Tips And Comments:
- Playing Technique: Played between pickups with middle strength. Just neck pickup at full position. Try mantaining a constant playing motion and not sliding too much, so you get more of a synth vibe.
- Gear Sound: Didn't use any pedals! Just digital processing. First i added a cabinet emulator and split signal in two. For the first one, just clean with some low and high end. Second one has an octaver first in chain (lower octave, and probably high octave can work too), then a fuzz pedal very high in the mix. After that added compression as usual (high compression), stereo chorus, and some eq for scooping some mids and some other little fixings. Really don't know what pedals Chris used, but i think the tone i used resembles enough, for not using any money on it
- About The Song: SWING time is needed. You can search about swing or shuffle time. It's just playing 8th notes (in this case) with a feel of quarter followed by 8th in a triplet feel. After you get that and the octave, you just need some stamina and figure out the little feel almost at the end.

BECOME A PATRON TO GET SONGS/TABS: www.patreon.com/coversolutions Tabs are written in 8th note swing time. That means every pair of 8th notes should be played like a triplet quarter note followed by a triplet 8th note. More info on the internet. Let me know about your questions below! READ THE DESCRIPTION for tone and more.

[@andreashubner8380]

CoverSolutions Do you have any exercise to not hurt your fingers

[@CoverSolutions]

You shouldn't be hurting your fingers. The only feeling you should have is like a stretching or tiredness. Be carefull with that and care for positions. Rest your thumb behind the fretboard and relax

[@MrJohnboy613]

octaves and stamina. i have been playing for 18 years and this tune makes my left hand burn like crazy

[@feist__]

What's an octave?

[@Numberplay]

you know how notes are represented by letters D E F G A B C D E etc. well there's an octave between 2 different Es

[@MrJohnboy613]

Depends if you are in standard tuning your open E is the same note on the 2nd fret of the D string or E2 D4, A7 G9 and so on

[@hyalinamusic18]

As a jazz bassist, I play a lot of swing stuff, so can usually tell that a song is swung. I never realized that this song was swung until today! I love this song, the bass line is super simple, yet very effective.

[@Frankk18pty]

What is swing? (Not stupid, just ignorant)

[@high_storm9735]

@@Frankk18pty it's delaying the second eigth note of the beat to get more groove. in this song you can feel that if you play the note with a metronome it won't sound right.

Honestly, he makes it look so easy 😭

[@terremotoraptor]

why use pinky tho, i have big hands i can do index and the 3d finger easily

[@timehunter9467]

That’s the only thing I don’t like about playing this song, the hand flexing like that kills me 🤦‍♂️

[@Ri-Eul]

i use 3rd string open instead of 2nd string 5th fret, it gives me a bit of a break between riffs. sounds the same. Tbh, i use index and 3rd finger for the notes, even tho im a 15yr old girl with skinny ahh hands and a weak asf pinky. So i just practice stretching between a few frets, and my hands get used to it 🤧

[@TheDutchCreeperTDC]

[@TheBrawlingBrothers]

Amazing how effective just octave is.

[@knightofcydonia2620]

Genius composition

[@konekoray9323]

This is one of those deceptively difficult songs to play. Looks simple on paper, but is hell to play if you do not have the stamina for it. Simply put, I do not. This song doesn't just kill my left hand, it slaughters it and leaves a calling card for the police to find.

[@nicolasestremadoyro9308]

Amen its the different timing on each note, this guy is too good, all three of them

[@davidmoore8397]

Throw in arthritis in the left hand and that's a whole other 'slaughter'!

[@joniversen]

I just tried this on acoustic guitar, and I my left hand is a chewed up carcass after half a song. There goes the Muse coverband dream. And we haven't even gotten to the drums, guitar and excruciating vocals. Oh, and the piano.

[@konungredocsil657]

I love the chords in this song. The g# diminished is awesome sounding.

[@TheDutchCreeperTDC]

The A/C# at the end of the progression too :o

[@timehunter9467]

Not many artists really use sharp/flat chords anymore, even less use major and minor chords too.

[@adrielmendoza4117]

In my Bass class, the teacher asked to select a song to learn during the course and perform at the end of it, and this was the first that came to my mind so thank you for this video :3

F zero as a series is very cool and it has a great soundtrack. I've been trying to find a bass cover of mute city but the super smash bros melee version. Could you play that so I can see how you do it and I can learn the song through tabs? It's "Mute City" in super smash bros melee.

[@tmb8807]

Getting the sound right for this is so much harder than actually playing it. No octaver I’ve tried can track it properly, I have no idea which one Chris uses that makes it so smooth. From the description I’m assuming you added the octave in post.

Economizing your energy is key. Try not making excesive movements, to much raising of the fingers, etc. The other part is just keeping at it man, time will give you the stamina
