There’s a moment in every bassist’s life when we decide we want to learn Hysteria - but why do we struggle with it so much?
In this lesson I’ve broken the Hysteria bass riff into mini step-by-step challenges, so by the end of this video you can glue them all together and legit play the whole riff.
The first couple challenges will focus on your plucking speed and endurance, which is the engine that drives the Hysteria train. (okay, enough of that analogy)
Then we’ll go through some of the easier fretting pieces, training up on the “open string bounce,” followed by some of the gnarlier notes with plenty of fretting advice.
Getting the Hysteria bass tone is half the fun of playing this tune, so our final challenges will cover how to do a decent Wolstenholme impression.
Then we’ll wrap it all up, playing the challenges in sequence until we get to the final form of the riff. (and don’t miss the secret boss level at the very end)

I don’t even play bass but it is so cool
I came here to learn some Def Leppard, wth??
Even though it has passed 3 months since the video was uploaded, I can finally say that I can play hysteria (the whole song: riff, chorus and breakdown) thanks to this video. I really thank you Josh for this video :D
I swear every bass tutorial on youtube should be like this one, honestly it is a massive help for anyone who is learning bass by himself
I wish this channel existed when i started bass.
Josh is an amazing teacher he knows how to keep your attention without losing the point of the lesson
Agreed this dude is a great teacher. He is my go to channel for all things bass
True he learned me to Play bass
A super massive help
This is a man who understands practice and educational theory and applies it instead of just showcasing notes/chords for easy content. Bravo sir
Thanks Josh! Josh power!
And also extremely funny and entertaining! We want more (you won't get fired)
Mothah flippin’!
me when i get a notification that bassbuzz has uploaded:
*happy bass noises*
same
So far no one has covered this bassline in this much details until Josh
Best hysteria bass tutorial out here !!
Thanks Ariff!
Absolutely...
@@BassBuzz How about SLTS next time?
I already learned how to play Hysteria but I still clicked because this is the best bass channel next to Charles Berthoud. Great tutorial.
Charles is great but I never "learn" anything from his channel, more just left with my jaw dropped 😁
I would say the aim of the two is completely different. Josh is a teacher, Charles B is a showman.
For me the best channel is davie's because one of his goals is to let everyone know the bass and before i watched davie i didnt frickin know what a bass guitar was and now what i want is a bass
@@fapking9033 gotta get one! 🎸😎
@@fapking9033 I would agree with your opinion to some extent. It is undeniable that for someone on the internet, Davie was able to succeed in influencing the name of bass guitar in a manner which was more easily acceptable for people. He combined bass playing with satire and jokes, so he was able to reach out to a great number netizens. His fiverr series, _______ meets bass and what not. But tbh, he's really not the same kind of Davie he was before. Nowadays he's more about Reddit reviews, and significantly less about bass playing in his videos.
I love how Chris makes it look way easier than it is live. Honestly, Chris is one of my favourite bassists of all time.
You can see how hard his fingers are picking.... absolute precision but relentlessly hard!
He actually hates playing it live because it requires a lot of stamina.
@@CodeNameV13 yeah no kidding
Hundreds, if not thousands, of bassists (myself included) are all gonna be playing Hysteria whenever someone asks, "Can you play me something?" 😄
Man I crank up my treble and bass and slap the dirtiest korn riff I know lol
Probably the most impressive bassline i know
THIS is why i chose his bass course. all of his lessons are similar to this teaching style. I'm not the best bass player in the world from his course and I didn't expect to be, but man Josh knows how to teach people. If you are at stage 0 beginner, go with Josh's course.
Josh this is really one of your most awesome videos yet. My kids were watching with me "wow dad this guy is awesome and you suck".
The tip about isolating the specific part that you're struggling with so you can improve that part faster has made such an impact on my progress. Always such good little tidbits sprinkled in there between the actual lesson, you always come out of the end of one of Josh's videos with more than what you came for. Dude is such a gifted teacher
Thanks Derek!
