Bass Teacher REACTS to MUDVAYNE - "Not Falling" (Official Video)

[@pablokenner618]

Severed from LD 50 is a must!

[@mattschemmer3091]

Such a great bassline on that song

[@jameserickson7484]

100% agree. Also one of my most favorite Mudvayne songs.

[@buriedsun6432]

And the legendary bassline brrr brrr deng

[@ianstrickland5280]

pharmacopeia as well.

[@shaunp5033]

This 100%

[@blaynemcguire7573]

If you like the bass front songs you gotta check out World so Cold. Absolutely beautiful bass writing on that song

[@billcoley4426]

Came here to recommend this. Awesome bass in this song.

[@mikebrueggman6666]

It's definitely a song that indicates how their future (post EoA) sound would go. Ryan's probably the most clever with his bass parts he gets on that song for a while

[@TonyTheLoneRiderSmith]

Just not the music video

[@mikemelara9591]

Yes world so cold was the first mudvaybe song I picked up as a bass player and tried to learn. Then I got on not falling… after picking up and learning it I was much more confident as a bass player and was able to explore more technique and sounds eventually.

[@FantasySportsZen]

That's my favorite song by them. Such a banger.

[@shawntaylor7442]

Had the pleasure of seeing Mudvayne in their early days. Ryan is amazing to see live. "Severed" from LD 50 has always been a favorite and it has great lines. Crazy drop tuning for the guitar, I'm the bass does as well 🤙

[@mbw0826]

I saw them this year and he is still amazing to watch. maybe the most over-looked bassist in metal history.

[@ZeroHero-33]

Same. I saw them in Dallas years ago. The most memorable part was looking up on the balcony and seeing Vinnie Paul watching the show... Rip to a legend 🙏

[@feosTAS]

SEVERED! Super complex song with unique vibe and very creative bass melodies!

[@zekt976]

Love this tune. The simple switch from single notes to chords on the chorus get me every time

[@Mal3ficarum]

Ghost Ship, IYKYK 🤘

[@entertheshadowplay]

That's where I found this song when I was like 11 :D

[@KowProdMedia]

best intro to a horror film ever. that build up is intense.

[@majortom7038]

That’s where I was introduced to it.

[@GabrielFlaten]

you should be listening to the actual album version. this is the radio version that cut like 30 sec out of it.

[@derekcampbell6291]

I thought the end sounded odd.

[@SkryknoW]

Yeah, it cuts most of the bridge out too, which has some a sweet build-up.

[@dembuck610]

And sweet bass playing in the stuff that was cut

[@shadowhawk3790]

Aww I think I’m gonna cwy 🥺😒

[@brianmcmillan1240]

Out to pasture from self titled, don't believe anyone has done anything off that album,we appreciate the great work and respect,ty so much

[@MrEcaliche]

that's sooo true!!! I have not seen anyone covering that album

[@MaGnAtA7]

🔥

[@tres909]

Their best album, IMO. It will always be my favorite and the most complex

[@maz_jamz]

The bass solos in patient mental and perversion of a truth r beautiful

[@LS1Highwind]

Patient Mental is my favorite song on the album. I fucking love playing and listening to that song. 🤘

[@maz_jamz]

When he starts slapping the low end to the verse riff before solo I lose it

[@AdrianGamingLP]

I’m probably in the minority but I think Perversion of a Truth is their best if not one of their best songs.

[@maz_jamz]

@ always loved how it’s straight in to verse 1 from the jump.

[@jay-remedy-plz]

Great album. Glad to see you visiting this one.

[@nickbarrett3163]

Your comment about Ryan's 300-400 Hz jogged a memory. They did something kind of interesting when they were recording the bass on this album. As well as recording Ryan's normal bass enclosures, their producer, Dave Bottrill, ran Ryan's bass through one of Greg's Mesa guitar cabinets to help bring out more of that midrange.

[@deankilminster5430]

I've seen them play this live in 2008 and it was amazing. They sound just as awesome in person.

[@dingleberryhandpump802]

IMN from Lost and Found is a favorite of mine, Ryan does some really cool stuff in that one.

[@GFHC406]

Im a dummy bassist, but I'm pretty sure he strums that short set of minor chords with Greg in the chorus. They show it way more in the other "alien" music video they did for this song. Its done in his signature showmanship-y style and he strums it on the neck. Unfortunately that video seems to only be available in like 240p:/ But its my favorite part of the song. I absolutely love jangly, clanky bass tones. Lol. But great analysis and breakdown as always dude! Love yer style! 3rd edit: if you're interested, the channel The Pirate Bass does an incredible cover of this one

[@Ofthelineofeld19]

Great reaction and breakdown man, your face when you listen to Ryan is so rapt and happy, its fun to watch. Keep up the great work and keep exploring Mudvayne.

