NeO's bassist playing the song Forget Not from the album Portal Of I. a little sloppy as some of the breaks are free time and much easy in a live setting.
@@rembo96 Sometimes having really low tunings creates a dope effect. For example in Leprous, the tuning is low, Einar's singing is really high, it creates a really nice contrast.
Spamming your vids comment section again man. Your voice is one of a kind. Fluent, fluid, recognizable, true. Love your work to the bone. You are a fucking legend.
This song is perfect, so insanely beatiful, bass line is perfect, bring back those times =( And of course, thank you and other guys for this masterpiece.
I fell in love with this album after the first 15 seconds of "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope". After seeing your videos I notice how incredibly important the bass is to the album, adds so much to it. I love when a band utilizes every instrument with such skill, a lot of bands in metal have the bassist in the background mimicking exactly what the guitars do but that's definitely not the case with your band. So happy I discovered you guys!
I'm a guitarist but watching your playthroughs makes me want to pick up a bass. Definitely buying the tab book for Portal of I. Will Citadel get a tab book soon?
Wow, a surprising amount of criticism in these posts, regardless of the mildly positive endings. A most gorgeous offering as an album, worthy of praise. This is a fine video showcasing a separated element of the whole, and giving a further visual insight to what developed the sound. This post should be met with only thanks. Well done, my friends, well done.
So verry beautiful song... Cygnus, I very like you play, you're my favorite bassist plays on finger. This year, with my teacher bass, I would like play this song. Because, Ne Obliviscaris change my life... I want to see you on live ! Thanks you man, I hope you play on France or Switzerland one day... Ne Ob for ever
all tabs are complete we are just working out the best method to distribute them. probably download guitar pro files. a book would be massive. forget not has over 600 bars haha
Wait... Wait so I tabbed this by ear.. FOR NOTHING?! Jk it really was fun learning all the parts (as I hear and see it, that is)! Thanks for being such an interesting bassist! 🤘🏽 I am curious about the tabs you have though. 👀
I've been listening to your playthroughs year after year, and somehow your playing keeps me from quitting playing bass. It always hits me to the core. Thank you.
I admire your style, you are an inspiration. Thx for sharing, appart from being an excellent song, the bass in it is one of the greatest thing I've ever heard for this instrument. Regards from France, thanks again for making these awesome vids !
Holy crap! Amazing bass lines man! Great song and great record. I let it play all night long when I go to sleep some times. Just freakin amazing. Really like your bridge. That is some great tone you have there. Jealous I am. Cant wait for the next record, and hope to see you guys someday in New York!
"Portal of I" 2xLP sold out within 52 minutes! There are 3 copies left of "The Aurora Veil" LP in each store (USA/EU). That record will never ever been repressed. Search for "Blood Music" if you wanna find em!
Hey Im a huge fan from NZ. Your music is so fucking beautiful man. When the tabs are out I'd happily cover the song with a band infront of our school to share this piece man. You guys are so fucking awesome, keep the good job up \m/
I've actually longed to see how you were playing 10:25 and onward ever since I listened to this song. Damn it sounds so good. I have a question ; how long have you been playing bass ?
You know probably the only thing I didn't like about the new album is the end of Tapestry of the Starless Abstract. The bass at the end wasn't very clear though the song ended perfectly in the EP. I really hope to see more bass in the upcoming releases. Great video! \m/
punching the mids and tuning to a different pitch in the same tuning as the guitars can make the bass pop out in a certain way like this, note choices as well.
This then leaves me a month to complete the tab in preparation for the official release. It will be awesome to compare what I have with what the band has.
I set out to tab it and that's what I'm going to do! It will be great to see how accurate my version is with the assistance of this video and the song itself. I have just under 500 bars atm, at 9:00 (there abouts) with the rest coming as I can find the time/motivation. Learning this song has made me a better bass player also, a seemless transition from 7 years of guitar into oh... 6 months of bass haha ;)
I've been transcribing this into GP5 and so far I'm half way done. Upon completion Cygnus, would you be willing to take a look and offer some assistance in areas where timing/time signatures and phrasing for some of the lines need work? Cheers man, I'll be seeing Ne O later thisevening at Fowlers =D
I preferred the EP version of this song, I feel like the guitar became too... Mechanical, went for a technical/progressive direction. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just preferred the first version, the little imperfections made it feel more honest, which I think is more fitting for such an emotion-filled song Still love the band even though I'm not much into metal anymore though, that's saying something I guess :P Anyway, great video man I wish we'd see more and more prominent bassists
all neo songs are in E standard
This is a sign of a good song. I am tired of all those DROP 10 TONES dirty sounds. All the best songs are in E or D :)

the shift at 1:17 hits me emotionally and idk why lmao. its so good
thanks for the kind words! just never stop practicing. i run up and down scales when i watch movies. that's an easy way to fit in 1-2 hours a night !
i'm supposed to be asleep but this album completely fries my brain and the bass is just incredible haha

The same for me.. I'm studying drums.. and Dan just blew my mind with the drums.

It's sad that you're no longer with NeO
I feel the same way, but he made his own bed and has to lie in it.
thanks so much! new material is coming along very strong!
This is superb basswork. So creative...
that is insane skill. fantastic
this is one of the 1st albums that the bass really caught my ear, your bass parts are incredible man! my fav bassist for sure!

