It's easy to get lost in the mix as a bassist. To the point where it doesn't even matter if you're there or not. Ryan never gets lost in the mix. I can always recognize his style immediately.
You are so right... as a bassist we are sometimes looked at as expendable in the band or the "starter instrument" lol yeah....try Les Claypool leading all his bands and kicking ass more than any bassist ever and also Mark Sandman leading Morphine. Now it's Ryan's turn.
Ld 50 is a legendary album for bass.
No one can slap da bass like Martinie. That dude is such a powerhouse on the bass. Definitely 1 of the best...
I just bought my first Warwick about 6 months ago and it is definitely 1 badass machine..
I tell you Ryan messed up switching to Fodera.
Doin' the Mud. I can dig it :)
Love the puns
There’s nothing to gein from a comment like this
Then again people complain about everything and nothing
BRR BRR DENG 😂
Yea, but my name is also mud 😂
In mudvayne he used double drop tunings including drop F# B(F# B F#B E) and G C (G C G C F) on his thumb basses . Soften the glare is where I believe he uses the A D double drop tuning. The warwick thumb is key to the tone as well as it's pickup position is different then most basses with them closer to the bridge helps the bass really cut through the mix. Awesome video cheers
In the first album L.D. 50 it was drop B, but the next few until self-titled album I believe it was drop C. He definitely is diverse in his tuning even during Soften the Glare. I am sure he's gone into drop C a couple of times :P
@@AbhiBass96 there is a couple songs he hits a note lower then B and he usually uses 5 string. Either way love ryan
@@Jihadbearzwithgunz That is true but his low B is usually either low A or low G depending on his tuning. Yes, big love to that guy!
LD50 is F# B F# B E.
@Ex Imperio Libertas seen him live I'm pretty sure on the end of all things to come he plays double drop GC on ld 50 it's a mix of double drop F# B and B with a extra B on the bass plus on bass your hands don't go to typical chord positions simply position 1 2 3 and so on near key patterns
Ryan was definitely for me one of my main influences when playing, showing people this aggressive tone always gave me the best results on stage, and getting people something to talk about besides the guitar or drums.
It's like using Flamenco style techniques similar to how Les Claypool uses, but Ryan Martinie has found himself his own awesome style and sound. I don't mean to compare or anything. It's been a long while since I've played, I just remember when I was getting into music in High School Les and Ryan have always put an impression on me, super talented!
Yeah I get touchy when anyone even hints to be as good as Les lol...not possible. But close. For me, it goes Les, Mark Sandman, and then Ryan. All badass.
Soften the Glare is incredible, and you may be the first person i have heard talk about them. I always thought it looked like he was typing out his notes. Typewriter style. Great stuff man!
Soften the Glare are amazing!
His tuning is GCGCF, from what I can remember. 3rd and 2nd albums of Mudvayne are unplayable otherwise
Wow this is actually a rare gem video. Really well done and great job on the sound.
I really appreciate how he breaks away from always following the guitar. You just can't beat that Thumb tone; it's such a unique sound. He's the reason why I wanted one for long and now I finally have one! It's kind of a bitch to play though due to it's excessive weight and severe neck diving tendencies. But I wouldn't have it any other way. It kinda adds to its charm.
Huge inspiration. I can't wait to see more of his playthroughs and damn would it be cool to see him do playthroughs of old Mudvayne songs.
This technique is one I learned from a Mariache in 1990. I was happy to see it used in a much more creative way then I was taught
Ryan’s technique reminds me of a funnel web spider the way they rare up on their back legs and strike down on their prey.
If I remember correctly, his primary 4-string tuning was actually C-G-C-F. He's also a big fan of light string tension.
Do you think 0,95 for the (E) string Is ok or is better .90
It is. That’s how I learned to play a lot of their songs.
his bass playing technique is unique
Yes... that's the appeal. Like Les Claypool is so insanely unique and his invention of the whamola then Mark Sandman from Morphine...Ryan's in that class. I wanna leave my job and go get my bass now...something about that instrument just hits me in a way no other instrument in the band does.
