    My favorite part about Dirnts bass lines is that they never just mirror the guitar, he always adds little hammer-on/pull-offs and other stuff that adds to the grove, he’s my favorite bassist

      If you think that ALL bass lines are doing the same as the guitar,you haven't listened enough bass lines, in all songs I play,the bass is doing things completely differents

      Amanda Blanco tbh it is really common and annoying that bassist just play the root note to whatever the guitarist is playing

    1:07 That melodic fill is perfect man; not too complicated, not too simple. Could've fit right in the original.

    Best bass cover I've seen of this song on UA-cam, and I watched a bunch of them always leaving unimpressed. Everybody else forgets the little fast part at 1:32 and 1:37... that's my favorite part! Fucking nailed it! Keep rockin'!

    • @CiaranWard
      @CiaranWard  9 років тому +23

      +Fuzzah97 Wow thank you dude, I appreciate that a lot! :) yeah, a lot of people don't know it's there because it's so quiet in the actual song, but it's such an awesome little fill that I seem to throw in all over the place these days haha. I'd recommend Mark Bull's cover of this song. He throws in that little fill and he just nails the song in general. You won't be disappointed! Thanks for checking it out man :)

    This is why pick style bass playing deserves as much respect as fingerstyle playing, each one has its own advantages and suit better in certain genres of music. From a fingerstyle bassist, props to you dude! You totally nailed it!

    • @CiaranWard
      @CiaranWard  4 роки тому +9

      Thank you for having the attitude that all bass players should have, it's so refreshing to see 🤘🏻 i wish more people would open their minds and realise that learning all techniques is the best thing you can do as a bass player. I love playing fingerstyle too! Thanks for checking it out man, I appreciate it 😊
