Majesty Crush “Sunny Pie” bass tutorial.
“Sunny Pie” is the first single Majesty Crush released on our own Vulva Records in 1991 and available now streaming and on the “Butterflies Don’t Go Away” double LP on the Numero label.
We recorded it in the side room of the Tempermill Studio in Ferndale, Michigan with Mike E. Clark, whom Odell the drummer and I had worked with when we were in Spahn Ranch - he was friends with our late singer Bob Sterner. It’s one of the first songs where our guitar player Michael Segal see a six-string, as opposed to the three-string we used to write the B-side, “Cicciolina.”
What I learned from making this tutorial is that the song was apparently sped up when it was mastered and pressed, because when I play it, it sounds in tune when I go up one fret - starting at A sharp.
For the purpose of the tutorial, however, I’m playing it the way I wrote, recorded and played it live.
The verse is basically alternating bass “shapes” as I called them on the D string, landing on the A note and bouncing off the open A string.
The bridge is E to D, which I played on the G string, as David sang it pretty high (“For so long…”).
Then the verse is E on the A string then GGG-D on the D and A string.
The very last chorus, kind of an outro, holds the E longer before the GGG-A resolution , which was Michael’s idea to create a deeper kind of riff that held the E a little longer to build a kind of darker tension as David bids adieu to his beloved Sunny Pie in a low speaking voice.
Thanks for Henry Boyer for the request for this video.

Majesty Crush bass tutorial: UMA
มุมมอง 1025 หลายเดือนก่อน
Uma is a Majesty Crush song from the 1993 album Love 15 and out now on the Numero Group reissue Butterlfies Don’t Go Away. It’s a very poppy (even for us) song based on a kind of ‘60s girl group type riff played on the bass with a lot of pull-off and open strings. The main riff is played almost like a drum part: A-G-DD, AA-B-GG. Every four , there’s a little fill on the G string octave G-A. The...

Majesty Crush “seine” set to “the scene”

Majesty Crush “seine” from the Sans muscles ep 1994 from the forthcoming 2024 numero group 2x vinyls re-release. Visuals from 1980s detroit dance show “the scene.” A stylized biographical story of a french woman balancing her role as single mother with the fading promise of becoming an actress culminating in a final act of desperation, which the child, who may be the singer, survives. A tragedy...
Majesty Crush “Feigned Sleep” bass tutorial.
มุมมอง 206ปีที่แล้ว
“Feigned Sleep” is one of the earlier songs I helped write for Majesty Crush that we wound up recording a rally fully-realized version for the album Love 15. It’s inspired by the kind of rolling bass of A.R. Kane’s “When You’re Sad” which I guess is a little like the time signature of the beginning of U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name.” “Feigned Sleep” is basically this picked through shape ...

i grew up downriver listening to you guys, and lucky enough to get to know dave at the majestic over the years. i couldn't be tickled more to stumble across these videos. thanks
Oh wow thanks so much! Dave was a true and timeless original. Thanks for watching! All our Music has been reissued on the Numero Group label.
@@HobeyEchlin I wish i had known sooner about it. I'm gonna obsess over that dirty blonde version.
I think that's the only time he's ever been clean shaven.
such a sick song! we ♥majesty crush
Thank you!
The signed Sam Fox poster lol
I would shit in my pants to have been in this position.
Omg thank you for this. What a killer bass line for real and great song!!
Thank you.
I’m a guitar player but I love your bass especially on this song. It also helps me play this on guitar. Thanks so much
Thank you
Bloody hell they're both smiling in the same room
Alas, this was 2001.
@@HobeyEchlin such a shame but got to say they seem better off separate now. Saw Hooky live and he's looking like he's in a good place and I'm enjoying NO's new stuff. In an ideal world we all know what we'd like but overall for me good to see them all out there working and looking happier. 🙏
@@Richard-d2i I agree.
Hey Hobey. Big fan, Could you do Worri please?
Yeah for sure. Thank you for asking.
thankssssss for the greetings, i love that album and the work you did on the bass, thanks from Chepén - Perú. If i do a bass cover would you please react? :D
Yeah for sure!!
one of the goats
Agreed
เล่นมือซ้าย ไม่สลับสายด้วย อย่างเก่ง 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Thank you!
the gonads on this guy
please an Uma bass tutorial!
Coming right up
Great video, Hobey.
Anyway, there was a cat that came in to this video 00:41. Was white and shaggy. Thought it was a Hoth Wampa but was a cat. Probably also a curmudgeonly cove, like Hooky. I thought this was grear - but why not interview the cat? It was very cute.
The cat’s the ghost of Ian Curtis obviously
Thank you so much for this. I just discovered the song over the weekend and can't stop listening to it (and more of your material! ) . The bass line immediately went right to my soul. Right up there with Simon Gallup's stuff.
Thank you very much and very happy you discovered us. We have a whole career retrospective out on Numero called “butterflies don’t go away.” I’m honored that you hear me in such good company as SG! I always think of the bass as the mascot of the band, just super happy to be there.
Salford lad.
Now I want to learn how to play the guitar. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Or play a bass like a guitar like I did

