Mötley Crüe - Girls Girls Girls / bass cover / playalong with TAB 

Sixx aint technical but his shit always works 🤙🏻

Awesome job !

Tributes and covers are totally different animals in a tribute you have to be "Nikki Sixx" and that means an on stage presence like he's got. In a cover band you just have to play the notes. Honestly I would not take a gig with a tribute band. It seems like a lot of fun but I don't know if I could be someone else? In a cover you can screw up but in a tribute you better get it all right because you don't get gigs for your own band... you are getting gigs for whatever band you are emulating. One Motley Ctue tribute band on You Tube is The Crue. But perfection... Mick is too tall. People notice.

My fiancé is also in a Motley Crue tribute band! What’s yalls band’s name? Ours is Mötley Krüe - A Tribute To The World’s Most Notorious Band

still giving me a hard time lol

Nikki's bass lines started off pretty simple with catchy hooks, but, once he changed his focus to playing bass instead of playing with needles his playing started to get really interesting. Listen to the bass lines in SixxAM's Life is Beautiful or a recent live version of any old Motley classic. He changed the bass parts on a lot of the old songs to match how his playing style has changed, a little more complicated, musically interesting, but most importantly cool to hear. a good example of what I'm talking about and what I always tell the "Nikki can't play bass" crowd is to listen to the original version of Home Sweet Home followed by Home Sweet Home '91, Home Sweet Home (with Chester Beddington sharing lead vocals and done for Hurricane Katrina benefit), and end it with Home Sweet Home "live from cruefest"...you'll hear Nikki's progression as a player and the band's as well. Mick Mars' playing on the Katrina version is pure ear candy! Sadly, Chester Beddington was probably the only singer who could have taken over from Vince and they'd still be able to call themselves MC. Listen to him and decide for yourself.

Anybody can play bass

@@brandonvandelden7972 Oh really? Try playing some Victor Wooten and lets see how well you do.

Its only simple in its structure. Nikki Sixx is not a Bass protégée by any standards, but his Bass lines are very instinctual on how it punctuates the right moments in a song, in time with Tommy Lee (especially Tommy's heavy signature foot work). I can't tell if that is because Nikki has good instincts as a bass player/song writer, or that he was aided by Mick Mars. But its a well written Bass line for what it does compared to other stuff you'd hear from other bands of that Genre. By itself, its nothing special. When you hear it in the final mix, you'll see how it punctuates the song at just the right moments.

Bass playing is about the song. It is a question of what band you are in. We say, the bass is king and like a king he acts. Motley was a four piece band, where guitar and bass were linked together. It is commonly told that Mick's guitar is the most recognizable ingredient to their music. That is wrong! It is actually Vince Neil's voice! Nikki and Mick are underlining his vocals, with Tommy driving the thing in typicall 1,2,3,4, manner. When you listen to Queen, you will find that John Deacon's playing is very much linked to Mercury's vocal and piano parts. When it comes to guitar solos, Deacon switches to support May, before he returns to basics.With Rush, it is a whole different story. Same with Maiden. You cannot put Motley, Rush and Maiden in comparision, man. That is pure ignorance!

I see what you did there....lol

Ya, because he's that bad of a player that they essentially mute him

This is a 2001 US Fender Jazz. Thanks for stopping by.

In this video I'm playing a 2001 US fender jazz!

Paul Del Bello active or pasive nice bass !!! 👍👍

I don't. I take requests and try to do as many of them as I can. However if you appreciate my work, you can make a PayPal donation. Link in the description & comments. Thank you! 😉

@@PaulDelBelloYT well if you wanna make some extra monies, i got a list of songs id like to learn. I find that its easier to learn from you than other people on RU-vid.

@@danlewis6591 Post your requests and I'll see what I can do. Thank you! 😉

@@PaulDelBelloYT you on FB?

Yes links in the description

Shane Sperling For sure

I know right, hes playing d standard but staff says E standard?

That represents the strings he's playing on, not the tuning.

Dont forget they made songs in 80's

Kezza73 based on the tab, the bass isn’t tuned to dropped D, the tab is showing standard tuning.

@@bentleymurphree216 Um not quite - it's D tuning at the start of the vid. The Crue played most of their songs tuned down a full step. EADG refers to the strings

Kezza73 my mistake, I must of missed the very beginning of the video, where it clearly stated tuning was in D.

@@bentleymurphree216 All good. I downloaded the Fender tuning app on my phone - life instantly made easier.

Sanoo stratomies :D
