I just started playing bass about 6 weeks ago, I'm 57. I watch your lessons daily and I can't believe I made it through this song! I love tool...Thank you!
I played guitar for 35 years, kudos, you must be a quick learning and you are obviously enjoying it, you can't go wrong with that attitude, I too still get a massive buzz learning new music and studying it.. Good luck.
Oh, also, I play 95% finger style and when I have to play with a pick, I sound like I only just picked (ha) up the bass. It'd be cool to see a lesson dedicated to playing with a pick for people who are more accustomed to finger style (if you haven't done one already) and where the hold the hand, how to mute, all that good technical stuff. Thank you in advance!
This was helpful, I was doing this by ear and I was picking the hammer on, as someone playing a little less than a month that was way to fast for picking. thanks
Thanks so much for this amazing video. When I looked at the tabs for this I thought there was no way on earth I’d be able to do it. This video was a godsend. Explained it perfectly, got it down in about ten minutes. Thanks guy. Keep rocking 🤘🤘
Awesome! Makes it easier for me to understand now! Tool always gives me trouble with time signatureThanks, Mark! Greetings from Philippines and do The Pot next time. :)
Thanks again...you did it again Marc...well I second a request by amrut, if you could do Vicarious by Tool one day, this is one of the best signature Tool lines
In that case you should also mention the change of the riff after Mainard starts singing. There's one round how it is shown here and then one round where the rhythm pattern is the same but after the triplet on the D string it's E(9) to D(7) instead of F(10) to E(9) on the G string. And after the second triplet it's E, D, F instead of F, E, G. And then playing these two riffs alternating several times.
I'd LOVE for you to demonstrate that part of the TOOL song on "46 & 2" just after the four minute mark. I simply can't figure it out and it seems the cover videos on youtube are ignoring what's really happening there.
I'm learning bass from a clarinet background. I'm doing well with the fingerings, but no one explained just how difficult the plucking or picking patterns would be. This will take quite some time.
Is it bad that I never count notes on riffs? I've never taken a single lesson but I have a pretty good ear for pitch and tone on the bass. Would counting the time sig even help me at this point since I listen for how it feels to me?
For the life of me i cant get the hammers to sound right. I dont know if its because my strings are raised to high or its my cheap 25 dollar bass from amazon! Just replaced the strings and they sound great so it isn't those. I still might not be doing it properly so i might need to practice more but I'm on my third day of just doing the hammers and it still doesn't sound right and my finger tips are really, really sore. Do you have any tips for me because I really wanna get this song down?
ive learned most of the song, but the parts i have the most trouble learning is the small bridge section in the begining and later int he song with the triplets on every note and it completely frustrates me because for the first one, i never really learned how to strum with the pick so im mostly down stroking, and the later bit im just not fast enough
I just recently got my first bass and whenever I hammer on from an open string it vibrates like it should but also gives a second not because it’s also vibrating from my finger to the nut. Any tips to eliminate the second note?
This is a sick bass line, I think it's the first time I understood their sound and liked it, too start with I hate the bass sound and thought It was too wet and treble sounding but it's about how that sits amongst the other sounds I guess...
Wal wanna be. The owner of the company tried talking Pete @ Wal to go into business together. He refused and not long after his death?...this company released the bass that was already planned.....
Wal, the brand of bass he's using and also what Justin Chancellor of tool has used, makes their own proprietary pickups for their basses. You can usually get close by using any two humbuckers or a jazz bass platform, scoop the mids and add chorus.
@@roach7202 Trust me it’s totally smashed in. You just just can’t tell on the vid. It’s badly broken and what’s left of the cartilage is pushed right over into one nostril. Causes major problems with flying (insane headaches) and I can’t scuba dive because of it.
You really spent 9.5 minutes going over the main riff but couldn’t mention the intro, the chorus, the interlude??? The main riff is the part everyone knows!
I just started playing bass about 6 weeks ago, I'm 57. I watch your lessons daily and I can't believe I made it through this song! I love tool...Thank you!
I started playing 5 years ago. Keep it up!
