Mark Foster made this entire song (and I believe most of the album) all by himself. building such an infectious bassline along with everything else alone is unreal. One of the best indie songs of the 21st century was made by a single person.
Indeed he's very talented and wrote this song in it's entirety music and all, though the album itself was written pretty evenly by the whole band according to interviews; however, in those same interviews they also said the album was really meant to back up this one song, so Pumped Up Kicks is definitely the core of the album
@Juan Lucas Fraschini okay he clearly doesn't understand music as a whole if hes going to reject something so important to the band,and the fact that he doesn't understand how rare bass players are is r#tarded in his part
Great playing! - Was looking to play this myself and the tabs really help out with that. Definitely going to have to check out some more of your videos. Keep it up!
Good job! I'm sure someone might have mentioned already, but why not just use 4 flats on the clef and avoid those G#, D#, A#,.... Keep it all in F minor . It makes it so much easier to read. Although I also enjoyed the challenge! 😀😉
Besides a slightly fuller timber, what's the point of the D# on D1 compared to D# on A6 then back up the E 6,4,1 ? Seems way easier to not make that big jump.
I think it's in a different key (I suck at theory so idk if that's the right term) but the one I find works best is the one in the Joey Wells cover. It has tabs in it so go ahead and check it out if you want. Good luck learning the song!
Any particular reason you chose to play the e flat (D# written) jumping up to 1 on the D rather than than staying in the position and playing it at 6 on the A and just stepping down to the C? Wondering if it's for the tone, Fink himself switches it up and sometimes jumps to the D string but often plays it all through C on the A string
Just curious. I just ran across your videos and I know this is older. But why not just play the whole thing in first position? Why shift up to frets 6 and 8?
Ahoj Harry , tu Marťas. Máš odo mňa like za fantastické video. Postrádam ale i nejaký český bigbeatový song medzi videami. Bolo by to krásne , nájsť českú pesničku s basovým tabom a basovým doprovodom zároveň . Si moc šikovný muzikant ,tak nech Ti to tak krásne hrá i naďalej.Zdraví Marťas z Řevnic
New to bass, at like 20 seconds what does the 6 8 6 with a thing under it mean? Does that mean you slide it into the 8th fret then back to the 6th or play both at the same time?
Been wondering the same. Am new to bass and it seems easier to play in first position although you still have to jump a little to do the 6 - 4 on the E string.
Is it just me, or, in the third measure, it's supposed to be a1, but you wrote e1, and, in the fourth measure, it's supposed to be e1, but you wrote a1?
I think you're playing right when it comes to playing the notes but your tabs are not synced sometimes with the way you play, especially at the beginning where you're going to a D# on the A string instead of when you're supposed to follow with what you wrote in the tabs. I just don't really vibe with the whole tone frequency shift, you're just playing a simple bass line and you make it like some sort of quirk playing from different ways.
I absolutely find a detestable and bassist write music like this it's like your playing the same nots in sequence and then decide you wanna play the exact same notes but on different strong that lead absolutely no where but back its original sequence. It's not quirky it's fucking fake talent to make a simple song seem complicated
