so lame how everyone is just complaining about the choice of songs, when the best music is always subjective. i appreciate that this list has some songs you dont usually see in videos like this. and you edit like someone with 200k subs, not 20k. i think you'll get there and improve your video making skills on the way.
0:54 come together 1:27 higher ground 2:35 beat it 3:05 come as you are 3:33 feel good inc. 4:02 dawn patrol 5:05 no one knows 6:57 money 7:51 longview 9:25 sunshine of your love 10:00 the god that failed
I actually did start with a few of these back in the day just starting out and getting skills up. Began early on with punk - then moved through classic rock, onto progressive, then stuck to power/prog... along the way, started to just run scales, focusing on note articulation and speed, then found more exotic scales, and some theory... then learned to mix it up, see "patterns and shapes" as I ran various modes... then that laid the foundations to really "shred" on bass, since I'm of that style mostly when I play... decided I liked descending and ascending strings, so I went up to 6 string over the years... but for bassists that seem to have complete mastery over every aspect I think Mr. Franck Hermanny is probably as good as it gets, without much doubt. That's what I practiced learning to aspire towards as I got pretty good, then once I mastered all the bass stuff from the "so-called legends" out there, there wasn't a lot left to pursue. Hope you like my dumb story - illness slowed me down in the end, but I had fun, and still do jam a bit here and there... Anyway, no doubt he could cover about everything, while almost nobody could cover anything he plays that's of his own original making. I don't believe any of the "greats" can do this kinda stuff... sadly. But that's how music goes at every position and band - the most skilled are not really noticed, but the "top guys" in the public are far from the best out there.

