Hey Paul I was just wondering, since your accent is quite strong, where are you from?
How about spotlighting Matt Freeman of Rancid and Charger btw his punk and ska playing with Rancid to his Lemmy inspired playing with Charger Matt Freeman is one of the most versatile bass players in any genre of Rock Music.
putting up with mustaine's riffs on bass is pretty damn impressive
Ellefson is a very very talented player
Nope, actually i have awesome bass lines.
putting up with mustaine is pretty damn impressive
"Try learning the intro of Peace Sells and you know what I mean". Oh, you got me man
Megadeth is pretty much the grandaddy of technical thrash
I would also include DD Verni of Overkill.
So yeah, "the only constant member"... I'm so sad he got kicked out
I mean when Dave revived the band in 2004 with System has Failed, Ellefson wasn't there. He only came back around 2009-2010 after United Abominations
@@kylebrady969and the band lost a lot of it’s sound because of it
I think he is underrated, not in the metal community, on mainstream, as he is not talked about as much as say, Cliff or Steve Harris, or even John Myung for the technical freaks. He is more of thinking man's bass player. The rock community does feel he should be even more respected
Dave Ellefson is one of my favorites, along with Frank Bello of Anthrax.
this is from before a time when people knew about his secret right hand technique.
lol
The bass and drums at 0:54 just sound epic together!
Pick using bass players are almost always under rated. There is a certain snobbery aimed at them.
Hate to say it, but you’re right. As a guitarist who frequently doubles on bass, I usually get scrutinized a lot more for using a pick than I would playing finger style.
Funny thing is, everything I record with a pick is “sick, dude!” So there’s that!
What about Chris Squire or Christ Novoselic?
that snobbery was launched by that davie 504, sorry for my bad english
Chris Squire, Justin Chancellor, Paul McCartney, Carol Kaye. Even John Entwistle, Geezer Butler and John Paul Jones would switch to a pick for certain songs.
The punch, clarity and definition of the notes when using a pick just can't be duplicated playing fingerstyle, in my opinion. For me, my fingerstyle playing, the notes are just too muddy, the sound just too boomy. While I LOVE Cliff, Steve, Geddy, etc, pick players like Dave, Chris Squire, Duff McKagan, Krist Novolselic, and Eddie Jackson of Queensryche are where it's at for me.
What I’ve always though of Ellefson is that he’s not a unique player, it’s just that he plays the hardest shit ever because he follows the guitar 100% of the time.
@@WilliamSullivan-uv1ht Yeah.
No he doesn't
Step 1. Be the most precise bass player on earth
@@possumweekend Les Claypool precise?
@@possumweekend john myungs tone itself isnt really precise. Works in the mix, great player sure but also due to low tunings he often sounds quite muddy
Step 3: Don't wank on the loo and leak the tape.
Would love a how to sound like Audie Pitre of Acid Bath
Ellefson is definitely underrated and has some of the best bass tone. Megadeth have always been good when it comes to hearing bass on their albums. Even John Myung's great playing is ALWAYS low in the mix.
Love Dave for his playing and because he's a perfect way to shut the pie trap to anybody who starts to tell me the bass player who plays with a pick can't really play :)
David also uses his Brooklyn Era Spector NS-2 bass in the studio for songs that calls for a 4 string. He also owns and uses Modulus Quantum 5 basses along with his Jackson sig basses.
Excellent work. Thanks for doing this one. You've covered nearly all of my favourite bassists now.
"Bass habits" is a great video series. Keep going!
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I really love this series! Keep rocking dude you are awesome!
My suggestions for upcoming videos: Flea, John Paul Jones, Aston "Family Man" Barrett, Dusty Hill, John Myung, Robert Trujillo, Jaco Pastorius and Billy Sheehan
Please make a video about Jason Newsted
One of my favorite players, thank you. Still waiting to see Eric Avery.
You are THE MAN!! Ellefson is one of my favorites, and SOOO underrated. Thank you so much! P.S: I wrote this before seeing the video hahahaha
Use a flexible pick, play clean, precise and let the bass and amp settings do all the heavy lifting
My favorite of your “how to sound like” videos so far! I really enjoy how you break down a lot of the nuances of each player’s unique style. Ellefson is one of my heroes!
