@B This-- until I started learning Nirvana baselines I didn't realize how cool they were. And there's also a bunch of Nirvana songs that would be nowhere close to as cool as they are without his bass lines, and he did it all while jumping around with the bass below his waist!

Krist is one of the reasons I picked up a bass guitar. I love his bass parts, especially the melodic lines that he played. He would play different riffs during the choruses than the guitar that really added a whole other element to the songs.

[@Member-ur7np]

I’ve been playing for 25 years, thousands of hours of experience. Recently I started giving lessons to some high school students who are ridiculously into Nirvana. I’ve learned that Novoselic was an awesome bassist. The laid back but aggressive attitude in his lines is difficult to nail down. Maybe I’m just too old and don’t have that energy anymore.

[@DemonSlide]

Krist is one of the greatest bass players ever. His sense of rhythm and melody are pretty darn awesome and just as good as anyone else in Nirvana. He just gave an excellent counterpoint to Kurt's vocals.

[@Loki_FPV666]

Krist Novoselic has long been one of my favorite bass players of the 90's and is totally underrated.

[@darthskeletand1488]

Blew on the bleach Album also starts with bass and it’s really good

Krist is an amazing bass player, his bass playing is very original and he never really tried to be be lazy like most bass players in the 90s and just play on the top string. Another great bass player to mention is Robert deleo of STP

[@MartyWilson100]

Great video!=) I am not the biggest Nirvana fan but I like Krist Novoselic which I think is an underrated bass player

[@franka2743]

I love Krist, he's one of my favorite bass players and in my opinion one of the most underrated, and it's his bass lines that I've learned first. With that said, I have no f****** idea how he managed to play with his bass below his waist while bouncing around! I've tried it, again and again, and I just can't do it. Maybe it's his extremely big hands? Does he even have big hands? I know he's extremely tall. But then again I know of other players, both bassists and guitar players from the '90s who did the same thing, I just can't get it !

are you sure with the roto stainless steels? i've read he used nickels. not sure whats right

[@user-cx7kg6ok9b]

Yeah, people call it a "slash" chord, but correct term is "inversion". When you play a chord, but rather than the root note on the bottom, you play one of the other notes on the bottom. If you play an open C major chord, but also fret the low E at the 3rd fret (G note), you have a C/G That is, a C major with the fifth (G) on the bottom instead of the root (C). If you play the C chord, but also the low open E you have a C/E - C major with the third (E) on the bottom.

I'm sure you have seen them, but Harley has done his own videos about his style of playing. There's nothing better than the source, especially since *EVERYBODY* (myself included who grew up watching him in person) plays his stuff wrong to begin with.

[@zacharyhusk4649]

You can clearly see that cliff burton was a big influence on his bass playing

[@endivide_band]

you'll get even closer, if not spot on with a jazz bass rather than a P bass. His tones were naturally mid scooped from the bass that he played, while the P bass's tones are higher in mids.

[@stevewyffels6137]

Chris said he served the guitar.. Like in lounge act... Yup is

[@Metal_Horror]

Yeah it kinda bugs me he has the "basic bassist" label. His lines aren't exactly difficult to play, but I don't think "basic" is a good descriptor. He definitely has a signature style that is tasteful and adds a lot of melody to Kurt's (actually basic) riffs and vocals. He's had a massive influence on my own playing, and I often wonder what Krist would do in certain situations. Most people (myself included) had no idea what was going on under the guitars on Heart Shaped Box. Krist adds some awesome syncopation via pull-offs and other little rhythmic embellishments.

are you seriously claiming he only up-picks? wtf

[@leon-du8ye]

Mook ly no, he means he only alternate picks

[@zephyrmusic_]

I mean Krist is doing bends only because the guitar is doing it too, so he changes the note as Kurt and it gives a more sloppy note change and it sounds great, but if Kurt didn't do any bend he wouldn't imo, cuz a bass doing bends where there is no bends just flips the band over and the bass maintains the band in order, so if you change of root by bending you'll lose your bandmates & it will sound quite bad to be honest.