I'm about 40 lessons deep in the Beginner to Badass course, I was not paid to say this, and I'm here because I feel confident that I can slow roll my way through this, thanks Josh!
duuuuuude, this video couldn't have come out at a better time! I've been talking with some classmates at my music school about playing this song together and I've been struggling a bit with learning this part. Thanks so much for the tips!
Nice!
Yessss, this has been one of my goals for a while now. Thanks for this!
You're welcome Sam!
I think one of the most important things to remember about this riff is that you should start with your middle finger on your plucking hand. If you start with index, bar 2 will screw you during the last 6 notes and put you in an awkward position for the rest of the bars. Start with your middle finger!
I'm playing bass since about one year. In the beginning just a bit for fun, but after I broke my right foot and couldn't drum for a while, so I started exercising seriously. When I saw the bass line for Hysteria for the first time, I thought I'd never ever be able to play this song. Then I found your tutorial, dared myself to start - and after the first day I'm at challenge 3. Your way of teaching bass and motivating people to play even those songs that seem unplayable is incredible. Thank you so much for this great inspiration - now I believe that in a few weeks or months I'll be able to play this song.
the fact that davie just uploaded and you means it is BASS day
im just 2 weeks into playing bass and your tutorials always help me a lot. i'll be doing this tutorial for sure since hysteria is my favorite song. thank you so much! :)
Amazing video Josh! This is by far the best break down I've seen if this song. Spot on my man!!!
I love the little Conchords clips you slip into your videos!
If it's cool with you
I'll put in some Conchords for you
If I only knew
That that's what you're into
I am blown away by the quality of this lesson. I know this riff like the back of my hand, have watched countless tutorials on this riff specifically (I still suck) and hats off to you for this. Inspired to relearn this correctly and cheers from a new subscriber. 👍
I tried many times to learn this bass line… now I can play it thanks to you. You are a real bass teacher. tnx
this video is so helpful as someone who finds it difficult to learn and remember songs this is fantastic thank you so much!!
After about 3 hours I've finally nailed it! This video made it so much more easier to learn. Thanks so much man :')
This was a riff I never thought I’d even attempt to learn, but thanks to this video I just learned it in about and hour 😁😁😁
Not very good at the 16ths but it sounds just as good to my ear with a bunch of hammer ons! Thanks for this!!
Glad you're having fun with it Steven!
Excellent learning flow. Crystal clear explanation. That is some good teaching. Thank you.
This is probably the best tutorial I’ve seen on TH-cam. On any subject
Thank you!
Josh, I did the Beginner to Badass course and I loved it. I want a blue/purple belt course. I'll give you another Hundred bucks right now! Do it man, I love the way you teach!
I got you on this one. Blue/purple belt all the way.
u have no idea how helpful, clear and easy to understand this was, thank you for all the effort you put into your videos
You're welcome!
Man I started playing bass around a month ago and I've learned this song magically rn, thx!
Excellent tutorial!
Such a sick bass line.
This was terrific. So much to digest in such a short package (that's what she said, badumbump). An excellent lesson of lessons.
Josh you’re truly the best teacher online there is! Love the way you keep everyone interested and amused!
Thank you a lot! I am a 14yo bassist and I have been playing bass for the past 8 months. I have recently found this song and I immediately fell in love with it. Your tutorial helped me learn this song in just two days!
Imagine whipping out this bass line when someone didn’t know you play bass, just straight up insane
One of the best teachers out there...if not the best. When you see R.A.T.M you know the content is just awesome. Thank you Josh!
Thank you so much for your advices and cool and funny tutorials for beginners. You sir have a gift of explaining stuff like no one else:) May gods of bass tones bless you:)
This is the best tutorial on "Hysteria" I've ever seen! Great job, Josh! Thank you very much for this work. And I'd like to thank you in general for your videos, they really made me want to return to my bass and keep playing although before I thought I was already too old to improve and sort of a lost case (haven't played for some years)
Thank you and you're welcome! :)
You sir are a master teacher. One of the best tutorials on utube I’ve ever seen. Absolutely fantastic. Subscribed for sure!!!!!
