Those 3 Times Henrik Linder went Beast Mode

​Beast Mode is back! And in today’s video we’re featuring Swedish powerhouse, Dirty Loops.
Dirty Loops broke the Internet back in 2011 and they’ve since scored big time with their flipped cover versions of hit pop songs. I’ve been following them from the very beginning, and being a bass player, Henrik Linder is now one of my biggest bass heroes!
Henrik’s approach catches me off guard every single time; slap bass, tapping, harmonics, chords, and finger funk playing.. he’s unlike anything I’ve ever heard before.
Ready to see what happens when Henrik goes Beast Mode??
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)

IMO, Henrick Linder is always playing in the beast mode=)

[@bass4ever727]

Ю гат дэм райт!

[@Josh_Herman]

I’d love to see a Mohini Dey when she played Mala-Dey she went beast mode Or Federico Malaman playing Doctor Mike that was dope!

[@GearHeadz101]

w0rd

[@jeffreydavis409]

Abraham Laboriel

[@eliteextremophile8895]

yeah, the guy has no chill lol

[@EVEROSFP1]

I think the whole band goes beast mode.

[@emersonsrandomvideos248]

Yeah exactly

[@docmacdvet]

It would be injustice to say that only Henrik goes on beast mode. The vocals is monstrously spectacular and the drums so nuanced I can certainly discern ghost notes,all the time!😲

[@JaQba91]

It’s just Dirty Loops, Man 😃

[@manny75586]

He's fantastic. His work on "bitten by the kitten" is absolutely nuts how consistent he keeps his 8th notes.

[@baptisteferraro7361]

Richard bona beast mode please !!

[@baptisteferraro7361]

@Paulonbass OnBass so true

[@casperharlet]

Dirty loops is killer, one of the greatest bands of the now. Henrick is phenomenal

[@shawnsilway9027]

My favorite bassist!!!

[@VoxTone2009]

And played on a 6 string with perfect muting on top of it and super clean hearing all notes. Although my favorite is the Work shit out on the fretless. The grove is just crazy along with drummer.

[@SiRushBass]

Yeah I can barely hold down the muting on a 4 string, but note that he's using a fretwrap to mute the strings @VoxTone2009 ....

[@JamarLangley]

Man that song is my favorite for sure! I did a little cover on it…not henrik lol but just enjoying what he brings to bass playing! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5yVdKaYf7xgqNU

[@KasbashPlays]

I'll be honest, I clicked on this video to see a lengthy compilation of Henrik absolutely losing which is worth its own price of admission. What I wasn't expecting was to see you breaking it down and as if to have us get things twisted, you actually _played_ those parts note for note. Subscribed!

[@andrewlyon8924]

He also played them with two less strings, which makes it feel even more approachable!

[@ShershnevDenis]

We need more Henrick Linder =)))

[@sammyboykin5624]

The late, great Mick Karn from the band Japan going groove beast mode. A fretless wonder. Please.

[@kiefdemon1979]

Yesss

[@flp_sanmartin]

😍

[@TheMANuel2595]

Love that perfectly timed hair blow he does at 4:09

[@honestbrute9216]

I don’t even listen to this band and don’t think I’ve heard them before but because of this video, I stumbled across another great bass player...also, the way you are breaking down the slap technique in this video (especially with the over fretboard graphics) is extremely helpful to me and I appreciate the through effort on your part...not just a great beast mode video, but an excellent mini slap tutorial as well...nicely done..!

[@mattbishop9339]

It's funny - I personally wouldn't have picked these 3 examples as "going beast mode". As someone who was very heavily influenced by Mark King when I first started playing bass, slap lines like these don't particularly terrify me - it's Henrik's fingerstyle playing that makes me want to give up!

[@theoriginalthinkman5897]

What a super review and reviewer! I'm one of the millions that can't get enough of Dirty Loops. It's interesting that Henrik gets so much (very deserved) praise. Interesting in that as a keyboard player, I focus on Jonah's genius. All 3 are brilliant - I doubt too many would disagree. A true gestalt.

