@@shane3516 I dunno but I guess that’s the magical part. They were winging it and probably just touched upon that inexplicable moment. You’d never get this from accomplished musicians, that’s for sure.
@@shane3516 the lowest note in that run (the 0) is an E, which is not in the key. The note 'should' be an E flat, but he cant go any lower than E without a different tuning. Is it wrong? Technically, yes. Does it sound wonderfully unsettling and a bit obnoxious? Yes it does. Love it.
@@shane3516 It's super out of key, playing a diminished fifth on the lowest available note, but its the fact that it happens during the instrumental break in an audible gap at just the right time and throws you off course for a second that makes it so brilliant. I think its a great metaphor for Joy Division, trancelike repetition with uncomfortable and up front interruptions in the melodies that leave you waiting to hear what is next.
Thanks for all the insightful responses! when ever I play along to this track my instinct is to try and fix that run but you all have convinced me to enjoy the dissonance :)
I like how minimalist and balanced everything is. It starts with those driving, almost neo-tribal sounding drums, then the plodding but hooky (pun absolutely intended) bass line, and then the stark, bright guitar punctuates the mix and everything just feels so balanced, everything is churning and weaving and just works so well together. A testament to the pros of minimalism, a less-is-more approach. So damn good.
indeed. joy division's use of the high-tuned bass as the lead melody instrument is probably the most legendary thing in pop-structured music i know of.
Peter Hook is the Geezer Butler of punk. Whereas Butler made you feel like you're stuck in mud, Hook's bass playing gives that feeling of isolation and hopelessness that is the trademark of Joy Division.
Feels weird seeing a G2220 in walnut because I have the same bass in black. Love the cover love the fact that you show the tabs! I'm gonna spend some time getting this one down later.
Gretsch basses aren't super common in the mainstream music realms, more a studio tool suited generally for blues/country style tunes in their hollow-body formations. The particular model in this video is also used by Mike Kerr from Royal Blood, but the hollow-body models have been used by Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs), Duff McKagan (GnR) and Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick who plays a gigantic 12-string white falcon bass.
I got one for Christmas last year - love it. Very reasonably priced and sounds great. Mine is about the same - similar color but a bit of a sunburst, or maybe just dark vignette around the edges. I wish I could play that well - that was terrific
@@frazerspooner7683 I was going to buy a Torino color but in the end I bought an Epiphone Viola Bass and I am very satisfied since that bass model is not currently seen
I started playing bass like 7 months ago, and this song in particular Made me say yes ti bass, and i learned It, the 6 6530 lick Is a little hard to get
gonna start with this one too. should be possible. i hope when i can play one song i love i might have more motivation to pick up the bass and learn more basic stuff
3:26 on 5, what is the "Fish hook" looking symbol mean? I can find it in a search by calling it a "Fish hook note symbol in music notation"..so Im way off.
For the fastish songs yes he down picked but for most studio and his instructionals etc he uses the up and down stroke. Well I should say also in later years he has done more up and down strokes. :)
@@Axolotl_Mischief thing is with Hooky is that you never know just how he plays it one day to the next. That was the beautiful thing about post punk/new wave, they kept the no rules attitude and still did what they wanted with beautiful music.
yo diría que el final es más bien un loop de 10-11-13 en la cuerda 6 que lo que hiciste, pero buen coveer. (pd: me gusta más tocar el re# en el espacio 13 cuerda 4 que en el 8 cuerda 3 (suena con más cuerpo)

That 5-3-6-0 riff is just so weirdly brilliant.
I like it too, but why dose it work? It sounds pretty out of key

In my personal opinion, the bass is everything in this song, once you hear that bass line, this song keeps in your head forever
yeah, pretty much every Peter Hook bass line
the drums are kinda sick too, i really like every part of this songg

One of the greatest songs. WILD bassline.
One of the greatest basslines of all time
So simple but so so brilliant
I bought this Gretsch bass a few weeks ago. Incredible bass for $300. Great cover!
I bought one in January, best bass I've ever played
thanks for the great video! I have been learning bass for just over a month now and now i am able to play one of my favourite songs!!! Ilysm
tone is very spot on, i like it
What a beautiful bass
That bass looks really cool. Also thanks for the tabs.
what a nice bass. Well done!
Such a hypnotic performance, definitely one of my favorite songs of all time. Awesome cover my man 👏👏👏

I have one in the tobacco burst finish
I've never seen a Gretsch Bass Guitar before that.
I got one last week.

