Can't miss a lecture on Cliff!

[@zacharyhusk4649]

You should totally do the middle section of trapped under ice. The scream from my soul part. Cliff plays a really gnarly bass riff in that section

[@bAgRiMoIrEsS.4]

Cliff another great Innovative creator. He showed us something new..!!

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

He showed us the cheating that studio engineers were dead-set against, in the studio... But the fact that a separate copyright is needed - just for the ASCAP Licencing to cover the preformance, is due some recognition!

[@licccio2133]

Best bass teacher on youtube, by far!

[@MikamiHero]

Great lesson, Mark! Easily my favourite Metallica track of all time. I'd love it if you could cover the other parts of the song :) Like the pre-chorus and also the chorus too!

[@sterlynghearn2685]

You're an amazing teacher, almost every lesson you've put out I've learnt even when it seemed crazy hard. I'd love if you could teach Victor Wooten's Can't Hold No Groove.

[@danymarcotte1900]

What a great lesson again Mark!

[@lemuelcrump6913]

Mark, your lessons are very good. You are an awesome teacher. I have been playing songs on bass for almost 51 years; but, I had no idea what a triad or an arpeggio and a pentatonic was before I started learning from you. Thanks much

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

THANK YOU for talking about the "Burton - Cheat"... 🙄 So many guitarists and drummers acted like it's not a thing, but you went into the detail of how the time is kept-in-progression perspective, 😌 and even threw in the "alternative chords" !! 😷Stay safe, Stay healthy Mark !

[@liamjenkins82]

Another great no nonsense lesson. Love to see more. Cheers

[@tolismpanasis2775]

I've seen many videos from you, but this one.... That guy.... He was a different person in my opinion. A very different person

[@mayhemresurrection]

Mark you always make playing so easy wow. Thanks buddy

[@dovleac]

Had to figure it out on my own, but I do appreciate this video! Almost covered it before watching but I think I'll practice this first! I'd also like to hear the pre-chorus and pre-solo.

[@rjbb0377]

Thank you so much for the lesson! I am a new Bass player and I love seeing all the different techniques that are possible on the instrument

[@alessiopizzignach3878]

thank u mark!! i think i improved a lot thanks to your advices... i started making a few videos, hope ill get as good as u

[@scottvalencour4837]

Great lesson Mark! What kind of bass are you playing in this video? I’m really enjoying the sound and the colour

[@funkndrucked]

Such a great song

[@JOBSquad98]

Would be great to see some more slayer videos. Always interesting to see what the bass does along side all those fast guitar parts

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

🤔remember when Michael Jackson wore tape on his fingers for a louder "throw - snap"? 😄kinda-like needing tape on the fingers... Looks wonky, but lasts through the set.

[@GillRigged]

How about the pre-chorus section of this song? That's what really gets me at speed right now. Edit: I guess it would be the intro 3 section

[@jackgraham5037]

That's a cracking tone.

[@davidbalan6571]

I liked the riff bass Rock

[@marcdewey1242]

Cliff also performs the acoustic intro on that song.

[@tonybp]

I've been away too long from bassdom... pickups now how lights!

[@intoit1074]

Wait.. you’re plating the notes wrong. Not the gallop he does but the sequence of notes. The sequence is 3 2 2, 3 2 1

[@chilibraves852]

This is good! Can you teach us how to play “You Can’t fake the Funk” by Ida Neilson

[@bassismath9118]

I'm really confused when the peace sells starts second time after the break...every bass cover has different versions .....please clarify that part for the bass community..

[@mrsteel250]

If I’m thinking of the right spot, the really fast 0’s and 7’s, I think cover solutions has the closest compared to the isolated original track

[@adelinabonita3373]

can you teach the following bass riff in this song or the bass part cliff plays during the solo and outro in motorbreath

[@M43STR0_dnb]

Please do my name is mud

[@patcom1013]

Try playing this while headbanging like a madman at the same time; you'll soon give up.

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

😑the only example I give you is: Lindsey Sterling...

[@iamgribs]

What kind of pickups are those

[@CollynsTV]

very scary riff on the outside but very easy once you know technique

[@tonialatalo5653]

Mooooooore please

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

😂 nostalgia becomes a bitch with teasers like this... 😑 but Mark was straight about not moshing the other people in the room during lessons ( 😂😂😂 )

[@jackgraham5037]

Didn't Cliff only pick with 2 fingers?

[@AnnoyingOrange420]

Yes, but I guess using 3 because its easier to play triplets like that once you learn the technique

[@Necro-s]

Pretty sure he did 99% but after listening to Fight Fire i don't know how is it HUMANLY possible to play those gallops w/ 2 fingers. They sound like 3 fingers, but im not sure

[@jackgraham5037]

I learned to play this song both ways. It took me about 2 years. Sounds better with 2 fingers but getting the speed and precision is a real stretch.

[@CyrilViXP]

Could do it on 100 bpm, but not faster)

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

🤔tapping your fingers on a practice drum pad_ is used for building speed... Also, the delicate-guitar touch with the gain up, can help with gliding fingers over the string(s) !! 😷Stay safe, Stay healthy!

[@CyrilViXP]

@@f_USAF-Lt.G yeah, thanks, I was practicing for the whole day and was able to do up to 140 bpm, but now my third finger looks butchered. I never used it so much before while playing acoustic or electric guitar :)

[@dambrooks7578]

Of course I want, like any sane person would, like to learn more of that tune; it is Metallica were still an interesting band before it became the Ulric & Hatfield Ego Show 🤔
