Yeah, my guitarist recently had to keep a noise coming out of my bass while I got the levels right on the mixing desk (tech was away) and when I got back he just said "Can I keep it?" Lmao. There's just something about the bass that feels better to play
Best feeling in the world. A tool that is nearly almost exclusively for me and not over 70% of the population on this earth. That's fucking awesome haha
Every guitarist can play a bass, but not every guitar player can play a bass like a bassist. THAT is the big difference. My advice to any bands out there that are “searching” for bassists, don’t just settle and stick the guy who is the least talented on guitar in the band on bass. Find a bassist, Not just a bass player.
I agree. The purpose of my joke video is that a guitarist doesn't 'get it' when it comes to bass. I was a guitarist but my older brother played bass, and I saw how different of a discipline it is overall.
@@JacobGivens definitely! I love your content brother, I play guitar, bass, drums, sing and I’m trying to become competent on keyboard, but that thought occurred to me when I would record bass after having written a guitar part for a song, as well as being in bands with the crappy guitar player made to play bass in the band, trying to get him to understand that drums and bass are the band and the rest of the instruments are just colors over top of what we’re doing. Thanks for the reply!
Exactly. I consider myself a pianist, guitarist, vocalist. And while I can play drums and bass, both competently, I am far far away from considering myself a drummer or a bassist. My band all switches instruments in the writing process, but when it comes to recording, for instance, maybe I wrote a cool drum beat that we love, but the drummer learns the part super quick and can already play it ten times better… it’s a fun process and no egos. We know what we’re good at technically, but it can be nice to get ideas from others and refine them and perform them better.
I learned from years of home recording that sometimes it's better to let someone else write and play the bass part. Once you've written the guitar part, you're in a certain headspace with the song, and sometimes that bassline you hear in your head is lacking that certain something that would really make it pop. In cases like that, the input of another musician can sometimes be just what a song needs. I've had friends listen to my stuff and come back with keyboard parts, basslines, all manner of stuff that was way better than what I had laid down, and I think I'm a better musician today because of it.
I wish I could find a bassist. I need someone to help with the workload. I have a friend who is the only bassist I know, that isn't in a band. He's an alcoholic, so there's the reason. every other musician I meet is either a guitarist, or a drummer.
Besides the Bald Nu Metal Bassist who's an alcoholic or an chronic pothead or the hella stoned Nu Metal Bassist with colored dreads who's got a piercing on his face or just hella piercings, then you got the Death Metal Bassist with hella long hair who plays only 5 & 6 string basses and plays only finger style and with no pick and always stays young for some odd reason and never seems to age or wrinkle up
As a guitar player, I've always had the utmost respect for bass guitar players. It's just a different approach all together. I've long felt I just didn't have the funk to make it sing lol.
To play bass your mindset has to be different than the guitar player. You are mostly there to set a groove, to play in harmony, to lock with the drummer and to make the song sound like actual music. NEVER underestimate the power of great bassists !!!
For sure. As a guitarist I can say for sure that not everyone that plays the bass is a bass player. A real bass player can make your part sound different and much better while "hiding" in the background and can also shred themselves when appropriate. Not to mention how they groove with the percussion. I started on bass around 13 yo (though I'd played guitar a bit going back to like 8) because it's what I had access to at the time. Well, technically my first instrument was drums that i got at 7 but my older brother took those over and destroyed them. 😅... Anyway, I always played bass like a guitarist though I did learn the basic principles of "less is more" and specifically voicing and how that can have a huge effect on the music in whole.
Word. I’ve played in bands with true bassists and bands with “I bought a bass once” bassists. The difference is like heaven. Timing is obviously the key, but then there’s the dynamics, the tone, the technique, the songwriting. An adept bassist is as important as anything!
OMG WHY IS THIS SO RELATABLE??? One of my best friends is a bassist and I’m a guitarist and one time I was trying to teach her something that I made up or had learn (I don’t remember exactly how I found the little riff) but while I was teaching her, she staring at me and her bass with a dead face lol. I had to cut it short bc I’ve never seen her act like that before. Come to think of it the riff was lame lol.
Coming from someone who picked up a bass last week and has been playing guitar for 15 years, this is legit To be in the groove while creating the groove is a whole new feel
Don't feel bad. Drummers have to sacrifice every other cognitive function in order to completely rewire their brain to function as not just one but several perfect metronomes. It's a gift I wouldn't wish on my enemies.
Thats not even a thing ... Ive never in my 30 years as a professional musician had a drummer wanting to play my bass or any other instrument for that matter.
It kinda is tho... yes theres crazy shit thats unique to bass, but most songs in pop/rock are just "root note" basslines that require no brain or skill at all
@@dinonuggies2276 nah nah, it's about staying in perfect sync with the drummer, and adding fills. Think of a pop song being played live, the drummer is probably going to improvise stuff, and the bassist has to match that. Bass is about holding down a solid foundation to the music.
@@WLxMusic i hear that a lot but then again... everyone has to be on time... and if youre playing more complex music youre prolly not gonna improvise that much since youre playing to a click anyway
The best thing about a proper bassist is that they could show off, but they choose not to, because they care more about the song sounding coherent than getting noticed. They are a different breed, at least the real ones are.
