- Still trying to get this pick technique down a little better. Plenty of people say playing bass with a pick isn't "true" to the instrument, that it dilutes the art. Some even say it's a simplified way of playing bass, but in my humble opinion, playing with a pick is significantly more difficult. Probably because I started with finger plucking like most. I LOVE the way a pick can make a bass sound, but need to work on accuracy and flow some more.Either way, it's an important technique to learn and can really open up your sound, especially for rock and funk.
This is admittedly the only Cactus song I know, but it's funky as hell and fun to play lol. Allows for some noodlage if ya want to go there. I made a few mistakes, missed a string on a downstroke a few times, but the recording came out ok, Let me know what ya think.
I do not own any copyrights to "Evil" by Cactus.This video is being uploaded solely for practice and critique.

Man, thank you to cover one of my favorite musics. Please, play more of Cactus.
Ha, at the moment, this is the only song I've heard from Cactus lol. I'll do some digging to see about some more of their tunes, though. Love their sound. Thank you for the comment!
WOW, Tim Bogert & Cactus! It don't get no better...THX!
nice work Woot. play that bass with a pick, your fingers, slap it, hit it, punch it, play soft, play hard, play how the mood feels. nothing wrong about playing with a pick at all its another sound the bass can make and as a guitarist for 40 years and a bass player in a band for almost one year, I am finding you can get more sounds out of a bass guitar than possible with a 6 string guitar, all else equal.
Thanks much for the kind and encouraging words, man. That pick really is a challenge for me, but definitely worth working on (LOVE the sound of a pick, regardless of pickup config). I only know a few chords on the 6-string, so I can't really speak on versatility of sounds there, but you're absolutely right in that basses can take on lots of different voices depending on so many factors. Makes it all the more fun, IMO. Thanks again for the comment!
Bravo!
❤❤❤
Smokin’!
Excelente
Thank you!
Bien . bass underground esta musica es todo lo que es la naturalidad del rock elegant power. Bien hayy bass. Yo soy baterista chileno rock unde 70tas. Saludos.
Hey dude this was awesome you should go back to uploading i love your content
I really appreciate that. I've been pretty busy, but I'm planning to get back into recording videos more regularly this coming year. Thank you for the encouraging words!
Spot on mate, like the woody tone too..
Hey, thanks! The studio track's original bass tone is probably a little more "appropriate" for the song, but I wanted to try a more middy rock tone with the pick. Just to accentuate the pick attack. Almost added some distortion but decided against it. Glad it came through ok, though. Thanks much for the comment.
Good job boy! I'm trying to persuade my fellows to play with our band. Greetings from Florence
cozy70 Best of luck with the persuasion! Definitely a fun one to play on bass, but I’m sure on all the instruments involved. Thanks much for the kind words.
Kick ass dude. Great job! Gotta find the tab.
Hey, thank you!
If you're still looking, I'm about to fire up MuseScore and put down the sheet music (I always have a line for tablature too, unless it's freakin' obvious). Let me know if you want a copy.
Nice!
Thanks much!
Sounds great Woot! I need to make myself play with a pick. The ability for alternate picking and more aggressive attack is worth the patience to master the technique for sure:). Sounds to me like you're well on your way to that:)
Thank you! (yet again lol).
Gotta love the sound of a bass played with a pick. It's one of my favorite bass tones, so I had to make it a point to try and learn it. Definitely requires a different group of muscles and I struggle with accuracy a bit. But I'm slowly getting better with it, just trying different picks and materials, etc. It just FEELS good to me, and tends to make me play more expressively. Worth mastering, indeed.
Nailed it
Nice
good job dude,keep on rockin!
Thanks much! Really fun song to play. That pick is still something I'm working on, but I'm enjoying the process. Thanks again for the comment.
Sounds good to me, pick and all! :)
Thank you, much :)
You rock!
Hi man it's great cover really well done +1Like 👍
Hey, thank you
Squier 70's Precision? Did you change the stock pickups?
I did. The stock pickups were ok, but I changed them out to Seymour Duncan SPB-4's a few months after I got the bass. I love em.
Hi WOOT! Love you cover and I'm using it as my learning platform for this song! but do you have by anychance a tab for the song? it's all good until the solo where it proves much harder to decrypt it... Thanks!
Victor Jean Hey Victor, thanks much for watching. Unfortunately, I don’t have tabs or notation for the song. I just transcribed it by ear to the best of my ability. The solo part is pretty challenging, but can be figured out with a little time/patience/repetition. Not to mention, I didn’t learn it exactly as it was played - I simplified it a bit while attempting to maintain the intended groove. Hope that helps, but if not, there are some tablature sites that may have this songs’ tabs available for you to check out. Again, thanks for the kind words, and good luck.
@@woot1404 Good job on the ear transciption! I looked around but not to find any tabs... oh well ear transcription it is then!
What is the tuning to cactus?
This song is in standard (EADG) tuning, as far as I know 👌🏾.
Do you have the tabs of the song?
Sorry, I've got no tabs. Learned it by ear. My transcription isn't spot on, but the main riff is repetitive and fairly easy to keep up with. Really fun song to play, too. I sometimes use the "solo" part at 1:18 as part of my warm up :D
@@woot1404 Thanks, i'll figure it out then. Nice playing!!!
Thank ya, much!
Doots, why dont you ever show your face?
I suppose it allows me to relax a little more knowing the camera isn't capturing all my facial expressions and mouthed lyrics. Plus, I don't necessarily want my face to be the focus of the vid. Just a preference.
@@woot1404 I will say, the couple times I did see your face and you were just vibing, it gives off some pretty chill vibes and makes me listen harder.
@@melanieyarnot Duly noted. I’ll most likely continue to mix it up, but the feedback is appreciated.