[@ThomasLoyd]

Scott, I really like seeing Henrik because he's soo good at filling in where he needs to and shining when it is required. Also, in regards to other "Beast Mode" interviews, I'm curious as to why you haven't done anything SERIOUS with Davie504. He's a phenomenal BASSist and has managed to become one of KZbin's more famous denizens while playing some ridiculously good BASS in the process. If you could get a SERIOUS interview instead of his KZbin "Schtick" it would be very interesting to get an insight into him and his playing too. Of course, in the same breath, you could also look at Charles Berthoud too who flows so smoothly from tap to slap to just flatout beast-mode DragonForce-esque thumbing. As an old-fart BASSist, I really enjoy your channel, but also see a lot of these younger folks playing so good too (which makes me wish I had something like KZbin when I was much younger instead of them crappy StarLicks transcriptions on tapes and VHS). They have stuff to share too and your platform is an outstanding BASS-orientated place to talk about it without the veneer of eye-gasm-y KZbin obnoxiosity. Thanks! And thanks for your BASS passion too!

[@Duvstep910]

My jaw hits the floor with every song they release

[@frankiebob1191]

As a guitarist, I am so amazed by the percussive elements in these pieces. The scales/notes are not extremely complex, but the rhythm and dead notes make these pieces SOOO much more difficult. They sound amazing though! I'm going to dedicate some time to learn more bass. Such a cool instrument.

[@robertjohnson3855]

Never heard of 'em, couldn't be all that good.

[@reinhardkochauf6228]

Thank you, you a real good Bass Player and teacher

[@dr.per-johanhorgby3047]

Henrik Master Mind!!!!

[@JohnDoe-kf9wq]

Thank you so much Scott !!!

[@chumypap]

Thanks for this tecnic. Thanks all bassist un the world!! Greething from south argentina

[@rossco420]

what a player, absolute savage, 🔥🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@steffendewert1957]

Love to see Alain Caron - turkey loose on the kit from 2005 Montreal live session. Insane playing unbelievable slap and groove from bass line to solo crashed my head

[@lorraineb682]

He's amazing!

[@kennybaker1976]

I am old school need to check out everything. You and your guest are awsom.and will get it together. At the age 67 I will be better before I get to heaven.LOL THANKS FOR YOUR GITFS AND SKILLS.

[@Jerler91]

"If you're thinking im gonna transcribe that line for ya..." 😂😂

[@toft5320]

that glove he is wearing is terrifying. great video

[@seanemmettfullerton]

Wow, just wow! speechless here...

[@bepivisintainer2975]

the original Scott is back!

[@bassplayer3472]

Wow I like the first one. It sounds amazing in the mix.

[@JohnDoe-kf9wq]

Happy new year Scott

[@lucaskrammer]

Thank you very much!

[@adrianpoonster]

the text on the neck @5:17 is top notch

[@savedplayer]

As a 16 year old hendrik has blown my mind I hope I can slap as well as him one day cos it sounds so good.

[@GeirBordalen]

Scott - very impressed! Of you!

[@puiazaidarhzauva9928]

oh my gosh......Henrick is unreal.....

[@porkrod7]

Henrik # beast mode! You too Scotty

[@camilomunoz1156]

I love the new things in the latest videos, like the tab notations plus visual elements on your videos Scott!

[@visawillman8282]

Thank you for yours specific learning scenarios. Of course everything is easy for you! Maybe easy for me too when time is falling. Lowe what you do!

[@Musouk66]

Brilliant to see this. I’m addicted to watching Led Zeppelin clips on KZbin and wondered if you were aware of John Paul Jones ‘beast mode’ during Jimmy Pages solo, in ‘In The Evening’..

[@tyranusgraves2848]

Hey Scott! I have 3 bass players in mind. 1. Billy Sheehan (Specifically maybe a performance with Mr. Big.) 2. Larry Graham 3. Geddy Lee

[@the1khronohs40]

‘I’ve got kids!’ 🤣🤣🤣

[@stjumamamane]

Scott, thank you so much for detailing the JUst dance base line, other vidoes out there don't have it at all.

