Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know (Bass Cover) (Play Along Tabs In Video)

[@CoverSolutions]

BECOME A PATRON TO GET SONGS/TABS: www.patreon.com/coversolutions Played originally by Flea, so that's why there's many Flea style phrases. Quite complex, maybe improvised. Did my best with the transcription. Let me know if you have any question!

[@Mart687]

Flea did the bass lines on the studio album. But he's not in the video of this song and I don't think he toured with the band either. They probably just asked him and he did. I'm guessing the bass line for the studio version was recorded in a couple of days. It's full of improvisation and it's got Flea's signature all over it. You can hear it's him. Complex like he's slipping in tiny solo's that change. But nice job on the cover. Sounds great.

[@kinopravdaa]

Your whole tuning is sharp! Not in tune, man.

[@iliketrains3495]

The guy who played the bass on this song is great, I reckon if he started a band it would be hugely successful

Its Flea from RHCP

The Badassery of this song is the bass... that's what ties it together for me! Above and beyond for me to actually see someone play it! NAILED IT!

[@davidscothern8513]

Possibly the most honestly venomous furious vocals of any song I know. Wild bassline too. Thankyou for the cover.

Flea recorded the original bass track by the way, for those who may not know

[@johnpaulclarkson4671]

You can tell its got more balls than the other bass lines

[@Lance37a]

Dave Navarro is playing guitar as well.

[@stefaansleroux9555]

I actually didn't know that, thanks for the info🔥🔥

[@blewyd]

@@Lance37a dont forget about Taylor Hawkins on drums! Rest his soul

[@christianparsons6050]

@@blewyd Actually he’s not on the record itself , but certainly in the band for the tour that followed it…God rest his soul indeed😔

[@sobasicallydude]

apparently when flea originally recorded this, the producer said that he was wayyyyyy off time. thank god that the producer was able to craft it to perfection and give us this badass bassline

[@BrandonMobley614]

Fun fact: the Jagged Little Pill touring band was Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Jesse Tobias (RHCP briefly), and Chris Cheney (current bassist of Jane's Addiction). Their live performances were a little more energetic than the drum machines on the record.

[@suikogarden]

Yeah, but this is Flea on bass and Dave Navarro on guitar which have made the song so awesome.

[@mcsuibhne005]

I sincerely doubt they'd use drum machines on her record. It would be much more hassle (and cost )to program them for this song than to get a session musician. Where did you hear this?

[@mcsuibhne005]

I've just checked some guy called Matt Laug played drums on the record track.

[@MrClassicmetal]

@@mcsuibhne005 Yes, Laug played drums on a few tracks including this one. A drum machine was used on tracks 4, 7, 8, and 11.

[@alistairhackney]

Except the bass on this is Flea - RHCP.

[@kevintaylor791]

That song is masterclass in what basslines are. Sometimes the song needs you to be funky AF, sometimes straight 1/8 notes are all you need, and understanding that there are are bars where you aren't needed at all. Flea shows you how to do all 3 in one song. Bloody brilliant.

[@davidmfass]

Never realized this song had such a funky bass line!

[@longlivethetastyhills5153]

I originally learnt this song in E standard, hearing it in another (probably the correct) tuning makes me want to learn it all over again. Thanks for another great video and cover!

[@stevebadachmusic]

I saw a live clip from 95 and it was hard to make out the guitar position, but I could clearly see the bassist was in standard tuning (playing a 5 string)

[@ErikNonIdle]

I believe the record is actually in F#, half a step down from the video. Of course, he may have his bass tuned down a half-step to play in "G". I haven't checked.

[@federicoschneider2215]

Excelente maestro como todos sus videos, la verdad que con usted puedo apreciar todos los arreglos que no se escuchan en los temas originales.... gracias de verdad por compartir su arte.🙂

[@Moniszta]

I've always been impressed with that bass line. I always thought it was impossible for me to play it. Today I would say "take that bass out of its case and rock out. It's doable! 😮". But also thanks for the video, it is a big help in learning new, challenging things.

[@DrTWG]

When a bass line really makes a song . Funky class !

[@bussy6884]

WHAT A PHENOMENAL BASS LINE

[@JohnLorenz-p6b]

Such a heartfelt song. I remember hearing it for the first time. And that bass line (funk) doesnt belong in that song, but it works, and the song wouldn't work without it........

[@Guitarmonade]

I have been well aware of how cool this bassline was, but I just put it together how that double-stop pop comes right after the lines "It was a SLAP in the face..." Very clever, Flea.

