That bass is trying to tell us a story.
What do you mean "trying?" Personally, I thought chapter 3 was awesome!
HabeasMortis
The moment I like very much is when sailors are doing their best to save themselves in a storm, you know, that one which ends when sun suddenly shows its face.
@@HabeasMortis The bass are now belonv to us I think it's trying to comunicate
Yes, he is telling us the story that his mwah sounds are pretty hard to listen to. So a short story about a pretty annoying sound setup.
i bet forest has trouble finding basses. "yeah, do you have a 6 string left handed fretless bass?"
hahaha holy shit.
lol guitar shops are like does that even exist?
a 6 string left handed fretless bass with fretmarkers
You have to either custom order or pull the frets .its bad enough right handed&fretless GC haS like 5 crap choices fender mim jazz turd burst or tuxedo. squier both turd burst&ibanez
A product always in stock at the Leftorium.
Beyond Creation, literally....
A fretless, 6 string left handed bass with somebody who knows how to play it? Thats a rare find.
+Goabnb94 Shiny Pokemon even
+Goabnb94 no it isnt. go to namm. you will realize talent is everywhere.
+Metal is Life hahahaha he is a bassist after all
+Metal is Life ye... I had a black Charizard. Was so proud.
+Metal is Life Ye.. I didn't even know it was a shiny until it became Charizard because Charmander and Charmeleon don't like very different from their original counterparts.
Fretted bass = awesome
Fretless bass = fuckin awesome wild badass sound
Six string left handed fretless bass = GODLIKE.
That's got to be a one-of-a-kind mix.
What's hilarious is that this about 3 times more views than the song's full band music video.
That would be due to all of the 6 string players like me trying in vain to learn this
You hear the bass more in this plus you get to watch the bass solo
Probably doesn't help that the music video was reuploaded on a different channel
I think I am most impressed on how the solo here sounds exactly the same as on the album.... and I mean literally exactly! It's note for note, accent for accent, etc. Incredible player! I'm sad he left Beyond Creation, I was looking forward to more!
More impressive thing is this whole band is just like that. When you see the playthroughs of Simon and Kevin and they do it with basically same ease. Insane.
I know I'm 6 years late and idk if you know this but he's is in augury and it seems like they're going strong, illusive golden age title track and the living vault are Songs I like where he gets cool parts
He know plays with First Fragment and of course B.A.R.f, & Augury....
He must be using Yousician
why not songsterr?
and this videos sponsor is...

@@krzysztofburek9038 its a joke

I love when the bassline is actually unique from what the guitar is playing. That's one reason I'm obsessed with Rush. Love this entire album too.
I don't understand how this video has dislikes. This is tits
People frustrated or directly assholes
bait for comments like this
67 people don't understand music LMFAO
crynightbcn or the poor sound?
There are people with other opinions.
This is an absolute masterpiece after almost 10 years. I listened to this album and this track too many times and yet still so awesome
This is utter madness and absolutely amazing!!!!
I've listened to this at least half a dozen times in the past couple days. It won't get out of my head. The bass in this song is so satisfying
After 13 years, this still slaps. Dominic is one of my favorite bassists to watch 🔥
The Devil probably sold his own soul to this guy just to learn the bass.
Beyond Creation is awesome...
the greatest thing about this bass line isn't the speed or technique but the harmony itself, which is amazing
It's called passion, dedication and hard work.
0:42 the sweep pattern he does, I like how he rakes his thumb up and then his finger down. Looks really cool, I tried it on this song before, was a bit more difficult than it looked.
if you never try it .. youll never know how much of a good bass player you are.. this guy plays bass like some1 plays guitar.. he goes very deep into the melody and analyze every aspect probably.. searching for notes that matches.. its how you do it.. by trying.. TRY IT!!! DO IT!!
Wow.. That just completely remade that song for me.. I always thought the music video could have used a shot or two more of what the bass was doing.. This granted that wish, Dominic You are a bass god.
that tone and playing. instantly recognizable in the bands in which I've heard him. he helps carry melodies so perfectly, also keeping it technical while remaining remarkably tasteful.
beast....i love death metal + fretless bass
Michele Cipriani I own a 6-string fretless. It's a 1993 Ibanez SDGR(don't know which model, I got it used) that was probably converted to fretless. Unfortunately, it's not as great as you may think it is. You can't find flats for a 6-string.
You were saying there were no flats for six string bass ?
www.bassstringsonline.com/La-Bella-Deep-Talkin-Flat-Wound-Bass-Strings--6-String-Set-29-45-105-128T-Standard_p_221.html
Thomastik Infeld makes them too as probably other brands
This guy is insanely good at what he does. A lot of bassists just mimic a slightly different version of the guitars, but this guy creates amazing melodies over the top. I have tonnes of respect for you Dominic!!!
