Yeah. If studio boss knew beforehand that Cliff was gonna pass away, maybe he would have shelled out money for a underground heavy metal band's debut album in an era which was ruled by pop stars & hair metal bands
Cr33p3rKid Ranging from 100 used to 250,000. I say you should buy an Ibanez SR or GSR if you're learning. Nice entry level instruments for 100-300 usd. Worth it! You can't go wrong with a Squier Jazz (very versatille!) for around 200 dollars either! I was going for the Cliff tone, got some really nice info, but it won't be cheap.
Ride the Lightning was said to be Cliff's and Kirk's album pretty much because they really took control of the song righting etc. i think the call of ktlulu was the only one that dave had helped right in the early day but Cliff and Kirk really wrote some great riffs.
can you imagine, short career but lasting effect on the music world and die hard fans like you and me carrying the the music to share and giving someone an awesome experience.
i love the sound of this bass. it has a real raw yet classic sound to it if that makes any sense. but regardless cliff burton is my number 1 inspiration for bass playing. RIP Cliff
Definitely. Bassists prefer different styles and tones, be it to either "cut-through" or to "support." Some play more notes while others just sit on that E with a pick generally. If anyone has ever heard a song without bass or been in the studio to record, you KNOW that when the producer puts in each instrument one at a time (starting with guitar, drums, vocals and then finally bass) it makes a huge difference.
@@sharonbones1655 Hell yeah, Genes playing us insane. Btw guys listen to "My Last Words" by megadeth, the bass is nasty. Same with holy war (just bass and drums)
I think it's usually drums-bass-guitar-vocals, though. After all, the drums and bass lay the foundation of the song. I remember reading that during the recording of Master of Puppets, Cliff actually recorded his bass tracks after James' rhythm guitar tracks. This was considered unusual.
Fade to Black is one of my favorite songs of all times. I wonder why Cliff thought about fading away… he was such an extraordinary human being maybe he was too much for this world. I hope that Cliff have found his peace. Love you forever wonderful creature
My electric is broke. Had to order a replacement part for the floyd rose bridge. But I whipped out the spanish guitar, checked the tuning and played along. I actually play the acoustic part faster than is necessary when playing this song on my own. So this felt easier than I expected to play along to.
You make a good point about fingers versus a pick. However, what most people do not know is that music engineers nowadays will quantize the bass track to match the kick drum. Before computers they would cut the recording tape of a bass track and tape it back yo sync with the bass drum. By the time Jason was on board alot more money ( bigger budget) was likely invested in perfecting the recording process.
Can someone tell me his eq setting that he uses on R.TL.? I've almost have his sound but it's just not quite right. if anybody knows please tell, I'd appreciate it.
Guys, does anybody have the correct bass tab with exactly same notes as this track? There are a few that I've found, but they're all different from this bass track. Thanks.
There;s isolated tracks on RU-vid, people pulled them from the game Guitar hero. I just mixed them together Loads more on my channel please check them out!
If you ever wondered why Kirk's solos from this era are so fucking perfect... just listen to the bassline. Kirk's just following along with Cliff! I won't say "easy", but composing a guitar solo on top of Cliff's basslines don't take virtuoso talent to write. Cliff already did the heavy lifting. Just pick a matching scale, and run up and down the neck w/ it. E pentatonic phrygian in this case (and most).
Ohh the song is DEFINITELY effected when the bass isn't even present.It may seem like the bass isn't even present but thats because it's mainly a harmony instrument just like someone else said. Also too, cliff was more focused on mids and cutting through the mix instead of supporting with a more bass-ier tone. Therefore, it doesnt help Cliff's part that much.