[@aaveratsastaja]

Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, Eugene Kostyuk from the band Jinjer

[@SCALEBEASTS]

Yooooo this is freaking HYPE! Thanks for the guide and tips and tabs!

[@marcinszadyn5026]

Wojtek Pilichowski. Real monster of slap.

[@jc-me3hf]

1) Doug Keyser 2) Sean Malone 3) Steve Di Giorgio

[@matto9734]

That Ken Smith Bass... I´m jealous ;-) ..and - all the best for you and your Dearest and your plans for 2021!

[@bayanihanmediachannel5983]

SUPERB LESSON THANKS SCOTT cheers

[@roncummings-kralik4547]

Billy Sheehan 1) on the cover of Rush's La Villa Strangiato on the album Working Man. 2) On the first Niacin album, the solo track Clean Up Crew.

[@LeonardoParisi1]

Thank you Scott! Nice and interesting format!

[@PedroRodriguez-bw6fb]

Jeff Ament (Pearl jam) Edward Jackson (Queensrych) Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) Larry Graham, John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) Bobby Vega, Bootsy Collins

[@fookingsog]

SMOOTH AF!!!😎

[@Sometimeslifeiscrazy]

I don’t mean this offensively at all, but hearing you play those boots parts just makes me realize how much better Heidrick is then we even realize. Like no one can play his base parts and make them sound of the way he makes him sound.

[@StevenReinaldoRusli]

My favorite bassist!! Yeahh

[@moses9038]

Henrik is a beast!!

[@rckuhmann]

Yeah! Wow! Keep 'em comin' Scott!

[@jbferguson1884]

Awesome slap technique! You have featued many bass players from different styles, but there is one that is very underated and overlooked though he is quite expressive and skilled on fretless bass. Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam, and other projects. The song Breath on the Singles sound track is what first me aware that they had a fretless bass player, and I started listening closer to their other songs and realized that there are lots of subtle slides and harmonics on most of their songs. This guy is the one that really got me interested in fretless bass, especially with a rock band. I would like to see a good feature on him and give him some overdue credit. Just my 2 cents....lol

[@Koospa]

Great timing, I've been practicing slap techniques but had no licks whatsoever. Thanks, Scott!

[@joshuao.nortey375]

This is crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@yoyongprime]

CHARLES BERTHOUD!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JRWallace07]

When Abraham Laboriel went beast mode on “Ancient of Days” with Ron Kenoly

[@Patrick.W.Pallangyo]

We need this video too

[@5sharps89]

Yes

[@j.d.b.4683]

I just watched it because of your recommendation. Yeah, he is usually chill, but he not only went beast mode, but he got his groove and the groove got him! And the Spirit! Thanks, JIm!

[@MC-xy5cu]

I have that on old Skule VHS!

[@SiRushBass]

I'm with you. First bass solo I learnt back in the day.

[@johanneswarn5488]

We just gonna ignore the bass solo on World On Fire?

[@ds1854]

Hi Scott - Two of my main influences are Mick Karn (Japan) and Pino Palladino both great fretless players, would be great if you did a feature on them. Also Mark King - King of the slap basslines. Many thanks - Dave

[@andybertozzi]

He did Palladino ages ago. Great vid too. Browse his lib, you'll find it

[@davidfox7983]

You are a serious player Scott

[@aldenskiesplace7736]

Please sir feature john patitucci and mark king,,,merry christmas here in philippines.😘😘😘

[@jeanmikael_1265]

Just keep on transcribing Henriks work with Dirty Loops, please. There is a never ending source of material to use.

[@arikde-mayo2755]

Alain Caron Beast mode!!!, including end of penny arcade solo.

