#NikNocturnal #Metal #Guitar
*Slap... Like*
oh no
Call the police...
This guy is the RUSSIAN BAGS UNDER EYES GUY!!!
Slap like!?! How about I slap you
Done sir. Would you like anything else?
Rule #1 - Just play the same thing, but lower
Exactly
Rule #2 - djent
Wait, there's something more then just zeros?
then you will be able to play it easier on guitar!
/\This 100%
We all secretly enjoy it when we pick up a bass and start playing it.
NO....
@@NikNocturnal Can confirm
@@NikNocturnal Don’t feel bad I can’t play guitar or bass 😂😂😂
As a bass player, its no secret, gotta love my low end
No. Not secretly. Im a guitarist and I love the bass
5:03 Davie's face reflecting off the bass is something of poetry
Haha I saw that too :)))
Sorry, ruined the 69 likes...
Davie503 confirmed?
You should've put 5:04
@@natsugineo6695 OH SHIT BRUHHHHH I CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT NOTICE THAT
Show bassists the respect they deserve by programming the bass parts in.
I tried, they didn't seem to like it
EZBass is so good that the band Dragged Under programmed their bass even though they already tracked the bass.
@@ghastlyshimmer that's actually mad dude😂😂
@@ghastlyshimmer Jesus, the bass Player had family
I got the reference lmao
Davie504 would be proud of Nik
Why r u every where
@@Bengalfella bro, there are loads of guys without mustaches
@@Bengalfella lol cringe
Le Monke Titan
No he wouldn't. Pick is illegal, you must slapp.
Learning from Davie is a bad idea
You'll get checkmated real quick
Learning from ichika is worse
Both super slappers
Don't forget charles.
Charles berthoud is better
>You'll get checkmated real quick
Not if I force a stalemate
@@NikNocturnal along wit nikiii boi
"Question: What if I can't read music?
Nik: None of us can, don't worry about it."
Boy, that just gave me hope.
I gotchu dw
High key recommend learning sheet music though, it can really open up certain things, though you don't need to be a sight reading god
Do more bass
Only one member of the band I'm in can read music and has a degree in music. He sits at the back and hits stuff
I've been a bassist for over 20 years, and I never bothered to learn to read music. On the rare occasion I can't play by ear or trial and error, there is always online tablature.
Nik: Okay!... Bass is kinda cool!
Every guitarist ever: It’s treason then
^^^^
Bass is superior😎
@@koppie4609 no
@@koppie4609 agree
And their name was treason
How ironic you release this the day Mudvayne announces their reunion.
Brr Brr Deng
@@NikNocturnal BR BR DENG my uncles the guitarist lol
@@hubr5827 who is yoir uncle?
@@Cash_Bright39 the guitarist, dummy
Don't lie to me D: !!!
Nik having a crisis over the existence of da bass for 8 minutes
Basically
Come on, that was a perfect opportunity for “bassically” :D
you should see adam neely's video on how to play bass for guitarists, really good
Ichika is the one man I know that can be ridiculously technical, while still being melodic. He makes me want to quit any instrument I try. With Davie, I can at least laugh while crying, but Ickika has no mercy
Yup.
you should listen to "ayumu - death note" then
like I swear he'll make me quit even the triangle some day
Bernth too
Charles Berthoud is just like Ichika Nito, except on Bass. Check out his solo piccolo works, like Highland Dream or The Last ride
Davie in the next few days : " i chalenge you to bass battle NOW "
I'm down
@@NikNocturnal Then chug battle.
6:03 don't worry nik you are not alone, ichika makes everyone feel like a beginner
Very true
picking up bass as my first string instrument its always been weird. All of my guitarist friends would just pick up my bass and just start to shred but it is awesome and really informative that people realize its a totally different skill set, and guitarists and bassists alike realize its its not just as simple as playing guitar with less strings and bassists knowing guitar isn't just bass with more strings. They have their own skill set and their own place in the band/setup
as a bassist this was hilarious to watch
"I don't think knowing Beethoven's hair color is gonna help me shred harder"
-Nik Nocturnal (2021)
Can confirm, it did not make me shred harder
@@NikNocturnal What was the answer?
I genuinely wanna see more of this
:D
“Oh I’m bad at everything” right at the end hit home, I felt that hard 😭
I feel it hard
The day has finally came
Scary day
His reactions to the guys who are fucking amazing at Bass is priceless
I like that every guitar player that picks up a bass sounds exactly like a guitar player playing a bass.
today on meme monday: nik seems to have gone insane
:D
Seems?
@3:53
"None of us can, don't worry about it."
THE. F...ING. TRUTH!
After Mudvayne announced them reuniting you had to brr brr deng
^^^
Wait wat?
Mudvayne's reuniting? Holy hell
@@The_Horse-leafs_Cabbage yeah, they announced it yesterday
That's an obligatory Dig cover. Close the poll
*freeze frame* "Yup, that's me, you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation."
^^ Yup
I know what this is referencing but I don't exactly
@@Trent2002W pretty sure it's a tiktok thing, but it's great that you can do that with literally any point in this video ^^
@@adrianjohnson2282 I'm a dumbass its spiderman 1 I've seen that movie so many times idk how I forgot
Nik: 4:48
I, a bassist: _"I have achieved my goal, I can now finally die in peace."_
This was surprisingly entertaining. Love the bass.
Thank you :D
We need guitar and bass covers now.
:O
@@NikNocturnal up master Nik 🤘
As a bassist I absolutely love watching guitars try and learn bass. Good work my guy! Keep it up
I like the part when he did the Brr Brr Deng
Mudvayne is back too :D
Even Nik feels like quit guitar because of Ichika so why am I even trying to play it?
Ichika is too good
"I'm not impressed by your performance."- Davie504
Same
Is this a GSP reference?
Davie504 be judging from the video AND the reflection in the bass
6:15 - Here's the brr brr deng, we know you came for it
5:01 davies reflection in the bass holy shit 🤣
this is literally the best/funniest guitar video I've watched yet! thank you for openly sharing your journey with us! 🙏🏼
Yeah bro. You are now ready for a bass battle with Davie
I will do
Best to just think of Ichika as a robot god and not compare yourself to him. Guy played beautifully on a harp after one month.
Anyway I much enjoy watching you decide to skip the basics and then freak out at the super advanced stuff. Keep it coming! 😂
ok
Epic...great job Nik!! always enjoy your videos. 😊
I very much enjoy this "Metal Guitarist Tries" series. I support multiple parts where you're actually improving and working on areas (like reading sheet music, playing another instrument, etc.).
4:45 PLEASE don't let Bradley Hall find out that it's possible to sweep on a bass!!!
Oh no
This made my day. You had me laughing so hard. Not that it matters, but I respect you even more now. So many guitar players think that there is nothing to playing the bass and it's easier than guitar. Maybe in some aspects, but you just showed it's not always the case. As a bassist, thank you for putting out this video.
Love your video 😍really enjoyed 😊😆
I really enjoyed your beginning on the bass! When i started playing bass, it was much worse! You know, you had some knowledge at your beginning behind the bass, i hadn't! So good job for the first time!😁👍🏼
Now Nik has *no right* to shit talk bassists. 😈
“There’s just so much wood!” - Nik 2021
True
There was much innuendo in this vid. ✌✌👍👎
420k subs as well ! Congrats !
Having started on guitar and moved onto bass myself, I have extra joy seeing guitarists try bass
Fucking lost it at "ichika already makes me want to quit guitar, this is illegal!"
omg please do more bass videos this was amazing lmao
Ok
Because of you I bought my first guitar ltd m 50 mat black cant wait to starting playing
I like that I just heard y’all talk about playing bass on the Get Tucked podcast the other day.
As a bassist who had to go the opposite route thanks to pandemic reality, having to learn to play guitar to continue making music in this solo at home musician world, it was nice seeing your exploration. :) I feel ya on the distance in string spacing and the general size difference giving you crap when switching over. Trying to play guitar I feel like I'm holding some ukelele tinker toy that's gonna break if I play slightly aggressively and trying to make chords on guitar feels like I have to compress and shrink my hand into this tiny little claw in order to not overshoot the fret I'm aiming for by a full octave. xD
Always enjoy your "tries to learn" videos dude, entertaining stuff.
P.S. OH BTW, about making chords on bass, yes you absolutely can however as you saw because of the lower fundamental frequencies it will sound like muddy crap without tweaking your EQ and technique a bit. Larger chordal intervals helps in order to spread out the frequencies along with using basic two-note "cheater chords" (as I call them) instead of the full-on chord shape. Oh, and go ahead and use a pick bro. 1mm is a good all around size for bass on the quick. There's still a bunch of the old boomer mentality out there about "Bassist only use ______" but you can completely ignore all that crap. Lemmy, Chancellor, Squire, Bobby Vega, etc. All pickers, all legends.
It really finally came; slap that bass!
Slapping has been initiated
This made me so happy. You have a new subscriber.
love to see you know how i feel whenever i see you play ! :-D
In the thumbnail I saw Davie, then I saw Nik, then I couldn't help but click.
Same
Nik just went insane from playing bass
I did
Love what you did here man🔥🤘
7:32 wtf
that riff is badass
I typically do my riffs something like that, and that's just my sorta riffing taken to the max and I love it
finally, you learn a real instrument
😂
“And 10 other jokes to tell your friends”
No...🤦♂️
@@cryptic3420 😂😂😂😂
Did you flush your brain down the toilet or something?...
"Ok, so bass might not be a conspiracy, it might be real" - One of my favorite lines I've heard in a long time, ha!!! As a guitarist, I love how bass came second in behind guitar in every "how to" search hahah
This video was hilarious Nik, thanks for making my night
MOAR BASS VEEDIOS!! This was legit thanks man
6:25 yessssss he played it
4:48. On behalf of all guitarists, you are banished. Treason is not accepted
I know why!!?? 🤦♂️😥
Who is this?
7:10 almost sounds like primus...
Bless your heart
"I'm a pro at plucking now...cuz the dude showed me how to finger the bass"
"Video will be demonitized"
Killed me 🤣🤣💀
'there's just so much wood'
That's what she said
I'm a bass player and I love how you spotlight how different the two instruments are. thank you.
This is the first time I actually knew more than Nik on a topic! And was immediately depressed but also intrigued
"So many knobs i fell like a DJ" lol
The moment you realise the bass is waaaaay harder than playing the guitar and actually more fun.
@bassbuzz is the best! Epic video!
I fully support more bass vids! Fire & the Flames future video!
My two cents (because I've done the same thing) is that buying a 5 string as your first bass presents an extra challenge in terms of muting that low B. I'm learning that muting is essential to bass playing. Having to mute that extra string might not seem like much to us extended range guitarists but it's still an extra string.
2:32 Teenage boys in the morning.
never thought i would see Nathan in a nik video and im so happy I have
Amazing! I love it!
I have feared this day for a long time
So have I...
Never been this early to a Nik video, but here I am. 🤠🤠⌛️
Thank you for being here :D
As a bass player, you just made my day, Sir. I had a blast watching this. 🤘🏻
One of the best vids haha
He’s finally turning to the Dark Side.😈😈😈
Wait. "Dark Side?" Is this a reference to Finnish entry in that annual European song contest?
@@NRDwho Kinda, it’s mainly a Star Wars reference but since guitarist and Bassist are jokingly enemies, so he’s turning to the Dark Side
8:00 - Heard of Animals as Leaders?
Yoooo! 420k subs epico i’m so proud!
Funny that you posted this just after I ordered my first bass. And that it popped up in my recommended the day it shows up.
welcome to the club, you cant leave because we get very sad when people do
When you realize how to make distorted tones on bass, you never want to go back to guitar again
Nicely done.
I just got a 5 string schecter stilleto. Sounds like heaven. Feels like a dream
Davie watching this would be EPIC
I agree
next episode: Nik attempts to John Myung the bass
This is like the best video you ever made
Watching Nik learn base is the highlight of my week
In all fairness to davie, he's become a meme but he's a killer bass player. Credit to nik, thought you killed it there 👌
5:03 DaDavie
a few months late but honestly, the song that really helped me learn how to get my slap bass technique down was Escape from the City from Sonic Adventure 2.
That opening slap bass line was all I needed to learn.
Right hand for bass is tricky for sure. I just used a pick when I played bass regularly. The finger style needs a lot more coordination, as does classical guitar. Then, adding slap, it's crazy. I'll plug Charles Berthoud here too. Him and Davie pretty much are the UA-cam bass section
