Thats brilliant man, try doing it with your fingers instead of a pick, gets a better sound and allows you to tap notes into the sweep as well! great playing tho!
Regardless if he's using a pick, holy shit that would be hard to do on those strings. Fucking nicely done. Bass like this sounds nice actually too, listen to Protest the Hero.
is that an rbxjm2? I'm just going by the infinity inlays. Also, is your picking hand doing the circular motion instead of straight down and back? Either way nice work
I don't have the tab, but the pattern is pretty simple. Start from the D scale: 1th, 3th major, 5th, then repeat theese notes on the higher octave. And continue with the same pattern for the A#, C, A. D....A#....C....A.... enjoy!!
@bitethis47 no, these are regular sweep arpeggios...3/4 fingers, but i didn't do it very well cause i did it too fast...look the last video for better execution
ok, it's your opinion. I don't think that bass is a lead instrument, but between whiles I like play solos in lead guitar style. A lot of good bassists do that. It's a thing that someone like and someone not.
No its actually easier on bass because you dont have to worry about overbleeding as much due to the strings being farther apart. Stamina is the only thing harder about bass.
Slatan420.... it's not a question of music boundaries, as you can see from the bass player I quoted, there are many extremist... the point is that, as I'm sure you know, music is colours, feelings, not just tecnique, especially if the tecnique is not applyed to music. Playing random notes is useless, what I asked was just to show the tecnique on a music contest and demonstrate that the bass can still have is role in a band without be "another guitar"
and you have to press harder on the strings. Not to mention the fact that the strings are way bigger than a guitar, which is strange when trying to sweep at first.
that's why i asked him "Build a chords progression and play over them." so we can really understand if it is just tecnique or if there is a practical use of SW on a bass... Personally every solo whithout music has no reason to exist. you wanna talk abbout music and solo tecnique on the bass? please refer to bass players like pastorius, mark king, alan caron, steve bailey, anthony jackson, markus miller, michael manring, tony levin, stu hamm and so forth... Have a nice day mate...
well, you heard wrong. there are plenty of 3 string arpeggios you can do. One of the easiest i've heard is in Bleeding Mascara by Atreyu - its a three string arpeggio with a hammer on (or a tap if you want to make it look harder).
i play both - and going back and forth regularly feels weird for the first couple times you sweep on each one after playing the other one. After that it feels normal though.
I hate people who think music/instruments have to be played a certain way. I believe you have forgotten what playing is all about... making music and having a good time..
sweep picking lo dice la parola stessa è una tecnica a plettro. Se vuoi usare le dita vai di sweep arpeggio...il risultato è completamente differente. Guardati bene billy sheehan che è un mago di quella tecnica
whats with the dum coments about guitars, its the same old when some one lurns the bass properly it shows up the naff guitar players. and by the way its a bass guitar so he is using a type of guitar grow up. new playing man keep it up
JaysonC117, dude you have no idea the intricacies of bass. Yes there are awesome guitar riffs, but dood there are some bass lines that guitarist cant barely play dood. Ever listen to "Laberinto" by "Hiroshima Will Burn"??
Don't think that. To dominate an instrument require a lot of years of practice. When I see a good player I think that if he learned to play as well, me too will be able to learn as him! Think positive.
@HeavenFort i don't understand why musicians are "respected" more for playing the same thing in a more difficult manner. as long as it sounds the same, what's the difference?
