When Sharon got the harmonics I was like wow. Please do more of this Drumeo format it's great
YESSS! I clapped irl! I thought there would be another section of the video for harmonics
Yep, me too! Lovely moment in the video. Genuine delight from everyone!
Dream Theater: raising the bar for ambitious shredders since 1989.
Amen to that!!
Especially with Mike back, the anticipation is so loud for this album!
I Thought Since 1985... 🤔
@@KristianJoyZX_V-T-D. Well....actually it was Majesty
@@psionic6126
Yes, That's What I Mean...
"Raising The Bar For Ambitious Shredders Since The Majesty Days In 1985!".
That harmonic run is absolutely lush. Major kudos to Sharon for nailing it in such a short time. Fast fingers and a faster mind!
Sharon saying she MIGHT be better than she thinks she is, is the most humble thing ever possible on this channel. This was a freaking great job, and such a joy to watch!
Honestly, Falling into Infinity has a lot of bangers. New Millenium, Hell's Kitchen, Lines in the Sand, Trial of Tears...
It's aged extremely well!
Peruvian Skies is soooooo goooooood as well!
Anna Lee, Just Let Me Breathe... top three DT album easy.
@@jamesrosco4816Anna Lee is easily their worst song, and is an embarrassment. They're allowed to have just one, and that's the one.
@kahwigulum what's wrong with Anna Lee "trying to believe the scars unseen, the tears washed clean" has a great melody.
Myung is one of the reasons I started playing 6 strings. Anthony Jackson is another. I can't play their stuff very well, but practice is more enjoyable
He’s the reason I started playing, the live in Tokyo VHS sold me! Under a glass moon is the first song on it and right away I was addicted to that tape
Funny fact; myung is the reason i never started playing 6 strings
@@bassimprovjams3772 And to think that the whole Images and Words was recorded on a 4 string is mind boggling
It's cool that all these apps exist to help bassists learn new songs. Back in my day we had play parts of a cassette over and over until we got it. I also learned to play a lot of songs live on a stage. The guitarist would just call out the progression and key, like I, V, vi, IV in Am. Then we'd play it.
Doug Pinnick is one of my favorite vocalists and bassists. Thank you for sharing this. I did not know that he sang a tune with Dream Theater. John Myung is a maestro. It's good to see a younger musician experience the excellent songwriting of Dream Theater and the brilliance of the bass, the backbone of any great song.
Shes a machine and a talented young lady.
Im more into drums but lines in the sand is one of my favourite dream theater songs ever
Falling Into Infinity was probably the biggest record of my childhood.. i thoroughly enjoyed this 💆🙏😻
Mine too
I love this record too, is so good and have a lot of good feelings behind the songs when you listen carefully. It's the most proggy album from DT.
It's peak DT to me. Scenes from a memory is great and all but this album is just so damn musical.
Very much underrated unfortunately
Not sure about the most proggy (Scenes, Six Degrees and Octovarium are more prog to my ears) but it's aged really well and is extremely well mixed!
Grinning ear to ear watching this. Fell off with DT after 'Awake' but the two of you are absolutely full of such positive energy. Biggest smiles of the day for me. Thank you!
Oh, the Bass Face at 4:37. Pure Gold. Fantastic video folks.
The talent and ability to do something like this in a lighthearted way, nail it and laugh about how you didn't quite "get it" is inspirational to a hack like me that will never be able to do a fraction of what you can do, because your attitude and enthusiasm are are so real. Thank you!
Loved this video! So fun to watch other people's process of transcription. Also great to see other folks sing the parts to learn faster! Keep em' coming, SBL!
What I learned from this is double tracked bass sounds so good! Good job you two.
Falling Into Infinity deserves more love!
Ian made an amazing choice!
I thought you said falling in reverse at first and I actually threw up in my mouth a bit.
@@jamesadamgleason9471 🤣 I meant Dream Theater’s fourth studio album
It definitely deserves more love!!
Love you two. SBL is lucky to have you both on board. :D
SBL is effing awesome and I love everything you do. You guys are a blessing to bass players. Please keep up the good work and great ideas.
YES! Please make more of these videos. It is entertaining, yes, but seeing the way Sharon breaks down the bassline and learns in general is very informative and inspiring.
New subscriber from this video ✌🏼
Mad props to Sharon! Loved that you showed the process and what a tune!
One of my favourite tracks of all time. this helped me figure out the long run. TY Allison and Sharon!♥
This content is just getting better and better. Keep up!
That was fun! Great job Sharon!
Fantastic job Sharon! One of my favorite DT songs of all time! I met John once at a show and he was such a humble and down to earth person. Superb job! Brent VT
Same! I met him and got him to sign my Yamaha 5 string even got to make him smile and chuckle lol I was still a Teen at that Time so he was probably happy to see a young dude playing bass
Sharon has such an amazing personality, so cute and smart and an amazing bassist of course , I always enjoy see her in your videos.
Some of these songs live in my heart. Now you do too.
John Myung - literally reason 6 string Music Man basses exist. I love that some parts of his that sound super hard to play are actually pretty easy as long as you have decent technique and speed. When I first heard Panic Attack I was like "Oh man, whew, I bet that is hard." Then I learned it and I was like, Oh, Pull Me Under was way harder, even though it sounded easier. (Although I guess it helps if you cut your teeth on Steve Harris for 15 years first. 😁 )
I love these challenges and especially love Ian doing interviews. You have some great questions!
The bass playing is extraordinary. But I gotta tell ya: that editing was beyond!!! Kudos to the Production Team AND the bassists! 😎
So awesome, Sharon you are amazing! I’m going to go practice now, because I am
completely humbled. Also please do more vids like this!
This was a blast to watch! Please do more videos like this :)
I love this idea! It's also super helpful for musicians who are still in the early stages of learning to see professionals working through the same exact problems that they have!
Most musicians that have this musical gift are so cool and humble about it.
Watching you learn that specific song/part made me SO happy! Congrats you killed it. 🏆🔥 Easily one of DTs riffiest, catchiest songs and a blast to play. Looking forward to the follow up. And hopefully Just Let Me Breathe 😉👊🏻
this was awesome!!
That was nuts! Amazing.
Amazing videos ... and really translate all the emotions we have when we are learning a tune!! congrats guys!!
This was so fun! Well done!
Sharon killed it!
Maaan that Transcribe! application is helpful. Good work on this one and thanks for turning me onto that program!
Great stuff!! Thanks
That tone is so good!!
Awesome! Sharon is so incredibly talented.
This was really cool! Sharon is rad and I learned it along with her. I'd love to see more of this kind of thing on the channel.
More to come!!
Amazing work!
Sharon is so much fun!!! been loving the Ian/Sharon podcast duo and i think Sharon should talk on them more!
My first DT album was this and since then I’ve been hooked to DT. Love the sonic quality of this album personally.
The album is my favorite of DT's, and this song (including the surrounding songs) is the best of the bunch. Simply my favorite.
This looks like it was so much fun!
Sharon has a killer tone on that Warwick and I'm blown away by the way she pivots - I have smaller hands and it's great seeing how she moves around those low notes on the fifth string. Properly inspiring stuff!
Amazing challenge!
I love you guys so freakin' much. And as a die-hard Dream Theater fan, I enjoyed every second of it. I can't wait for more to come. You (and maybe a few other guys on TH-cam) make me wanna learn to play bass (as fast as possible). 🧡
🧡🧡🧡
Amazing! She did it in a blast! Such an excellent ear perfect pitch you have their! Keep it up! God Bless!
Freaking awesome!!! Loved it 100%!!! More like this please.
Aaaaah!!! Yeaaaaah!!! Go Sharon!!!! ❤❤❤ Loved this so much! Also adore the camaraderie between you two, Ian and Shroonz! Thanks for the total radness! PS. Shoutout for rad editing too, Yogev 😎
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Only seen her in a few videos but I love this girl. She knows her shit. Very well done
I love this format, it keeps the playing real, showing actual methods for learning !
Sharon's idea about learning it vocally first has changed my life!!! Incredible work
🧡🧡🧡
this was so fun!!!
🧡🧡🧡
I'm not a bassist (although I own a bass), but I love this exact part in Lines in the Sand. You both have made this extremely fun. Now I want a six string bass!
Absolutely LOVE this…. Everything about it!
As a DT fan, and an amateur bass player, I can’t quite find the right words to describe how happy watching this awesome video makes me. “Swept away with the tiiide!!”
🧡🧡🧡
Fun to watch!
