For my earlier three finger picking lesson : www.talkingbas...
A couple of weeks ago I gave a little breakdown of Raining Blood by Slayer and showed you how avoiding the standard doubling of guitar riffs can work really well. I was also asked for a little more metal in the bass lessons.
So this week I’m going to give an example of the opposite effect of doubling a very frenetic riff in the shape of the greatest love song ever written: Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse.
Alex Webster is an awesome bass player with sick 3 finger picking chops. Hammer Smashed Face is a great example of how to apply that technique in a death metal setting.

It's official, this guy is possibly the coolest guy on youtube
*Mark nonchalantly murdering and annihilating every other online bass educator with the best theory, tricks, technique, and now even extreme metal tutorials videos*
"Hey again, Mark here from Talking bassdotnet:D"
Josh from BassBuzz is still cool, right?
@@ripperplaysclon152 Josh is cool. Known him a long time.
Both are actually my preferred online teachers. They have a very intuitive way of presenting and teaching the material.
Mark from TalkingBass doing a lesson on CC song ? Is this real life ?
I've known him since he was 3 and if you'd seen him 25 years ago this would be *no* surprise :P
Ian Freud we want pictures!
Is this just fantasy?
Most metal lessons from professional instructions are usually extremely inaccurate. This guy gets it.
I actually thought the 3 finger picking was the claw and thumb the hammer I guess I misunderstood 3 finger a claw or talon 3 on a eagle the thumb being 4th claw on the Eagle is that all wrong?
this thumbnail is art
I'm surprised and impressed you're covering this content.
I love that you're making Cannibal Corpse so educational haha, cheers!
Why it wouldnt be?
Alex Webster has an awesome bass book if anyone is interested.
What is it called!!??? ✊👍🤙
@@forthepeople5066 Extreme Metal Bass: Essential Techniques,
@@Neliesje thank you friend. May the gods bless you with the strength to bury your Enemies in their own Blood! Amen!!! 🙏
Nice to see Alex Webster get some love. Dude is a beast on his instrument, and is one of the coolest guys you could ever meet.
This! From bach to this....You are awesome man. Shifting to your lessons soon.
Now, your versatility really makes you an AWESOME bass player.
I've been watching your tutorials for a while and seen you play many great lighter melodies (in terms of sound, ofc), and seeing you making SLAYER and Cannibal Corpse tutorial makes you a perfect example of WHAT IS a perfect bass player.
Keep up a nice job!
PS: Thank you alot, especially for a great explaination.
I love the juxtaposition of your clinical approach (which is certainly a good thing) with teaching death metal!
Mark, I've been following you for a couple years and I can't even tell you how glad I am that you're doing metal lessons. It seems most youtube bass instructional channels just avoid metal altogether, so utmost respect to you, good sir.
Yess! We love you Mark!! Thank you so much for providing such diversity. I've been playing a long time but trying to "come out of retirement". Thanks to you I have been building a firmer foundation than I ever had before. Rock on Mark!!
Please make a video about evil sounding scales or tritons I m really into stuff like that
John M tritones? Meaning flat 5?
Kellen Mills sorry I don t know music theory
nah its cool my man, tritones are just an interval used because they sound scary. There isnt much to it
For evil sounding stuff, I'd recommend experimenting with and researching the following things.
-the phrygian, phrygian dominant, and the phrygian double harmonic modes
-chromatic tonality (particularly how it's used in metal)
-the octatonic scale
-minor thirds, diminished fifths, and major sixths
TheAmazingDom thank you man your advise is usefull for me
Great lesson!
but I have to say: I watched hoping to see you playing the NEXT RIFF!
the one when the bass is solo
could you PLEASE make a lesson teaching it?
I love your channel btw
Hi Mark! After 20+ years of playing guitar to a point where I'm not as good as I could be and not interested enough to get better, I picked up bass because I'm hooked on Funk - also because bass players are a dime a dozen, but really GOOD bass players are hard to find. I searched everywhere for tutorials on the techniques of funk/slap bass and found yours. Gotta say, I still suck but I have been able to craft some neat slap licks with some cool ghost note stuff in there too just form watching a few of your lessons and practicing the techniques. Would love to see more videos going over exercises slap player wannabes can use to improve accuracy, speed, and coordination. You videos are excellent so I know I will get a lot from them!
Have you thought about covering some of Tool's basslines?
Jason F. Yup Coming soon
TalkingBass - Online Bass Lessons pls no Schism, it's kinda overused. Can you do Right in Two or The Pot?