I'm not into progressive metal so much, but I have to say this is my favorite bass track from a song ever. I find it funny though that the studio version of this song has a clearer bass sound than this "bass video" version.
are you serious? Dude mastering, recording process, the Mix down
ofc the Studio version is cleaner and clearer they had a fully equipped studio,
Amariei Calin I am hard-pressed to call BC progressive metal.
I would settle for tech-death, as do many others.
I have never seen a perfect bass before. A 6 stringed fretless bass is probably the best gift anyone can have
This guy is just awe inspiring. Just a sublime mastery of Tech Death Metal.
This guy is absolutely insane
He makes having zero distorion sound so brutal. Also, i have no idea how he can play effectively with his plucking hand positioned the way it is
Less is more too, too much distortion often adds too much mids and it gets lost in the mix with already lower end guitars
I love how he fills that middle zone that so many bassists forget about. And his sound is beautiful
11 years ago and it is still DAMN BRUTAL 🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Dominic is an animal, i'm a bass player and I am blown away, never seen anyone play so tasteful, amazing.
one can master this song in maybe 8 years,
but it will take another 8 years to write a bassline with the same level of musicianship
Considering he's been playing for 20 years, that's just logic. Once you get past the 10K hours requiered to master an instrument, the whole world opens up.
100% agree
Hy, good technique, but to me It All seems Like a showcase rather than a technique applied to a Song.... Ok , you Can play Like that.. i am impressed but.. i do not get caugth emotionally....
Shorter and more focused songs Like THE PHILOSOPHER by DEATH nove me Much more than this..... At the end It Is difficult to remember this performance... Too much Beef on the grill....
sometimes less Is more....
Having said that, much respect for your technique.
Let the Metal flow.
@@matteopessina8570 what are u even... Do you even... ,,🤦
@@soullessSiIence wellll... he was shredding like this all the way back in 2004 with Augury's first album, so..
This guy is such a beast
you wanna learn bass
see this video
me : naah forget it
That's literally a play-by-play of what just happened to me
That Pinky though ......
David Chriz I think watching left handed bass players fucks me up too
Practice makes perfect. Anyone can be that good if you set your mind to it and take the dedication to practice every day and push the boundaries
4:24
10 years on and still one of the best metal bass players
I'm crying.
let it out breh... musician ship this good deserves a tear to shed for.
Best melodic bass ever! thank you!
Wish I could afford a nice fretless bass. I love how they sound, and really enjoy playing them. I'm no where NEAR as good as this guy though, haha. This video is seriously awesome.
Rouge
Kiesel makes badass custom basses, so does Dingwall. Both are pretty affordable
dude is a machine!
Beautifully creative
THANKS for the link to the official merch store. I've searched for the physical CD for so long!!! Yeeeeeess!!
So very clean bass solo! Amazing men!
So grateful that you made a video isolating the bass so I can really see what he's doing! Thanks Dominic!
*Only just realised he's left handed*
Me too! o.o
:o
6 string, fretless, left-handed bass, i just can't immagine the price of this
Raphael de clercq Make friendship with some good luthier(s) :D
BW Drums I'm left handed too
his pinky mastery is insane
"bassists are failed guitarist"
Yeah, try telling this guy that...
I never really understood that statement. If you can do guitar level shit on a bass (in this case a six string) you are better than the guitar player. Especially if you can make it work in the guidelines a bassist “should” do (time keeping, working with the harmony and rhythm all in a way that makes the whole band sound good ect)
The entire setup on bass is physically larger larger strings, necks wider gaps and all that. Make the bass a fretless then it is even harder.
In that case better! Lol
@@talesfromthetoiletseat8295 completely agree, I've never understood it either even though I hear it a lot. Because of the increased scale it's a completely different animal that comes with its own challenges to overcome and because of the audible spectrum it actually plays a massive part in the overall EQ of music, have you listened to songs that have had the bass frequencies removed or have been recorded without bass altogether? They sound terrible! Really Bright and harsh...
