Don't let Bellamy's otherworldly falsetto that can split the heavens make you overlook the fact that Muse songs all have incredibly effective bass tracks!

[@kevinvalde]

Los bajos son totalmente aplastantes

[@ikerina]

LOL Yes! When it comes to Muse, I'll always pay attention to the bassline first. Not my fault. I fully blame it on Wolstenholme.

[@sideknee3268]

3:22 that pick is still missing to this day

[@milico2935]

every pick that is dropped has the same fate

[@timotheepetit]

This riff, sure XD

[@justchris6046]

The riff? I smell cap. 😂

those gallops are ridiculous for me at least

[@carrurru]

Try disposable heroes, by Metallica. That song huuuuuurtss.

[@erpatatilla7103]

lol

[@LucasCristofolini7]

I love how the entire bass and guitar parts matches with the concept of the videoclip with the horse galloping

[@josephwashington3328]

I've listened to this song and played this song hundreds of times and never thought of it like that. Thats awesome

[@bizonyx]

song with literally 'Knight' in its title "coincidentally" has galloping guitar/bass riff wow whats next? Four Horsemen from Metallica?

[@LucasCristofolini7]

Adrian Do I really have to explain (even with my comment being really obvious) that I was just stating how perfect the whole concept of the song is? I wasn’t saying this as if I was the first person in the world noticing it. Get your shit together kid

[@verse5981]

@@LucasCristofolini7 holy fuck you killed him

[@LuigiGamesful]

Now that I can hear the bass parts better, I just noticed that the bass and the guitar both have the galloping rhythm to it. All this time I always thought it's only the drums

[@selenicereus]

this is an amazing video, thank you so much!! 0:48 galloping 3:45 pick pluck transition 4:10 hammer on and pull off practices

[@andrewpappas9311]

This has got to be my favourite Muse song to do on guitar, this intro is 2 minutes of awesomeness and is one of Matt Bellamy's best riffs

[@darko714]

I like the outro riff even better.

[@alessandromartini8477]

The solo is the best written by Matt

[@kevinvalde]

Es buena ...tiene subidones épicos y emocionantes, pero decir que es la mejor no lo creo .. la mejor canción siempre será New Born

[@ocin311]

EPIC!!!!! easy enough to learn, hard enough to play straight through for the novice bassist. my forearms are burning.

[@ShuKatashSam]

Try pick for the triplets and then if you can, work on the 3 finger method, ring, middle index(repeated). It'll come in handy later.

[@BeezerGutlr]

@@ShuKatashSam not if you’re steve Harris

[@darko714]

Not easy for me to learn. The technique isn't too hard, but the later part of the intro & the verses don't follow a repeating pattern (that I can discern).

[@TheDutchCreeperTDC]

Everytime I hear this song I get goosebumps of its pure awesomeness. And now I can just learn to play it myself for double goosebumps! Thanks a lot for the tabs, and great cover as always!

[@aqimjulayhi8798]

The 'I came to see tapping' and 'where's the tapping' comments are really annoying. The 'tapping' part isn't even actually a bass guitar, but a synthesizer. This video accurately depicts how the song is ACTUALLY played by Chris. From the galloping/palm muting intro to the actual tablature. I say, this guy is a great bassist!

[@spamsingles5948]

agreed!

[@huseet491]

"Don't waste your time or time will waste you" damn that really struck me

[@louisacford807]

I love how he just flicked the pick away. By the way, what bass is that its lovely

[@johannsson8559]

Its a taurus

[@darko714]

He works the pick with some style, right down to the nifty disposal.

[@deathdoor]

As I always think, the bass volume should be higher.

[@benkruse5533]

specifically this one too

[@arturhenriquebento5878]

Plug in Baby :D

[@timehunter9467]

Bass is probably one of the most underrated parts of songs. You need those root notes somewhere.

[@nigelpisswater484]

every bass player thinks that but actually i think bass sounds best at lower volume because thats its job, its supposed to be the low end to a song.

[@MattDollin]

​@@nigelpisswater484 "Low end" relates to frequency, and not volume. Bass isn't supposed to be quiet.

[@Fragmented_Reflection]

I just played along to this without a pick and it felt like the best exercise ever. Highly recommend!

[@meladeus.7zip]

One of my favourite muse songs

I can’t stop watching this cover, this my favorite song and everything was perfect!You’re super talented, and I’m glad you made this video!!!

