new year

I'm confused.. the tuning is listed as G#, and there are open string notes, so how could I play that if it was Bb?

Also, thanks all for the suggestions I hope I can find some good tabs for all these songs, since I'm not really good at learning by ear. Especially in regards to crazy fast bass lines.

Oh, I agree totally.

Pat is a machine - his face is always totally blank, but his left hand is a blur.

[ManOnStreet]

I'm a huge fan of Cannibal Corpse and Alex Webster .
You should try Perverse Suffering which is killer song of them all, especially for the bass part.
Another song is Gallery of Suicide, i love the intro, very good grooves.
Also the The Spine Splitter is another great song to learn ...

Many respects for Alex's skill.