10:38 what y'all came for
Bach to Cannibal Corpse, this is officially the best bass teacher on the planet
Your technique is awesome. I am really impressed. I wished I had more mind to work on my technique and ear.
Well, it's not my common bread'n butter but your lesson is crystal clear! You're really multi-talented, Mark!
This made me so happy, dear lord. You're amazing, thank you.
Im a guitarist but dabble with bass now and then. I just made major leaps with this video. Thank you. Subscribing.
This song is a classic! Thanks for the video!
I don’t even like Cannibal Corpse but I still love this lesson
One does not need to like Cannibal Corpse, it's just something you do to yourself in order to escape suicidal thoughts.
Momus Invictus if that ain’t the most edgy shit I’ve read all day.
Momus Invictus well, whatever works for you, but I just like their music
Momus Invictus Nah, it's just something I do to myself in order to listen to some good music
@@causticgrip8329 Edgelord
Love these metal lessons! Also wondering if you might cover some of the more interesting lines that Sting played with The Police? Maybe Spirits in the Material World to start? Thanks for all you do.
Orders of magnitude the coolest bassist teacher...anywhere. Where were you 27 years ago when I started playing bass on my death metal band?. Awesome stuff
Please do a lesson on the solo/riff. You have a great way of breaking stuff down and making it understandable
When people say Death metal is just noise for people who can't play their instruments properly Alex Webster is always the first person I bring up . He's a virtuoso , your average bass player can't just pick up one of his bass lines and get it right . He's super humble as well despite being well above and beyond most the level of most the his contemporaries .
Great lesson as well btw !
Great no nonsense lesson!
Your bass tone is so fucking brutal, thanks for the lessons! =)
Wow. Just discovered this excellent tutorial. You’ve just got a new subscriber.
When you say "pickup," it sounds a bit like "pickle."
oh yes thank you so much! I'll practice this asap :)
Please, could you do the 'solo' right before the vocals kick in?
Vlad Muntean that's not a solo, goddammit
Álvaro Gorefest I know, but everyone called it a solo so I thought it would've been easier to understand if I called it so too
I was hoping he would do it too ;-( The whole song is legendary but that bit is just pure filth. Love it.
Andrew Shirley He hearted my comment so there is still hope :)
Vlad Muntean I understand, but man I hate with a passion when everytime the bass sounds alone people say it's a solo.
This video was fu***ng awesome. Please make more Thrash and death metal bass lessons
Ahh awesome and helpful video! I'll need to apply this in my playing!
Nicely done Mark!
When I bought a bass two months ago and checked some of your lessons out I thought you were just a nice local YT bass guy showing kids the ropes.
I now see that you sir are a badass, forgive me.
Mark Arandjus Ha ha. You are forgiven! Might be worth checking out some of my other vids. There are over 260 of them. Cover everything from beginner stuff to advanced jazz to metal to crazy tapping Les style. I'm probably about as non-local as you can get. Been a professional bass player for over 20 years and barely ever played in my home town. Spent way more time out of the country to be honest.
Very good. Interesting lesson. Not into cannibal corpse but I am into metal as a whole.
Have you done any lessons on getting a certain tone? I always struggle to get the sound I want. And if I do my 10 month old daughter plays with the knobs!
Great channel bro!!! Very educational bass lesson🤘🏼😈
im not going to lie, you dont look like someone who could nail that. but you did perfectly. right on man! you gotta start doing more metal lessons!
I must agree that this is the greatest love song to be written
Thanks! Appreciate the lesson!
I don't play bass I just like watching people play instruments
Thats it, you officially hammer smash every other bass education channel.
Very cool song choice
I started out with guitar and starting playing bass 20 years later. So much easier for me to use a pick.
Great bass tone!
HAMMER SMASHED FACE!!!!
You should've covered the next riff.
Also LOL at the thumbnail! :D
Blues scale&tritons! We need it more!
My experience is, if you're gonna do the 3-finger gallop; you really should do it closer to the bridge. Reason being that if you're doing it in performance the soundguy will have your bass channel EQed a certain way; and if you pick that at the neck most of what the system will pick up (because you WILL be DI-boxed 90% of the time; meaning your amp tone will have no say in the matter) will be the "pops and clicks" of your finger hitting string, or string hitting neck. Picking closer to the bridge will minimize that; and give you more "note' than 'pop' in the output. It's a bit harder on the hand, but the sound will be better.
