10 ICONIC BASS RIFFS BY (with TABS)
#Slipknot #OverloadGuitars

[@alexandrevenner3549]

It's realy sad that the most special riff made by Paul Grey is now forgotten. Do Nothing (Bitchslap) is the only song where you can hear Paul Grey Slap n Pull.

[@DannArisi]

I take note for the next compilation man, thanks 😉

[@alexandrevenner3549]

Can't blame you... The album Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. Has totaly vanished from history. Since this album is from the time before Corey Taylor and considered as Demo album, Wikipedia barely know about that album. Plus, most of the track have been rearange to fit other big song. Only Do Nothing (Bitchslap) has never been rearange.

[@nellyboi3043]

I don’t think there’s any way to reinvent that song into the current Slipknot sound the way they did with most of the songs off MFKR without it being incredibly jarring. I do wish they’d re-release it though, maybe as a Paul Gray tribute, because it’s a great song, just more of a Mr Bungle/Primus influenced thing than a modern Slipknot song.

[@Idyliss_Official]

Guess you mean Paul Gray?

[@alexandrevenner3549]

@@Idyliss_Official Sorry... I'm human and mistake is my name

[@paradigmshiftz7]

Fuck, that tone is GODLY. As well as the playing, dont get me wrong you nailed it

[@DannArisi]

Thanks a lot 🤘🔥

[@christify3418]

The secret is the fanned frets, if you look inside a piano you’ll see the lower notes have a longer string than the higher notes so that the lower notes get more clarity, same logic goes here as you can see that the low b is a lot longer than the high g which makes it sound ten times better/clearer

[@renhonda8859]

@@christify3418 i always thought they were just a looks thing! thats super cool!

[@Litche]

His playing is great but I honestly really dislike the tone There’s so much bass in it and it sounds so artificial But then again it’s all opinion.

[@V3xxe]

That Surfacing riff will always be an absolute bastard 😂 nice work! EDIT: This also made me realise two things. First, that I take the tempo fluctuations in Slipknot songs for granted. Second, that Nero Forte is basically a djent song.

[@Swoldemort500]

I've commented on one of your videos before about it but mother of God your tone is amazing.

[@SLIPKNOT_BASSIST]

That was amazing bro and that killer sound OMG 👏🏾🙌🏾👌

This is the only youtube channel that puts slipknot tabs well, thanks excellent.

Loving the Optimus Primus bass tone man, for real

[@bigpenisparker9930]

bro i’ve never seen all hope is gone talked about in one of these videos i fucking love the song and most the songs from that album great video btw great picks

[@MauriceMaaskant]

Amazing! The sound is great!🥰

Thanks 🙏

[@nostromoalien2]

Bro you’ve got some serious technique in those fingers. Very tight rhythms

[@black0ut133]

Great bass sound

[@iplaybass6690]

Love the Achilles bass...so tight and a tone monster! I bet its so much lighter than my LTD 6 string that comes in at just under 15 pounds :( Great video!

[@nickc173]

Excellent montage!

Sooo good ❤️

Crazy 🔥

I still can't get over how much skill it takes to finger these riffs, I would struggle to even pick some of these lol

Dude the Tone of your Bass is HEAAAAVY !!

[@user-xd7qm5fz7t]

Мощь!!!

[@DamianPendragon]

One thing I could never figure out when attempting these sort of bass tones... Is the mids boosted or scooped? It's beautiful. Fantastic playing too

[@danielcorrigan8805]

Both. Some mids like 500 are cut. Other Mids like 1k, or 250 are probably boosted.

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

Haven't seen so many zeroes since I last checked my bank accounts

[@DannArisi]

So you're kinda lucky man XD

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

Just curious - what drums are you using here? Sounds amazing!

[@ERRA444]

Damn dude! that some sick ass chunk tone! I'll eat that for breakfast!

[@findtheway47]

So heavy and sick 🤟 love your bass sound

[@st.anatolitis]

Great! Loved the compensation for not recording the albums with a click.

[@matthewcouvillion252]

I've never heard the bass in a slipknot song

[@captainclingerman5158]

The shape has a only part and you can hear it in the beginning of surfacing

[@user-oi6kt5lg5k]

I would recommend you using a good audio system

[@alloounou6900]

From my limited experience with their music, their bass has a lot of low end rumble and follows fairly close to the guitar. They, also, don't play with much flair and choose to repeat just the right notes when they aren't riffing with the guitar.