Wow that means that I can yay . I wanna start soon

thank you for this comment - gives me hope
music doesn’t have age, keep it up, man

Thank you in advance!
Yup. Already done. Just search for bass pick playing and it'll probably appear.
I always did this “finger style“, after seeing this I tried the pick....I have to work on it.
@@talkingbasslessons What's the name of the bass you're playing? And where can I buy one like that?
I can finger this better than picking tbh but you gotta play up the neck
My fav song helped so much
Just started playin bass month ago and almost completed schism
You are an amazing teacher, great tutorial!! Bass guitar sounded really good also!
Great lesson, a hell of a lot better than the incorect version I learnt from on line tab sites. Nice one Mark!
Thank you so much, I am just starting on bass and I am learning so much from you.
Mark you're an awesome teacher. Thanks for your lessons.
This was helpful, I was doing this by ear and I was picking the hammer on, as someone playing a little less than a month that was way to fast for picking. thanks
You have the coolest bass guitars man
Sooner or later I'll know how these pieces fit, before I watch my fingers fall away
Great teaching, your form is perfect! Thank you 🎉😎😇🐯. Could you possibly do the other song sections?
Tool is so amazing
the bass color is spectacular.
Recently discovered your channel and I'm one helluva Tool fan. This is such a great combination. Love your channel, Mark.
Odd... I was trying to work this one out just last night :)
As always... thanks for everything!
Oddy enough+1
Could you take a look at Vicarious next?
What's the bass in your picture? It looks cool
I have a video of the full song on my channel if you want to see how it's played. Not a tutorial though 😊
You deserve more followers! You are a great teacher!

Okay okay okay. I followed you on IG now. You've managed to convince me that you should be in my life with this video.
You know this riff is like a tenth of the song right?
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation
btw this is the best lesson vid i've came across for schism, this vud makes it 100 times easier to learn the riff!!!
awesome and super effective lesson, concentrating on the things that matter - thanks so much!
Thanks, this is *so* helpful.
Great lesson. But I’d love to see a lesson for the rest of the song. That whole middle section to the end is outrageous.
Good lesson. Been wanting to play this one for a while.
after you play that riff a couple times, the song drops down a fifth and you play the entire thing one string down. then back up.
Holy shit thank you, I figured out the first part on my own but couldn't figure out the rest
In that case you should also mention the change of the riff after Mainard starts singing. There's one round how it is shown here and then one round where the rhythm pattern is the same but after the triplet on the D string it's E(9) to D(7) instead of F(10) to E(9) on the G string. And after the second triplet it's E, D, F instead of F, E, G. And then playing these two riffs alternating several times.
the time signature also changes when he drops it a fifth, he goes from alternating between 5/8 and 7/8 to alternating between 6/8 and 7/8
@@ricardov8753 yes I was looking for this one. Goes into a 7/4 feel
You just helped me so much
I'd LOVE for you to demonstrate that part of the TOOL song on "46 & 2" just after the four minute mark. I simply can't figure it out and it seems the cover videos on youtube are ignoring what's really happening there.
thanx a lot for it, great lesson..it sounds nice 👍😁
Number one bass riff of all time and I got back from watching watch mojos top bass lines and schism was an honorable mention
I'm learning bass from a clarinet background. I'm doing well with the fingerings, but no one explained just how difficult the plucking or picking patterns would be. This will take quite some time.
Thanks for such a great one!Wish there would be more lessons for JC lines
Amazingly played
Thank you so much
Mark that was really nice , much thanks
Hi Mark - would you mind sharing what you are using for an Audio Interface. Great Tone!
Its also helpful to think that the accented notes of the riff follow maynard's vocal melody
It's similar, but the phrasing is different
Great tutorial
Is it bad that I never count notes on riffs? I've never taken a single lesson but I have a pretty good ear for pitch and tone on the bass. Would counting the time sig even help me at this point since I listen for how it feels to me?
I love the color of the bass. Could anyone tell me what model it is?
Enfield Lionheart
amazing brother thank you
Fantastic video!
Awesome lesson, it'd be awesome if you did some Megadeth lessons.
Already done one. Holy Wars.
@@talkingbasslessons yes, i watched that one but it was too hard for a 2 week bassist like me haha
Dang, this is tough for someone who just started playing. Love the riff though.
How are you getting on with it? I've had mine a week and about to attempt this when I get home .....
For the life of me i cant get the hammers to sound right. I dont know if its because my strings are raised to high or its my cheap 25 dollar bass from amazon! Just replaced the strings and they sound great so it isn't those. I still might not be doing it properly so i might need to practice more but I'm on my third day of just doing the hammers and it still doesn't sound right and my finger tips are really, really sore.

The one dislike is Justin chancellor
Paul D'Amour wrote it actually.
I just recently got my first bass and whenever I hammer on from an open string it vibrates like it should but also gives a second not because it’s also vibrating from my finger to the nut. Any tips to eliminate the second note?
Slappin da bass 😎
This song is on Drop D Tuning btw (DADG)
It is, however for the purposes of this video it's rather irrelevant.
Tristan J. Cumpole what do you mean by that
@@Jesse-mh6hv For the purposes of this video, standard E or dropped D work equally well. The lower two strings aren't necessary for this one motif.
@@TristanJCumpole I didnt wrote it as a ''why didnt you mention it'' thing, i wanted to inform people who may want to do the whole song.
@@6md Sure.
what bass is that?
This is a sick bass line, I think it's the first time I understood their sound and liked it, too start with I hate the bass sound and thought It was too wet and treble sounding but it's about how that sits amongst the other sounds I guess...
What kind of bass is he playing here?
Wal wanna be. The owner of the company tried talking Pete @ Wal to go into business together. He refused and not long after his death?...this company released the bass that was already planned.....
Ron Broder riffs?
Yeah good luck theres so much more to this song. This is like smole sweet summer childs over here. Wait until you get to the 2:30 mark and after.
What pick ups you using
Wal, the brand of bass he's using and also what Justin Chancellor of tool has used, makes their own proprietary pickups for their basses. You can usually get close by using any two humbuckers or a jazz bass platform, scoop the mids and add chorus.
I'm not great. But new, slinky, clangy strings make this riff sound more accurate and fucking sick compared to older strings.
100% dead string are a drag
Don't know why I find "one and two and three and diddlyda" so funny.
The slap bass intro, tone is that tool bass sound to a t even though you are playing funk, did you use same setting For the lesson?
I just learned it, from a musescore file, and I finger pick it.
So that's the intro... how about the rest of the song?
Just found your channel. Love the content. Keep up the work 👍
I think of it as 12/8
i cant do those hammer ons
But there is a key change that you didn’t cover 😒
Ссска ты охфигителен !!! , но без дубляжа , ты просто красивая картика со звуком 😇😇😇😇😅
Вот для чего нужен английский)
Who else is watching this at 0.25 x speed and _still_ can't see what he's doing?
Anyone???
Yeah he's like nice, now you have about a tenth of the song in the bag lol
smoke on the water
nexpo
He played some SLAPP! EPIC! Davie504 approved
Probably not.... congrats u nailed 2 bars of a 10 minute song.
This guy looks like Jonesy from fortnite aged up by 20-30 years
Probably because of my absolutely smashed in nose
@@talkingbasslessons nah bro your nose isn't smashed in, it's just kinda small
@@roach7202 Trust me it’s totally smashed in. You just just can’t tell on the vid. It’s badly broken and what’s left of the cartilage is pushed right over into one nostril. Causes major problems with flying (insane headaches) and I can’t scuba dive because of it.
@@talkingbasslessons oh don't worry bro the ocean is incredibly overrated.
Can you not finger it?
Who needs a lesson for that???????????????????
You really spent 9.5 minutes going over the main riff but couldn’t mention the intro, the chorus, the interlude??? The main riff is the part everyone knows!
Amazing talent, 9 minutes to explain a simple riff of 6 notes...
Online Bass Lessons: This song is played with a PICC.