[@garycoates4987]

you gotta bring in the PUNK Matt Freeman beast mode!! PLEASE

[@alexmartin466]

Yes I would like to see on your video Abraham Laboriel’s technique of slap 🎶

[@martinheath5947]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKrJf6J6a9N9d9k 40mins of the great man 😊

[@bassbutter4767]

BRROOO!! The entire Jeff Beck "Wired" album with Wilbur Bascombe on bass!!! OOWWEEE!! Jeff Beck on guitar, Jan Hammer on keyboard's, Narada Michael Walden on drums and the one and only way underrated Wilbur Bascombe on bass!!! Check out "Led Boots", a controlled musical frenzy of funk fusion Twister, "Come Dancing", a tutorial on groove keeping, and "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", bluesy, fat, & extremely melodic bass playing!! This cat is serious!! God-bless !!!

[@walterwebb1622]

8:20 made me laugh so much hahaha

[@henrysoriano2643]

Nice Scott, I love the tone that your getting. 🎸 👍

[@mitchellwright4295]

This was great! Love these beast mode break downs. I’d really like to see one on Ben Kenney of Incubus. His solo in the look alive dvd of sick sad little world is great. 12th fret harmonics as the bridge begins to open up is incredible! He’s one my all time favourites!

[@jjtm69att]

John Myung of Dream Theater Paolo Gregoletto of Trivium All the other choices I can think of you guys have already covered in other types of content but my third choice is Les Claypool of Primus. Love the vids and the SBL academy. Only wish there was more coverage on modern rock and metal.

[@edfarmer2613]

Great Stuff

[@alexmartin466]

I would like to say Louis Johnson’s Slap technique 👍🎶

[@davidsummers1977]

Brian Bromberg in beast mode PLEASE!!

[@haydensonneborn4612]

Steve Bailey would be sick, especially all his work with Victor Wooten

[@egeb7]

Yes please

[@paulobriones2295]

[@Randem33]

Keith Jones from Andy Narrell a true master

[@brCharlieNagy]

Ecxellent demo :-)

[@daniel26santana71]

David Pastorius is one I’d love to see you pick his brain!!! Amazing bassist and cool kat!!

[@MrBarckla]

Me encantaría ver un Beast Mode con Wojtek Pilichowski, me encanta tu canal lo sigo desde hace mucho tiempo, saludos desde México.

[@xanders.5814]

Remco's Groove lab, he has some really cool vids

[@kristianwichmann9996]

"Hammer on the D. Thumb the D." - Ouch!

[@AcousticSerenity]

Love to see you feature John Stockman of Karnivool. He does a play through for “Goliath” that he did to mainly show off his pedal from darkglass.

[@TBBKeys]

Jimmy Johnson. Tried to read all the comments but didn´t see his name. Awesome player, he played a lot with Allan Holdworth both live and on records.

[@willtotten2939]

Let’s see some Claypool!

[@the1khronohs40]

As for hammering on the D, I think I’ve got that part down. 😄

[@kimmorgan379]

Bloody Henrick the smirking slap goblin! Gaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! That's it. I'm off to the shed...

[@nicolasyepes584]

Flea beast mode 🤩🤩🤩

[@Silent_Symphony56]

Kyle Brock's bass work on Eric Johnson's tracks "Zap", And "Cliffs of Dover" is epic! Update: And also "High Landrons" by Eric Johnson. Kyle Brock is basically beast mode on the whole track!

[@deaddadd]

Been playing 40 years, never was a slap bassist. Would love to see you mimic Justin Chancellor.

[@shedricknellon8408]

Henrik is an absolute MONSTER! You should profile Glecio Nacimento also...one of the most frightening guys I've I've ever seen!

[@hiltonmota8797]

Alain Caron in Slam the Clown, D-Code.

[@mariuswiborg8146]

Ida Nielsen would be awesome

[@zprince4120]

Jack Bruce, Les Claypool, Jack Cassidy, Flea, Harris, Rob Trujillo, Geoffrey Lyall (aka Klaus Flouride), JPJ, Sir. Paul, And Pete Bremy Just to name a few. Would be awesome Lessons like this one.

[@zprince4120]

Don't know how I forgot to mention him but... You should definitely do one of these on Chris Wood. Foe sho

[@ofeksegal8915]

I'd really like to see a video about alain caron!
