King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard - Beginner's Luck (Bass Cover with Tabs & Chords)

[@ameliasteynberg5841]

Well, would you look at that? A King Gizzard song in 4/4 time

[@jstarrsounds]

but of course they threw in a couple 6/4 measures lol

[@viralllv]

Fucking awesome man! I love that you put the chord progressions in there too so I can understand how the bass fits over it/why it sounds good

[@AmedeoS]

viralllv That was the purpose man, thanks for appreciating!

[@blakeisawesome32]

Hey as long as you are taking requests I would love to see Down the Sink :)

[@VikoTheBassist]

Nice. This album has some good bass

[@mattblack2077]

That walk over Fdim7 in the second verse is so beautiful. Nice work

[@figwasp6101]

Great stuff! Just learned it. I'd love to hear Barefoot Desert next. The bass has a pivotal part in the song that can't be replicated by any other instrument. Keep doing what you do!

[@amyrogers7628]

Now I have to film myself playing my tab before Amedo does it himself. I'm doomed.

[@AmedeoS]

That's a nice song man, I was actually considering doing it but it's recorded with a fretless and I don't own one so it wouldn't be 100% accurate tonewise. We'll see anyway! Thanks for watching and appreciating

[@amyrogers7628]

I had no clue. Is there some confirmation, or is it just how it sounds? And yes, listening to it again, you are probably right.

[@AmedeoS]

I haven't read anything official but there's no way you can get those slides on a fretted bass (lick around 0:43)

[@figwasp6101]

Yeah I kinda suspected it was recorded on a fretless. Like you said, those slides. I actually happen to have one though, it's good for not only playing slides but micro tonal stuff like in flying microtonal banana. You should think about picking one up, they are a lot of fun!

[@Angusaug]

Your videos are great. They're really helpful for learning to play these songs.

[@Dropkickewok]

You're awesome dude. Keep the gizz covers coming

[@MTBChuckQC]

Such a great bass line, good job on the interpretation!

[@galenfrazer8541]

Awesome - had to dust off the jazz bass for this one. Great tune, great lesson. Subbed.

[@AmedeoS]

That's always a nice thing to do. Glad you liked it!

[@kj-vd7lo]

my band is playing this because of your video dude, bloody good work keep it up

[@AmedeoS]

kj that's nice to know! Thanks dudes

[@kj-vd7lo]

Yeah no one has figured out the chords yet except you, ive even played it for a school music solo

[@Rombocky]

Dude! You killed it

[@undergroundman6602]

You are terrific man, great videos

[@undergroundman6602]

And i dont even play bass i just enjoy your tone and seeing the structure of these amazing songs writtern out. Keep making these !

[@AmedeoS]

Wow man that's very kind! Thank you so much for appreciating my work

[@jo.-el]

idk how i found this but i love you so much, really, thanks for do the bass covers

[@inchworm9311]

Dang, nice job! I'm loving everything King gizzards been putting out. Can't wait to learn it

[@jmwra]

Sick videos man glad to see this on my feed this morning!

[@supermanflip19]

Thanks for including the chords in these videos. I don't play bass but I like trying out gizzard songs on piano

[@maximilianoaverzano7531]

thanks

[@gabrielsirkis704]

Thank you !

[@AwesomeGrandpaDave]

Great cover, my dude! Been hoping you'd cover this, since the timing is super weird, and I'm not nearly as good as playing by ear as you are. However, just a heads up for anyone playing, there is a G missing in the tab at the 17th measure in the empty space. In case you were wondering why it doesn't sound exactly like the video.

[@AmedeoS]

Nice man you spotted probably the only mistake I've made! Anyway if I recall correctly the original track is played as written on the score, I added an extra G when I recorded the song but it's not really supposed to be there

[@AwesomeGrandpaDave]

I get you - playing stuff that feels natural, because you've done the motion a ton of times is a bitch. I prefer the way you played it, though. It feels too sudden to move an octave.

[@AmedeoS]

Exactly! Especially since two bars later he plays R-5th-8th of E, I guess it just felt natural to repeat the same movement for that C minor chord

[@AmedeoS]

Anyway man, as you said this song was very hard to figure out by ear, I always use a software called Transcribe! that allows me to slow down songs and isolate (somehow) the bass track. 100% recommended.

[@1983toInfinity]

Legend, bruv. Thanks.

[@Crafter610]

This is amazing!!! 🙂 Keep at it! 😃

[@Kashmir731]

This is beautiful

[@doowi1182]

Awesome! Makes me really wanna learn bass.

[@nikitaverkhoturov]

thanks a lot !

[@iTzDroidx]

Beautiful!!!!!! 😍 Definitely deserved a liked! 😁😝

[@TiTManGermaX]

Can you do Barefoot Dessert?

[@AmedeoS]

TiTiManGermaX I really like that song, can't promise anything but I do hope I'll find the time

[@AmedeoS]

Yes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/onzOe5Wwqs6Mhs0

[@TiTManGermaX]

Amedeo S Thanks man! Just finished watching it and it sounded great!

[@hammies.]

woooow. great

[@victoriantrainchannel1450]

This is amazing!!!

[@VoidGirlfriend]

would love to see Superposition! Love that bassline

[@starslayer2003]

I honestly don’t think that I’m a bad bass player, but I know I’m not a great one. I am struggling to high heavens on this one! Something about the intervals is just tripping me up, and I also can’t play with a pick yet, so maybe pick playing makes this song easier. Since I started on upright I’ve never really used a pick much.

[@AmedeoS]

Good thing you started on the upright! It'll get you a lot more gigs in the future. Don't worry man, this song is a tricky one for me too. Maybe if you slow it down a little it'll get easier to understand what I'm doing, and you can play fingerstyle if you're not familiar yet with the pick.

[@Kashmir731]

Thank you so much

[@theodore738]

tight

[@maxbingham5583]

Please pretty plese do superposition next

[@ben2000foo]

could you tab green house heat death?

[@kamodo2299]

hey man, might be stupid question but how'd you get that tone, i love what they did for the bass tone in polygonawanaland and gumboot soup, i just cant figure quite dial it in, thanks in advance.

[@AmedeoS]

kamodo2299 it's been a while man but I think I added some compression and increased the mids in the mix. I actually don't know which bass they've used on the recording, but I reckon if you open your tone and play with a pick close enough to the bridge you'll get a similar sound without having to worry too much about post production or compression! Hope that helps.

[@Tom-ko8qg]

Do i’m sleepin in!

[@Bknesi97]

Sei un grande, le sto guardando tutte le tue cover dei king gizzard. Di questa sai dirmi che impostazioni dell'eq hai usato?

[@AmedeoS]

Bknesi97 Ciao! Guarda è passato un sacco di tempo.. A memoria ti dico taglia le basse e boosta le medie/alte. Avere un jazz e usare il pick up al ponte aiuta sicuramente! Spero di essere stato sufficientemente utile. Grazie!

[@aaronkriegman]

Hey, I noticed you have a small error in the verse. You play E C E when it is supposed to be F# A F# at the F#min7b5 chord. Other than that my transcription agrees with yours.

[@leesnyder1112]

I'm happy to say I'm the 1000th like

[@leesnyder1112]

And no one will care. Just me. I care

[@AmedeoS]

I do!

[@leesnyder1112]

@@AmedeoS I'm so glad!

[@thescarymoosh]

I keep feeling that there's also an A in that C#m7b5 - that's the note in the tune and I think I can hear it in the chord as well. That would make it what, an A7add9/C#? or a C#m7b5(add6)? :)

[@AmedeoS]

Eugene Manko you are probably right man, when I was transcribing it both B7 and C#min7b5 sounded okay but not 100% correct. If you hear an A I'd say it's probably another chord and not C#min7b5 ;) if you find out please tell me! Corrections are always welcome

[@AmedeoS]

I'm not saying your solutions are wrong, they just look way too much complex and I think there is a simpler way

[@thescarymoosh]

I see what you mean, I was just trying to incorporate the A I was hearing into the solution you already had :) If we're looking for simpler ways, I think C#aug works pretty well here.

[@mattordiway1955]

Ever thought about doing PPC? I posted a sheet music transcription of Cubensis Lenses on the Porn Crumpets Facebook fan page. Doooo it!

[@snokchamp07]

great video, bass name?

[@AmedeoS]

Snok Ramos it's a fender jazz deluxe man

[@wgb01001]

Not sure about that B7 in the intro... 🤨🤔

[@AmedeoS]

Neither am I

[@pisspp9059]

I may b dumb but what’s the tuning?

[@AmedeoS]

All my videos are in standard tuning!

[@pisspp9059]

@@AmedeoS great! ty :)

[@monochino95]

do 'im sleepin in pls

[@McDoinky]

Strings?

[@AmedeoS]

Pretty basic D'addario round, 45-100

[@Ievolovel]

Is this just standard tuning? Super noob here.

[@AmedeoS]

Ievolovel yes man, I play every song in standard tuning. Not a big fan of tuning my bass differently.

[@Ievolovel]

Good shit. Thanks, brotherman.