[@mjvajda]

My favorite Mudvayne song and the song that got me into the group. I swear Ryan is one of the most underrated bassists in metal/hard rock. Likewise, Ryan and Matt (the drummer) are an underrated rhythm section in the genre as well. Both are very technical and precise. I love Matt’s drum patterns and grooves.

[@teamfingahs4907]

End Of All Things To Come 9/10 album for sure!

[@luzbossio5704]

10/10

[@Qliphirot]

Mercy, Severity is my favorite song from it.

[@ArturoM6661]

Such a great song ​@@Qliphirot

[@shanekelley8851]

LD 50 is one of very few albums that I can listen to from start to finish without skipping a single track. Ryan is so fun to watch live. Saw them when this album came out. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him! Dude is wild on stage! One of the greatest bassist out there. Definitely doesn’t get enough recognition in my opinion.

[@Deetroiter]

-1 (negative 1) on LD50 is wild. The drums, the bass, vocals, guitar…the whole nine yards. The bass is a major standout for sure…in regards to this track, I’ve always been blown away by how the drums and bass play into one another. Just truly dynamic…it’s really busy but at the same time it fits relaxingly well

[@bigbadbavers]

I'm here for the metal analysis! Love your work

[@jasons9564]

I see you have some new wall art. Congrats, dude!

[@LS1Highwind]

Not Falling has been and always will be one of my favorite Mudvayne songs to play. Ive loved this song since day 1 and it hasnt faded one bit.

[@acid_kru]

OUT TO PASTURE! Probably not a popular one from the Mudvayne album but the bass line on it would make for a fantastic listen and analysis. It's my personal favorite from that album.

[@Mr_jz_12]

Underrated song. Was also used on the movie "ghost ship" which was also underrated.

[@JohnB-nq4js]

Not sure if anyone cares but this is a radio edit, so a couple of abbreviated sections (intro and bridge). And what's the time signature in the verse? 2 bars of 4/4 and a bar of 2/4? Great tune!

[@JonnyRottenn__]

The bridge part is basically all chords and tritones before the final chorus. Check out the album version to hear most of it, it’s a pretty great build up.

[@BLGsampler]

If you want something from one of Mudvayne's later albums, you should do a listen and study on "A New Game" from their 4th album, The New Game. That shines as far as Ryan's playing IMO.

[@cariocathezuca]

you should check out "Severed" from L.D. 50 and "IMN" from Lost and Found. 2 great songs with a badass Bass!

[@plebb2991]

You have to do IMN. The bass part is AMAZING in that

[@aaronholland9413]

Fun fact. They recorded Ryan Martinie's right hand with a shotgun mic on LD 50. The production on that by GGGarth was glorious. Sat with him for hours and talked about it.

[@JeffreyDuncan-f5j]

Really appreciate the Ryan Martinie material.

[@philthyphil7651]

There's a behind the recording video of the guitar player and drummer trying to explain the rhythms of this song

[@gwarriorfromhell]

This is just one of like 4 different videos they made for this song. They had the original one, the ghost ship one, and I'm pretty sure they had 2 other variations of the video as well. Great song, great album, hope to see them live someday.

[@420slayer3]

I love how you're always listening to good bands like Primus and Mudvayne.😎🤘

[@PSYCHOBABAYAGA]

L.D. 50 is just a must. The entire album is just amazing 💯❤💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rad171500]

Definitely check out Silenced from this album and Severed from LD50

[@the-pokeman7534]

Ryan is best bass player I've ever heard dudes a 🐐

[@justinbrooks6502]

Forget to Remember is a great one of their later offerings that was popularized from its presence on the Saw soundtrack. It's from Lost and Found, so the bass isn't mixed as high as I'd like it, but Ryan has some great melodies that really carry the song. Separately, I'd be really interested in hearing you do some more Incubus breakdowns with their original bass player, Dirk Lance aka Alex Katunich! I think he was a big inspiration for all of the people our age.

[@stoicoutrider2788]

There was a bassist on YT many years ago who did a wonderful bass cover of Not Falling. Just went to look it up, his name is Andrew Battah and it's a video from 16 years ago, so it's gonna look like it's from 16 years ago, but the sound is still great. Def give it a listen.

[@andrewmcbride88]

"a key to nothing" from their TEOATTC album has some really awesome bass work!

