No joke, my friend who plays guitar wants to buy a 6-string bass right off the bat, all he does is try slapping and sounding like a hot mess. Its funny, but hey, I want that 6-string too.
Garrett Hudson I'm that guy. I just use the E string, maybe A and this is on the conventional 4-string. On drums, the one I'm good at, I am like a Gemini, highly adaptable to whatever is playing. Although with straight jamming, I always go for speed and craziness.
Hahaha, it sounded great! The line you did for Webster and the fretless really did sound like a death metal riff, and funnily enough even the first few notes for the "Don't fret a thing...And don't practice either!" actually sounded like the type of stuff technical metal bands' bass players would do hehe!
Martyr of Grenth Hahah yeah, I heard that from another dude as well! Pretty pleased with the riff, tbh! It was a bit tricky, but turned out pretty cool imho :)
Mr. Pooper I agree!! But I have to say.. it helps if the rest of the band also use microtonal instruments :P A super flat third can cause immense tension within the harmony.. but the "Don't Fret a Thing and Don't practice"-guy doesn't know that. He just plain sucks. ;) :)
Hahah! Awesome!! :D Yeah, I wish I played more on that damn thing.. I love the sound of it - and the fretless I have is actually pretty nice to play.. maybe I should work on that.. :)
I've seen a bunch of these "X types of Y musician", and yours are the first that were actually good. Though you did miss the, "Breaks strings at least once a week because he plucks so hard."
That Blomqvist lick would be great for the Quick Lick Series :D I really dig his playing style, but I think he is often very underrated in the bass world...
Aexilius Tbh, the only alternate tunings that I use are drop A and drop D. It comes from not being able to tune in half steps with my old tuner when I got started - and tuning to Eb just makes me feel a bit nauseous for some reason :P
Erik Arkö I basically had to look up the frequencies to get the right tuning with my old tuner :p. Right now I use A# standard for atmospheric black metal and if I want to play some more melodic stuff I use an alternate tuning which is f C G D C It somehow works for me :)
No joke at the "Don't fret a thing... and don't practice either" one I somehow got reminded of DiGiorgo's playing on Death's Individual Thought Patterns.. I feel guilty now :(
It seems obvious when you say it. I had a little idea (especially for Limelight), but I wanted to check. Thanks for your answer, and long live Rush! :)
slappy Mc slap slap. -plays in tech death band -does nothing but slap horrifyly complex lines -covers songs and slaps the whole thing -see Davie 504 for prime example (though he's not metal) right hand exercise -tech death band -plays at 300 bpm -solos. -whole band is built around him. -long hair -Sweeps - 6-7 string and uses all -FINGERS ONLY -see obscura, beyond creation, and nile
Well, it all depands on what kind of bass. Something like Slayer or Metallica really isn't that hard but when you're starting to do shit like rush or more technical stuff it can get kinda tricky. But practice is always the answer
It's my Woodo B6 Black Walnut w. Lundgren Custom Pickups and an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp. It's a great bass, but I don't use it THAT much as it weighs quite a bit. Guess I need to work on my core strength :)
It's an American Deluxe Precision Bass V from 2005. The color is called "Montego Black" and originally featured a gold pick guard (and there are small "gold flakes" in the black, which you have to be really close to the bass to see.) Unfortunately it's a discontinued model - which is a real shame, because it's KILLER!
+Erik Arkö The most beautiful Pbass i've ever seen for sure... Your Uncle is a Lucky man However, Thank you for Answering me Your videos are really cool !
I have 6 string bass with which I play chords and I pick with my fingers at the 12th fret. What am I exactly ? A misplaced guitar player ?
Nah. You're just unconventional ;) :)
You are the bass player who has not yet found out that he needs to buy a guitar
"I wanted to be the guitarist"
You're that bass player the is always in need to say how good you are. A.K.A Stupid Guitar Player
Flexprog Versatile
Crap. Nailed me with the "Over-compensator/Tone is in the gear" one. I can't even be mad.
Garrett Hudson hahaha :D

Somewhere between Doomlord and The Geddfather. Cause you know my 2 fav bands are Rush and Sleep.
Kerem Kaan Haha! Nice! :)
We should be friends
Didn't think you'll put my comment in there hahahahaha!
Fretless in metal is love, fretless in metal is life.
Martyr of Grenth Hope you're happy with my efforts on fretless death metal ;)
Hahaha, it sounded great!
The line you did for Webster and the fretless really did sound like a death metal riff, and funnily enough even the first few notes for the "Don't fret a thing...And don't practice either!" actually sounded like the type of stuff technical metal bands' bass players would do hehe!
Martyr of Grenth Hahah yeah, I heard that from another dude as well! Pretty pleased with the riff, tbh! It was a bit tricky, but turned out pretty cool imho :)
Generally, it's important for every musician to know about microtonality! Bigger frequency palette is useful.
Mr. Pooper I agree!! But I have to say.. it helps if the rest of the band also use microtonal instruments :P A super flat third can cause immense tension within the harmony.. but the "Don't Fret a Thing and Don't practice"-guy doesn't know that. He just plain sucks. ;) :)
The Geddfather was great lmao. You earned a sub dude
Joseph Bastidas Thanks bro!! :)
Most complex doom line I've heard in my life.
He probably went to college before the shrooms kicked in... ;)
Honestly, coming from a doom bass player, most of sleeps bass lines are hard as hell and cover up for the slow guitars
Nice that you added Andreas Blomqvist, underrated bassist!
2scrimble9 He's an amazing player and a GREAT guy as well :)
Indeed, Mercy Falls is one of the best prog albums of the century imo, so good songwriting :D
2scrimble9 Agreed!! :)
I only dream of being the Geddlord, Rush songs kill me. I can play most of the way through them, then the solos hit and I lose it all
I loved the 6 string one, as an exclusive 6 player, I gotta say I kinda get that whole stigma. Aint even mad
Yeah, sadly they/we do. People are damn conservative when it comes to musical instruments..
Loved both parts. Thanks!
Love you included Andreas! He's an absolute beast! :D
Here sure is!!
Don’t fret a thing…but why does he look so cool doing it! I could never look as cool as this guy.
It’s the wig. It’s always the wig.
Lemmy for me. He is the one that drew me to the bass in the first place.
This is some quality fkin shit right here 👌🔥💯 subbed
Haha, great stuff! Liking the Rule #2 reference ;)
Jbf Music Lessons Thanks bro!! :)
No problem dude, praise where it's due 👌
didn't expect seventh wonder, but this guy is a hero :D
Miky Mike Haha Thanks!! :D
lol i think im in between the thrasher , the alex webster and the heavy metal maniac from the first vid, pretty great vids!
1:27 this may be referring to guitarists but:
Steve Vai and Whitesnake
or
Richie Kotzen and Poison
Sashin Gopaul Agreed! :)
Don't fret a thing has to be the coolest thing I've ever seen and heard
Thanks!!
The funniest one is the over qualified one lmaooo
😁😁😁
Instant Sub! As a bass player who use fretless almost in every genre and music i agreed with "go fretless or go home" 😂😂
Hahah! Awesome!! :D
Yeah, I wish I played more on that damn thing.. I love the sound of it - and the fretless I have is actually pretty nice to play.. maybe I should work on that.. :)
Geddfather + Overcompensator safed this crappy Monday. Thanks dude!
Happy to be of service!!
The doom lord's bass sounds sweet!
Arthur Viana Lopes Thanks! I didn't have a fuzz at the time, so I used the EBS Billy Sheehan drive and the Darkglass B3k together ;)
Funny. Thanks. I needed that.
🙌🙌🙌
I've seen a bunch of these "X types of Y musician", and yours are the first that were actually good. Though you did miss the, "Breaks strings at least once a week because he plucks so hard."
Rob Schroeder Thank You so much :) Yeah, I guess I should start preparing a part III :)
1:23 John entwistle
That Blomqvist lick would be great for the Quick Lick Series :D I really dig his playing style, but I think he is often very underrated in the bass world...
I MIGHT have planned on using it, actually ;) :) And I agree! Andreas is awesome!!
love it
Jonah Fuerstenberg Awesome!! :)
I may be suffering from the Lemmy a bit.
nice dude
gained a sub my friend, nice work
Victor Thank You so much!!! :D
part 2 was even better than part 1! great job
Francisco Legón Thanks man!!
I'm practising to be a Seventh wonder, but I use a shit load of alternate tunings :p (And perhaps a bit of Trve Kvlt as well)
Aexilius Tbh, the only alternate tunings that I use are drop A and drop D. It comes from not being able to tune in half steps with my old tuner when I got started - and tuning to Eb just makes me feel a bit nauseous for some reason :P
Erik Arkö I basically had to look up the frequencies to get the right tuning with my old tuner :p. Right now I use A# standard for atmospheric black metal and if I want to play some more melodic stuff I use an alternate tuning which is
f
C
G
D
C
It somehow works for me :)
Aexilius Whatever floats your boat, bro :)
What was the song u were playing in Andreas blomquist one......is that his solo or work with seventh wonder
It was my own, shameless tribute to the solo in “Walking Tall” :)
Rule number 2 applies to me
Mike Ze Fire up the metronome! ;) :)
Man he really bought some Rotosound 88 Tapewounds.
