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

[@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.

[@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

[@zekt976]

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

[@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

[@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

[@jay-remedy-plz]

Great album. Glad to see you visiting this one.

[@feosTAS]

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

[@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.

[@FamineWolf]

Yay! My recommendation! Love the channel, homie 😊

[@teamfingahs4907]

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

[@luzbossio5704]

10/10

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

This is one of my favorite MUDVAYNE songs

[@rad171500]

Definitely check out Silenced from this album and Severed from LD50

[@jasons9564]

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

[@cariocathezuca]

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

[@bigbadbavers]

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

[@deloriablackwolf1251]

Still asking for Cinderella Story. Jazzy as heck.

[@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.

[@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.

[@andrewmcbride88]

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

[@andrewmcbride88]

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

[@shaunp5033]

Severed is still one of my all time favourite songs

[@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

[@dingleberryhandpump802]

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

[@Mr_jz_12]

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

[@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

[@MichaelDBurns1]

This album is the best!

[@plebb2991]

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

[@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.

[@cbrot2001]

I am extremely happy to see this reaction this morning, and I’m only 0:01 second in. LETS GOOOO

[@JackStayPuft]

Severed from LD50 100%. There is no music video and it’s a little longer than some other songs but when I think Mudvayne bass that’s what I think. The lines are so good especially the intro bass line.

[@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).

[@ottostiefel4907]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@philthyphil7651]

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

[@rueburch2856]

I hate to be that guy, but I've heard you use the word "accidental" to refer to outside notes a few times. An accidental just refers to a sharp or a flat. The key of G major has one accidental, as does the key of F major. Notes from outside of the key can either be borrowings from other keys or modes (i.e. an A natural in an otherwise C minor tonality can be a borrowing from C Dorian or C melodic minor, depending on context), or just simply playing "outside". Other than that, I've been digging the videos.

[@LowEndUniversity]

Glad you dig the videos, really appreciate that! Respectfully, that’s incorrect. Also, when looking up the properties of ‘accidentals’, here’s what it reads: “Accidentals alter the pitch of individual scale tones in a given key signature; *the sharps or flats in the key signature itself are not considered accidentals.”* This aligns with the schooling I’ve received. Accidentals step outside of the native key signature briefly, and quickly return when a new theme or phrase is introduced. This is also why when a new bar begins, the accidental can be ignored moving forward, as it’s overwritten by the key signature itself. This overwriting rule implies the short-term nature of accidentals.

[@mikehicks3090]

From L.D. 50; (k)now F(orever). My opinion, the single best song they ever wrote.

[@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)

[@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!! 🙏🏼

[@savaisakovic3857]

Respect, professor!

[@zenzenzen4741]

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

[@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. 😎

[@FallChildsin13]

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

[@Maecmpo]

Hi, please check out The Fall of Reason by Watchtower, this is prog/thrash metal band.

[@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

[@samsonjpedroza]

GREAT VIDEO BRO !!! HAVE YOU HEARD "DEATH BLOOMS" ??? EXCELLENT BASS PERFORMANCE !!!!

[@LowEndUniversity]

Thanks! Yes, I did that one awhile back here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYvadnaMgKtrnpY

[@skunkbudzrus]

Known forever LD 50 bad ass bass rift to

[@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.

[@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.

[@robsantorobass]

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

[@gavinshickle1814]

I'm not really into metal but I really love this album.

[@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.

[@danarchy728]

do the album, the whole thing is a treat

[@zacharymicah]

I learned this on guitar and it is in Drop C, CGCFAD, so Ryan might have his D tuned down to C to match Greg's guitar.

[@Wh33lsofFortune]

You should check out the band Augury from Canada. Absolute top knotch musicianship.

[@upfromtheboginc.6204]

didnt know wolverine played bass .lol you gotta do a video on nuclear power trio, if you havent already. nicks basslines are soo good

[@daveethridge7342]

I think he uses an open C tuning. SVT & 8×10 for bass and treble. Triple Rectifier & 4×12 for mids.

[@tony77723]

suggestion- Kajagoogoo - Too Shy , even f you don't like the song, I think you'll respect the bass in this one

[@doesntexist6148]

They do a really good cover of King of pain. Also dull boy is great

[@zenzenzen4741]

By the way Mark, your Warwick sounds great!

