Anthax's Frank Bello on Bass Technique

His biggest tip: don't get ripped off. You know when you're getting ripped off. Frank suggests repetition; it's how he learned Rush's Free Will, Anthem, and Black Sabbath's Neon Knights, which he actually got to ask Geezer Butler about parts he was getting tripped up on. If you don't have the opportunity to ask your favorite bassist how to play their parts, Frank praises KZbin for tutoring.
At 7:45 he explains a bit of technique in Got the Time, and how to steady your hits.

Really great speaker, teacher and player.

[@RotnRoll77]

Man, I'd love to go to one of these clinics. Frank seems like a cool dude, and his tone and style are all kinds of awesome.

[@RotnRoll77]

I'm from Pittsburgh. It's rare that anything like this even comes around Pennsylvania, and if they do, it's usually Philadelphia.

[@RatRaceTV]

God what a insanely good bass player. I wish I had just 10% of his skill

[@dedalus6982]

Cool guy xtra points for being a Rush fan!

[@skiphoffenflaven8004]

Been working on Mosh a lot lately. Great exercise!

[@creamysauce7966]

how is it going? How do you develop finger stamina? Do you use two or three fingers?

[@Spartzi]

Does anyone know if he uses any pedals? His bass tone is absolutely killer!!

[@syracuse6651]

All Hartke tone dialed in is all

[@floriankollmann704]

Thomas Schenk he uses sansamp bddi and ebs multi comp

[@cookie5455]

He uses a Sansamp tech 21 for some grind occasionally

[@bryanyasuhara2994]

Bello is a badass

[@RotnRoll77]

That sounds awesome, actually! These clinics never come around my area though, which sucks.

[@chavisgrandpa]

Get that baby out of here!

[@valeriotagliaferri2125]

chavisgrandpa you are right, how can you even think about bringing a baby at a rock clinic? Even if Frank Bello is your favourite bass player, you should think about your baby first. Poor baby...

[@arborinfelix]

Those babies are all the Asian child guitarists on KZbin who can play better than everyone else. They start early. Just a week after birth they go to bass clinics by Frank Bello

[@-Harris-]

da basssound kills REALLY my last nerve!!!!

[@CameronOnTheBass]

This is about as good as a Mark Hoppus bass clinic.

[@janfarkas8953]

The difference is that frank bello can play something else that just a root and 5th

[@kingjames6928]

That baby didn't like the sound 😂

[@guitarralaraja]

The problem is that his teacher sucked XD.But lessons are always good to improve.

[@helmzmen]

1:10 god what fucking song is that I can't remember I feel like such a dumb ass

[@rorybass7915]

William Kaloczy limelight by rush

[@RatRaceTV]

Yeah I know right. If I were to meet him Id act like a justin beiber fan girl XDDDD

[@creamysauce7966]

Same lol

[@syracuse6651]

That crowd sucks

[@1BadSavage]

he really isn't keeping proper tempo....thats odd considering how much experience he has.js

[@1977moonchild1]

David Campbell I don't rate Frank Bello at all.. He comes across as a beginner to me.. I'm sure there are better bass players in the crowd.. His timing is very sloppy . He's no Steve Harris or David Ellefson!

[@ixa-3140]

Just shut up bro hes not trying none of you are no where near as good

[@CameronOnTheBass]

He’s definitely not Victor Wooten or Adam Nitti; you know, the typical bass clinic hosts.

[@creamysauce7966]

he rocks