[@davidmfass]

If I could play with that kind of precision, I could make something of myself! Honestly, you play it way cleaner than Flea does. (You can find the isolated bass track on youtube.) But his version is great too.

[@michaelguarino7834]

There’s just no one else like Flea. ❤

[@Ewhit-je3os]

I asked for this a year ago and I’m so happy that it came out!

[@JohnMatayas]

Alanis truly was the fucking songbird of the 90s

[@espsir]

How interesting is it that I looked up this song after watching an Overly Sarcastic Productions video on Oresteia and found out that the bass part was banger and you happened to upload this cover just now!

[@TheGeordieBassist]

Loved the Jagged Little Pill album 👍

[@hillem97]

Amazing. Can’t waitttt

[@druidmeats]

Please more Morisette! The bass lines rock.

[@Shepherd492]

Great cover of a great song! Always found this to be an interesting piece because there's so much funky experimentation/improv in the verses but then it's mostly straight quarters in the chorus. Bit of a weird juxtaposition but very cool. One of Flea's best.

[@soy.zombie6197]

Ive wanted to learn this for a while but never got around to so I'll definitely give it a try now. Awsome covers as usual!

[@SolitaireG]

Great tab! One of my favorite Flea bass lines ever. Have you ever tried "Mommy, Where's Daddy?" - gorgeous slinky sexy early days RHCP

[@timmedeiros7581]

Solid cover. Sounds great.

[@spice9437]

Can you do "Never say die" - Black Sabbath, next?

[@blackiesun]

Become a patron and you can have all the songs you want. It says it at the beginning of the video. Seems fair to me.

[@manuelmachadocastro1949]

Ayer ví un documental en dónde comenta Alanis que el bajista de esa época estaba metido en el jazz y lo convocaron por error a la audición de la banda... Eso explica un poco las líneas de bajo de ese disco y al final fue un acierto equivocarse al llamarlo

[@toddk8114]

I’m not taking anything away from this cover. I think it’s very good. I’m talking about the original recording

[@leticiastar30]

IMPRESSEDDDD

[@TheJurzerker]

I watched this, going to play along, just played the whole thing i standard tuning and i think its quite a bit easier that way, and easier to riff, you miss like one Eb at the end of a couple choruses but besides that i dont know why youd go to the trouble to retune mid set if you were covering this

[@Vigilante311]

1:14 is so great

[@parisrowe4569]

How does bro get that godly bass tone?!

[@stephenbennett1643]

Great cover i'm going thru this on standard E tuning ! I hope this was improvised as it doesn't sound as complex as your version listening to the song ? Either way brilliant 👌 it's back to the fret board for me 🎸

I like the bass but I really believe (not to compare) someone like Entwistle or Squire could have given this a bit more of a melodic sound which would have blended in more with the guitar

[@jakeh3144]

The bass line fucking rips on this song

[@francoisguerette]

Quebec

[@shukuflen]

Israel's son pls

[@lazzer408]

Is his tune too high or it just me?

[@robjgolde3221]

Given the topic of the song, this bassline sounds like an argument with the vocals. Not with the melody but with Alanis and the lyrics themselves. Like the bassline in the verses/pre-chorus is the guy (possibly Dave Coulier?) trying to get a word in but Alanis’ words just steamroll him until the chorus hits and he gives in and admits that he’s a POS

[@ecBass]

Why you detune the bass bro, it's harder to play it... 🙃 Good job anyway.... 🤟

[@bmrmel]

FYI you figured this out well but you are a half step low. Should be in F# not G. =)

[@kevinconnor6035]

He is playing in F#. His bass is down-tuned. Check out the graphic at the beginning of the video. Right at the top.

[@bmrmel]

@@kevinconnor6035 the song is not recorded a half step low is my point, excuse me for not saying that. =)

[@ericgisclon8122]

Maybe i m stupid I m a simple "guitarist" since longtime and sometimes bassist but the song is in F# m in my ear So I wil play dorian F# this song but not in half tone above (G).

[@kevinconnor6035]

The image at the beginning shows that he has the bass tuned down a half-step, so he's playing in F#m too. Not sure why he's downtuned, but either way. It's F#.

[@arcanehornet]

Flea desperately trying to play melodically in the verse, while the song keeps droning on the same chord is really hard to listen to..

[@RayPaganJr]

Unfortunately, I’d have to listen to AM sing in order to learn this song. Yeah…no, I just can’t.

[@pgpete]

Worst.Tone. Ever.

[@ronniefrown3458]

Overplayed to be honest.

[@TFEnright5]

Great bass line but incredibly whiny lyrics.

[@arcanehornet]

Yeah, it sounds like a generic early 2010’s pop song..
