How to play like Krist Novoselic of Nirvana - Bass Habits Ep. 6 

⚠️ ⚠️ Just to clarify, Krist used almost exclusively alternate picking. With 'No downpicking' I mean he does not use a 'only downpicking' policy that most bassist in this type of band use .

Definitely one of the most underrated rock bassists, man, Krist was a total beast on bass

Very underrated bass player.

Krist is one of the reasons I picked up a bass guitar. I love his bass parts, especially the melodic lines that he played. He would play different riffs during the choruses than the guitar that really added a whole other element to the songs.

When you said "no downpicking" I thought you meant krist only played with uppicking lmao

I’ve been playing for 25 years, thousands of hours of experience. Recently I started giving lessons to some high school students who are ridiculously into Nirvana. I’ve learned that Novoselic was an awesome bassist. The laid back but aggressive attitude in his lines is difficult to nail down. Maybe I’m just too old and don’t have that energy anymore.

Krist is one of the greatest bass players ever. His sense of rhythm and melody are pretty darn awesome and just as good as anyone else in Nirvana. He just gave an excellent counterpoint to Kurt's vocals.

Blew on the bleach Album also starts with bass and it’s really good

Krist Novoselic has long been one of my favorite bass players of the 90's and is totally underrated.

I'm a guitarist and I thought learning the bass would be just an easier version. How I wrong i was it's an entirely different animal and I love it krist got me into wanting to learn more about the bass definitely one of the best bass players of rock history

One of my favorite Nirvana songs is Scentless Apprentice. The bass and drums blend in together.

Always a great lessons from you, Paul! Thank you.

I love your videos mate. So in-depth in theroy and tone

Amazing video as always, thank you Paul

Love this series! 🤟🏻

I came from your John Deacon video, loving your analysis of all these great bass players!

Under appreciated bass player for sure! Given the credit Nirvana gets...

The work you put into this channel with breaking down the styles of different bass players, just amazing! ❤❤❤ Thank you buddy!

Great video! Your demonstration of how make a dull bass part into KN bass part is very useful and spice up one's playing!

Addicted to these

Really enjoyed your dismantling of Krists bass playing Lounge Act what a line Helped create Nirvanas sound

this is a such good serie ! learning all the tricks from the greatests Please, Geezer Butler for the next You rock man!

His Gibson RD had electronics designed by Moog!

Dude you're killing it in these videos. I just found you a few days ago.

Glad you did a vid on Chris . He was always the best musician in Nirvana by far .

Thanks for this video man!!

This is just what I needed.

I am learning a lot from you! Thank you!

Great video!=) I am not the biggest Nirvana fan but I like Krist Novoselic which I think is an underrated bass player

He's so fucking underrated bass player, and he team up with dave what a fucking magic ❤️

"No down picking" Dee Dee Ramone left the chat.

I love Kris Novoselic!

Krist is amazing! I want a video like this of Gene Simmons! Greetings from Argentina

He’s one of my favorite bassists. He was great when h played bass for Flipper!

MUY INTERESANTE!

This is amazing!!! ImI

I love Krist, he's one of my favorite bass players and in my opinion one of the most underrated, and it's his bass lines that I've learned first. With that said, I have no f****** idea how he managed to play with his bass below his waist while bouncing around! I've tried it, again and again, and I just can't do it. Maybe it's his extremely big hands? Does he even have big hands? I know he's extremely tall. But then again I know of other players, both bassists and guitar players from the '90s who did the same thing, I just can't get it !

Krist is an amazing bass player, his bass playing is very original and he never really tried to be be lazy like most bass players in the 90s and just play on the top string. Another great bass player to mention is Robert deleo of STP

awesome dude, can you do cliff burton next plz

Geezer Butler please!! (early sabbath)

greatest good ❣️

You're great

I always get Beatles vibes from “About a Girl”

great stuff...krist is def underrated...great player..Listening to incesticide right now

Can u do John Deacon please 🤩

Can you do a video on roger glover

💖

Please do a video on Dan andriano from alkaline trio!!!

make a video about Chi Cheng (deftones) plss

What is the song about the “practical demonstration” in the end of the video?