He said the greatest love song ever written, Hammer Smashed Face ❤❤❤❤❤
okay, now i want you to do a lesson on the same song but the tremolo picking part at 240bpm
That sunglasses tan is on point
G'day mate just found your channel. It's awesome. Liked n subed cheers
Awesome lesson, thanks.
Great video mate.. just wondering, what mods have you done to your bass?
All the best, keep up the good work 👍🏻
Adam Paterson Sims Super Quad pickups, Glock preamp and Hipshot Detuner
Can you please breakdown Meshuggah: Bleed is very difficult because the bass player use a pick and is very fast the four note group he plays constantly , great videos btw 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very good lesson. Cheers
Classic song, great video 👍👌👌🤘
Lol. Greatest love song!
Me: Oh look, a smooth jazz bass lesson
Him: So, this is Hammer Smashed Face...
This is amazing
Greatest love song ever written ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Please do a lesson covering playing other subdivisions with 3 fingers such as straight 16th note pedals which are common in metal. If you already have please redirect me, love your content! 👍
Nobody explains a bass line as well as this gentlemen . I also noticed right away one the Sims pickups he has them both set on the Humbucking setting . Which to me is my favorite tone those peerless , astonishing pickups make . Honest the only active pickups I'd ever want in my bass .
dad: play me a song you learned
me after watching this video: so you have chosen, death
amazing bass!!!
thank you for the "metal harmony" explanation. indeed. metal in it's composition is just as if they were looking for tensions that other genres seemingly avoid. also because if you want to take a deep dive into metal theory you kinda have to explain a lot of things with modal interchange, cromaticisms and what not. also, metal musicians don't break their heads that much with theory they just plug in what sounds cool and call it good (maybe save for the prog metal guys).BUT, when it comes to bassline creation for metal, you can use the same principle you use while soloing: the less notes the chord has, the more you can play around with scales and modes for example if you have an Eb5 playing in palm mutes you can plug in anything from Eb Aeolian to Eb minor pentatonic to harmonic minor to even a major mode like lydian (of course you must keep within the vibe the song has but still). but like you said following the guitar is usually a good idea in this genre. anyways. cheers, mate. great vid
New to yout channel (and not a bass player lol) so sorry if you've gotten this question alot...but what kinda bass is that?! The color is to die for, and those pickups are sick!!!
It's an old Ibanez SR1000 I bought around 1992. They were all the rage back then. Pimped it a lot since. Got hipshot detuner and a Glockenklang preamp. I've also moved through several different pickup sets. Started with Ibanez stock, then EMG P J set and finally the Sims Super Quads you see now. You'll see how it was just by looking at a bunch of my older videos.
Thank you 😊
Hell yeah I love this!
yeah keep it up with the metal videos excellent
i hoping for a lesson on that bass fill. dope video though
Now that's cool.
What is that bass? I've never seen a Soundgear with pickups like that. They sound great though!
Berzerker style! Energy drink sold separately.
Mark, it looks like you just got back from Marbella when you made this video ;) Also, care to mention what Pick ups you are using?
Thank you!!!
totally unrelated to this video but please can I request you also do a tutorial on Solfeggietto - you did a great video playing it some time ago - can you teach us that too ?
gallaxyquest there's already a video of him teaching it, as well as a live session series of him learning it. I learned it, thanks to him.
Was hoping he would play the cool bass solo line in the song
I love your channel bro
Please make a video on david ellefson and his riffs!!
Really wish you would have given a tutorial on the entire song and not just the intro. The bass solo before the song kicks in I could never figure out. At some point I do hope you’ll do a tutorial on the whole song and not just the intro.
Hey man. Maybe a dumb question, but what are those pickups? I've never saw them before, with those led's. Thanks!
Is it fine to pluck like index-middle-ring instead of the way he teaches? That how I started doing it and it sounds kinda sloppy playing faster, and im not sure if the other way would sound better or if i just need more practice.
Cool bass what is it? :)
What is that bass/pickups?
hello Mark, what about the gears and the effects used up here?.
Where's this lad from? Wexford? Limerick?
Cheers this is a killer video
JoySynthesis Nope. Yaaarkshire.
I was close. Cheers from Waterford!
Mark, and chance of you covering any Stranglers songs?
FINALLY THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!
Alright I signed up for the free stuff but NOW I’m paying !
Nice lesson but dont rush hahaha keep It Up!
Now THAT'S what I call a thumbnail!
Maybe some John entwistle next?
Woah.
