@@theqoulyv4192 How do people like you, after over 30 years of the internet's existence, still don't understand this very simple, very overused joke by now?
@@user-nk3re4dj5h his response was almost more funny than the original comment. how come that with over 30 years of the internet's existence people still just respond reflexively to the lowest common denominator?
I'll tell ya clay, you do exactly what a bassist should do, you leave a distinct mark without distracting from anything else, you blend in, yet stand out at the same time. Not an easy line to walk.
Your words were perfect. Only of the one bassists I listen to a song with, and I can hear a distinct bass line and even point it out, even though I have no fucking idea "what a bass is" - never played one. That's a hard thing to accomplish for me as guitarist hearing music where I'm unconsciously focusing on the guitars all the time... you've said it very well.
@@josetobias8084you can hear bass in a lot of genres. i could go more in depth but basically, when you can't hear bass it's either your audio quality or you don't know how to listen for bass (which is just a matter of practice). but as a musician, i would recommend you to know how the bass sounds and what it does, otherwise your guitars will sound shitty. go watch rob scallon's video respect the bass. and watch davie or bass buzz or isolated bass tracks so you know what the instrument sounds like and what it adds to the music.
@@salty_3k506oh, kinda old reply, sorry for that. Yeah, we have to know perfectly what a bass is, what it sounds like and everything - I was kind joking when I said I don't know what it is, just a common guitarist mind of locking on it 🤣. Thank you for the recommendations though, I did listen to Bass Buzz, and his videos are really fantastic - I did know Davie from before, slapping that bass. Just to close it out: I've been listening to jazz more and more, due to my studies and friends, and bass is really fantastic and fundamental - really mesmerizing. Didn't mean to offend anyone, just to express my little mind. 💗
@@RojCowles Yeah, that's actually true. But even Tim's yt channel is only at 700+K subs rn. He should've at least have like 3M subs and the rest of the members at least 1.5M to 2M subs. They're all underrated. I'm a also a musician btw and i've seen some really good bass players out there but if you look at Clay's technique it was really unique.
@@Chrysanthemums >700K subs is a truly impressive amount relatively. Both Steve Vai and Dream Theater have over 700k but under 800k. Even Deftones has only 928K.
It's amazing how intricate each piece is (bass, guitar, drums) yet they harmonize so well and sound absolutely insane together. Kudos to all members of the band. Yall are Kings
Aww man, was hoping you’d keep going all the way to breakdown right at the end of the song. The slaps and rhythm in that part sound amazing and it’s be cool to see how it’s done
One of The Most if not The most Badass Bass players of all time. The revenge of The Ox. Would love to see more Clay videos play-throughs and tutorials for us Bass players.
It's probably because the drummer in Polyphia is also named Clay... and they are actually two halves of a whole person with so much talent they had to split up so as not to overwhelm us all. 🤔🤯
Finally, after 10 years, we get more… Clay’s contents are like drugs, consuming them makes you happy, abstaining from them makes you thirst for them more, only to consume them again after a long time, making you happier…
Clayton Gerald-Lavert Gober you magnificent bastard, just subbed up to you bc you entered my algorithm and you’ve more than earned it. I feel you don’t get enough love my guy, so add one to that 24.7K. 1000%BIGFACT: I’ve heard it, seen it a thousand times over and I’ll mockingbird it by saying that….somebody need to boss up and give you a Siggy bass like c’mon already.
Let me tell you how fn excited I was when you guys covered that 9mm parabellum song for Berserk's Intro. And then you go and have THAT in the background of your playing. Great job Clay.
As an electric guitarist I have an insane respect for bassists. People think its so simple but knowing when and how to put that groove in the background is difficult as hell. Unless your AC/DC