[@thatonedude3644]

Simply crank the bass to max

[@SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14]

Stop using your airpods and get some proper headphones then

[@wolfmarci]

I really love it and would like to play some of these. Could I ask what tuning are you in? Because I didn't see that anywhere and I'm not sure if they have a special tuning. And also what note is the 5th string? Thanks!

[@SomeRandomPangolin]

Slipknot on a 5 string sounds so badass!

[@fabrizzioporto8398]

Bass w finger is crazy

[@maciejkania6597]

Fantastic playing! What brand of strings set do you use here?

[@DannArisi]

Sansone strings

[@xSyNx2000]

Awesome work,hoping for a part2! What's the tuning?

[@DannArisi]

Drop B if I remember correctly XD

[@miningpro362]

most of their songs are drop b but some (like psychosocial and til we die) are drop a

[@excalle]

Wow what a sick sound ! What do you use to have so much "roar" in your bass tone ?

[@DannArisi]

Thanks! That's the Parallax by Neural DSP 🔥

[@justus4684]

Can you do a video on your tone👀 Thanos clank

[@xNachtmahRx]

Love this bass sound. I am more into technical dm but there is this trend of having these farting warm bass sounds compared to your nice, clacky, metallic sound. Every bass should sound like in this video imo

[@tayinrivera886]

Personally I want a tone like this but slightly warmer, it’s a bit too punchy and I like a little more sustain and warmness but this is the far and away the closest to the tone I want by anyone who puts out content like this

[@DannArisi]

Thanks a lot 🙏🙏

[@animosiity]

Hehehe farty bass ..

[@inthenightsideeclipse4677]

Death metal often uses this overdriven rather than having lots of fuzz and dirt. What are you even talking about

[@SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14]

Every bass? I don't think Paul McCartney or Charles Mingus would sound good with this tone lmao

[@kenopsia9013]

please show the pedals you used in this video

[@marshi3279]

Vermilion has also very good bassline :D

How did you get the tone I can’t find it ? Please

[@dmytronazarenkov4842]

Awesome video, but why you didn't include Confession? As for me it's the best from Paul Gray

[@DannArisi]

Thanks for your feedback, may include it in a second version 😉

[@SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14]

Because nobody except massive Slipknot nerds even know that album exists probably

[@Bassgangvt]

As soon as I learned how to use 3 fingers, inspired by John myung, devil in I was the first thing I tried

[@jeanlessisjeanless992]

This is truly good, but. Opium of the People should've been on here man. Not to death down or anything, this is a great list, but during the chorus parts near the end Paul does this mini solo that's just so good.

[@flayedder6471]

How do you get that sound?

[@thatonedude3644]

Was looking for Iowa, the shape, or custer. This was more like bass riffs from iconic songs.

[@DannArisi]

Yes you can surely see it like that 😉🤘 hope u appreciate it anyway

Achilles by Overload Guitars 🔥

[@mattreilley6957]

All hope is gone is the real hand killer every time I play it the down picking is wild there’s a reason it was only played Live once in its existence they had a hard time just playing through that song they always play faster live and they tried it with all hope is gone bad idea they almost train wrecked it lol another underrated Knot Song Gematria (The Killing Name), This Cold Black, and Where the Lies Continue . These songs are badass and they never even play them😕

[@ll_kos]

Look at live version of the song All hope is gone. If you look closely on Paul's hand, he plays only 2 notes at intro. I think he doesn't play that technically on the recording

[@ll_kos]

@@mattreilley6957 i think it was something like 2-2-2-3-3-3-0. 2-2-2-3-3-3-0. Because he played without a little finger

Is confessions not worthy of a mention?

[@user-eq8wc3ye7l]

I think this states ‘guitar’ picks fair enough

[@WHOREHOUSEFR]

Why 5 string ?

[@WHOREHOUSEFR]

@@dotcom_dotau8510 TBH I don't know. Slipknot songs are played in drop B and Drop A on 4 string

With a 5 string you can play most of their songs on standard tuning

Epic! Question "Why you need five strings bass" is closed.

[@DeadBuddy01]

Iconic? Orly? Need to check the dictionary..

[@olaff4223]

After watching your Pantera video and not wanting to torture my ears with this one, I'm guessing you have a ton of distortion on your bass and you use that to try and cover how sloppy you're playing.

Ok 👍
