Quarantine Bass Tutorial | MUTEMATH | How to Play Bass 

It is time.. time to bring mutemath back. It hurts you guys are apart.

Hey Roy. Just wanted to say Mutemath has been my favourite band ever since the first record. I started playing bass soon after and you have been a huge influence over the years. Thank you so much for these videos! Any chance of Mutemath having a reunion?? I think my heart died a little when you guys broke up haha

That “aww yeah” gets me every time lol

Muremath is litterly one of most underrated bands of all time! self titled and odd soul are like top 20 albums for me it’s a shame they don’t have more popularity keep it up with the good tutorials!

@roy this breakdown is fantastic. I would love to see a full decomposition of Odd Soul in it’s entirety. Any plans on adding more tutorials?

Odd Soul is literally my favorite albums of all-time. These instrumental breakdowns just reinforce my belief that mutemath always played the most ridiculously complex music of our time. Thanks for all you do, brother. Looking forward to me of these.

Mutemath carried me out of high school and into undergrad hardcore. Odd Soul is still reigns king as one of my most played albums. Thank you so much for sharing some of your experience and cracking the window a little wider into your process during this time. Cheers and thanks for all the memories and amazing concerts from a still frozen Minnesota.

You insire me man, thank u. I was looking for the tab for this song and you made a entire video, thank u again.

The lyrics fit perfect on today's days.... love your deep bass punch!!!

Hey! I just wamted to say, MuteMath has been a huge inspiration in my own band! Quarantine is one of my favorite songs, and seeing you guys perform live made me want to start my band. Seeing you guys play Cains Ballroom was amazing. You should do a video on Clipping or Stare At The Sun!

I just came across your videos. Great lessons and insight into the entire creative process. As a longtime MuteMath fan, thanks for putting these together!

I'm digging the insight into the stories and mechanics behind some of my favorite songs, please keep'em coming!

When I discovered this Channel I nearly Cried!!! 😂🤘One of the most Original , Musically Brilliant , Genre smashing Bands of the past 10 years . Never had chance to see Mutemath tour in the U.K but Mutemath , Odd Soul , Armistice and Vitals are always on the Weekly playlist 🤘 Keep up the Good work Roy !!! Ash from The U.K 🇬🇧

Roy, these videos are really good. It's nice to get the inside perspective on the band's creative process, how you approach bass playing in general, influences, etc. It shows that you really are a music lover and dedicated to your instrument. Plus the bass parts are really cool, of course.

Ive read somewhere that all members of Mutemath started out in their music career as drummers (or at least all could play the drums)

I completed tabbing this song literally two days before you posted this! That outro did leave me wondering; I thought I’d counted 20 or 21 bass notes in four measures, but I wasn’t quite sure. Thanks for this! Mutemath is pretty much my all-time favorite band, Odd Soul is one of my favorite albums, and “Quarantine” is my favorite song off the album. I echo the calls for reunion. Paul Meany is extremely talented, without a doubt, but having you and DK there was a force multiplier; Mutemath is greater than the sum of its parts.

Roy ripping on the drums i shouldve known!!! Love this series man. You guys really drove my passion for music to the next level like 11 years ago. So thanks for that one! Hope all is well with you and the family!

Hey Roy, thanks so much for this video! Not so much for the bass tutorial (I'm a drummer) but for the background and influences of the Odd Soul album. Odd Soul is my favourite album of any band for two main reasons: 1) I loved the sound of the dirty bass/guitar riffs combined with the organ 2) I loved the high energy drumming I have been trying to find another band that's had a similar sound with little success, so thanks for listing some of those 60s-70s bands; I've had a listen and already think they're great. I'd love to hear of any other bands you think sound similar to the Odd Soul album. I look forward to following you, Paul and Darren as you all take your separate paths, as you have for 3 years (that went really quickly), and hope you all converge at some point in the future again. Cheers!

Mutemath has some of the nastiest basslines! So funky

This is hands down my favorite Mutemath song... First tune I listened to Odd Soul, this one in particular totally blew me away. My favorite song from my favorite album by my favorite band ❤️

Odd Soul and Flesh and Bones Electric Fun are my two favorite of your albums. Just... holy crap. And I would love to see you all get back together. Though as a husband and father, I definitely understand why you and Darren left. Because obviously that's the first priority 👍

Keep it up with these videos. Very informative stuff!! Really appreciate you taking the time to do this for all us fans.

Odd Soul is so amazing and underrated. You’re a legend Roy, thanks for these videos!

The first album is my favourite. It's got a special place in my heart. I consider it a masterpiece. Odd Soul, tough, is an outstanding album and I really like the beginning of the video when you gave us some background.

Thanks for continuing to create these. I appreciate to insight in to the recording history. Mutemath has been a big influence on why I play guitar today.

Man, I'm loving these retro plays! Since you mentioned Earthsuit, could we ever expect to see some, say, "Wheel"? Also, on Play Dead I thought you did a marvelous job culminating the tones from previous albums while managing to keep everything fresh, creative, and inspired - especially on tracks like "Pixie Oaks" or "War". Great, great stuff.

I love these videos. Keep making them. I hope you and your family are doing well. I miss you guys.

Quarantine is a beautiful work of art❤️

Roy, thank you so much for this videos! Mutemath is one of my favorite bands, and your music gives me energy and inspiration almost every day. Your talent and creativity are truly amazing!

One of my favorite songs on this album! Even though it something like 7 mins + I always feel the need to listen to it again right after 😂

Thank you so much for this! You're the reason I got into bass and while I'm still learning, I love having these videos to try and learn from. Keep it up Roy!
