The only reason I call it a bass guitar is because because I play in a jazz band and I told my drummer to rent a bass… it was an upright bass and I had to learn it 5 days before the gig.
This is what I presume the expectations are every time I see his name mentioned. "Check this out guys. Les Claypool." Bassists: I clapped because I know who that is!
@@larsheuker It is not a triplet! A triplet is three notes of the same length played in a duration where two notes would usually played. Gallop is not a triplet rhythm, the notes of different duration: an 8th followed by two 16ths or vice versa.
Paul played bass because nobody else wanted to, Dee Dee was really more of a rapper than a bassist (if you know, you know), Krist nearly killed himself with his own bass once, so I don't really see him as somebody to learn from as far as bass goes.
Yes, you added them on top, but had the solid foundation to layer them on. I do that a lot in our 3-piece band, first because there's lots of space; second, it helps fill in the excess space. And third, it's just one hell of a lot of fun that way!!!
You just described Lemmy Kilmister. Actually if you haven't played in a while --like a few years -- and suddenly an attractive gig opens up and you have time to knock the rust off, a pick is easier, even if you've only played finger style in your life.
I am a bass player and I use power chords in bass. They make the band sound much fuller and I have no idea why they are not used more often. I also play lead sometimes.
Using a pick for this galloping bass line is a serious faux pas for the super serious Iron Maiden bass. Great job!! You killed it on the lead section. I can’t stop making silly faces when I’m on my drum kit.
All of these except the last three are things I either currently do or probably will start doing in the near future. For the record, the only guitar I own is a bass, but I _am_ saving up for a four-string tremolo for it. Also for the record, the only two amps I currently have access to are my Mustang Micro practice amp and my sister’s amp which she got for her Stratocaster.
I got my buddy who always played guitar to play bass in a band I joined and he’s now one of the dopest bass players I’ve ever seen just because he plays so outside of the box and does a lot of chords and stuff
People need to remember Metal started with a guitar player on the bass. Geezer was a guitar player, who moved to the bass. And its because of his unconventional style on the bass that Black Sabbath was so different back in the day. Art is about breaking the rules when it fits.
as a guitarist who picked up bass for a jazz band 2 months ago, I’m proud to say I only do ONE of these things, simply just because I didn’t feel like buying a bass amp when my guitar amp worked well enough
I’m a guitarist that plays bass now and I know my parts. I usually don’t move that much. I mostly play with my two figures (pick if the song calls for it). I use a Bass Amp & Bass Pedals. I play musical parts to highlight the guitarist, which includes cords during their solo if needed. I only play solos if the song calls for it, but I don’t like being highlighted like that. 🫣😅😂
One of my favorite tells (that you dont have because you are a very skilled player) is the use of just 3 fingers on left hand, keeping the pinkie tucked away
Reminds me of Sammy Hagar's solo album recorded when he was in Van Halen (sometimes called "Sammy Hagar", and sometimes "Sorry I forgot to say goodbye"). It was produced by Eddie, and Eddie also played bass guitar on it, .... and it sounds like "lead bass"! 😅😃😆😀🤣😃😆

lemmy and cliff 😂😂
DeeDee Ramone moved around like crazy and used a pick, too.
To be fair Lemmy was originally a guitarist
And Peter Steele
@@mrgoatguy7828 Yeah but he's Lemmy so it's acceptable
@@TheOnlyHollywood1 True!😂
Power chords on distorted bass is the best shit ever.
Nah power chords on the D and G through a chorus effect is the best.
The palm mute/guitar amp one sounded like barracuda
Damn it actually does. I agree. Just add the Flager setting or whatever its called to it and it'll sound exactly like barracuda.
Barracuda does have a very Iron Maiden like bass line now that I think about it
@@TIDoesAnything228its both a gallop, a triplet. Its just a rhythm pattern. Nobody owns it or anything. Raining blood does this too
@@larsheuker It is not a triplet!
A triplet is three notes of the same length played in a duration where two notes would usually played.
Gallop is not a triplet rhythm, the notes of different duration: an 8th followed by two 16ths or vice versa.

Why does that sound so good.
That's what I'm saying!
Because it does? 😃 It's METAL and it's AWESOME! 🤘🔥
Because it's a guitar player playing bass
Because music isn't for gatekeeping
@N38Productions best reason out of the other 2
I'm gonna say it. Pick is the best bass technique in the majority of metal. prove me wrong

Paul McCartney uses his thumb.

As a bassist, I do bass faces and usually stand completely still.

Bass going lead in the trooper goes hard
I’ve been playing bass since high school and I still do a lot of those while playing
You sound like a creative bassist.
I'll never understand why incorporating more techniques to bass playing is so looked down on.
Yes, you added them on top, but had the solid foundation to layer them on. I do that a lot in our 3-piece band, first because there's lots of space; second, it helps fill in the excess space. And third, it's just one hell of a lot of fun that way!!!
@@NoThatRyansame thing happens on guitar as well. Some people look down on adding percussion to fingerstyle pieces.
"Actually moves"
Mike Starr: Am I a joke to you?
The song for those looking for it is The Trooper by Iron Maiden off their album Piece of Mind
That bass is enough of a sign already
"Actually moves" cracked me! Hahahaha
You just described Lemmy Kilmister.
Actually if you haven't played in a while --like a few years -- and suddenly an attractive gig opens up and you have time to knock the rust off, a pick is easier, even if you've only played finger style in your life.

11 sign that this is not a bass player is that he using distortion

I'm not using distortion but I want to try it

11 th sign ( actually plays bass better than a bass player )
nah, sounds even worse
least obvious guitarrist that plays bass:
I think p much everything was cool except the palm mute because that's the shit that keeps the low end of the song going and it makes the music fuller

I’ve played with a lot of guitarists turned bassists and for rock, they’re awesome.

Motörhead be like:
You can never go wrong with the bass following the lead
Bass guitar is the correct term for the instrument because it is a guitar by construction that is designed to play basslines
As both a guitarist and bassist myself, even the bass has its own licks and uses a pick for playing, such as in hard rock and all genres of metal.

Inside every bassist, there's a classical guitarist who just didn't wanna deal with electric string spacing
That's me! Haha! I played bass for a band for 3 years on the side! Loved it too!