My thought is that It's probably just something insecure guitarists like to say to feel better about themselves
Nochthitus that would’ve my guess about insecurity lol
The lack of bass makes stuff sounds so weak and thin. To me if the bass in this type of music was roots fifths in eights only it would sound weird and sound like the bassist to not able to keep up even if he was in time. To me at least. though sometimes that might be needed
i just see the guitarist and bassist as two different band members who want to create good music and get better at their respective instruments, just like the drummer
but holy fuck, picking with fingers on bass seems like something only a masochist would do lmfao
You seriously still believe that myth haha
This guy is just a monster on bass! Congratulations and hugs from Brazil!
too bad he's out of beyond creation now,really liked his playing style
wait what o.o
Fureviews yeah...dominic got out of beyond creation a week ago or something...you can check that on their page,simon wrote a text about it there,but they already found a new bass player.Forest surely was a god damn good bassist :\
Damn D: i guess i'll have to keep an eye on him then, see what new projects/bands he's gonna do!
Good luck to the new bass player filling his shoes o.o i hope he's up to the task!
Fureviews he plays in some other bands like teramobil,augury,B.A.R.F. and atheretic.The man does a good job there,you should check them out,you might like man,you should also check quo vadis,dude's do a good job there aswell :)
whyyyyyy D':
The sound he gets out of that note he ends his solo on is just... I don't even have a word for it, and I pride myself in being the articulate type.
This is unreal! Subscribed!
This is the only song I know with a shredding bass solo that sounds clean. I'm so glad I found this song!
Parabéns, brother! Isso sim é técnica...
This band should be called Beyond PERFECTION!!!
I wanna hear the music the 64 dislikes are writing
Was fucking honored to play before these guys. Forest killed it! Played just as tight as here while rocking out like a mad man! One of the most down to earth dudes i've met
GREAT!!!Bass playing,not from this World...Greetz
I'm not a huge fan of Beyond Creation but you gotta love and appreciate this guy's approach with the bass
😂 Every note in the universe is on that neck
This is one of the coolest things ive ever seen.
4:42 i'm found of this riff :o
Love the sound.
This is still the greatest album ever released.....
Agreed.
until the end of the month when their second one drops lol
Pure talent!
this guy can write a fucking bassline! or whomever it is who writes them
I think I've watched this like a thousand times in the last two months, I gotta order this CD.
This is the reason why I'm buying a Fretless bass
I'm getting my fretless back soon. I have the same one that the current bassist for Obscura has.
Same here. Finding a left handed fretless (I'm a lefty) was a challenge. I still need to sell one of my basses to get the money.
^ Dude they were selling some lefty fretless basses on Amazon for the longest time for $150 till some asshole bought them and is reselling them at $360
love you guy!
just playing it like he's the lead guitarist
InsanePalmNinja THe Bass parts to their song just fucking stand out and it's awesome and weird.
Not weird because it stabds out its the weird ass sound it makes some times that makes me feel weird. L
If he was just playing like a lead guitarist then this wouldn't hold everything together, which is the primary job of a bass player. He plays like a lead bassist.
this sound is pretty badass
being left handed this makes me want a fretless 6 string so bad so I can experiment and maybe become 1/10 of what he is
why 1/10? and not twice as good? dont try to be a fraction of him, practice to best him.
Which won't happen for a fucking whiiiiiiiiiile
AEinaar are you even seeing what's happening in the video lmao
punkfan97 i know this is an old comment but if you want a left-handed 6 string fretless bass i got one from rondo music for 200 dollars and its actually pretty good quality
@@mitsukaritas I wouldn't tell anyone to set their expectations very high in comparison to this dude
that's one of the best bass solos i've listened in death metal, fucking awesome
03:13 sounds beautiful
Big influence for me, Thank you so much Dominic !
Best. Bassist. Ever....?
Forest💯 and Mike from origin
Tough fight between him and Steve digorgio. Maybe best for his generation of bass
Any time I forget why I'm learning bass I watch this. This piece made me move over from guitar to bass... Way too good.
A left handed six string bass, and that too fretless. Can it get anymore uncommon than that?
How 'bout a Chapman Stick?
Chapman sticks are pretty common.
Not in Metal...
22fret Liquid Tension Experiment and Primus are the two I can name from the top of my head
Right, but I wouldn't exactly call those bands Metal. The Stick is an extremely interesting instrument, but until now I have not dared starting to learn it...
Beyond Creation is amazing and I will say stands out alot with the bass parts
How much can you bench with those fingers, dude?
Dude... nice recording. You made open air mic in a tiled room sound fantastic. You're quite talented, we love to see it. Keep it going frère
Jaco Pastorius have to see this :D
love this song, quite amazing bass
this is photo shopped I think cause a bass guitar only has 4 strings
How do you photoshop a video? also, electric guitars can have more than 6 strings so why not basses? google images showed some frettless basses with 5 and 6 strings as well.
but electric guitars supposed to have 8 strings I think some acoustic ones have 12 I know that because my nephew has one people photoshop ufo videos all the time iv read it in the comments
MegaGary1960 You're either trolling or uneducated, the type of guitar isn't determined by the number of strings.
