New Primus song "The Ol' Grizz" (including bass tutorial)

[Les Fret]

What do think of this new Primus song? Released just yesterday. I think it is really cool, especially the bass line. So I made a quick video today explaining the bass lines.

I have made a lot of bass videos playing my own songs but never a tutorial video. So spare me! If you have tips about the presentation let me know.

Thanks Ron. Yes. looking forward to their gig in Köln!

EDIT: I checked the original recording again. I made a small mistake in the video. Les is playing the first three notes as said in the video but after the 17th fret on the D string he is doing a pluck on the open G, then a hammer-on to the 15th fret on the G string and then a hammer on on the 17th fret of the D string. So 0-15-17 thumb on the D string, then pluck 0-15 on the G string then hammer-on to 17 on the D string. So you only have to strike every three notes. Makes it easier. That's it.

As said I made a small mistake in the intro bass line. Here is the correct version including TAB:
