      I'm pretty sure you need a pick for a tone that has enough of attack to sift through the heavy guitars and drums.

      Sorry about my comment, but that doesn't happen in death metal music I guess? Too much technique often disappears. Perhaps this is why metalcore and even thrash metal do exist.
      The main problem is to accept the idea on learning how to listen, makes no sense when technique can't be appreciated anyway.

    as an ex bass player i always have to chuckle if i see some of this bass fretboard wizardry and the effort vs yield.
    you put up 1000's of hours to learn and maintain this stuff and live (or even in the rehearsal room), albeit it still looks impressive, nobody hears a single thing of all this. it's like training to run faster than Husein Bolt but you only ever do it in some remote part of the woods completely alone without anybody ever witnessing it.

    • @samchatt
      @samchatt  3 роки тому +1

      Well, I used to play this song live on tour. The song is also available for you to listen to. So to say no one would hear it isn't correct.

    • @hazardeur
      @hazardeur 3 роки тому +2

      @@samchatt i was referring of course to live and rehearsal. and in those situations nobody is gonna hear this in 99% of the cases. Maybe if you have a pro audio line and a dedicated mix guy that's a total pro with this kind of music/mixing but even then it's rare. Especially if you have a band with 2 guitar players. I don't like it the way it is either but that's just how it is

    • @samchatt
      @samchatt  3 роки тому +2

      @@hazardeur It's not that difficult to achieve a bass tone that cuts through the mix in death metal with 2 guitar players. You just need to know what you are doing to get the tone.
      I've had a lot of comments from people watching regarding the sweep parts and extra bass fills I add to enhance the songs. I think in modern metal/rock the bass player is expected to do more than just follow the root notes of guitars now. You're entitled to your opinion but If you think there's no point in trying to push the boundaries of being a musician because no one will hear it..that's your problem. I don't have that issue.

      I have to agree. It would sound better if you could actually hear what you are playing, it just sounds muffled in wi the rest of the band. Don't be offended take it as constructive criticism, either play some isolated bass or turn the volume up so you stand out more. The effort you are putting in isn't appreciated enough obviously

    • @samchatt
      @samchatt  4 роки тому +57

      Hi, I followed the root note of the guitar riff to start with. Then I went with a minor third and diminished 5th intervals for the rest of the arpeggio. To try and make it sound evil.

In fact he is/was an introverted guy with a lonely childhood who started playing music as a hobby and gained some recognition and confidence through his channel. That "narcissitic" behaviour is for the purposes of the channel, if you look at some of his videos you can clearly tell that he is an anxious and shy guy, especially in the older videos.

    I'd really be interested to hear this on its own. Judging from the other comments, I'd guess most viewers are watching on their cell phones, which, having tiny speakers, output a lot more treble than bass, so it's largely downed out, especially by that crash.