I can tell you im not trolling and im not uneducated but I do admit to having no knowledge of guitars but your wrong you would not get a 4 string electric guitar
if i siad that i agree, but i think that you misread me for i tried to say:
bass guitars can have 4 or 5 strings and this isnt that wierd as guitars can have more than 6. i actually saw a bass with (no joke) 9ish strings. if you want to see it, ill try and find the utibe video. me asking about photoshop was a joke because photoshop is for images, and this isnt an image lol
I loved every minute. Post more videos.
not human
No he's Human. The matter of skill there is godlike those.
i do not believe in any "god"...so i thought he MUST be a sort of alien! :)
Exx Tom
No god and blevie in Aliens.... Right. AnywaysI Belive in a God so He's Was Given to him by Allah. I do use God and Allah most of the time Plus Allah sounds more Metal anyways.
Exx Tom
I look at like this Arab Christians all god Allah so yea it works out.
Well aliens exists...
That has got to some of the tastiest bass I've heard in a long time.
how the hell does this video have unlikes!?! haha
+headindacloudz567 They are called "dislikes".
Sorry :( i wanted to like this video multiple times.
Xtreme talent🎇
Pssh... I never wanted to play bass anyway.
It has a voice of it own. I love so much the fretless bass sound.
No doubt he is a master and can play anything, but doesn't he have a rather unconventional picking hand style?
Yeah, it does look kinda odd, doesn't it? A bit like lute-players. But it works, so it can't be too bad ;)
Like Marty Friedman. His picking looks absolutely nuts, but somehow he manages to kick arse.
I think it only looks strange because he's using his thumb to constantly silence the other strings so it doesn't get all mucky... plus he uses 3 fingers to hit the strings (sometimes that pinky even gets in there)
honestly, the more I watch it, the more "by the books" his thumb placement looks to me. Something I was always taught to do but I'm not as gentle with my instrument as this guy lol... I like to beat on the strings
I have this same kind of style. The way I explain it is that I'm using my thumb to silence strings so that I don't accidentally play an open note I don't want to. It's probably a little unconventional and a lot harder on myself than I need it to be, but especially for stuff like this where precision is key, it makes my assurance a little higher. It's probably not the greatest habit I've created for myself, but honestly I think this style is a little more about comfort and assurance than anything. I personally love playing like this and to see a true professional play like it is EXTREMELY reassuring. cheers!
MattPictures13 Hey, thank you for your input. Forest is the best of the best, unconventional technique or not!
Watched this again, as I have recently picked up the Bass after playing guitar most of my life. He just grinning the whole time, tearin it the fuk up! Groovy man groovy! \m/
God dammit.
Right?
rth095 you just summed up my entire life after watching this
Saw them in 2019 and met the drummer (cool dude!). Killer show with Inferi, Obscura, and others. Amazing night of extreme metal!
This is KAWAAAAiiii
Thats one way of putting it guess lol \m/
No. It's Metal. Not fickin' kawaai you Japanese wannabe piece of shit
Internet bully spotted :)
Problem isn't music. As a bassist, I know this is amazing. But, you're a weaboo and that's kind of sad. This subculture is sooooo annoying
Weabooo? What? I just used a random word. You are fighting over a nonexistanse matter. And THAT'S sad :)
amazing!!!!
great & bass guitar play
love him
what is a good fretless bass that wont kill my wallet?
Try brice basses. I think there like $350 or something.
At thomann.de you got Harley benton basses which are their housebrand basses that are fairly well constructed.
I have a Rogue. But it's a 4 string. We used to stock and handle them all the time when I worked at Musician's Friend in KC. I knew that it was a quality instrument before I ended up getting mine used. And I got it for $70! Score! New, last I checked, they run from somewhere around $150 to $350.
kai awsm douglas wob 826 is a 6 string fretless for just under 200 and are supposed to be pretty good quality
kai awsm I've seen all these comments and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get a fretted 7 string bass that won't kill my wallet
This guy is awesome. Makes Bass actually fun because he's not playing the same riffs over and over. Keep rocking!
That room makes the bass sound kind of weird
it echos
I'm sure thats how its supposed to sound.
i think if you put foam around the room it sounds better
He's playing through a very small ampplifier which doesnt help bring out the true tone of that sweet fretless.
yeah that bass sounds silly as fuck lol its like a tuba
That was one of the most awesome bass solos I've ever heard! REALLY made the most of that fretless!!
