Hola! My name’s Elvis Gonzalez and I’m a bass player/multi-instrumentalist from Southern California. I do full album bass covers (...with tabs too ;P) of obscure/alternative artists for the fun of it!
I do this pro bono and would always appreciate any tips via BuyMeACoffee!: www.buymeacoffee.com/elvisgoestv
Otherwise, I do this regardless. I do make my own music for fun under Vespertine Dreams (still working on my sound, but it's coming together with each release): open.spotify.com/artist/3W9OMUpSksziBx1fFrK31O?si=yVQUrCWKQbOk7JgkYto5jA

Motörhead - Metropolis [Bass Cover]
Overkill is my top 10 albums of all time. I love how varied the songs are on the album and of course, Lemmy's bass playing. He's easily in my Top 10 bass players for innovation and tone.

David Bowie - Stay [Bass Cover]
Переглядів 16116 годин тому
This song is dear to me, although mixing this was a pain because of how high the bass is already mixed! I had to EQ some of the bass out of the track and there's still a few conflicts here and there when I improvise. Oh well! Here's Stay by David Bowie. Bass: MIM Jazz Bass Tone: SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver DI Archetype Cory Wong DAW: Logic Pro Focusrite 2i2

Song: Ace of Spades by Motörhead Bass : MIM Fender Jazz Bass (...don't murder me gear heads for not having a Rickenbacker). DAW: Logic Pro Tone: SansAmp Cory Wong VST I actively avoided doing covers of certain artists because of not having the right gear heh. Well...I don't care anymore! Here is Ace of Spades by Motörhead!
Bad Brains - Banned in D.C. [Bass Cover]
Переглядів 16314 днів тому
Man, I can't imagine hardcore punk without Bad Brains. These songs are really difficult on bass because of that tremolo picking. The adrenaline couldn't save me this time (unlike my full Damaged album cover, which will be uploaded once I get those tabs done). It's also great to be back. I broke my old way of doing things and have stuck to being consistent. It's worked best for me, plus I'm havi...
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime [Full Album Bass Cover] (w/Tabs)
Переглядів 9115 місяців тому
Over the years, I've had many requests for bass tabs for these songs and this is my way of saying thank you! I know different versions of DNOTD have different covers, but I excluded those since they weren't on every consistent release. Otherwise, I'm pretty confident about these tabs and guarantee they're a great starting point for learning these songs. I'm really proud of this and hope it can ...

Sorry for all the uploads, there's a purpose to this I promise. I normally don't upload this many at once but there's so many tracks and I'd be on this album forever if I did these slowly like I was doing. I want to move on to other artist's content (...and a full EP cover of Paranoid Time). I'll be making a poll soon to decide which album I should fully tab out next. I've got a few in mind, so...
Minutemen - Storm in My House [Bass Cover w/Tabs]
Переглядів 615 місяців тому
This track always felt out of place for me (not in a bad way) and I learned why! Henry Rollins actually wrote this one, which makes sense because of the angsty undertone this song has.
Minutemen - The World According to Nouns [Bass Cover w/Tabs]
Переглядів 815 місяців тому
This one is one of my favorite tracks on the album. I tabbed out what Mike Watt plays since I do it a little differently (I keep strumming the A and E notes while I play versus Mike Watt, who drones the A and E while playing the top notes). I improvised all over this as well, so this is once again a blueprint, especially since you can do so much with this one bass playing wise.
Minutemen - June 16th [Bass Cover]
Переглядів 675 місяців тому
Man, I missed out on the opportunity to post this on June 16th! It's okay though. I'm happy to have re-done this one since I slapped this on my original cover and it didn't work very well.

Minutemen - Themselves [Bass Cover w/Tabs]

I have nothing much to say except I really dig the weird chord tones Mike Watt does here and the 6/8 time signature (...I think? I know entry level music theory so I don't have that much of a foundation on rhythms).
Minutemen - Dr. Wu [Bass Cover w/Tabs]
Переглядів 1335 місяців тому
I remember when comments used to be allowed on artist's Topics UA-cam videos and seeing so Steely Dan fans shit on this cover. I think it's pretty charming and always loved the country influence Minutemen brought to this one. Bass playing wise, I improvised all over this one. You can copy what I do (which is a combo of what Mike Watt does and my own interpretations) or kind of play around with ...