Josh The Best resource for bass lessons. I am currently taking his lessons Beginner to Badass and bass playing has never been so productive for me! The way he breaks these songs and techniques down makes it simple enough for anyone to get it. Still takes a ton of practice, but totally worth it!
I ordered my bass last saturday, and 3 minutes later ordered Beginner to Badass. Total no brainer, really. This guy knows how to teach.
I'm a guitarist, and I must say this is one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen on TH-cam, I even found out what the watch later button is for 😁
I haven't played in years and coming back this is the first song I tried to pick up. This was quite helpful. Surprisingly it's the first 2 challenges that were the hardest for me. The left hurts more but just super simple plucking 16ths in tempo was hard.
I’ve been learning this song for 3 weeks now. It really helped me with the 2 finger picking. Its an awesome song to learn how to play if you already have some basics.
Thank you so much for this great description! I have never dared to approach this riff, now I'll try 😁
Thanks for all the hard work, much appreciated
You're welcome!
Love your videos! A marvellous bass teacher that explains concepts well.
Excellent. Challenge accepted!
Starting at the beginning. Lets do this thing!
You make it awwwsomely simple to learn. Love it Buddy, keep it up!
Thanks Josh! this is very much appreciated and it will certainly help a lot of us! You re the best ;)
First song I ever learned on bass was Knights of Cydonia. It wasn't tremendously difficult technically speaking, but remembering the chord changes in the middle section was the hardest part. Hysteria by comparison was very easy to learn once I struggled with Knights when I started with nothing.
you can't believe how HELPFUL this was! thanksss so much for this video
Dude just wanna say you're by far the best music youtuber out there. I've learned more from watching you than anywhere else. I can play the bassline to hysteria at about 60 bpm with no mistakes now!!! Might consider that beginner to badass course if I manage to get the money.
Edit: 80 bpm now. Thanks again Josh!
Brooo.Today I could finally play the whole session in the correct bpm and almost perfectly, I am so happy, I started to learn this song like a momth ago.Thx a lot BassBuzz!!
Congrats!
Perfect advices! Thanks a lot, man! 👍🏻
This is one of the first songs i tried to learn on bass, excited to finally do it correctly and well
This is the reason why I’m subscribed.
Thanks Sir!
This is great approach, thanks! I hope you do more videos like this. I would love to see you break down all of anesthesia/kthulu/orion.
this is amazing thanks
Bad ass my man! I strive hours everyday. Straight sweatin' type of practices daily. I cant get the bass out of my head almost ever so finding your video has me stttookkkeed!
Also, please can anyone give one solid reason why there would be dislikes on the video. Lol its free learning wtf is wrong with people.
Thank you so much for the tutorial, an excellent approach to the challenges of difficult bass lines
I did this while watching The Naked Gun and managed to learn the song by the credits. Incredible tutorial.
Just found your lessons the other day and I am loving them so much. You're abilities as a teacher are so amazing and they've been helping me a lot. I'm hoping that you could release a tutorial on reggae basslines at some point. Thank you so much for creating these awesome lessons. Much love and gratitude!!!
Thanks Jayce!
I’m challenging myself to learn this song by the end of the year so this tutorial will be fab! Looking forward to starting the challenges soon
For the love of God this helped a lot pls do more stuff like this it will help us all thank you so much!!
Wow dude. You are an actual inspiration. Simplifying the unsimple.
Fantastic video Josh, thanks for this one.
Really nice breakdown!!
Thank you so much for going over the sound design at the end of the video. It’s not the most important part but it should always be taught and explored.
I can't tell how this channel helped me and make me a better bass player.
Josh your a legend 🙂
Thanks Miguel!
And Josh I am having a problem on bass
I am always trying to find new music with a lot of good Bass but I always walk to the same way and the same bands
Can you help me with it
this video was so good it went from me hoping that one day i could play this bassline to learning it in a few hours. thanks so much
Yes, You are a great teacher! This lesson inspired me .. this challenge jump me up from my stop point .. wow Thank You!
Glad this was helpful Adam!
You are very very good teacher !!!! congrats !!!
thanks for the video man!