Not a Homosexual Yup! They’re great on the Fretless! :)
Whats The bass at 0:22? Youre cool bass player, keep IT up🙏🙏❤️❤️👏👏👍👏
Thanks!! It’s a Woodo Guitars B5X Tiger Maple Fretless (or if it’s BX5... can’t remember 😅)
@@erikarko how about The strings on that fretless? I was planning to buy them but i dont know The name😁🤔
@@jannetoropainen9865 Rotosound Tru Bass 88! :)
@@erikarko thank you 🙏❤️
LOL I fall into 2 of these "Doom Lord" and "The Thrasher"
Awesome!! :D
doom lord is a reference to Black Sabbath
geezer butler
DamQueb Official Yup. And a bird called Domherre! ;)
No it’s actually to Al Cisneros, of sleep/Om/Shrinebuilder
No joke at the "Don't fret a thing... and don't practice either" one I somehow got reminded of DiGiorgo's playing on Death's Individual Thought Patterns.. I feel guilty now :(
Mr. Revolution Haha! Don't worry - the feeling will go away ;) :)
Also sick vid
The Thrasher is Frank Bello
William Kaloczy Yup!!
@@erikarko I thought it was Cliff Burton
The GEDDFATHER one killed me xDDD
Bayu Abhiyoga Hahah great to make you laugh :D
Hey! What songs inspired you to make the Geddfather? Really great video!
Philippe Romeuf Thanks! It's a mix of "Limelight" and "Tom Sawyer", actually :)
It seems obvious when you say it. I had a little idea (especially for Limelight), but I wanted to check. Thanks for your answer, and long live Rush! :)
Philippe Romeuf No worries, bro! :)
you have quoted jared dines AND glenn fricker. i approve.
Thanks!! :)
I was waiting for the "John Myung", your vids Rock!
Pietro Wawo Jared Dines did Myung in a video a while back.. but maybe I'll do him in a part III ;) Thanks btw!! Means a lot!!
Tooo sick man
Thanks!
Doom Lord needs a black and green outfit and a more guitarish tone.
girhen Haha yeah, probably. But he fell asleep, so he couldn't tweak his tone any further! ;)
Dat tone. Dat Sweep
Ya'akov Layos Thanks bro! :)
"Right man for wrong place" is SO Bill Laswell
Worldbender Hahaha! :D
lol I think YOU, Jared Dines and Rob Scallion should form a humour band altogether!! Would be great!! :D
Just a thought xD
Ryne Agheilim Haha yeah, that'd be cool! Go tell them! ;) :)
0:53 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm oddly reminds me of geddy lee
Slanthradethallica How right you are! ;)
slappy Mc slap slap.
-plays in tech death band
-does nothing but slap
horrifyly complex lines
-covers songs and slaps the whole thing
-see Davie 504 for prime example (though he's not metal)
right hand exercise
-tech death band
-plays at 300 bpm
-solos.
-whole band is built around him.
-long hair
-Sweeps
- 6-7 string and uses all
-FINGERS ONLY
-see obscura, beyond creation, and nile
mysticblaz e Guess I'll better start saving up for the fretless seven string then ;) :) Cool ideas!
I'm more of a Ellefson/ Justin Chancellor type. Nice Groove, Nice Guy, but crazy frontmen.
I'm a combination between te alex webster, the metal master fingers only and the geddy lee.
TheGamingMetalhead A good combo to be!! ;) :)
Very much. I am a singing alex webster (although not that good) but still.
TheGamingMetalhead Singing and playing bass is always hard! :)
Well, it all depands on what kind of bass. Something like Slayer or Metallica really isn't that hard but when you're starting to do shit like rush or more technical stuff it can get kinda tricky. But practice is always the answer
TheGamingMetalhead Indeed. It always is. :)
It's actually quite a sad predicament being the overqualified one.
Yup. But then again, what doesn't kill... :)
Mega like, mega subscribe, mega everything!!! XD
Ulises Barrera Mega Thanks!! :D
I like the Glen Cricket reference
Haha that was a purely unintentional reference :)
Erik Arkö I meant Fricker*! Great job anyway
Ah! That WAS intentional!! :)
Erik Arkö Auto correct
PART 3!!!!!!!
Fadhil Nugraha There seems to be a demand for that, yes. I guess I'd better start writing ;)
Yas! Been waiting for this, oh and btw what's that six?
It's my Woodo B6 Black Walnut w. Lundgren Custom Pickups and an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp. It's a great bass, but I don't use it THAT much as it weighs quite a bit. Guess I need to work on my core strength :)
Oh right nice one! Looks great :) trying to convince myself to try a 6 string but can't justify the price and weight 😂
It's a nice thing to have! Great when you feel like playing chords etc. :)
I'm the over-compensator by far.
Toasty Haha! I’ve been guilty of that as well :D
Yep. I bought a Bongo 6 for a rock band once.
EPIC!