[@ottostiefel4907]

I loce seeing you do Mudvanye because it reminds me how much I them. Especially this album and Ryan's tone.

[@descantinginsalubrious]

The first two Mudvayne albums are BY FAR the only two of their records I can still listen to now. LD 50 and The End... are really interesting and way less typical "heavy rock" that they end up veering into.

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

This is one of my favorite MUDVAYNE songs

[@MrSchism]

One of their underrated, but more accessible singles is called Determined. Still incredible bass playing.

[@Felsep06]

The second verse is my all time favorite bass line

[@ZVvereVvolf]

I remember waking up one morning to get ready for school. Some time in High School... I'd always get up and have breakfast while watching music videos on MTV. They would always drop new videos in the morning and the video for "Dig" came on. I was like... "Fuckin' great... here we go with another face paint band."... I listened anyways and and was completely blown away by Ryan's playing style and sound. Been a fan ever since.

[@patricehoule1885]

Really interesting ! So much knowledge, so insightful. Thank you! Just finished YYZ, What a difference in sound next to each other. Love it!

[@LowEndUniversity]

Glad it was helpful!! 🙏🏼

[@ZeroHero-33]

I remember downloading this album on my PSP and watching it about 100 times. Id run around showing anyone who would watch 😂

[@FamineWolf]

Yay! My recommendation! Love the channel, homie 😊

[@SayKyleNotCow]

Gotta do Severed. Also, “Grab ‘Em By The Pyongyang” by Nuclear Power Trio is a must as well.

[@shaunp5033]

Severed is still one of my all time favourite songs

[@The_TooKings]

Love your videos! great pick of songs always! I'd request some Corrosion Of Conformity! Mike Dean is easily one of my favorite bass players, he recently left the band to work on his own stuff! But i'd love to see your breakdown on his work, as to which song that's a tough choice for me, Albatross is easily one of their most popular songs, Bass wise tho Born again for the last time is probably my fave

[@zenzenzen4741]

Ryan Martinie, the lone man who helped Warwick sell more Thumb basses than any other artist!

[@ncwolfe]

First, I agree with other people saying you need to hear the album version, but second, I have never seen a video that clearly shows him playing this, so I've watched some covers on YT. You might want to check some of them out because it's truly an amazing piece and when you see how much work he's doing it'll only increase your appreciation for Ryan (and the people who manage to play it as well).

[@MarkWhorror138]

I love your show and explanation on everyone’s techniques and song writing but I would like to know if you would ever do an interview with players like Ryan or any others and ask about their songwriting approach and techniques they’ve learned along the way. Thanks keep the awesome work

[@LowEndUniversity]

I will be. 😎

[@andydub1271]

Always loved the galloping bass lines of Helloween: could you review one of their song? Twilight of the Gods and Eagle Fly Free being my favourites

[@TheVexdOne]

Matt and ryan are the tightest rhythm section ever!

[@jpados]

Once again I highly recommend mercy severity, you won’t regret it! One of the songs that inspired me to pick up the bass \m/

[@deloriablackwolf1251]

Still asking for Cinderella Story. Jazzy as heck.

[@andrewmcbride88]

"Everything and nothing" and "severe" from LD 50, PLEASE!

[@AStupidTourist]

Ryan is a fkn beast

[@CarAudioObsessions]

Ryan Martinie is a beast

[@Jerbear0506]

Please watch some of their live performances from their DVD “All Access to All Things” or “Live Dosage 50”!!!

[@megadeth8592]

love this album

[@originalname9999]

You need to check out Soften The Glare. Ryan Martinie in a jazz funk and moments of heavy stuff.

[@sephiroth7818]

@3:30 he does that with his other band, Soften The Glare. Those two guys are old school rockers and then you throw Ryan in.

[@jasperalmoore]

One element that I loved in LD50 is the way that the guitar and bass are almost EQd in the same range, so they can harmonize and even trade places in the traditional bass/guitar dynamic. When Ryan slides up the neck, Greg's rhythm guitar still fills out the low end really well. I felt like they lost some of that on their subsequent albums. Greg's guitar lives more in the mid-range, and Ryan more in the lows, post LD50.

[@Pentakr1st]

Awesome job breaking this down Now you got to do some tunes from their New Game and self-titled albums. Dull Boy, Do What You Do, Same Ol, or All Talk (they don’t have a video for that one but it’s a good song from their later catalog)

[@bassimprovjams3772]

You could go to the self titled album and check out “ out to pasture” that bassline is soo good!! That’s their last album or “ A new game” and check out “ Cinderella story” 🤘🤘

[@mikemelara9591]

World so cold or mercy severity should be the next mudvayne track that you hit up.