[@drazlet]

I love watching your right hand because when you’re not picking or plucking you (subconsciously I’m guessing) keep time really, really well

[@tubadude07]

gotta build up the endurance for the right arm XD

[@ProgrammedForDamage]

For me it's my left (chord) hand. I hyper-extended my thumb years ago and it's never been the same since. It starts the ache badly after a few songs with rapid changes.

[@chicharones9640]

Welp you nailed it. Cheers mate. Been a guitarist my entire life. Just got me a new bass a day ago and this be the first song I’m going to play haha.

[@casertanick]

Reading through to comments is so annoying. "Do the tapping part" yeah the part that isn't played on bass

[@jblakeplays2541]

There's such a thing as synth pedals I'm pretty sure, plus the tapping is honestly one of the most fun parts of the song. In other words, if I played this song live, I would want a synth pedal, as I would want to do the bass tapping part

[@baconstrips6260]

@@jblakeplays2541 Bass synth tapping FTW!!!

[@justindarden5998]

Yes it is

[@szeddezs]

@@jblakeplays2541 Sure it's doable, but Chris Wolstenholme never played the synth part, neither live nor on the album. CoverSolutions plays covers as true to the original as possible.

[@c4gam1ng12]

@@justindarden5998 No, it’s not. Rocksmith is stupid for tricking people into thinking it is. That part is played on a synth. It’s not in the isolated bass track, and Chris doesn’t play it live.

[@lisarodriguez]

As a beginner how are you alternating your picking strokes during the majority of the intros?

[@kat231]

Lisa Rodriguez did you ever figure this out? I’m a beginner and I’m wondering the same

[@extropian506]

It looks like he's downpicking, which I can't do at that speed. lol

[@soobaroo8253]

It's galloping on pick, basically up and down picking but imitating the galloping of a horse.

[@akselsson3221]

Down on the eighth note and down-up on the sixteenth notes. Basically down-down-up motion on the gallops

[@LucasCristofolini7]

04:14 I was able to play that part with an acoustic bass, I’m so proud lol

How can we win? When fools can be kings?

[@ΒασιληςΠαπαδοπουλος-β2γ]

[@mikemee8002]

Βασιλης Παπαδοπουλος Yeah, tbh I got bored of this song, skipped most of it to see if it got any better.

Βασιλης Παπαδοπουλος Συμφωνω

[@gregoryburton5317]

man, you played the shit out of that one!!! nice work!

[@22mlet]

I think that each time its goes from A to Em you play two A instead of two G. Ex: bar 40 ends with 2-0-3 and 41 star with 3-0 -0 but you seem to play 2-0-0 3-0-0. Both seem fine to my ear but I c'ant decide witch one is the real thing ! Am I hallucinating notes ? Anyway you do a fantastic job ! I learn song really faster with your help Thanks a lot man.

[@ericwWu]

This gives me chills, but not for the right reason, I think. It kinda draws me back to the early days in Maiden's galloping and intricate basslines. Good times...

[@darciehorton9748]

[@drewjonespdx]

you dawg you should show the upcoming part before it arrives so people playing along know whats coming and can play with it

[@therobotFrom94]

I personally prefer to use a three finger picked gallop rather than picking for this, but that's because I learnt it using Rocksmith

[@jaaz.handss]

Same

[@TheCrashx]

but the rocksmith chart is also palm mutes though?

[@therobotFrom94]

not the whole way through, and it's probably poor technique on my part but I mute with my frethand if i can

I love bass lines like this but I always get so lost half the time. I try using metronomes, but that just makes me focus on the ticking of it rather than the actual song, which I hate doing. Anyway, I guess practice makes perfect though, and I'll eventually get it down.

It would be nice if you play TO FRANCE.. orginal version of M. Oldfield?. Thx.

[@chicomop]

great video!

[@guibaixo]

Yeah, you rock man! Well, first of all I would like to say you made it very well, the sound was great and also the gallops, but in the end of the song you could play the note 7 (on E string) instead 2 (on A string) to play the ending riff...I think that it would sounds more agressive, you know? But very great man, good job!

[@zarazkribblez]

im a total beginner and i was trying to kinda follow along, but then that riff at 4mins in or something hit and i stopped and i was like "man, this song is awesome"