Magnus Hedlund :D
The Andreas Blomqvist got me like 😍
🙌🙌🙌
I watch for the A.K.A. comments as much as the bass playing
:D
Geddy Lee and John Entwistle 👏
🤘🤘🤘🤘
As a bass player I totally agree
0:29 That's always me in any instrument
Rafael Valle Better crank up that metronome then! ;)
the geddfather
Juan Manuel Geddy
make types of guitarist or part ||| for bass
"GET THIS MAN A NECK BRACE!!!"
Me: Nah, leave him in a neck brace because it looks like your face is being melted my good sir.
K McAlpine Face melting is a dangerous thing :P :)
Both the Doom Lord and the comment that originated are simply Al Cisneros
Guy who just wants to groove 😂
The Gaming Noobs It ain't easy being that guy ;)
I found this one to be better!
Fanki Pants Thanks!! :)
Haha den sista va jag ju!
Iffe War Hahaha!! Härligt!! :D
I play more Lemmys style with a thrash hardcore punk crossover. No headbang though, dont need the scoliosis
Wooden Tombstone Totally understandable. I don't have the hair, so I usually don't headbang that much myself ;)
Erik Arkö Haha, ironically Im in the current process of growing my hair out long. My childhood that inspired me to do so again.
R.I.P LEMMY
Wooden Tombstone Awesome! Myself, I've given up on the idea :)
Totally hilarious !!!!
Thank You so much! Glad You liked it!! :)
"Sweep 'em off their feet" \m/
Cornelis Mollberger Only way to do it ;)
I am the "lemmy" 🤣🤣
Haha. I have a 5 and don't use the low B much.
I'm the doom lord
Fr0d0Fr4gg1n5 Haha awesome! :)
Erik Arkö ayyyy
the guy who wants to just groove is so me lol!
Flavio Diaz Yeah, I've been guilty of that many times as well :)
you forgot the Cliff burton! you know, tons of distortion and wah, along with regular tuning and insanely fast picking!
I'm working on it ;) :)
wicked🤘
What were the strings that you had on the fretless bass?
Thanks bud. :)
No worries! :)
ahah you cool mate!
Andrypugg Music Channel Thanks!! :)
I'm "the guitarist who wants to be bassist"
(use only my fingers, use the biggest strings I can found, tuned in BEADF#b....)
I'll tell them if you don't mind :D Haha!! xD
Ryne Agheilim Hahah, go ahead! :)
Haha nice! Är du av någon chans svensk?
TTNWGaming Tack!! Jajamen! :)
🤣🤣🤣 love it
🙌🙌🙌🙌
love the rule #2. Glenn Fricker will become a meme beyond musicians at some point...hopefully
Doomlord here lol 😂
*MojoPenguin* Hahah! Awesome!!
Same lol
Same!
is there already a band called doomlord ....cause if not....
Google it ;)
Pretty much attacked me with both the overcompensater and the thrasher
If it makes you feel any better, I feel attacked by pretty much all of them :D
WOW Anyone knows the name of the Black 6-string? :D
It's a Woodo B6 Black Walnut w. Lundgren Pickups and an Aguilar OBP-3 Preamp
You got Geezer down pat for Doomlord
Down pat?
Erik Arkö en.wiktionary.org/wiki/down_pat
Ah! Thanks!! :D
Erik Arkö it is kind of an obscure expression. I guess.
Really enjoyed the video
the doom and thrash was very funnynthe other was great too
Simon Boudreault Thanks!! :)
You welcome !!
I am definitely the overcompensator lol
Gabemando Haha! I've been there myself.. and I still get there from time to time... it ain't easy when you love gear :P :D
What kind of Precision is That? I really love the body colour, but i can't find a P Bass like that anywhere...
It's an American Deluxe Precision Bass V from 2005. The color is called "Montego Black" and originally featured a gold pick guard (and there are small "gold flakes" in the black, which you have to be really close to the bass to see.) Unfortunately it's a discontinued model - which is a real shame, because it's KILLER!
+Erik Arkö I was talking about the one the "Doom Lord" used
Haha Ok! It's a stripped down 1963 P Bass that belongs to my uncle. It has seen A LOT of wear and tear :)
+Erik Arkö The most beautiful Pbass i've ever seen for sure...
Your Uncle is a Lucky man
However, Thank you for Answering me
Your videos are really cool !
Yeah, it's a beauty! :)
No worries! Thank for commenting! :)
I'm: Don't fret a thing and the: The overcompensator!!!
XxDustinxX ! So... a seven string fretless? :D
Sorry for my bad english!!!
I play an fretless Bass and I'm play an 6 String bass
Awesome! :)
What fretless bass is that?
It’s a Woodo Guitars B5X Tiger Maple :)
The thrasher is me as fuck
Lord Brandon Cross He's a good style to have ;)
the sleeper 10/10
Paul Lechuga Awesome!! :)
