I just heard this song in the game for the first time a couple days ago and I instantly had to look it up. I’m so glad to see such an awesome cover of it!
hilarious that I had this stuck in my head, looked up "Hades bassline" and the exact song I had in my head is the first result. looking forward to practicing this
Nice work, and wonderful tutorial too! I really like the bassline in this partcular tune: it’s good for weighing your options before you start drowning in lava at 17 Heat again. Now I can listen to it in meatworld and learn to play it properly! =)
Thanks! The time signatures that I decided to roll with are the ones that made the most sense to me. One could argue that the whole thing is just 4/4 (and if that works for you, is totally valid!), but for me hearing it as 8/8 (3+3+2) and then 16/8 (3+3+3+3+2+2) makes internalizing the feeling of the meter a lot cleaner.
@@ScottPenick This does make a lot more sense, yeah! Really like your not-so-standard but-very-sensible decision to divide the 8ths into trios and duos rather than quartets.
Hahaha, thanks! Though the comments were fun, I do think there's legit value in them, because when we know what the music is *for*, we can embody that in our playing.
@@ScottPenick Oh! That's really interesting. I don't play bass or guitar at all personally, so I don't really know about that stuff. Well, now I've learned something new, I suppose.
The exact scale it runs through is the D double harmonic major scale I believe, which is the same as harmonic major but with the 2nd scale degree being flat, which gives it the really hot sound
Great job, I think you captured the tone and aggression of the bassline, which I think is very important to overall feel of the song. One question, what is the significance of putting the song in 8/8 and 16/8? I never really seen this written out before and the phrasing of the sheet music is very interesting. Would there be a more common way to have written this out?
I chose those because of where the strong pulses of the meter are. They are essentially as follows: 8/8 -> 3 + 3 + 2 {most of the time} 16/8 -> 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 You'll notice that I set the beam grouping to match that pulse as well to help in visual parsing it. There are other interpretations this that are totally valid, for what it's worth. You could hear the 8/8 sections in 4 with an accent on the 'and' of 2 most of the time, but to me that's a confusing way to view it.
Thank you so much for uploading this with tabs! I love this game and as a bassist when I heard the bass lines I HAD to learn it haha :) you got a new sub!
awesome!! I love this bassline so much. I hope I can manage to make the same tone with my guitar tho thanks for uploading. I looked for a tutorial a while ago but didn't find any. I'm glad I looked it up again.
DI into my Scarlett 2i2, using BiasFX as my amp sim. You can find the signal chain on their ToneCloud or whatever they call it as 'Hades Through Asphodel Bass'. (I'm not a huge fan of BiasFX, I'm sure this tone could be accomplished with another amp sim)
The only criticism I have of this is the way you grouped everything in triplets even if the momentary feel is in straight eighths. This song uses the 4/4 clave for the main bits, so seeing you notate it as 2 sets of 3 eighths and then 2 eighths is good, but the time signature doesn’t need to be 8/8 for it. That implies it’s compound time, and that makes playing stuff that’s felt as straight feel really wonky. I have to look away from the screen because the notation trips me up, even when the 4/4 clave’s notation is standardized and allows for the shifting feel without any need for forced grouping or stuff like that. On the whole though, this is excellent
I can't really play piano, so I'm not sure I understand. Does the regular sheet music / staff notation at the top not work? I'm not sure it's much of a piano song though, to be honest...
@@ScottPenick I’ve tried playing it but it doesn’t really sound right. It could be me messing up, I don’t know. I’ll try again or figure out a different way.
I use Bias FX 2 as an amp sim, unfortunately I've never used a real-life pedal or amp in my life so I won't be able to help with the mapping between the BiasFX name and the real name, but the pedals used are, in order: 'Advance Compressor' {looks like an old analog device feeding into a console} 'Clone Deluxe' {picture of centaur} 'Octaver' {tiiiiny bit of +1 octave} 'Bass Muff' {partially bypassed} 'British Lead Bass' {cabinet} 'Bass Superb Duo' {speaker} Hopefully this is enough to get you started. I experimented for a looooong time trying to dial in a tone that I liked for this one.
Nice! Apparently there are people out there that hate the active pickup circuitry (found out after I bought it), but it made the chunky distorted sounds possible for this recording so I dunno.

I just bought a bass because of this game...
Hell yeah!
Lmao I literally just bought one because of the awesome OST and those covers! Can't wait
Gonna buy one in a couple of days. Definitely will be one of the first songs i'll learn.
@@yuval465 progress report?
I bought my friend's bass just for this song, lol.
These hades songs are really helping me out as a beginner , thanks so much for making these
Me: *deciding which boon I want*

Darren Korb is a genius. Well played, sounds wonderful!

When you've cleared the floor and are deciding which boon to pursue: (this video)
Amazing execution of an underappreciated piece! Makes me wanna learn how to play bass...
I now want to play bass guitar
Dude your covers rock, thanks so much for including those tabs - they are so well done.
Thank you SOOO MUCH for including standard notation!!!!! BASS, er, BOSS move!
Nice work, and wonderful tutorial too! I really like the bassline in this partcular tune: it’s good for weighing your options before you start drowning in lava at 17 Heat again. Now I can listen to it in meatworld and learn to play it properly! =)
Also I really appreciate the small things like changing the time signature in the always-on key section as it changes in the melody!
Thanks! The time signatures that I decided to roll with are the ones that made the most sense to me. One could argue that the whole thing is just 4/4 (and if that works for you, is totally valid!), but for me hearing it as 8/8 (3+3+2) and then 16/8 (3+3+3+3+2+2) makes internalizing the feeling of the meter a lot cleaner.