Bro i started playing bass at the start of this year and this video called me out so hard. Especially Dawn Patrol lmao, this is literally all the stuff I’ve been learning
In my worship band I noticed my bass player and so many other bands. The bass player always seems quiet and very sure of his craft and almost aggravated if someone tries to step in his space. Lol. This was a great example of a guitarist versus a base player and the way they can act at times
I am today years old, learning that Deftones is basically just a bunch of bassists. (This is completely and entirely utterly, only a little bit sarcastic.)
You’ve been appearing to me on the internet for more than a decade now, dating back to your cover of “Vehicle” you did with Ryan Ross and Jon Walker. I always love what you do.
As a drummer that's now learning to play bass, I finally understand why we're best friends. We really are the fundamentals of the entire band. Having a bassist lock in on the groove is so satisfying, especially for me when they're playing right with the kick drum. I even like listening to the bass part and then adjusting some drum sections accordingly!
In the previous lineup my band had I played bass. Im not a bassist and have never owned one, just play guitar. I learned really quickly that a good bassist looks at a bass and their part in the music completely differently then I do. We got a real bassist now and I went back to guitar lol
Yep, it's like comparing a muscle car to a semi. Guitarists still want to do doughnuts in the semi when there's serious work to be done. Double metaphor because few people want to do the serious work.
Would - Alice in Chains, Black Dog - Led Zeppelin, Suck my Kiss - Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Schism - Tool, Dawn Patrol - Megadeth, For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica, Duck Tales (only one i failed)
Ok even if they all play the same things I will still commend any guitarist who at least respects the bass enough to play it at all and not call it an easy guitar lol
Bass players should feel lucky and honored that the guitar player even acknowledges the most iconic bass lines in modern times. Some bands - I’ve been in them before - treat the instrument as little more than something to be “figured out later” and they’ll end up with someone who really wants to help improve the dynamics of the sound but will only be told to “just do what the guitars do”.
Bass player stamp of legitimacy. Had a neighbor that played guitar, he would knock on my door every Saturday, asking if he could play my bass. Once I got him thinking like a bassist his guitar playing advanced bigly.
I'm a guitarist that was recruited to play bass in a 3 piece. My goal was to be the bass player I've always wanted. It worked out great, and I made creative lines that helped to propel the rest of the band rather than doubling the root guitar stuff. It was fun and challenging. 🤘
As a guitarist I’ll never downplay the importance of bass and how talented they are. I taught my friend how to play guitar and he changed over to bass because he liked it more. I love all people who take time to learn an instrument
In some metal genres playing with the pick is part of the sound, at least for the faster sections. Very little chance of your attacks cutting through the mix without it. Ofcourse the choice of tone also plays a part.
Honestly when I first played guitar I always thought of bass as just a simple backing instrument. Then I jammed with some more experienced guys and the bassist blew me away! Every great band has a great bassist for a reason
I started as a guitarist as a teenager (in the 70s), then switched to bass because I loved the bass lines of McCartney, Entwistle, Jones, Redding, Squire, etc. I was a singer songwriter also, and I found it absurdly difficult at first to sing and play a melodic bass line, instead of just strumming chords.
As a songwriter and guitarist with a degree in music that has toured, recorded and played everything from medium sized festivals with +1000 people to clubs infront of 5 bored girlfriends drinking free beer. I have one tip for my fellow songwriters. For every 1 average/good/great rythm section there is probably 500k to 1mil guitarists that can do exactly what your current guitarist does, there is a severe inflation of guirtarists in the world after all. So as a songwriter, if you find a good bass player and/or drummer hold on to them for dear life. If your guitarist decides to pipe up/create drama/take up more space than the group dynamic allows for, just throw em out. Lastly to my fellow guitarists, you are a musican first and guitarist second and music is a Co-Op activity, not PvP. Also trying to show off for your friends is cringe at best and when you do it on your band mates instrument of choice its also socially effed in the context of band dynamics. Find a partner that strokes your fragile ego instead, at least then when he/she leaves becasue you are a insecure ass your band/friends are still there for you
Hey man give him his bass back bc at the beginning you could of used the one behind you bro 😂 but all jokes aside, love this video and even the face gestures you were doing while playing the bass lol the looking at the imaginary bass player for approval look
Oh my God yes lol. And they always look at you for the longest time with the same facial expressions too, and I just stand there awkwardly going, "uh yeah... Good job, sounds good" 😄

They are guitarists that are also bassists. People are capable of multiple mentalities.
As a songwriter and guitarist with a degree in music that has toured, recorded and played everything from medium sized festivals with +1000 people to clubs infront of 5 bored girlfriends drinking free beer. I have one tip for my fellow songwriters. For every 1 average/good/great rythm section there is probably 500k to 1mil guitarists that can do exactly what your current guitarist does, there is a severe inflation of guirtarists in the world after all. So as a songwriter, if you find a good bass player and/or drummer hold on to them for dear life. If your guitarist decides to pipe up/create drama/take up more space than the group dynamic allows for, just throw em out.
Lastly to my fellow guitarists, you are a musican first and guitarist second and music is a Co-Op activity, not PvP. Also trying to show off for your friends is cringe at best and when you do it on your band mates instrument of choice its also socially effed in the context of band dynamics. Find a partner that strokes your fragile ego instead, at least then when he/she leaves becasue you are a insecure ass your band/friends are still there for you
Where the fuck were you for the 20 years I spent on tour?
Glad you added Dawn Patrol in there and FWTBT too!
