Mika is such a great bass player. GREAT stage presence. I've been learning this song on my guitar. Didn't know you did a lesson on the bass portion too!! SWEEEEET!
Great lesson man!! Love Monolord lots and they're stuff is pretty hard to learn from ear. For a recommendation for a future lesson, Cometh Down Hessian by High On Fire would be fantastic to learn with your tutorials.
Really glad you like the lesson! Thank you for checking it out and I will put Cometh Down the Hessian on the list of lessons to be made - that song RULES🤘
Beast of a video, Sir! Will spend the entire day practising these riffs. Sir, can you do some tutorials on Ahab? And Happy New Year 2022 to you, dear Sir!
So cool that you like the lesson!!! Monolord rules and has great bass line that are really fun to play. May need a little more info to give a good answer to your question though :)
Thanks for checking out the video🙏🙏🙏Glad you liked the voting man. They are the 2 most requested songs - other than every OM/SLEEP song that Al ever shredded on🤘
Great lesson as always, dude! I don’t really listen to monolord but am def gonna give this one a try. Do you think you could try another high on fire song ? Love your tutorials on those.
Will definitely do a bunch more High on Fire songs! Have tons of requests and they are one of my favorite bands🔥Thank you so much for checking out the channel and I hope you have fun playing some Monolord🤜🤛🤘
Hey Jered! I'm so glad I've found your channel, you have such a great taste of music and play great and your explanations are easy to learn, so first of all, thank you for your work! I have a question (might be asked a lot of times tho): I have a standard Jazz Bass with EADG tuning and 45-105 strings. Should I get some thicker strings to tune that low? Because 45-105 just don't feel right for me tuned that low. And also should I replace the nut to put some thicker strings like from the five-string? I've tried to put the BEAD strings from the five-string (idk the gauge to be honest, just random old strings I've got from a drummer :D) and they didn't fit in my bass's nut. Sorry for my mediocre English skills :D
Great question! For BEAD tuning I would use 55 or 60 for the now D string and 120 or 125 on the B string. As for the nut, you will most likely have to get them widened a little, but only necessary if you’re going to keep your bass in B standard for the foreseeable future🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff I actually think I'll buy an another bass to keep one in BEAD. I just don't like the five-string ones, you know, I'd rather have a four-string with a low tuning. I have relatively small hands so I prefer Jazz Bass over the P-bass even though I like the sound of both. Thank you for the tips
thanks for all the instructional videos. I looked up strings on amazon, the power slinkys 110 are able to be tuned down to a B? I think watching string theory with Justin Chancellor has done more harm than good, 🤘🤘
Great question!! I use 115’s and am set up for C-Standard - this works ok for tuning to B Standard every once in awhile. If I were to permanently set up in B Standard, I would use 120’s or 125’s🤘
Thanks for always taking time to respond. I realize that vid 3 years old. I took your prior advise that the rotosound jazz77 at 110 would work for C sharp turnings and works well. Thanks again🤘
The counting was oddly helpful. Great vid again. Ok, I hate to do this but, Mirror Reaper by Bell Witch... Not whole thing, but it would be really cool if you went over some of the the tapping techniques.
That’s so cool that the counting helped! It really helped me when I was figuring it out, so thought it might help some other folks out too. Thanks for checking out the lesson man🤜🤛🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff I'm going from my Bass to a TU-3 then over to the Big Muff. Is there an easy way to use the TU-3 to tune down two steps? Do you have any videos on how to tune down? Like right now the TU-3 just auto tunes my 4 strings but is there a way to just say, "Tune down two steps? I realize that your channel isn't for complete beginners so if you can even point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
@@Denvercoder Great question! The easiest way that I have found is to set the TU-3 to “Chromatic” mode. In this setting the tuner will display the note and pitch being played making it way easier to tune down. From there, tune the G-String down 2 steps to Eb/D#, the D-String down to Bb/A#, the A-String down to F, and the E-String down to C. Hope that helps🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff That does help, a lot. I was watching other videos and they were like, "To tune down to B standard you need to change the strings, or just get a second bass. :D
@@BeholdenToTheRiff thank you, just bought 110s (i thought you used 110 top) it turned out i would have to drill in my bass to have thicker strings. Anyway I have cheap second hand bass, and strings were 2/3rd of its price :p Im a guitar player but i try to chase that doom tone, and bass does most of the job so Im experimenting with it. Anyway... Your video is very good, nice tone and playing.
