For a guitar player like me this is really interesting. When I'll have formed a band I'll surely send this to the bassist (who I'm planning to give vocal duties as well)
Hey, Andriy, ua-cam.com/video/5PcUt65GXG8/v-deo.htmlsi=u65Ld_5DWQ4sb_dt This video is a bootleg of the boys playing the usual '86 tour set. Except the bass is louder than all hell. It's really loud on Damage Inc. So that may be helpful
Cliff Burton was an absolute legendary bass player, an excellent songwriter and a superb showman, but his timing wasn't on par with Hetfield's rhythm guitar tracks (which is very evident in this particular track, especially during the verse riff) and I'm guessing that's one of the reasons the bass was always kinda low in the mix (although not even near as bad as Jason on AJFA, of course).
@@DavidOakesMusicNo, it's just that they didn't/don't care as much about timing as other fingerstyle bass players, and most likely no producer/engineer ever told them "play that again, it was sloppy" and instead went with "meh, it's good enough" during recording. There are more fingerstyle bass players with good timing than those with bad timing: for just a few examples: Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Michael Anthony (Van Halen), Christian Grönlund (Freak Kitchen), Andreas Blomqvist (Seventh Wonder), Felipe Andreoli (Angra) and many, many more. Burton concentrated on composition and showmanship instead of timing, and Myung focused on speed/technique instead of timing. They managed to make it work within the context of their respective band, but personally I prefer bassists with good timing over anything else - they're primarily part of a rhythm section, after all.
I like the way even the little syncopated grace notes are tabbed. A Cliff signature and wonderful attention to detail.
Glad someone notices that and uses the proper terms! My work ain’t in vain. Thanks
5:19 James: Are you gonna try follow the rhythm guitar or the lead?
Cliff: yes
Cliff wrote that harmony lead
Bro promised bass tabs for this 7 years ago😭
But I did have them for years :) Until it was lost. Now I remade and improved it
@@Yeahuy ahh okay sick man /M\
He is ATACKING his strings, man
5:21 did he galopp in the 2nd bar on the screen?
You mean that little 000? Yeah, it a sort of pre-gallop, it gives the note it lands on some whiplash value
He was the BEST......period.....
The Flea.

at 0:48 he does a eighth note with 2 sixteenth notes into that 7 on the A string or am i hearing wrong
Idk, I don’t hear that. But he did do 16th gallops and duplets here and there.
andriy! please make tabs for disposable heroes next!!
We’ll get there!
My forearm is sore just listening
I need a tone breakdown for this, cus cliffs tone is so cool and unique
I guess it’s Tube Screamer here
@@Yeahuy definitely, I’m wondering what amps he used, and I know he recorded in a different room from where the amp was because he hated headphones
@@KylezMusicwhat’s your instagram I get decently close but maybe you got what I’m missing
Thanks dude! :3
So Andriy... When will you tab live at the metro version of anesthesia? :D

Maybe it's something to do with playing fingerstyle as John Myung isolated is quite sloppy too.

30 years ago I had the book from Cherry Lane music... what garbage it was.