Sweet. Just ordered a junior jet

@@qq-md3si it's the kind of bass
i wanna play this when i get a bass
I started playing bass like 7 months ago, and this song in particular Made me say yes ti bass, and i learned It, the 6 6530 lick Is a little hard to get
You should, I just got one and this is the first song I’m learning
gonna start with this one too. should be possible. i hope when i can play one song i love i might have more motivation to pick up the bass and learn more basic stuff
I have that exact same bass, and I absolutely love it! Great Cover!
El mejor cover que he visto de todos... 👏👏👏
How can people not appreciate the bass? Even more when it comes to Hooky?
Nice job. So beautiful bass guitar dude. Regards from Argentina.
merci pour tout ce taf😀
Gotta love joy division tabs!!!!
As a finger style player, this song is forcing me to use a pick! This is a pick only bass line for sure (;
it just sends your thumb flying back and forth
really? I had opposite effect with this one. too much fast picking movement over strings id rather just let the fingers fly up to tempo
nice!
i have this exact bass.
love the natural growl.
i think i have a problem with the G2220 now...it feels weird not to listen royal blood songs coming out of it... lol
This song is why i bought a bass. Thank you.
Thank mate, I wanted to hear that junior jet bass in action with a joy division song, and it sounds great
Nice cover👍
Really dig the tone
God I love that bass. If you ever get sick of it, give me a ring, lol. Great cover by a great band and the great Peter Hook.
I think that's one of the best short scale bass guitars out there especially for the price, great video 👍.
Best bass riff ever😊
Looks like the Gibson EB3. I have a 66 EBO short scale, and put p bass D'Marizios behind the Humbucker with both pups on great tone love that bass
Clicked like because you're playing a Grestch Junior Jet. I have one too, it's a great little bass
Well done.
Great performance!
Wooow 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Increíble trabajo maestro
👏🏻😍👏🏻😍👏🏻😍👏🏻😍
I have the exact Bass except mines the Green one. They are so cool and very good job thank you.
I used to love playing this one!!
Beautiful.
Nice one Hooky
Sweet sounds 🎸
3:26 on 5, what is the "Fish hook" looking symbol mean? I can find it in a search by calling it a "Fish hook note symbol in music notation"..so Im way off.
Awsome, just awsome
I dont know who this is but UA-cam sure does want me to watch it.
The way you play reminds me of Interpol
That’s in my list!
The way interpol plays one is reminded of Joy Division.
Interpol are Joy Division copyists, that's why
@@RollrightKnights They really aren't, and your comment is just incredibly lazy, stupid and boring.
@@frankkubrick865 Talking about yourself again, cretin?
Buenisimo, Joy Division merece mas aprecio
creo que tienen el aprecio que merecen, a poco los quieres al lado de lady gaga o justin beaver?
Más? Viejo, es la banda más icónica del post punk
Es una banda de culto porque inspiraron a un montón de bandas con el unknown pleasures y el closer
@@MrRobot0 si pero fuera de los circulos no se escucha mucho
The chamelions también
@@DestroyIhosh la gente babosa no merece ni sabe apreciar joy division, quieres que los regaetoneros o los buchones esten escuchando ?
Thanks brah
Thanks man!
Nice sound
Nice bass.
It's cool!
La intro de la "Voz de los 80" - Los Prisioneros
Do you exclusively pick down all the track?
more joy division please
I have just a doubt on the final riff, in the original song I think it's an half tone up (10-13 instead of 9-12)
Grazie
Simple but nice~
I have the same bass!
👍👍👍
Muy bien. Saludos wey.
uuu te mando a la verga el rockstar.
I HAVE THE SAME BASS
Good
Sick to Rick en Baker, and Atsason Aramtin.
Qual o modelo desse baixo?
Gretsch G2220 Electromatic Jr Jet II Bass
@@RomainCNC thanks my friend.
My first full song, i just play riffs
I remember this song from skate 3
i dont like how some of the notes are off key so im gonna change my version a bit, love this song tho
I came here because i can't remember the outro xd, thanks
what's the turning
Standard tuning ;)
1:00 2:55 (don't mind me, just bookmarking)
People tend to miss that bass fill at the beginning at 00:10
digital pleaseee
Re piola
dont think it has chorus, just verb and delay
Love jamming out to this bassline, but what's with all the down picking?
Hooky was a punk bassist, in live performances you can see he always down picked.
For the fastish songs yes he down picked but for most studio and his instructionals etc he uses the up and down stroke. Well I should say also in later years he has done more up and down strokes. :)
That’s how Peter hook played it. Also, it’s common in punk.
Ah, guess I never noticed. Was always told that downpicking with no alt-picking was a huge no-no, and amature hour bs. 🤷♂️
@@Axolotl_Mischief thing is with Hooky is that you never know just how he plays it one day to the next. That was the beautiful thing about post punk/new wave, they kept the no rules attitude and still did what they wanted with beautiful music.
Your backing track ?
I imagine Yuri ddlc playing this bassline
What's the tuning?
Standard tuning E A D G
Good effort but the ending just doesn't sound right....
Sounds right to me. Do you care to explain which notes are specifically wrong? Or even better, a video of you performing the ending perhaps?
Not system got it

Standard

What was Hooky thinking during the last few seconds
useful shit lad, expect 50 more veiws from me alone lol
haha thanks!
Cool but you have to tune the G string next time
Бас не слышно
if only he could sing this would be a good song
lmao
@@frankkubrick865 he cant “LOL”
Joy division .yuk . Sounded like1st graders trying to right music.
Their guitar drives me insane, it hurts to listen to
Music Snobs Fok Off
Thanks dude!