Great video. Ellefson is one of my top 3 bass players EVER. I have his signature Jackson bass with signature strings and of course Hartke amp.
How to sound like Dave Ellefson 2021?Reply with your best phone sex joke.Example:Dave Ellefson "No honey I swear..I was giving her a Zoom lesson on pull-offs"
Bust in Peace
@@Bassi3D noice
Love Ellefson's playing, he's such a killer player and Peace Sells was one of the first bass lines I learned how to play. Great video, man, I'd love to see one of these on guys like Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, John Entwistle or Flea sometime
You learned it but how long before you could actually play it?
On Poison Was the Cure, he played partial chord and pedal tone at the same time in his intro👍
He is more a guitar player that play bass to me.
Love your videos and work you put in.😎👍
Check the drum & Bass tracks of Holy wars, on the verse David locks with the Hihat by doing soft palm muting and lets it out once the snare comes in. Very tasteful and effective.
Do how to sound like Rex brown
What, get buried in the mix LOL
@@pensnut08 That was the case until Far Beyond Driven.
@@crazeyjoe I can hear the bass in Cowboys pretty good myself. Kinda reminds me of Jason Newsted’s Black Album tone but a little but more gritty.
@@ripperplaysclon152 You can hear the bass, however, the notes are not very distinguishable.
Metal bass master.
You should make a video about peter hook of joy division he has a very unique style
HE FOCKING LEFT THE BAAAAND
Can you do a video on roger glover or Glenn Hughes
I learn a lot from you, Paul. Thank you!
I love your videos way too much. Please do a video on how to sound like Peter Steele from Type O Negative or Sammy Kiska from Greta Van Fleet or the bassist from Royal Blood
I’d love to see how to sound like Paul Simonon from the clash I’ve been trying to find a style like his for awhile now
Been waiting for this
Can you please do "how to sound like Chris Squire"? I know he is not a metal or grunge or punk player but he is really really melodic and tough player.
Best pick player in the world. Period.
The best of the best of the best
RIP
Insane content, just watched your videos about Matt Free man and now this.
You earned a sub here.
Next video about DD Verni of Overkill please!.
To be perfectly honest, Overkill was never "my thing", they have some cool songs, but overall not my most favorite band.
But DD Verni is crazy as a Bass Player.
Video about Marko Hietala would be cool!
Even if he doesn't play on some studio hits, I can't wait for the Gene Simmons episode !
How to sound like Jared Followill from Kings of Leon, the dude has a really tasty tone in all of their songs
Word. Jared is in my top 5 favorites.
I would also like a How to sound like Carlos Dengler breakdown, the man is the bass player for Interpol and he's truly one of a kind. Arguably, one of the best rock bassist in the past 20 years.
Dear Paul, can you do a video on how to sound like John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin?
Hi! Can you do Mr. Billy Sheehan?
How to play like Billy Sheehan:
1-10. Be Billy Sheehan
How to sound like John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin.
🤘✨
Do steve harris pls
Actually Ellefson was gone for about three records.
And now the rest
Correct me if I'm wrong. I think Megadeth had a different bassist for a while.
Yeah, James Lomenzo for a while
@@DanielBeristain666 now he is playing with John Fogerty)
How to sound like Lexxi Foxx of Steel Panther
I'd love to sound like Gene Simmons!
Joey demaio
Ellefson did a good job of staying out of the way. Sadly, it’s a tough gig to add punch but not muddy the sound or the song. Even harder when the songwriter doesn’t have a great feel for bass. Metallica got away with it because Cliff was better than James and Dave, and learnt what to do after his death... Tom Araya is even better because you don’t even know there is a bass in Slayer LOL 😆
Not underrated. Everyone knows how bad ass he is
Underrated??? Maybe by those that doesn't pay attention. Easy to play like him??? Try it😒
Como Argentino tengo que decir "Aguante Megadeth"
We love Ellefson, his family paying was key in Megadeth’s sound. Considering the history of the band, good and bad, we felt Mustaine releasing Ellefson was a huge “dick move.”
SUBS PLEASE ESPAÑOL!!!!!
What's happening? All you talk about is how to sound like someone...have you decided to stop doing bass covers with tabs ??
We were utterly ashamed of how Mustaine treated Dave. and fired him. After all the history AND Mustaines shortcomings, we don’t under stand why he didn’t stand by Ellefson.🎧