Bernard Lol
beautiful thank you for this
You’re welcome
so sweet! would love to see a penny for love tutorial
Coming rignt up
Hooky plays it like a guitar.
Exactly
That's his style buddy
❤ from Russia!
Thank you! I’m very glad to hear you enjoy our music!
so good Hobey, at the 1993 toledo gig when Michael's guitar stopped working you and Odell kept it going as a drum and bass duo, it sounded so good.
Thank you Henry
Thanks so much Hobey!
Thank you for the inspiration to do it!
Awesome! I play guitar but learned this on bass since it's such a catchy line. Have you thought of doing a tutorial for Boyfriend? Thanks so much.
lefty playing it upside down, thats wat i wanna learn !!!
Out of necessity; my downstroke is his upstroke, so there’s more open string in those first notes.
i believe Hooky , Berny and Ian are all left handed i read somewhere ?
None of them play left handed. I am, so when hooky handed me the bass I just played it upside down and backwards.
@@HobeyEchlin I READ SOME ARE LEFT HANDED WITH HAND WRITING ? PREDOMENANT HAND ?
Is he playing the open g-string in the end?
Can’t wait to see a “Shut up” bass tutorial! Majesty crush has definitely become one of my favorite bands of all time!!! 🤘 Thanks for this! 🤘
Lemme figure it out. That was an early and good one
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dude me and my roommate needdd to play your music it’s the best band ever is there any chance you guys would ever release the guitar tabs? I got the drums and he’s got guitar haha
I think you’d have to reach out to Michael. I just know the guitar is great because the bass is so all over the place
Thanks for this upload, this is ruddy marvellous footage - do you have any more filmed there at their 'studio'? You very lucky person, going there and witnessing the band in their natural environment!
I do. I have me playing LWTUA on Stephen’s drums and an interview. This was at Stephen and Gillian’s country house outside of Manchester; the whole back garage area had been converted into a rehearsal studio.
Boy would I dearly love to see that….or better still, have come with you on that visit!!😂
Man plays ‘ooookehs’ bass upside down and makes a pretty good fist of it… Ooookeh..’You’re wrong’….
Mr. Echlin, I'd like to thank you for this tutorial. I heard this song for the very first time about a month ago. It's a great song. I'm sorry I missed hearing it throughout my 53 years of life. Thanks again.
You’re welcome. We’re very lucky it’s taken on an extended new life with our upcoming vinyl re-release. Thanks for listening.
Looking forward to the vinyl release, such a great bass line
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your tutorials! I’m sad to see No. 1 fan taken down, I was getting so close to playing the whole thing through. Nonetheless thank you for taking the time to teach us, Majesty Crush rocks
Thanks- no. 1 fan back up!
You’re the man, thank you
Bass di gonjrang gonjreng
Peter Hook had always been the John entwhistle of new wave
Completely agree
4:55 sounds a little like your baseline for Horse
Great tutorial, happy Holidays Hobey, thank you for showing us your work!
Great 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you didn't post for such a long time
Thanks. I’ll do more. I feel like I have an obligation to stand up for technically not great bass that nonetheless made it onto a noteworthy recording.
I was born the day this was filmed lol
I was as a bass player as well, obviously
Wrong, It's wrong haha.
Ok, but how can one be sure that he is playing it the right way?
Great point. Flea plays it like I do all on the g string. Hooky is sorta punk rock, he doesn’t mind playing it in a way that’s more discordant
I love when he turns the rig on at 0:13. So powerful!
Can this be the greatest song ever?
Got my vote, yes- and Keanu reeves (google Keanu Colbert joy division)
Sure beats playing the blues on a bass