This is my favorite bass player!!! I play bass and I cover Mudvayne on bass… this video really helped me, thank you, rock on!!! 🤟🏻🫶🏻✌🏻👍🏻🤘🏻💚
I love Mudvayne band. They're awesome! Ryan is a damn beast!
This is an incredible series!
I have a recommendation, you HAVE to teach us how Remco Hendriks plays (Remco's Groove Lab on the Tube). He's a god among bassists but not as known, I hope you'll do it. Cheers, have a good day!
tis' a must!
Super cool lesson bro!!! Thank you for sharing this!!! Ryan is one of my favourite bass players! Congratulations!
Thank you for this awesome video! Very helpful! 🙏
All of us waiting BRR-BRR-DENG BRR-BRR-DENG from you. )))
There was an interview done like 20 years ago in a magazine where he spoke about the recording process of LD50 and he explained he had lots of problems in the studio related to intonation issues, etc. Anyone have this interview archived?
What a masterclass !!
Greetings from Brazil !!
Very cool and instructive 😊👍🏻
So cool! ❤️🔥
This is a great video. Thank you.
Ryan's bass playing is really obvious in his bass player shredded forearms
Awesome channel!
Love the mud rolling through my vaynes. I dig it
great content, thank you very much
Nice work.
That struck note your talking about was also used by john entwistle of the who. Iam surprised that people don't talk about that technique so often. Would love to see a in depth video of John's technique
Amazing! Underrated and hardly anything on Ryan at all!
Great video
Such a cool video
I call his technique, Snake Bite tapping
Favorite bass player
In Mudvayne he had drop B (B F# B E) and drop C (C G C F or G C G C F)
Another good ☝️
He had coined this technique "The Butterfly" many years ago from what i've learned.
A real bass king is a humble one. Ryan slaps so hard
Thanks for this awesome video!! Right now on youtube only one single cover of the track "funky lady" from the first album of "Soften The Glare" exists, i hope one day we will see another one and your video about this awesome bassist will definitely help along that road !
talking of bassgod talking of Ryan !! :)
I really like it
Finally, I found this video. I sub because only video who teaching this rare technique. I always called it the clawing technique because it looks like he clawing the strings. There only 1 Bassist close enough to what he does. That the Ox, John Whistler. He does a more flamenco style. Also there Doug Wimbish, who does a weird reverse 2 finder thumb slap pop that also kinda flamenco like. I just think those be 2 other interesting bassist to look into. Thanks for the video :D
Thank you! I just did a History Of Slap video that talks about Wimbish and Martinie further :D
Simple, just, brr brr deng
Hey buddy thanks for dissecting that
Hey, nice video as always, mind doing a Clay Gober one?
Awesome vid dude...
Kind of funny to find metal band where the bassist is more techical than the guitar player... 😂😂
Could you maybe do a vid on Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse or Derek Boyer Suffocation???
Think's some interrasting techicks there 🤘
Again really nice vid dude
From DK 🤘🤘🤘
Спасибо интересное видео
That alien Sound
I see posts about the second W. I'm from the midwest USA. Every player I've known pronounces it how it's spelled. With both w's.
I was actually looking for "How to SLAP like Will Smith", but this works way better.
Damn that shit sounds sick. I don't even play bass but I'm about to start lol shiiiitt
Ryan's thumb can break diamonds.
If you could demonstrate this with the opening bass riff from "Ghost Flowers" by Otep that would be everything to me !!!!
I always feel like Ryan's style is the metal version of entwistle and a harder hitting form of Doug wimbish, granted doug doesnt do a lot of this type of slap, but its still kinda part of his technique as well
Bass from GREYHOUNDS Band is a Must..
Could you do fieldy from Korn.
Mudvayne plays in drop B. I have the tab book for L.D. 50.
I learned the bass of nothing to gein verse part and then realized I have to learn the slap tappin I m on the bench from blisters now it really setting me back I make progress then I have to heal and then when I come back to playing I have to relearn parts
Kinda reminds me of John Etiwhisle
I’ve seen him say thunder fingers was a influence in interview before
Fuckin’ DENG!!!
I've been playing bass for almost 30 years and never knew the proper pronunciation of Warwick, so everyone just calm down, Jesus.
And yea, now he plays a signature Fodera. Looks nice but I don't have 12k to drop on a new instrument.
Hola Master has un vídeo de Abraham Laboriel
Primus vibes
0:55 is that a fretless with only the fret mark on the fretboard?
Yep, in the "chorus" of that song you can hear that "mwaah" sound that fretless basses have
He plays Fodera now
5:01 I heard Janie's got a gun lol
Mr. BrBrDeng
@2:10 CDCFG
2:29 "He places his thumb awn the fretboard"
AWN!
Outro song?
An original of mine!
Just wait until you see John Ferrara of Consider the Source.
What about Fieldy?
Some higher power taught Ryan Martinie this bass
we let mudvayne play metal with the seinfeld song under it and ppl just let it happen
doesnt he play in drop B tho?
comprrreeesssssseeeedddd
BRR BRR DENG
Victor Wooten does things like that haha
Can you do a how to slap like Fieldy from Korn?
Alex webster would be awesome
he only wore makeup on the first album for Mudvayne.
BRBR DENG
Take me out of my ignorance what does this means.
Have you heard Eugene Kostyuk from the band Jinjer he plays the bass guitar
He does not play Warwick anymore
A
war-ick not war-wick
Americans. They are spell a word totally wrong or add letters where they aren't needed!
I don't want to sound condescending but I've been studying his technique for the last 5 years. I have heard that this technique is usually similar to John Entwistle from The Who (ua-cam.com/video/TgCID2o9iho/v-deo.html). I would also argue this isn't really "slapping" even though they do produce the same dynamic and attack of a note. There are nuances. You can definitely hear when he slaps and when he switches to this _struck note_ technique. I am not sure if it's also called _the butterfly_ technique (ua-cam.com/video/Putbs1qJxa0/v-deo.html).
2:28 - you are right that it is an aggressive fingerstyle. But, for Ryan, his aggressive finger still is going through the strings (ua-cam.com/video/WUDpYZd8oA4/v-deo.html). Not Falling is a great example where during the introduction he goes *through* the string and when the verses begin he switches to a more *lighter* touch while playing. Anyways, I really like the video. These were just my extra thoughts :)
THis dude really got it down... watch?v=QpMKJUPRbGE
It's SaimoN, a bass player covering Mudvayne
I liked learning this I didnt like the snap sound effect tho
Nice video. But Entwistle was doing the fret tapping years before and Doug Wimbish year later combined with his thumb/first and second finger flamenco style in alt tunings brought it to a different level of originality. And of course Les Claypool super original player..even influenced Geddy Lee not many can say that.
...But nice video.
Finally someone got his tuning right , as a bass player since 1988 when I was in a Jr. High Metallica cover band we covered them like we were thier kids ! As I got older and mudvayne came out aswell as korn , I was confused 😕. So I picked up a guitar magazine 😅 found his tab for dig and by 2002 I was playing dig just to practice. Anyway although I listen to limp, primus, tool etc etc ...I've never been into slap pop bass ..shitd cool but gay. You millinials want a video about bass then we need Sam lofler from chevelle. That is how I play my bass low growl with deep low tones. Now Sam is a bass player im interested in . 🎸 🤘
You know Sam is chevelle’s drummer, right? Dean Bernardini would be the bassist you’re looking for.
This comment is all over the place.
Hey didn’t get it right. He just mentioned one tuning when Ryan uses 3 different tunings
You lost me when you said "Metallica cover band" and "1988" lmao
Ryan is great bassist of all his better than fieldy
Man I just threw some superslinkys on. They sound so tin canny.. ugh...
Sorry to be picky. Its pronounced “warrick” not “ war wick” the middle W is silent.
You’re welcome mate.
Ryan v flea
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ryan lol. This ain't the 90s
It's pronounced War-ick
Not war-wick.
Lol!!!!
Wow, Mudvayne, this seems interesting... First fact stated completely wrong hahaha quality try drop B