[@jimmykrastz9898]

Severed from LD 50 is a master piece!

[@Page5King]

The song Pharmacopeia by them off LD50 is masterclass.

[@MichaelDBurns1]

This album is the best!

[@jonathanc309]

Beautiful and Strange has a loud bass, you will check it out

[@lostinalbion4223]

Such a kick-ass song.

[@papathopulos360]

You should check out Nothing to gein and everything and nothing from L.D. 50.

[@savaisakovic3857]

Respect, professor!

[@MetalMMan]

So on LD 50 he originally recorded with a 4 string in drop B but would eventually play with a 5 string while having the higher strings still in drop B On The End Of All Things To Come he would bring back that 4 string in drop C And them on Lost and Found and thought the rest of his career he'd have a 5 String or a plethora of 5 Strings in G standard

[@1bulletaway]

No. LD50 was recorded in drop B and he tuned with the top string down to F. Then they went up to drop C with the top string being G, GCGCF. 4 string being CGCF. There’s a handful of songs on their last album that are even lower, maybe A. But 98% of Mudvayne has been drop C.

[@skunkbudzrus]

Known forever LD 50 bad ass bass rift to

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

Such a good song. Ryans melodic playing is more akin to lead guitar. Id love to see you react to Ghosts by Big Wreck.

[@kersedxx]

do the album, the whole thing is a treat

[@Meet_Me_In_The_Pit]

Perversion of a truth has to be one of the most gorgeous yet technical basslines ryan has written besides death blooms and since u already covered death blooms its time for perversion of a truth

[@regentrex7735]

You should check out some Coal Chamber. Similar sort of style

[@jamesfrankiewicz5768]

Educated guesswork here, but the track sounds to me like they probably recorded using a 4x12" or 4x10" bass cab with a center tweeter and two microphones (one over a woofer, one over a tweeter), with the mix only bringing in the tweeter mic over the chorus.

[@liviofraschetti4713]

great album !!! produced by Dave bottrill ,he also worked with king crimson

[@robsantorobass]

Great video man! You should definitely check out Under My Skin from L.D. 50.

Would love to see you do Mastadon's bass lines

[@terryfabulous4702]

Hey man great video. Have you checked out the band Chat Pile? I’m no bass player so it may not be that interesting but it sounds cool. Frownland and Funny Man from the new album might be fun.

[@adriancole9681]

Love Chat Pile! New album is killer.

[@descantinginsalubrious]

AGREED. I hope Mark sees this. Frownland, Funny Man, Pamela..so many good tracks. Stin is self -taught and has KILLER tone.

[@FallChildsin13]

You should check out Shadows Fall - Thoughts Without Words, Paul Romanko is a bassist all should see and hear play.

[@allanmautino9338]

If you really want to analyze the way Ryan plays bass, you need to watch the live 2003 summer sanitarium performance of this song

[@damag3plan]

I literally found this channel last week and thought "I hope he does my fave MV song at some point" I knows nothing about music just knows what I likes 🤙

[@RyanGriffiths-r9k]

Have you done s pixies song yet? The band that inspired Kurt Cobain. If not the songs Hey; Debaser; Gouge Away

[@RyanGriffiths-r9k]

All those good

[@mountaverage2706]

@@RyanGriffiths-r9k Yes although while Gouge Away is a great song, I don't think it'd be much of an interesting song to anlalyze the bass for. Debaser and Hey are better choices.

[@RyanGriffiths-r9k]

@@mountaverage2706 i thought same thing about gouge away when I first wanted to suggest songs. I didn't (and still don't) know why. Yet it's ranked the best bass of the pixies. I think it's the rhythm count over the notes. I definitely agree that Hey is the best pixies song for this channel For record: Planet of sound, debaser and gigantic, hey, gougue away top five

[@RyanGriffiths-r9k]

Although debaser more pixies bass sound in general

[@BLeeFAFO]

Wave of Mutilation UK Mix is the GOAT.

[@GD-gv5xw]

If you get a chance, check out live in Peoria 2001, it is the whole reason why I decided on bass. Ryan is a beast and Mudvayne is sorely underrated

[@Jcikokalol]

What that the (l)I've (d)Osage 50 DVD when they went back to Peoria? Opened with -1 and played the whole ld 50 album? I had that DVD amd it kills me I cant find it. One od the. Est luve concerts on DVD that was ever made. Was a huge fan before, but that concert made me appreciate them so mych more. The nothing to gein outro was so heavy