[@aaronburela432]

I clicked so fast when I saw mudvayne. Nice

[@MedalionDS9]

I really enjoy this song by Mudvayne cuz again the super strong and tight musicianship and the prominent bass... this album is kinda like more of LD50 but with better production. Not my preferred version of the music video though... there is another version that is kinda themed after an Alien Abduction.

[@julianrodriguezlopez5272]

Try PDA-Interpol it is awesome

[@dustinwarren395]

do "-1" from their LD50 album

[@implayingsomebass4753]

I think a lot of the bass tone and overall tonal differences come from Dave Bottril being a the helm. Albums he has produced definitely have a particular sound, and personally I think of his work this album and Tool's Lateralus are his best sounding work.

[@christclinger6540]

Ld50 is the best but if you’re looking for a more recent album from them then you should cover the song “dull boy” it’s got a cool bass line in it.

[@natillasinfected]

Severed

[@Hiasl3000]

Hi again. It would be so great to watch a reaction to a German Band...especially Punk. And who are the Godfathers of German Punk? Right...WIZO!!! Please do "Grauer Brei", the first Song of their recent Album "Nichts wird wieder gut" Love your Work ❤

[@gingerfloof777]

I remember a different video for this song.

[@entertheshadowplay]

How about taking a complete U Turn from metal and checking out Atomic by Blondie? Funky dance tune with a cool little bass solo.

[@nosnitsttam]

This video is missing parts of the song. I know you want to watch Ryan play but these videos all have "radio edits" done to them. The middle breakdown is longer on the album. They also have a separate video for this song which was more in line with the sound and vibe of the album. I never saw this one. I can't believe they made this under a month! It's probably my favorite album but sadly the last album of theirs I really liked. They had a few songs later on but as they got more successful their songs became more "radio friendly" and no longer appealed to me who liked the heavier more proggy stuff

[@kandem01]

This wasn't even the original video for this song. The original has them dressed as an alien species ripping themselves out of containment vessels. If I recall, that video has a different sound to it. I believe the audio for this video was re-mixed.

[@beingprovidence]

I was wondering where the aliens went! Always loved this song back in the day, but the mix always felt off for such a big release.

[@jeffzissou2127]

How about The Vandals Oi to the world as a Christmas special. 😉

[@regentrex7735]

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

[@jeffg666]

Custom tuning that allows his unique style to dominate the fretboard. CGCCF

[@Grisu.]

you gotta check out voodoo glow skulls maybe the song shoot the moon

[@leonamongwolves]

Finally

[@subdynoman]

Just subbed...what do you know about LOW end?? Hmmm

[@LowEndUniversity]

Quite a bit. Thanks for the sub!

[@subdynoman]

@LowEndUniversity what do you got in the infrasonic category? I'm in to guitar myself, but also love a good 20hz sinewave...I'm gonna be hooking something up to my car audio system in the near future. Ever experience infrasonics @ 150 Decibels +++

[@tmrogers87]

People love the brbrdeng but this is actually Mudvayne's best song

[@kelcifer6197]

-1 from LD 50 is a good one

[@BathrobeBassist]

Do yourself the favor and check out severed of LD50 or if you wanna do a newer song from them, listen to dull boy.

[@LowEndUniversity]

Seeing a lot of "Severed" comments, definitely haven't heard that one! I think just Dig, Death Blooms, Nothing to Gein, and Pharma-something if I recall.

[@gofigure84]

I like the other original video to this song

[@PRESTIGEworldwide32]

i can play a few mudvayne songs, but i have been trying to get the verses down for this song for a long time. i dont know what it is that trips me up? i dont practice it as much as i should. usually just move on after a little whiile. i dont like to get too stuck on one song. awesome song though. maybe ill get it some day?

[@LowEndUniversity]

You sure will! Keep at it. There's a lot of rhythmic variation in his parts that may feel kind of random at first, but it's really married to the kick drum pattern for a lot of it. It's tough to chase his style down, he's constantly moving. Keep listening and look for any patterns you can across those four chords in the verses!