I could imagine a weekend workshop of doing an intensive musical seminar with such master bass players.
Sooo good video! Nice!
Thanks Sharon & Ian, that was great !
Cheers!
really digging thoses videos!
Great work
That was so fun! 🎉
Great chanel
More Dreamtheater and John Myung! 🙏🙏
That’s awesome!! Soo great grasp in so short time 🖖🤓😎
I loved this album, saw them on this tour and it was fantastic. I was up against the barricade in standing room only club where they played. My cousin and I got there early and we got to listen to sound check and got to meet them as well. it was such a great night.
Nice!!!
When you played together - that's been just phenomenal!
Such a great content
While the Ian and Scott content is like hanging out with the guys. The Sharon and Ian content is a cut above! Great video and bonkers playing.
She's fantastic!
Brilliant, my second favourite DT album 💥
More of this, please
Huge DT fan and this is also one of my favorite songs and albums. Great choice!!
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
This was the first DT song that I had ever heard, my friend in school played it to me some 24 years ago and I was instantly hooked. I'd never heard anything like it at that time or a drum kit played like that.
Having spent around 20 hours in SBL i gotta say that Ian is just a really good teacher. He makes really complicated things seem easy to understand.
Falling Into Infinity is my favorite Dream Theater album, and Lines In The Sand is my favorite of their songs....so...great choice!
Loved this. Really glad you highlighted something off of this album. "New Millenium" also happens to be Myungs only usage in his entire career with DT that uses a chapman stick as well!!! Very experimental album. I love trial of tears, Just let me breathe, and this song right here..... Lines in the sand happens to be one of the best Keyboard openings DT has of ALL time if you're into some keys!!!!
Some gems in here. Three observations:
1) I love this teaching chemistry between the two of you. Y’all dance the line of mentor/colleague really nicely and it’s so fun.
2) Transcribe is a gem; one that I haven’t thought about since trying to learn NHØP solos in college…
3) The last thing you said is great. Never lose sight of your abilities despite the lies your brain makes up!
4) I’d say that Dance of Eternity DT’s Sir Duke 😮💨
This was very dope!! I liked this one.❤
Glad you liked it!!
What fun! I played Lines in the Sand for like a decade
Dude no way! I found this right after your Tool video and low and behold this is my FAVORITE Dream Theater song of all time. Love DT and this song (and album) is amazing! Total Godsend providence. I have been rocking out to this song for over 20 years.
Also, this bass line has always fascinated me and it’s probably DT’s most overtly Christian song.
First song I ever learned was Erotomania. Not first DT song I ever learned. First song ever. From absolute know-nothing to proficient. It was the only thing I tried to play. Did it all from ear, and it took about a year. It was the song that made me actually pick up the bass. Worth it. Everything else seems easy by comparison.
You went in at the deep end with that one, well done for sticking with it!!
Man, I love watching Sharon vibe this hard!
🧡🧡🧡
No kidding, the part she says "I'm not happy right now, but I will be so happy when I'm able to play it". HOLD ON TO THAT FEELING.
This simple feeling can help you get motivation to learn new songs. Savor it.
when the Berklee ensemble pic got out up I did the Leo meme pointing at the screen. im like that's Yogev Gabay
Doug Pinnick's voice is f'n awesome
Sharon is awesome … fantastic timing, feel and ear
💯💯💯
I'm liking her straight off after just few minutes. ❤ Keep her involved 😊
Lots more to come from Sharon!!
I love the album!
She nailed it ... impressed!
The album is great, as is Sharon!
I was thinking this would be fun to learn. Then I remembered I only have a 4 string 😅
Nailed it!!!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Sharon my days! What a hero, incredible chops!
Do more of this pleaseee!😁😁
Unbelievable Amazing Drumming !!! I feel I've Learned stuff by Watching You Play. You Do Beautiful Work on the Drums !!! One of the Greatest I've Ever Seen!!! Keep Up the Amazing Work !!! I Will Watch A Lot More of Your Videos.
Lines in the sand is my most favorite song. Everything in this track is incredible. And of course guitar solo is amazing.
It's a killer tune, no question! One of quite a few on Falling Into Infinity!
How have I never watched this channel before, it's so fun (my excuse is I play guitar). Fellow Berklee alum here, this was great! Great job 🤘
