For the person in chat who thinks they’re too old to learn bass, you’re not. Everyone should learn something in music, it changes the way your mind works. I attempted to learn bass about 13 yrs ago, it lasted a couple months and faded off. But after finding this music community a year ago on TH-cam I was motivated (hell I just realized I turned 42 today LOL) to learn it and music as a whole. It’s difficult being tone deaf and having no rhythm but no less fun! And start cheap, I still have my first Ibanez $200 bass sounds great to start. I’ve since upgraded to a Warwick and I’m eyeing up a Music Man after I see what Tank comes up with. 😉. Bottom line, yes pick it up, great fun even by keeping it simple!🤘
One of the things I enjoy about the bass videos is how open you are about saying “I want you guys to see the mistakes and the progress and such” it’s nice to see how open you are about the learning process. Love this band and love the bass videos! I’m gonna go pick my bass back up now haha
On Christmas I decided to finally pick the guitar back up after failing to get into it 10 years ago. Past couple years I was holding off thinking I'd rather dive into bass instead, but I have really small hands and can barely operate on the bass fretboard. Maybe when I'm more used to guitar I can try picking it up again, but I'm having so much fun playing rhythm riffs right now I'm not sure I even want to pick up a bass right now!
Hey man, been a hot minute since I last watched or commented. Glad to see you're still awesome! Just wanted to pop in because I rediscovered a band that I love today, and I don't know if you've reacted to them before. They're called Crossfaith, and they're based out of Osaka. I'd recommend giving the song Wildfire a listen, because it absolutely slaps. Anyway, take her easy man!
Hey Tank! Learning bassist here. Absolutely love insomnium, and I'm actually working on learning Lillian currently. I was wondering, what bass do you use?
would be fun to see you react to the My Mother Told Me (Norse Folk Metal) Cover by Colm McGuinness Music feat. @JohnTheodoreMusic, if there was one singer on youtube i didn't expect that level of metal from it was him
i would love to see your reaction to HIM "its all tears" live from digital versatile doom. speaking of Finland, they're one of the most commercially successful Finnish bands, its all tears has one of the coolest bass runs ive heard in a long while
Nice job! Next time Insomnium comes to your town you can give their bass player a break when they play this song 😁 Also have to say, bridge in this song is just fuckin amazing. So soothing, atmospheric and beautiful. Insomnium is not something I listen too often but this song is an exception.
Roadie? Cool. You should react to iron maiden flight 666 documentary part. It's about touring and the plane that they used to transport band members and roadies in the same plane all around the world and Bruce Dickinson is also the pilot. It was a double DVD one for the concert and the other one was the documentary.
A lyric from ERB is "if you were in a band, youd play bass". Or some shit like that. How is that a diss? It sounds so good here. I hope you dont do only bass because id love to see a UTA attempt. Andy did a playthrough of Soulbound with tabs when it first came out on their channel, but id love to see General of the Dark Army or Cleanse the Bloodlines or something lol
That was epic! BTW, have you heard of a band called "Sylvatica" ? That is some really good melo death, and they seem to be very unknown despite making music since 2009! Maybe give them a listen?
It makes a huge difference from both, the playing technique and the feeling. Bass and guitar have very different jobs in the song so you need to do different things with the instruments in order to make the song work. Apart from that, the difference in size (strings and frets) is a huge point when it comes to handling the instrument.
Yeah, what Fabian said. There's a huge difference in not only tone and sound, but also what each instrument's role within a band is. Also, just for technique and feel alone, a bass and guitar have vastly different scale lengths, neck widths, and neck radiuses as well. You're more likely to be good at bass if you're already a guitarist, but it's a little harder the other way around.
How the effin eff could you miss Insomnium? :o I'm starting to wonder if you've never heard of Toumas Saukonnen and his various bands - or with the style of Insomnium, Australian band Be'lakor! Edit: Yeah, I need to check out the video history first :D
@@TankTheTech I agree. Hell, even in Europe we don't get to hear all Europe got to give - not even to mention what comes out of eastern Europe. I mean, I think I'm about the only one in Denmark who's ever heard of Silence Lies Fear (a melodeath band from Azerbajan)
That was awesome i need To learn how To play bass asap 😢 But another thing is a request if you can check it out the new song from ov sulfur the song - Earthen omg dude that song is bad ass buuuut the video will bring a tear in your eyes it did hit me 😢😢😢 check it out 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Great stuff Tank. I've recently picked up bass and learnt some Insomnium stuff, took this video as an opportunity to learn along with you :)
Tank is fucking KING!
That bear clip was hilarious! I love finnish! 🤣

This is so... awesome. Thank you Tank for doing these!
Love this song!
Well, if Tank changes his mind on fast and technical songs, he can take on Luca Turilli's Rhapsody!
Great job, Tank. Really enjoying these vids.
Nice job Tank. It reminded me how much I love this band 👍
This song got me into Insomnium! Awesome Job Tank. PS. I'm seeing Sabaton on Friday!
Love that! Nice work!
Great work! 👏
Love these one hour challenge vids !
Loving the cutaways man... KEEP IT UP!!!!! 🤟🔥🔥🔥🤟
Another Tank playthrough video? Nice. He's doing insomnium? YES! He's doing While We Sleep? YEEEEEHHHAAAWWWWWW!!!!!!
Straight up banger dude! Less is indeed more. The goosebumps on my arms seem to agree
Great job!