Great job! Loved the little comments above the tabs, like "smash Lernie's stupid face(s)".
Hahaha, thanks! Though the comments were fun, I do think there's legit value in them, because when we know what the music is *for*, we can embody that in our playing.
@@ScottPenick Oh! That's really interesting. I don't play bass or guitar at all personally, so I don't really know about that stuff. Well, now I've learned something new, I suppose.
2:24 love this
Me too, easily my favorite part. I'm trying to sit still so that people can watch to learn to play it themselves but I can't stop moving in my chair.
in the main riff, is that a certain type of scale or something? it sounds so cool, idk much about music haha
Yeah! If you're referring to the part starting at 0:41, I'd say those riffs are strongly built on the harmonic minor scale.
The exact scale it runs through is the D double harmonic major scale I believe, which is the same as harmonic major but with the 2nd scale degree being flat, which gives it the really hot sound
Xtra spicyy, hot
Never get a chance to appreciate the music in-game. This sounds awesome!

@@ScottPenick Thank you, I appreciate the response. Your explanation makes sense...
Tight AF.
Gerat job !
Awesome cover, your tone is simply killer! Great job
Such a nasty bass line! It’s been stuck in my head for weeks now !
Thank you so much for uploading this with tabs! I love this game and as a bassist when I heard the bass lines I HAD to learn it haha :) you got a new sub!
Hell yeah! I have 2 others up (Out of Tartarus, The Exalted) that are also a lot of fun to play. Enjoy, and thanks for the sub!
Awesome!! Really well done, with such cool riffs and the perfect amount of grunge. I love your time signature decisions, it makes this easy to follow!
Jazzy hype, yet relaxing exciting notes
Thats how I feel about it
Freaking awesome job man
My god what an amazing cover
as a saxophonist, this reminds me of why bass is kinda better than most instruments
Awesome video! Thanks for uploading the tabs!
I love that tone, so chunky
awesome!! I love this bassline so much. I hope I can manage to make the same tone with my guitar tho
thanks for uploading. I looked for a tutorial a while ago but didn't find any. I'm glad I looked it up again.
How do you do it with the Guitar?
Maybe you could use an octave pedal?
Amazing job!
epic stuff right here 🅱ass
Sounding great as always!
Thanks Jesse, much appreciated!
whoa that fucking changeup at 2:20 😩
how did i never notice that??
This had 777 likes, almost pained me to give the 778th as this hellish riff is truly divine!
I wanna play bass like you when I grow up
I'm gonna be a blitzball when I grow up!
Beautifullllll
aaa so cool!!! thank you for this, awesome job!!
Legend
This sounds really clean. Whats your recording setup?
DI into my Scarlett 2i2, using BiasFX as my amp sim. You can find the signal chain on their ToneCloud or whatever they call it as 'Hades Through Asphodel Bass'.
(I'm not a huge fan of BiasFX, I'm sure this tone could be accomplished with another amp sim)
Nice one bro. 🔥
So fucking badass goddamn
Oh learnie here we go again
Holy shit man how did you get that sick as fuck tone???
how do you get that bass tone
Awesome cover!
What is the pedal that you use?
The only criticism I have of this is the way you grouped everything in triplets even if the momentary feel is in straight eighths.

Hey! If it's alright can you make some tabs for The king and the bull?
This bass tone is unreal. How are you getting that delicious grit?
in HD!?
I don’t know if you can do this but please can you translate the notes to piano? I can not find a way to do this or any piano tutorial for this song.
I can't really play piano, so I'm not sure I understand. Does the regular sheet music / staff notation at the top not work? I'm not sure it's much of a piano song though, to be honest...
@@ScottPenick I’ve tried playing it but it doesn’t really sound right. It could be me messing up, I don’t know. I’ll try again or figure out a different way.
@@johnnyspiritosanto1648 It believe it should be correct. Keep in mind you'll need to read it as bass clef, not treble clef.
@@ScottPenick ok thank you
2:51
what are you using to get that tone?
I use Bias FX 2 as an amp sim, unfortunately I've never used a real-life pedal or amp in my life so I won't be able to help with the mapping between the BiasFX name and the real name, but the pedals used are, in order:
'Advance Compressor' {looks like an old analog device feeding into a console} 'Clone Deluxe' {picture of centaur} 'Octaver' {tiiiiny bit of +1 octave} 'Bass Muff' {partially bypassed} 'British Lead Bass' {cabinet} 'Bass Superb Duo' {speaker}
Hopefully this is enough to get you started. I experimented for a looooong time trying to dial in a tone that I liked for this one.
@@ScottPenick wow! Thanks for the response man. I use BIAS FX as well. Do you have the board saved on ToneCloud?
@@prezofbfclub Okay, I think (?) I did it, but I've never used the ToneCloud so I'm not sure. It should just be called 'Hades Through Asphodel'.
@@ScottPenick I see them. Your are awesome! Thanks for sharing. Truly appreciate you and your content
this sounds betetr than the originl in my oppinion
😎🤙
bass should be put in ilegality for having such destructive potential
Thank you for all the hard work you put on your vids. The whole channel is awesome, definitely got my sub. Check my Hades cover if you like. Cheers
yo we got the same guitar
Nice! Apparently there are people out there that hate the active pickup circuitry (found out after I bought it), but it made the chunky distorted sounds possible for this recording so I dunno.
how can i get that tone?
I dont have anything against picks but am lazy and depressed, can this be double thumbed and still sound good?
God damn I should buy a pick