@@rudolphdrasler2697 - Generally jazz bassists (I consider Jaco as jazz musician) are underrepresented in this list, although many jazz bassists outperform rock bassists.
Tip: For the Come Together riff keep your index finger on the A string and slide all the way up to the 15th fret, at which point play F on the D string 15th fret then D on the A string 17th fret with a little hammer on. Sounds way better ;) Do the same on the E string for the A, slide all the way up to 15th fret then hit the C 15th fret A string and pull bend it to a C# Brings it to life! No need to thank me :)
Came here to make sure Flea got something in the list lol. Good video, you might be able to get more traffic to this if you put the songs in the description!
This list would be much better called "A random selection of songs that have bass guitar in them, including a couple that are somewhat cool sounding, but are all great for that 1st year self-taught bass player to utilize as he becomes a bit less newby, but are fun-ish to play." Nothing here is top 20 anything, except pop chart standings, except for a couple maybe. Imho
Surprised no to see here Motorhead, Black Sabbath or iron maiden, in fact, don't believe a word, N. I. B. And powerslave. It will be nice to see it with the tabs in next videos
Perfectly done tutorial, will recommend this to my friends who are wanting to learn a bunch of songs on bass, Thank you for a super clean, helpful and straight to the point tutorial.
Great songs for a novice bass player. Variety is always good. Sure, i could think if a thousand more complex bass lines but i like your choice of songs here. Cleanly played.
for me the best bass lines are: - come together- the beatles - weapons of brixton- the clash feel good inc-gorillaz lounge act-nirvana I can't stop- hot red peppers the soldier - iron maiden kiling in the name of- rage aginst the machine
it is fantastic, i play on hearing and would like to learn to read notes, i am 55 years old and read letters when i play, such a method i was constantly looking for, became very happy when i looked at your channel, you make me really happy thanks, i want to read salsa how can i do this, i mean as you show is there any app or so you are amazing
for me the best bass lines are: - come together- the beatles - weapons of brixton- the clash feel good inc-gorillaz lounge act-nirvana I can't stop- hot red peppers the trooper - iron maiden Súper freak _ Rick James Rondabout _ Yes kiling in the name of- rage aginst the machine
Great bass lines. Ignore the people* that do not do but always find they should criticize people who actually DO. Thanks for posting. *Edit because I used a poor choice of words that wasn't very nice.
For Metallica I would say Orion or Pulli g teeth, as for Megadeth Peace Sells is their greatest bass line; although Dawn patrol I s criminally underrated as a song on the Rust in Peace Album.
Hi, Nice job! What model is the bass? A Deluxe PJ or Deluxe Precision? Or are they the same thing? ALSO - what pickups are in the bass? Thank you in advance!
really nice video for beginners. some decent songs when it comes to best songs of all time. i think the title confused people a little bit here. maybe should have our something like: *my top 20 favorite bass lines* or *top 20 popular and easy bass lines*
Well im pretty sure it mean most well known bass line since i knew most of these and im not much into rock or bass lines from rocks artist aside from rhcp
@@philipmathew6239 for me the best bass lines are: - come together- the beatles - weapons of brixton- the clash feel good inc-gorillaz lounge act-nirvana I can't stop- hot red peppers the soldier - iron maiden kiling in the name of- rage aginst the machine
to be honest guitarist don't know how much pain us bassist have to go through like wth they have these weird guitar solos that no ones like xd, and then we have the super chill and cool rifts so thank you i appreciate it :)
Bass players natorious for not changing strings am i right. Also i play bass and evem with 5 sets of string for my 4 string bass and 3 for my six string bass am reluctant to change em.
Thanks for the lines. Excellent job, even when I don't like some of them. Very good practice of different styles. If you ever post a third edition, I would like to see some more Steve Harris and Roger Glover - Liked and subscribed!
Well you must try some song of early Duran Duran "Girls on Film", "Rio", "New Religion", "Notorious" o "Vertigo", really a good bassist. Try to listen Police, Level42, and the album "Sports" or "Fore" by Huey Lewis.. but are really many other..
@@KardboardKenny I translated your comment with DeepL into German but cannot understand what you want to day. I just want to learn what people think is special about this Bassline. I didn’t recognise why it is special. Help appreciated. Comments only in German.
@@KardboardKennynow I got it. :D i am 53 years old and I know the song. I don’t understand why it is in the the 20 baselines. To me it is a standard blues Bassline with nothing special. And on top it is not even a Bassline. It must be Organ because the Doors didn’t have a bass player. To my opinion not the best choice for this Top 20 ranking.
I was going to be all snooty and say that The Doors didn’t even have a bassist, but I looked it up and Lonnie Mack did in fact join the group as a guest musician to play bass on the recording of this particular track. I’m glad I looked it up before I was an asshole to you.
Yeah, The Doors played live without a bassist (other than Ray on keyboard bass)...but they had session bassists on pretty much all their studio albums.
Gotta say something here. First of all, very good job of making a tutorial, borders perfection ! However, your choices are at least .. uhm... debatable. You mention Another bites the dust, but not Chic's rhythm "Good Times", where Queen and a lot of others got their inspiration from. Most songs are base players from Rock music, and playing bass with a plectrum is using the bass as an extension of the rhythm guitar. I think what makes up memorable bass lines is the ones where they actually carry the song. Where it's not just melody, but amplifies the pure rhythm, like extending the drums. And then you have to mention funk music ! I can't even start to make a list of them, and not just the Chili peppers. What about Jamaican reggae ? Aston Barrett ? No ? I guess , in the end, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Great feel. Thankyou. SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE. Yes! Maybe you could include Manic Depression, Gimme some Lovin , Hey Bulldog and and Smoke on the Water if you do another list? Cheers
A ton of good Motown needs at least some honorable mention. And The Police needs to be here, too. I can't imagine truly narrowing it down to twenty and not leaving out so much good stuff.
@@tonyjlorns1727 You're so right. That's basically what I'm saying. No one could narrow any list like this down to 20 and not leave out so many picks that are precious not only to the viewers, but to themselves, as well. :)
Sir, thank you for your quick response, stumbled across your vids and they are nice. I am still learning the bass and trying to learn the effects side of it and also how to use computer programs to challenge the outcome of my playing. Thanks good job.

You probably listen to Nickleback and coldplay
Phones ringing Dude....
Definitely not my choices for bass lines of all time.
It's always subjective.
@@fabiojovanovich is it? There's no Jaco... Jaco was objectively the best fretless bass player of all time.
I think he went with te "basic but still great" lines

Pedroleum100 Nobody outperforms Geddy Lee and Les Claypool. NOBODY!

Shut up, just enjoy
Just picked up a bass after 20 years of guitar. Fun stuff
Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" MUST be on here.
today it's a dream for me to play like you! Thanks a lot, i'm very impressed by your slap & speed
Yikes! This was a good list for cool songs for beginners, but a horrendous list for best of all time.
it wasn't a list for BEST technically, just good