I love how this song is subtly about being drafted. My previous cover wasn't that bad, and I recycled most of that bass tab into this one ^-^
Minutemen - Jesus and Tequila [Bass Cover w/Tabs]
Переглядів 1215 місяців тому
Fun fact: I used to not like this song very much until I learned how to play it, which was when it grew on me! I find it crazy how they managed to pull off a blues track and then shift it to a jangle-pop kind of style mid-track. Plus, D. Boon's satirical take on the "macho man" is super cool and clever as well (makes me wonder if these are quotes he heard at bars LOL).

One of my favorite Bowie songs! Great cover!
Good job!
I need to man up to Tear Ya Down soon! Been jamming on that for years. This sounds stellar and you’ve adopted the chordal playing of Lemmy very well.
Timing and finger work are impressive as always! 👍
Awesome!
Thank you!!
Nice work
Impeccable timing, nice work
Thank you!!
glad you're posting again. just the other day i was using your channel to teach a bandmate some minutemen stuff❤🔥
Dude I'm so honored!!! I'm glad the Minutemen videos have been helping ^-^, I've got a whole Black Flag Damaged tabs video coming out soon so stay tuned!
@@Elvis_Gonzalez i don't know how you're able to play along so tight with fast, sloppy songs with bad drummers- like bad brains or the stuff on damaged. i'm always getting lost. you rule
@@adriaticvenetians LOL I FEEL THAT!!!! The tempo is suuuppeerrr hard to get, especially with Black Flag (...especially with Black Flag LOL). Luckily I do everything through an interface, so I have the music right next to my ear. If it was a live recording off in front of a camera, I'd be completely off lol
awesome !
Thank you!!
Flawless man. I wish I could play chords like that haha.
Thank you!! My hand was cramping LOL
Phenomenal Elvis!! Played just like Daryl!!! Found you from looking for bad religion videos. Great cover
Hell yeah
Goood lord this is terrific. Good picking! Daryl Jennifer is hard to replicate.
fantastic as usual
I never though in my entire life that i would find something like this. a true masterpiece of an album. Thank you.
Fire man!!!!!!
smoooth, always been in love with this song and the memories i had with it. great cover
Amazing tutorial man! Im surprised you can read the tabs, they're really confusing lol
super clean - que chulo
🖤
Sweet, really cool. Such a great song and album!
great cover ! any chance you can do the bass on the song Flyin The Flannel?
WOW !!
AWESOME!!!
So coool! Love it
👌🏻👌🏻
Hi, do you think you'll ever cover the bass on the song "Flyin' The Flannel" from fIREHOSE?.
Wait how do you tune it?? I tuned it a half step up and it still soesnt sound right it sounds sharp or smth idk
Thank you for this awesome bass line. That's a bit insane :)
Insanely accurate. Do you have any tabs made?
Nice
dude your covers rule, i've been going through all your double nickels ones and they're all amazing. great job
Meravellós
In love
Fuckin incredible
are you for fucking real
Insane tone man! How on earth do you pull it off? Is that just how stingrays sound?
Incredible! Long time fan!
guys i found tabs for bass on the songsterr website!
Fucking killed it, dude! All bow to the God of the Thunderbroom!
Oh, as for that stretch, Watt may well have been playing short scale bass at this time (the blue EB-3). I'm learning it on my own Gibson right now, so we shall see if it's any easier when I get to the end. Just a thought . . . always good to talk Watt with another for real fan.
Awesome song to play. Have always enjoyed it. Now can add the hammer-on after seeing your excellent tab. And maybe I'lll even learn the outro finally. Been meaning to do that for well more than a decade now. Anyway . . . thanks for taking the time to make this. And that Jazz bass sounds great in your hands. Any chance of "Sh*t You Hear at Parties"?
hi elvis, what kind of fuzz are u using in these songs ? it sounds really good for this fast notes
TV Party by Black Flag could be the Punkiest bass line of all time.
You fuckin killed it man
This is great dude, did you learn it by ear or do you have a tab that you could share?
Such a great bassline
Great tone 🤘
Very zawsome
standard tuning?
Probalo y fijate
