Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way (Bass Cover) (Play Along Tabs In Video) 

BECOME A PATRON TO GET SONGS/TABS: www.patreon.com/coversolutions Obviously a great line. I had no fresh strings while recording this, so the tone is not that bright as i wanted it to be. I had to raise some highs to compensate for it. For the main riff is very important to practice it slowly at first, getting the nuances. Controlling the resonance of the Low D string may be hard also, try using your RH thumb to mute when needed to. I'll wait for your questions on the comments. About harmony, the song is centered on the key of Dm, approaching more into F for the Chorus/Intro. The line itself uses lots of good inversions in the Chorus/Intro, then goes on with a riff centered on Dm7 and on the choruses mostly supports with the tonic with fills on the same key. You could say there's a Phrygian approach on the Eb played on the riff, but is very subtle. Other that that, it remains mostly diatonic: Dm Key (relative to F)(B's are flat) I Dm (D F A) or Dm7 (D F A C) for this case (extended harmony) II Edim (E G Bb) III F (F A C) IV Gm (G Bb D) V Am (A C E) VI Bb (Bb D F) VII C (C E G) I'm open for suggestions, corrections and whatever opinion no the comment section

0:47 that riff is insane

The transition at 3:00 is such an important turn around. The earlier segways are all pauses/dropout slow parts and the thrust just brings it all back it’s absolutely genius!!

Your bass always seems to have the perfect sound for every song

I just can't get over how funky this is. Especially at 2:36 it's just boss

Keep the RHCP coming!!!!!!

What a faithful bassplayer. You mimic various bass characters in different songs with just one bass. Cool.

This bass line is too good for human kind

And here's me thinking I could learn this by ear.

This is gonna be big.

This song is so much fun to play and you did a great job on the tabs, thanks!

Just wanna say thank you, for making this video clear and easy to read. From the tabs, and the tempo marching very well together 👏!

I’ve been a fan of this video for about 2 years, and like 2-3 weeks ago I finally got my first bass. Cort Action DLX V-as OPN The sole reason I bought a bass with 24 frets was just to be able to play this.

One of my all time favourite songs and basslines.

No olvidemos que esta banda tiene a uno de los mejores bajistas del mundo!! Sos un capo

It's about time you did this song, great moves, keep it up, proud of you.

Been waiting for this cover for a while. I think your tone still sounds great and goes along with the song really well, and your dynamics and use of strength is just brilliant.

love that bass, that line is hightest and lower in the same time

I hate rhcp cause it sounds so easy early then there is the breakdown where you have to put the video at 0.25X speed to understand what's going on :cccc

Keep the rhcp covers going! They are clearly your most successful

Yes! Thank you, I have trying to find a decent tutorial until my favorite bass tutorial channel, you, made this video! Thanks again!

Dude you shred on that bass 😯 ! Much Respect ! Thanks for all the lessons and thank you for sharing your gift.

When you just have a 20 frets bass...

Your videos are always top notch my man!

i bought the whole neck im gonna use the whole neck

Finally this song :-) awesome CoverSolutions

Imagine not being able to play this This post was made by the 23 frets gang

man i love to get high and listen to your covers, you are amazing (and when i not high i use them to learn) THANK YOU SIR

learned this bassline in a day thanks to this video, cheers coversolutions!!!

Ate agora esse foi o cover bass mas perfeito que ja assistir

Higher ground for the next!

This has got to be my favorite rhcp song.

this song is so good and the cover is so good

Hey, that's pretty good

I just said to myself last night that you should cover this song. Great job!

Awesome work as Always. Best bass Channel, man. Keep up the good work! Congratz

YES! I have been wanting you to do this song forever! Could you maybe try to do any more primus covers. No real preference I'd just love to see more primus covers

This is brilliant dude. Been waiting for this one. Great Job! :)

man that main riff is the bomb 👌

Thank you a lot brother, I've been waiting for this song.

Es sencillamente sensacional. No encuentro palabras para agradecertelo de verdad. Estoy impaciente por el cover de Goodbye Angels. Pero este cover realmente es fantastico. Muchas muchas gracias en verdad. c:

Love the tone. Rock on dude

Brilliant as always. No more to say.

I'm just amazed every time I watch your videos! You play the songs like there your own. each note perfectly played seemingly effortlessly!

Very good bass playing! Impressed sounds just like fle

Friggen awesome! Great cover!

Wooow 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Increíble trabajo maestro 👏🏻😍👏🏻😍👏🏻😍👏🏻😍

I’m going to be like everyone else...This is awesome, can you play “Girl Panic” by Duran Duran? Seriously, so impressed with your playing, and the way you put these videos together. Very helpful

this bass line is hard to cover... tone is so Important here ! Nice cover !!!!!! I love it

What an absolute beast

Bunisimo cover! tu gente ama rhcp, sigue asi, saludos

Your bass really has a great tone for active pick-ups!

Holly smoke, what an AWESOME cover!, keep it up!

we NEED higher ground tabs!!!! PLEASE

Can you please re-do Panic Station? (Great work as usual!)

thanks man! such fun to play

Goodbye angels-rhcp please

one of my fav rhcp songs and u bloody nailed it m8 keep it up

Such a good bass line i had to look it up. Thanks for posting this!

beautiful song

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 O Baixo pode SIM ser um Instrumento de Solo & de Harmônico Isso não só explorando notas agudas ou slaps Nessa Música fica muito bom o Baixo sendo Solo Por mais Solos de Baixo 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

99.9% correct. In the Dm7 interlude parts, in my opinion there are some ghost notes that you missed out. But that's it. Great cover and tone

thaks for doin your stuff man, I come to your vids a lot and theyre always super helpful!

Thank you SO much bass bro.

Flea has got to be my fave!

buen video, te pasaste

Awesome Man!

Great cover as always. Could you do Voyager by Daft Punk next?

So accurate! Nice one, Thankyou!

Great performance

I'm surprised that you haven't cover this before. Gj

awesome job!!

this is the correct tab thank you

Love how everyone's complaining about not being able to play this when you could just, y'know, shift up a string. $5 says flea probably played this on his J Bass or Musicman so that'd what he woulda been doing anyways

Bestial !!! 🤯💪🏼🙌🏼

The brilliance of Flea

I don't even have a bass

Te fuiste al carajo! Un genio total!!

This is sick nice work! 🤘🔥🎸

Factory of Faith pls?

Estaba esperando con ansias está gran canción 🎸

Just something worth noticing: in the tab you go all the way to the 22nd fret. But most basses (and including the most popular ones like Fender/Squier) only have 20 frets. I know it's probably the right note and it's how Flea played on the record but you should keep in mind that since most people only have 20 frets you should use different notes to people can follow the tab without wondering where to go. Obviously the 22nd D Fret (C) can be played on the 17th G Fret but not everyone (especially beginners) think of that quickly.

Gracias por tu trabajo

Excellent!!

Hermoso ❤ ¿El siguiente Goodbye Angels?😂

Exelente video, gracias

How the fuck did I forget about this bass lane. THIS IS HARD. Next song to learn!!

Well done, thanks.

Excelente video... felicitaciones por tu canal, like mas que merecido