kkk yep. Agree

Some unexpected choices.
Surprised no to see here Motorhead, Black Sabbath or iron maiden, in fact, don't believe a word, N. I. B. And powerslave. It will be nice to see it with the tabs in next videos
Titanic work, thanks! I appreciate your videos, especially about bass.
Thank you!
nice work
One of the best bass lines was done by the bassist for Lou Reed on Walk on the wild side. I never get tired of hearing it.
You're talking about Herbie Flowers - not only a fabulous bass player but one of the greatest human beings on the planet.
Perfectly done tutorial, will recommend this to my friends who are wanting to learn a bunch of songs on bass, Thank you for a super clean, helpful and straight to the point tutorial.
I see a demonstration. There is no tutelage here. You have a good imagination.
Great songs for a novice bass player. Variety is always good. Sure, i could think if a thousand more complex bass lines but i like your choice of songs here. Cleanly played.
for me the best bass lines are:
- come together- the beatles
- weapons of brixton- the clash
feel good inc-gorillaz
lounge act-nirvana
I can't stop- hot red peppers
the soldier - iron maiden
kiling in the name of- rage aginst the machine
@@drumscovertercermundista8246 or anything Les Claypool plays
@@williamfabiano543 It is useful too
Should have picked Orion for Metallica..or..anything by Cliff..
Yes!!
Anesthesia
Creeping Death
That's more like Lead Bass.
it is fantastic, i play on hearing and would like to learn to read notes, i am 55 years old and read letters when i play, such a method i was constantly looking for, became very happy when i looked at your channel, you make me really happy thanks, i want to read salsa how can i do this, i mean as you show
is there any app or so
you are amazing
I believe you're on about tabs and there's two brilliant subscription based apps called songsterr and ultimate guitar which have a lot
How about "For Whom The Bell Tolls" By the late great Cliff Burton?
Paul McCartney has the most melodic and tasteful bass lines. You should try more Beatles
And one of the most famous bass lines is Chrissy Hines with the Pretenders "Ohio"
Brian -the song title is “my city was gone”.
And you’re right, great bassline!
Back on the Chain Gang
for me the best bass lines are:
- come together- the beatles
- weapons of brixton- the clash
feel good inc-gorillaz
lounge act-nirvana
I can't stop- hot red peppers
the trooper - iron maiden
Súper freak _ Rick James
Rondabout _ Yes
kiling in the name of- rage aginst the machine
Weapons of Brixton!?!😂😂
Yo that is so sick! Thank you for your video I am just learning how to play and that has given me courage! Keep it up please!
im starting to learn bass guitar so this vid really encourages me to grab my guitar thx so much :)
Just started learning the bass last month. Newbie question but what does the x mean?
Grande Matt, hai fatto il botto con 'sto video!
Great bass lines. Ignore the people* that do not do but always find they should criticize people who actually DO. Thanks for posting. *Edit because I used a poor choice of words that wasn't very nice.

Great collection of basslines. Those drums sounds so crisp. What are they?
Native Instrument Studio Drummer
The bassist from muse... had so many to choose from, maybe a muse top 10 should be in order???
It is still cool to the bass separated from the rest for some of us non-musiciams
What does the dot above or below single notes mean?
Staccato note
I'm glad you care about Dawn patrol cause so many don't know that riff
I guess it worth to mention tuning at the beginning
Great video but where is Hysteria by Muse? Just a suggestion
Great bass line!
Hi, Nice job! What model is the bass? A Deluxe PJ or Deluxe Precision? Or are they the same thing? ALSO - what pickups are in the bass? Thank you in advance!
Thank you! It is a CORT GB PJ with stock pickups.
Higher Ground - Chili.. :DDD Stevie loves them maybe..
really nice video for beginners. some decent songs when it comes to best songs of all time. i think the title confused people a little bit here. maybe should have our something like: *my top 20 favorite bass lines* or *top 20 popular and easy bass lines*

Very Good my Brother !!!
Great combination of songs matt
Beautiful pj bass im jealous, getting me a Squier Affinity Series Vintage Modified PJ in half a month, excited
I hope that pinky flying around everywhere is for the sake of illustrating which note is being played....
I think The Pot by TooL is one of the best basslines ever !
Jussi Amen to that.

I’ve noticed that because I’ve got bigger hands than most, a lot of these songs seem super easy since I go 1-4 using only my index and ring finger
Missing:
Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored
Jane's Addiction - Mountain Song
Nirvana - Love Buzz
Joy Division - Transmission
So nice, congrats! Missed Panic Station - Muse.
Not to mention: "Little Green Bag" - George Baker Selection, "Walk On the Wild Side" - Lou Reed...

May be time to change those strings though, they sound dead.

@@OmniTron1000 well yeah, recording always throw a new set of high beams on my spector.

It would be nice if you grouped the songs by tuning, to make it easier to practice to.
That you left tool and Mise asside, where was the chain by Fleetwood Mac? Probably one of the best known baselines ever!
Not sure I would put any of those in my top 20. But certainly all very recognizable.
Very surprised Chic - Good Times didn't make an appearance.. cool video though, lots of great tunes there anyhow!
Great vid👍
Greta video for someone starting on bass
No one needs a video of the Thunderbrat.
Hi!!! Nice video!!! Are you sure "Come as you are is in the right key"? I think the key is in F#, not E
