Tips And Comments:
Playing Technique: Played next to the bridge pickup, low strength for intro/verses, high strength for everything else. Both pickups on, full tone
Gear Sound: Added low end, some bass and treble, boost around 1.5 k, cut a bit of mids, high gain. Both DI and amp. Not quite happy with the tone, i think i needed newer strings
About The Song: Transcribed from the studio version with help of isolated bass, live videos and clips

Obviously a great line. I had no fresh strings while recording this, so the tone is not that bright as i wanted it to be. I had to raise some highs to compensate for it. For the main riff is very important to practice it slowly at first, getting the nuances. Controlling the resonance of the Low D string may be hard also, try using your RH thumb to mute when needed to. I'll wait for your questions on the comments. About harmony, the song is centered on the key of Dm, approaching more into F for the Chorus/Intro. The line itself uses lots of good inversions in the Chorus/Intro, then goes on with a riff centered on Dm7 and on the choruses mostly supports with the tonic with fills on the same key. You could say there's a Phrygian approach on the Eb played on the riff, but is very subtle. Other that that, it remains mostly diatonic:
Dm Key (relative to F)(B's are flat)
I Dm (D F A) or Dm7 (D F A C) for this case (extended harmony)
II Edim (E G Bb)
III F (F A C)
IV Gm (G Bb D)
V Am (A C E)
VI Bb (Bb D F)
VII C (C E G)
I'm open for suggestions, corrections and whatever opinion no the comment section

If you want to hear that, just hear "Take the power back" by RATM

[@nextplanetband]

The transition at 3:00 is such an important turn around. The earlier segways are all pauses/dropout slow parts and the thrust just brings it all back it’s absolutely genius!!

[@jasonbentley9968]

I just can't get over how funky this is. Especially at 2:36 it's just boss

[@FraldinhoBJJ]

That’s what I was just thinking
Flea was like “let me just totally make a upbeat funk riff and see if Anthony notices since he doesn’t play any instruments and frusciante is so bad he’s just going to be happy I’m taking attention away from his whack guitar skills .” lol

Your bass always seems to have the perfect sound for every song

[@KrahsYddad]

What a faithful bassplayer. You mimic various bass characters in different songs with just one bass. Cool.

[@anidiotsandwich2132]

This bass line is too good for human kind

[@yohohoagiE]

Keep the RHCP coming!!!!!!

[@mediumsame]

Yesh

[@unaxl3245]

That would be cool haha

And here's me thinking I could learn this by ear.

[@rodrigobonetto3850]

Yeah mate i thought I d did a good job but when compared to the tabs it was all wrong hahaha

[@arminsm2]

and that's why we are here

I’ve been a fan of this video for about 2 years, and like 2-3 weeks ago I finally got my first bass.
Cort Action DLX V-as OPN
The sole reason I bought a bass with 24 frets was just to be able to play this.

[@juanfdo]

No olvidemos que esta banda tiene a uno de los mejores bajistas del mundo!! Sos un capo

[@pip3chileno]

love that bass, that line is hightest and lower in the same time

[@Mr.M1STER]

One of my all time favourite songs and basslines.

[@ethanrichardson4555]

This song is so much fun to play and you did a great job on the tabs, thanks!

[@barryphillips7790]

Echo that-
- tab plus chord basis plus music section (chorus etc) - really great for a learner. What a great cover.

[@IDesertt]

When you just have a 20 frets bass...

[@tastefulpigeon4784]

Desertt mine is 21 with just a bit sticking out into 22, I hyped myself up thinking I could play only to receieve a very hollow sound feelsbadman

[@carterm4475]

Ikr

[@112niemand]

I guess you could try to play that line an octave lower, so that it is in the range you have

[@IDesertt]

Jukkiej I just keep play the 17s

[@philz_corsia]

same man, i just transpose down one octave to make it easier

[@liamblake6042]

Been waiting for this cover for a while. I think your tone still sounds great and goes along with the song really well, and your dynamics and use of strength is just brilliant.

[@Brog420]

Keep the rhcp covers going! They are clearly your most successful

[@swolehalfasian]

It's about time you did this song, great moves, keep it up, proud of you.

[@carterm4475]

Yes! Thank you, I have trying to find a decent tutorial until my favorite bass tutorial channel, you, made this video! Thanks again!

[@JosephHhh-u8n]

Just wanna say thank you, for making this video clear and easy to read. From the tabs, and the tempo marching very well together 👏!

[@sadgealex2456]

I hate rhcp cause it sounds so easy early then there is the breakdown where you have to put the video at 0.25X speed to understand what's going on :cccc

[@Frederick0]

Lol

[@ParanoidTime-s1r]

I’m disappointed my jazz bass only has like 19 and a half frets, I’ll probably get a stingray to play it because they have like 21 or something

[@ParanoidTime-s1r]

Doyoon Han some of the Ibanez and some sting rays have like 24 or something

[@jakskejajajajaa4283]

Well it is easy i have played bass for little over year and i learned this in day

[@ParanoidTime-s1r]

Carlos David Ariza post it then

[@rebeccav.3734]

I just said to myself last night that you should cover this song. Great job!

[@felipeavila8087]

man i love to get high and listen to your covers, you are amazing (and when i not high i use them to learn) THANK YOU SIR

This has got to be my favorite rhcp song.

Dude you shred on that bass 😯 ! Much Respect ! Thanks for all the lessons and thank you for sharing your gift.

[@sentimenta1664]

learned this bassline in a day thanks to this video, cheers coversolutions!!!

[@duncanambrose206]

Love how everyone's complaining about not being able to play this when you could just, y'know, shift up a string. $5 says flea probably played this on his J Bass or Musicman so that'd what he woulda been doing anyways

[@beck_tybg]

YES! I have been wanting you to do this song forever! Could you maybe try to do any more primus covers. No real preference I'd just love to see more primus covers