This an amazing tutorial!
This is an excellent approach
I really enjoy the way that you explain the things in your videos! Thank you very much!
Thanks Felipe!
Thanks for this video Josh. I wanted to learn to play this song since it came out on 2003... after all this years I have a bass and a good tutorial to follow. :)
what a great lesson!!
the reason for me to pick up a bass - to learn this song. and i promised myself i would learn this after 6 months. and your video came out a week earlier. must be fated
Gives me some nostalgia, Hysteria was one of the first riffs I learned on bass. Yeah, I know it sounds absurd, but really.
Took me about 6 months to play it correctly; this challenge is what kept me wanting to play bass daily. Wow, it's been almost 2 years since that
The practice portion of this was very helpful to practice the plucking technique
I love muse, I love bass, I love hysteria and I love Chris. This is the perfect video, thank you Josh
Thanks so much, Josh. This really helped me break this down Hysteria into manageable pieces. One thing that really stuck with me is your direction to figure out the fingering and stick with it. I have this habit of being so excited to hear myself play something that I go too fast and keep changing the fingering on my fretting hand. Then, it takes me forever to learn a challenging song. I’ve now taken your advice to slow down and figure out the fingering first before I increase speed. Love your videos:)
Damn, this is definitely the best guide on Hysteria (and maybe Bass playing as well) I have seen so far! Breaking this apart is so important. Usually the "how to play" vids are like "Here are the tabs, now watch me fucking shred these 16th notes for the next few minutes... Lol! Easy, isn't it?" meanwhile thousands of young (and old) people in front of the screen putting their Bass back into the case and leaving it there for weeks, months it even years.
Thanks Robert!
This video is actually helping me identify where all my tone issues are coming from. My Sterling Stingray bass is a 4 string active bass, and recently changing the battery allowed the tone nob to work and cover the nasty clacking sound I've been getting. My five string PDB bass is passive, and so not only has a tone of more resonance on the B string, but is harder to get the same fuller tone I get on the four string. I've played a series of 16th notes on the A string on both, same amp settings (I have a Fender Rumble 40), and there is a noticeable difference.
More to this song specifically, I've already gotten quite comfortable with 16th notes, so my challenge is to keep my fingers from flying off the string when I'm shifting. I tend to "jump" between two or three fingers, and with dyspraxia, it's harder for me to control my fingers individually. That is something I can work on, but as you said in the video, I'm already half way there (woah-oh!).
Great job Josh!
Thank you so much! I finally feel that I can play this
Excellent teacher, I've wasted a lot of money with bad teachers and video courses and you just give the best advices for free and in an entertaining manner, great channel even for us beginner guitarists... I'm even tempted to buy a bass...
this is a dream of a tutorial, you are absolutely amazing, thanks a lot!
I also loved your beginner to badass lectures, you are a legend my man!
Thanks Mike!
Josh! Thank you so much for your videos. I really love them. Informative and entertaining!!❤❤Keep posting! God bless
You're welcome!
Thanks for video Josh!
Brilliant teaching! Very clear instructions, no fuss and a bit of humour thrown in to boot. Love it! Just bought a secondhand bass and was just looking to try out some tutorials so may well visit your website to check out your course. If the teaching is of the same standard as in this video it will be money well spent.
Thanks Christianne!
Bravo for this tuto, really well thought with relevant steps. Many thanks
You're welcome Rodrigue!
Usually trying to learn guitar but sometimes grab the bass out. Always enjoyed the BassBuzz content, great work again Josh.
I only tried bits of the first 3 challenges tonight but will be back. I haven't played bass much in a long time so quickly tired. I'll be back though 🤘
Thank you for this lesson! :-)
Thanks Josh I needed this one.
You're welcome Paul!
Josh you rock!
Another challenging and cool riff is "Down Rodeo" from RATM. When I was younger I thought Timmy C's bass riffs were simple, while it's quite the opposite, and by studying his style and blending with mine (plus making a plethora of mistakes) I realized that yes, those riffs will always be remembered as in your face ones!
Thank you Josh!