I still thing that this is the best song ever
Your bass playing is godly. You are officially one of my favorite bassists. I hope to be this good someday. ;_;
thanks so much for your kind words and support brother

Ne Ob for ever
rip, i hope you got to see
Yes! I've been waiting for this all my life!
You are so talented it's unbelievable.
Even to this day your bass style is an inspiration to me. Wherever you are, however you are, keep on rocking dude.
the end of the song is fucking beautiful

Where can I find the tabs? It’s been 8 years so I’m assuming they’re out
@@M3G4FR34K respect
never cease to amaze, you guys have incredible talent. looking forward to the next album
This is fantastic. Love your work.
This bass makes me cry
so beautiful!

Having just come back to playing bass and been trying to learn some of your songs has made me improve more than I have in years. Great basslines.
That bass tone gives me serious wood.
Perfection!
Wow!! U are my God!! Can't wait to see u live!!
beautifull
wow dude this song is more than fucking amazing!!!! HAIL NE OBLIVISCARIS
WE ARE NOT WORTHY!

You nailed it dude
Ahhh shit how had I not seen this before? This is so good.
Nice playing! Awesome band too.
This is insane! Carry on our brother....
Enjoy the tour, kick arse.
Pretty good - close enough to Neo's bassist
...
it's so close he even looks like him right?!!??!
Yes! ( damnit you saw my joke :'( haha )
Well i wish i could play like you :p awesome ideas awesome playing
Awesome tone, clean and fatty, keep rockin' bro, greetings from Venezuela
Ok, i won't forget bass playthrough.
I do that too :) you are amazing, keep up the good work :)

YES
That is a wicked guitar.
When theses tabs will be available ? Can't wait for them!
when release out a new album of the Ne Obliviscaris? it's amazing the work of all members, i'm anxious for the nex album :D
Even better!
dude! do one more bass footage like that! please! PLEASE
I've actually longed to see how you were playing 10:25 and onward ever since I listened to this song. Damn it sounds so good.
I have a question ; how long have you been playing bass ?

Great video! \m/
i need a bassist like you.
I really dislike the part at 11:00.
Too good for humanity
fucking love this.
This is great, beautiful song with beautiful lines played beautifully. What tuning is this in?
Really love the bass part at 2:19ish.
What do you use for effects? This sounds great.
Great playing! Love your lines man! Are you playing through the mesa guitar cab?
1:18 Love that melody. Big fan of the part from 8:36 on, too.
They definitely exist.
I thought it was fretless lol. Sounds so good!
punching the mids and tuning to a different pitch in the same tuning as the guitars can make the bass pop out in a certain way like this, note choices as well.
J-Bass pickups have this signature effect.
This then leaves me a month to complete the tab in preparation for the official release. It will be awesome to compare what I have with what the band has.
beautiful bassline, if possible pls do a plague playthrough!!!
It'd be so amazing if you wrote a bass tab book for this album!
Awesome bass lines man! What bass is that? I can't recognise the brand. Really dig the tone of it. See you at the Espy next Saturday night!
Will you distribute tab for the acoustic guitar parts aswell?
subscribed
Yuu gave me goosebumps at 1:26 :D
I set out to tab it and that's what I'm going to do! It will be great to see how accurate my version is with the assistance of this video and the song itself. I have just under 500 bars atm, at 9:00 (there abouts) with the rest coming as I can find the time/motivation.

Hey Cygnus! :D How about tabs ? Can't wait for it!
good smidging
Just wondering, in addition to the tabs are you planning on releasing the notes for the violin parts in all the songs as well?
is it possible to play it on 4 string bass?
Forgive my ignorance but I'm quite new to playing bass, Is there a name for the technique that you're using at around 8:37?
It is called 'tapping', not very surprising, is it? :)
I've been transcribing this into GP5 and so far I'm half way done.
Upon completion Cygnus, would you be willing to take a look and offer some assistance in areas where timing/time signatures and phrasing for some of the lines need work?
Cheers man, I'll be seeing Ne O later thisevening at Fowlers =D
beautiful! are there any tabs for this song? it would be an honor to try to cover this masterpiece!^^
+callejonjascha1994 I'm kind of late, but they just released a tab book for this album at neobliviscaris.bigcartel.com/
are there any plans for guitar playthroughs like these? and out of curiosity, have you considered playing a six string?
TUNE?
What about those official tabs? Where can we find them?
is that the above the axefx a pre-amp?
Yep, I believe it is Eden WP100 Navigator preamp.
how did you got in such level ?
What kind of bass strings do you use?
BTW your playing is amazing, it blows me away and makes me want to become a better musician. Thank you for inspiring me.
Please please please Cygnus, do a Petrichor playthrough!! D:
that's pretty influential sir
is it possible to fit it on 4 string ? :)
you can play the solo with only four strings : D
great sound,
bass?
13 years now, but only seriously about 9 i would say. i am probably better at guitar these days haha
So does his strings go EADGB, or BEADG?
Pretty sure it's BEADG
J0ttem
yeah standard B tuning bro!
I preferred the EP version of this song, I feel like the guitar became too... Mechanical, went for a technical/progressive direction. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just preferred the first version, the little imperfections made it feel more honest, which I think is more fitting for such an emotion-filled song

Anyway, great video man I wish we'd see more and more prominent bassists
His bass sound and playing sounds like Quo Vadis :D
Hey which is that bass? trank you! you're awesome!
It's a Status. Status S3 if I'm not mistaken.
Or maybe it's S2.
Wo lo lo Thank you!!
But you are playing on a 5 strung bass? So wouødn't this be in B standard?
