i played bass for 10 years before starting taking guitar serious, I had a huge problem with bendings because my hands were so used to the big strings that i couldnt control them to bend in tune or to have a smooth vibrato. nevertheless, all the music theory that i learned over the years of playing bass really come in handy when understanding scales, I also can read music sheets and have a really good sense of rhythm
As a bassist currently learning guitar, There is an art to playing both bass and guitar, some skills can be interchangeable some you have to leave with either instrument
You seem to get that the same things that make bass 'easier' to learn are what make it 'harder' to master. That Meshuggah riff is a perfect example. Sure, there might only be 4 strings, but the added thickness and longer neck make complex lines an absolute workout, and muting and accuracy is even more important when you're playing an octave down.
That's what guitars do because they can go down. Try tuning down to the guitars on a 35" scale 5 string bass and play actual strings. Their bassist didn't tune down until Immutable, where he uses some custom-made super long scale bass with a lowest string gauge of like .150
Dude please mod that headstock. I know they are great instruments but the headtstock oh boy... Just route it and then use some clear coat to make it professional looking so you don't see the modification.
Yea, if you can find extra long standard strings, because baritones use pretty thick strings that either won’t get up to standard, or it’ll be incredibly hard to play when you get it up there.
@@Gliese710_ from premier guitar's rig rundown here on TH-cam the tech said Lövgren's basses are tuned to either drop Bb (Bb, F, Bb, Eb, Ab) for his 5 string or Bb standard on his four string. idk if I can link that video here but you can easily find it. If you listen to meshuggah, the bass plays the same notes as the guitars most of the time, in the same register. Granted, it is a bit buried in the mix usually mostly because the guitars are tuned so low (8 strings in f standard mostly)
Bass is a much less technically demanding instrument than guitar, piano, or alot of other instruments and much more theoretical/philosophical. That's not to say there isn't plenty of challenging music for it, but it's got 4 strings and you play them one at a time, usually fairly slowly. It really isn't rocket science. The challenge and fun of bass comes from creating that perfect bass line that adds another layer of interest and uplifts the music without overdoing it. The inherent "easiness" of the bass also gives you alot of freedom to develop your own technique and style. Wait until you try fretless bass, you'll never want to go back to frets!
While learning bass, your fingers are getting sooo strong that you can go ultra Wild on the guitar later!
Looks like I got to learn bass then

I bought my first bass a couple weeks ago and it’s so fun but I never thought i’d complain about my picking hand hurting lol

The baritone tune at the end it hits so perfect
Bass is harder than i thought it would be ngl
In what way?
Never thought I'd ever hear you play combustion by meshuggah 😮

I love you content man! Could you please do one big gear video where you show all of your pedals, amps and guitar? Would love to see❤
Do you want me to 3d print you a guitar for a video?
I hope he sees this comment
Up
This guy got better than me in bass in a single year than me in almost 2. Fuck. TIME TO PRACTICE
To play bass like a bassist isn't easy
One of the best bassists I listen to is Lil Joey from RKL (Rich Kids On LSD), you guys should check them out if you’re into skate punk.
My right hand plucking technique is the thing killing me, fretting a big ass neck and all is not the issue 😢
I’ve never heard of relicking devaluing a guitar
I play guitar but I realllllyy want to play bass but I’m extremely skinny so it’s very hard
Show us your part's-caster
Who is gonna tell him that Meshuggah is played almost an octave below, not 1/2 up?
That's what guitars do because they can go down.

I started on bass

what is the name of the song at the end?
You are great a player.. guitar and bass
Awsome ❤😂
Can a baritone be tuned to E standard
no but you can get e standard with a capo
Yes with the rights strings. As a bassist I find standard tuned baritone easier than a regular scale-length guitar.
Yea, if you can find extra long standard strings, because baritones use pretty thick strings that either won’t get up to standard, or it’ll be incredibly hard to play when you get it up there.
Hi
If youre an average guitarist then im probably not even a guitarist
You'll get there
Combustions not 1/2 step up, it’s an octave down, then 1/2 step up.
The bass is tuned same as the guitar, f. Its tuned up
@@ossisuomalainen I mean it’s down an octave from bass tuning. It’s crazy low.
So I think F1?? Maybe F0, idk

It took me a day
Cap
To do what
@@Ryan-mg1nw play bass
Probably a day
the baritone's not a real bass, bass players play with 4 or 5 strings. (hell, maybe those tryhard 6 string basses)

him plucking the bass gave me cancer
why the F you got a GRETCH xD that's no metal guitar
He’s a Hendrix lover he’s not metal lover lmao
@@graaaby Hendrix I think played Les Pauls
@@TrymTH-camMainChannel lol idk shit
@@graaaby well it's between Gibson Les Paul or Fender stratocasters if I remember correctly of some pictures / videos
Guitar players that play bass suck,
Stay in your lane
At the point of tuning a 6 string baritone to b standard, just buy a 7 string