Can we get a video of how to play bass like Ethan Eck from the band, Paper Sweaters?

Hi, can you make a video of Klaus Flouride from Dead Kennedys please?

Please do a video on how to sound like Mike Dirnt from Green Day.

Very underrated bass player

Drop the bass on your head. Get that elusive 'skull tone'.

You’re tearing me apart Lisa!

Lounge act is a dope ass bass line

i would really like one of this videos on ben shepherd or mike starr that would be sick

Love your videos! You should do a video on David Elfeson from Megadeath.

Yeah, people call it a "slash" chord, but correct term is "inversion". When you play a chord, but rather than the root note on the bottom, you play one of the other notes on the bottom. If you play an open C major chord, but also fret the low E at the 3rd fret (G note), you have a C/G That is, a C major with the fifth (G) on the bottom instead of the root (C). If you play the C chord, but also the low open E you have a C/E - C major with the third (E) on the bottom.

DESCENDANTS bassists video please

are you sure with the roto stainless steels? i've read he used nickels. not sure whats right

What picks did he use?

Do a video on one of the most underrated bass players of all time Harley Flanagen of The Cro-Mags.

If you haven't you should do videos on Andy Rourke and Steve Severin

I just noticed Krist holds his pick between his thumb and his middle finger. Funny, I do that too.

How could you not add the best nirvana bass line Sliver

I couldn’t hear the bass parts for the examples

0:49 eh i don't think i'd call it green day-ish. mike dirnts playing is a bit more technical and fast

You can clearly see that cliff burton was a big influence on his bass playing

you'll get even closer, if not spot on with a jazz bass rather than a P bass. His tones were naturally mid scooped from the bass that he played, while the P bass's tones are higher in mids.

I thought Kurt wroted the bass lines too 🤔

Cool insights! How much more boring Nirvana would be if he just doubled the guitar. Isn't he pronounced like "Novoselich" though?

I want to sound like Noveselic as much as Paul wants to sound like Rick Beato. Or not.

Chris said he served the guitar.. Like in lounge act... Yup is

krist noveselic did have a certian bass sound tbh in the studio he mainly used humbicking gibson basses in the studio, live it never mattered tho

Bro you said green day...damn

Bon.Te sei italiano. Non capisco se sei Emiliano o Lombardo. vediamo se ho indovinato

Yeah it kinda bugs me he has the "basic bassist" label. His lines aren't exactly difficult to play, but I don't think "basic" is a good descriptor. He definitely has a signature style that is tasteful and adds a lot of melody to Kurt's (actually basic) riffs and vocals. He's had a massive influence on my own playing, and I often wonder what Krist would do in certain situations. Most people (myself included) had no idea what was going on under the guitars on Heart Shaped Box. Krist adds some awesome syncopation via pull-offs and other little rhythmic embellishments.

That turned into a ska punk song at the end

2:10 6.7? I had to think about for a second. You meant 6 feet 7 inches (200.66 cm) tall. There's 12 inches in a foot not 10. Damn those American Imperial measurements. 😁

I love nirvana. Until now

NovoseliC as in each, not eek.

are you seriously claiming he only up-picks? wtf

Thx for uploading. If you have a second come check out my music videos - I'm an indie musician and think you might dig my sound. Really appreciate it!

I mean Krist is doing bends only because the guitar is doing it too, so he changes the note as Kurt and it gives a more sloppy note change and it sounds great, but if Kurt didn't do any bend he wouldn't imo, cuz a bass doing bends where there is no bends just flips the band over and the bass maintains the band in order, so if you change of root by bending you'll lose your bandmates & it will sound quite bad to be honest.

2:09 wow u really just said he is 6 point 7

my thoughts on Krist is he wasn't a good player. I do like Nirvana nonetheless

It's too bad he dumped the Democratic party and supports the Donald Trump Republican party. 😒🐘( M.A.G.A.)

Without Chris and Dave Kurt guitar line is boring shit

😡 😡 😡 😡

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬
