Megadeth - "Symphony Of Destruction" (Bass Cover)

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Why haven't we thought of that way of muting before!?

[@yyyaaa3928]

I was already convinced that Kello was a 500 year old bass druid, so it doesn't surprise me that he uses ancient magic

[@calvin2516]

yeah thats awesome, never seen that technique before.

[@burtonlopez]

Hi frrrrrriend!

[@Ampher03]

I swear I’ve seen Cliff Burton do that. I’m not sure though

[@Zeee_yeah]

You didn't?

[@COYM_1908]

This is one of Ellefson's favourite songs to play on the bass, according to one video where he lists his favourite Megadeth bass riffs.

[@ETOL17]

Bro really said “fuck the pick”

[@nyckoluz]

Are we ignoring the fact that he's a metal bass player and he has a ukulele in the background?

[@kellogc]

Your pinky palm muting technique is really cool, I'll have to try it out

[@GreyPlaysTunes]

Oh my god the muting technique is genius

[@Jackster__]

[@oggie6907]

Never seen (or at least noticed) someone do that before. That's awesome. Time to add it to my repetoire.

[@r4y98]

Wow! Really nice muting technique and tone!

[@damien9684]

You're one of the main reasons I invested in a bass, I literally get a feeling I can't explain when I watch you play, or I play the bass myself, been learning for about 2 years, I'm slow, but I'm gettin it! Keep doing what you do man! 🤘🤘

[@kellogc]

Thanks for sharing! I’m glad you enjoy the videos, and even more that you decided to start playing bass, keep it up.

Amazing man! I didn't even notice the pinky muting until I read the comments!

Love the “palm-muting” technique! Awesome as always, Kello

[@GillRigged]

That's some interesting pinky action there 🤙

[@benhafey9829]

You are an excellent bassist. I’m really impressed and almost intimidated by your play style. I hope to reach your level someday.

[@Oppao12]

Wow! Love the tone and playing. I should start learning this Pinky-muting thing 😄

Holy shit, pinky muting? You're a genius, how'd you figure that one out? Need to start doing that for myself. Great cover as always man!

[@kellogc]

Well that finger is not getting used... do that was a good thing to have it do once una while whenever I needed that type of muting sound

[@RameshSunarOfficial]

u should have at least half million subs..thumbs up man ..

[@minister7417]

Favorite song by Megadeth

[@putridabomination]

No pick, impressive. I remember that David uses his pick to get a specific tone. I'm surprised the tone is just as good without a pick.

[@kino9521]

I like how he uses the pick ups to get different tones through out the song

[@Marcobegazo]

So simple, yet so fun and badass to play

[@JustPlayingBass]

Aww man that bass tone...another excellent video. Killer. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe man.

[@KristianVirtanen]

Aye, megadeth would only be a halfdeth without David´s bass. Nicely done man, common Kello quality.

[@johngavin1175]

Hell yea, Ellefson is underrated. Glad this was in my recommendations, you got my sub. Kinda inspired to pick my bass back up.

[@kellogc]

Do it!! ;)

[@AximandTheCursed]

Very nicely played Sir. I’m a huge Megadeth fan and have owned some of Dave Mustaine’s Dean V guitars in the past, but the one thing I’m not too fond of is bass guitarists who pick so this is a bit of fresh. Nicely played.

[@huequeen8]

Pick and finger. Big difference.

[@kellogc]

👊🏻

[@alexlogan124]

Damn how do you make it crunchy like that without a pick? I can only get that kind of crunch with a pick

[@CC-ks3tj]

1) have low action on your strings 2) pluck really hard 3) use a bit of overdrive in combination with a compressor (Ideally you should use an OD with a blend knob between clean and dirty signal in order to retain low end definition)

[@alexlogan124]

CC Ah so I need a bass compressor?

[@CC-ks3tj]

Alex Logan Having one helps, but it’s not essential. The first two are probably the most important. It’s actually arguable that compressors are bad for practicing because they hide dynamic mistakes, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t pick one up if you can. They help a lot for recording and are a good idea for playing live. Edit: there’s probably some EQ-ing too. I would imagine you would want a fair bit of highs at the very least.