If it makes you feel better, I don't have the biggest hands either and I've always stuck to bass. Haha
@@TankTheTech I guess when I'm faster and stretch out my fingers more I can try picking it up!
You did great Tank!

I think it's crazy how fast you memorize it. It's an easy song, but my memory is not good and I need to look up all the time how it goes
Hey Tank! Learning bassist here. Absolutely love insomnium, and I'm actually working on learning Lillian currently. I was wondering, what bass do you use?
The one from this video is a 2006 Fender American P-Bass.
@@TankTheTech ah, dope. That thing sounds good.
good work on your timing! man, now i want to play some insomnium too.
well played!! love this song :)
This was great! Insomnium was my entrance to MDM. One of my favourite compositions is The Call of Ktulu by 'Tallica. Maybe next time?
You should learn Silvera by Gojira if you don't know it already. I've been learning it recently, and it's fun
would be fun to see you react to the My Mother Told Me (Norse Folk Metal) Cover by Colm McGuinness Music
feat. @JohnTheodoreMusic, if there was one singer on youtube i didn't expect that level of metal from it was him

I'd like to see him react to unleash the archer's Tonight We Ride.

Loving this series. Surprisingly fun to watch, and you got me motivated to finally dust off the guitar after about a decade.
Let's gooooooooo!
If you want to do a fun one you should really look and do The Warning - Z from Mexico!!!
Roadie? Cool. You should react to iron maiden flight 666 documentary part. It's about touring and the plane that they used to transport band members and roadies in the same plane all around the world and Bruce Dickinson is also the pilot.

I've seen it. It's super rad.
Oh hell yeah. Do Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars next! Just to challenge your self. I play four string. Have played for 23 years. Kind of..
I love this music, it's so deep
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
A lyric from ERB is "if you were in a band, youd play bass". Or some shit like that.
How is that a diss? It sounds so good here.
I hope you dont do only bass because id love to see a UTA attempt. Andy did a playthrough of Soulbound with tabs when it first came out on their channel, but id love to see General of the Dark Army or Cleanse the Bloodlines or something lol
Goodness your tone is on point my dude
🤘🤘🤘
If you were going to do bass for an Insomnium song, The Wanderer would have been fun.
Be´lakor - Abeyance , i think you will have some love for that one. Or just go play some fun songs by Rancid (they are very fun for bassists)
That was epic!
BTW, have you heard of a band called "Sylvatica" ? That is some really good melo death, and they seem to be very unknown despite making music since 2009! Maybe give them a listen?
TORILLE PERKELE!
I think his tone is more driven SVT sounding than straight up distortion on his bass, on the record.
Also, Tank; if you don't already have one, you need a 5 string.
It's coming from an effect in my Helix. And I own 3 5-strings. Haha
@@TankTheTech how about a cover of 'Raise Your Horns' by Amon Amarth? Not exactly complicated either, but the main riff is so good...
Nice playing man!
Since you like Insomnium you should do a reaction to BELZEBUBS - Cathedrals Of Mourning. I think you might like it 😆
How about your first Band-Maid song, "Dice"? It's got a nice bassline, but it sounds like it might be one of Misa's less complicated ones.
Does it really make that much difference whether you play guitar or bass? Don't they differ just in sound and amount/thickness of strings?
It makes a huge difference from both, the playing technique and the feeling. Bass and guitar have very different jobs in the song so you need to do different things with the instruments in order to make the song work. Apart from that, the difference in size (strings and frets) is a huge point when it comes to handling the instrument.

@@fabianpleiner1662 i guess i won't understand until i try myself. Thnx tho for explanation
Hey man, How are you recording/hearing playback ext through the pc? is there a chance you can make a setup video?
React to Bury Tomorrow - Abandon Us plzzzzz
I play off and on and I’m learning some j-pop it’s fun
How the effin eff could you miss Insomnium? :o I'm starting to wonder if you've never heard of Toumas Saukonnen and his various bands - or with the style of Insomnium, Australian band Be'lakor!
Edit: Yeah, I need to check out the video history first :D
And just enjoying the reaction to the Hidden Video now - man its great to see the pure joy of listening to these guys!
Because a lot of awesome bands from Europe don't get as much attention and exposure over in the states.
@@TankTheTech I agree. Hell, even in Europe we don't get to hear all Europe got to give - not even to mention what comes out of eastern Europe. I mean, I think I'm about the only one in Denmark who's ever heard of Silence Lies Fear (a melodeath band from Azerbajan)
i thought he was covering something ‘while she sleeps’ but i just read wrong.
A pic 🙃
That was awesome i need
To learn how To play bass asap 😢
But another thing is a request if you can check it out the new song from ov sulfur the song - Earthen omg dude that song is bad ass buuuut the video will bring a tear in your eyes it did hit me 😢😢😢 check it out 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Too easy. Try some Beyond Creation or Necrophagist 😉
Yeah, it’s gonna be a while…
Will you react to in Flames latest single meet your maker? It's lit ❤️🔥
Yup, coming out on Friday!
@@TankTheTech looking forward to it!
Great bass tone, came in late :) r u using Parallax ?
Line 6 Helix
