Tips And Comments:
- Playing Technique: Played between pickups with different dynamics (try listening to the song and pick the best intensity to follow). Just neck pickup activated
- Gear Sound: Added some overdrive in the mix for most parts. Eq has some low end and some amount of treble. For the final riff some fuzz was added too. Added finally some chorus on the final mix, just for presence
- About The Song: Fun song to play along. I think gallops need working on me, specially the muted ones. Try relaxing your arm and using more of the wrist. I maybe applied to much pressure just to get a more agressive sound. Care for finger positions in the final riff. I would have used a different position, but the original bassist uses that one (almost 100% sure).Transcribed from studio version and positions corrected with live videos.

Don't let Bellamy's otherworldly falsetto that can split the heavens make you overlook the fact that Muse songs all have incredibly effective bass tracks!

[@kevinvalde]

Los bajos son totalmente aplastantes

[@ikerina]

LOL Yes! When it comes to Muse, I'll always pay attention to the bassline first. Not my fault. I fully blame it on Wolstenholme.

[@sideknee3268]

[@timotheepetit]

This riff, sure XD

[@justchris6046]

The riff? I smell cap. 😂

[@Jaenoe818]

those gallops are ridiculous for me at least

[@carrurru]

Try disposable heroes, by Metallica. That song huuuuuurtss.

[@erpatatilla7103]

lol

[@LucasCristofolini7]

I love how the entire bass and guitar parts matches with the concept of the videoclip with the horse galloping

[@josephwashington3328]

I've listened to this song and played this song hundreds of times and never thought of it like that. Thats awesome

[@bizonyx]

song with literally 'Knight' in its title "coincidentally" has galloping guitar/bass riff wow whats next? Four Horsemen from Metallica?

[@LucasCristofolini7]

Adrian Do I really have to explain (even with my comment being really obvious) that I was just stating how perfect the whole concept of the song is? I wasn’t saying this as if I was the first person in the world noticing it. Get your shit together kid

[@verse5981]

@@LucasCristofolini7 holy fuck you killed him

[@LuigiGamesful]

Now that I can hear the bass parts better, I just noticed that the bass and the guitar both have the galloping rhythm to it. All this time I always thought it's only the drums

[@teragiga967]

man this chord progression is orgasmic

[@tazaycharla3426]

Muse songs have fantastic chord progressions

[@grieffinbass2056]

@@selenicereus Me too, good luck to both of us 😅

[@ocin311]

EPIC!!!!! easy enough to learn, hard enough to play straight through for the novice bassist. my forearms are burning.

[@ShuKatashSam]

Try pick for the triplets and then if you can, work on the 3 finger method, ring, middle index(repeated). It'll come in handy later.

[@alekruberry2939]

@@ShuKatashSam not if you’re steve Harris

[@darko714]

Not easy for me to learn. The technique isn't too hard, but the later part of the intro & the verses don't follow a repeating pattern (that I can discern).

[@andrewpappas9311]

This has got to be my favourite Muse song to do on guitar, this intro is 2 minutes of awesomeness and is one of Matt Bellamy's best riffs

[@darko714]

I like the outro riff even better.

[@alessandromartini8477]

The solo is the best written by Matt

[@kevinvalde]

Es buena ...tiene subidones épicos y emocionantes, pero decir que es la mejor no lo creo .. la mejor canción siempre será New Born

[@huseet491]

"Don't waste your time or time will waste you" damn that really struck me

[@Jessehietajesseh]

[@deathdoor]

As I always think, the bass volume should be higher.

[@benkruse5533]

specifically this one too

[@arturhenriquebento5878]

Plug in Baby :D

[@timehunter9467]

Bass is probably one of the most underrated parts of songs. You need those root notes somewhere.

[@nigelpisswater484]

every bass player thinks that but actually i think bass sounds best at lower volume because thats its job, its supposed to be the low end to a song.

[@MattDollin]

​@@nigelpisswater484 "Low end" relates to frequency, and not volume. Bass isn't supposed to be quiet.

[@tubadude07]

gotta build up the endurance for the right arm XD

[@ProgrammedForDamage]

For me it's my left (chord) hand. I hyper-extended my thumb years ago and it's never been the same since. It starts the ache badly after a few songs with rapid changes.

[@cerocero769]

David Amato - hehe... wait for it, waaaaaaawit for it....

[@louisacford807]

I love how he just flicked the pick away. By the way, what bass is that its lovely

[@johannsson8559]

Its a taurus

[@darko714]

He works the pick with some style, right down to the nifty disposal.

[@TheDutchCreeperTDC]

Everytime I hear this song I get goosebumps of its pure awesomeness. And now I can just learn to play it myself for double goosebumps! Thanks a lot for the tabs, and great cover as always!

[@nickshine5982]

Those key changes are flawless.

[@MaxBolotov]

I just played along to this without a pick and it felt like the best exercise ever. Highly recommend!

[@ApexAssassin77]

One of my favourite muse songs

[@Creamcake2511]

I can’t stop watching this cover, this my favorite song and everything was perfect!You’re super talented, and I’m glad you made this video!!!

[@19indecisive19]

Man, your tone is like, EXACTLY the same! Unreal...

[@drazlet]

I love watching your right hand because when you’re not picking or plucking you (subconsciously I’m guessing) keep time really, really well

[@jacksoncampbell1332]

You are officially the king of tone

[@aqimjulayhi8798]

The 'I came to see tapping' and 'where's the tapping' comments are really annoying. The 'tapping' part isn't even actually a bass guitar, but a synthesizer. This video accurately depicts how the song is ACTUALLY played by Chris. From the galloping/palm muting intro to the actual tablature. I say, this guy is a great bassist!

[@spamsingles5948]

agreed!

[@dalewarner6652]

was amazed how well i played it the for first time thanks to the ever present tabs you supply.

[@casertanick]

Reading through to comments is so annoying. "Do the tapping part" yeah the part that isn't played on bass

[@jblakeplays2541]

There's such a thing as synth pedals I'm pretty sure, plus the tapping is honestly one of the most fun parts of the song. In other words, if I played this song live, I would want a synth pedal, as I would want to do the bass tapping part

[@baconstrips6260]

@@jblakeplays2541 Bass synth tapping FTW!!!

[@justindarden5998]

Yes it is

[@szeddezs]

@@jblakeplays2541 Sure it's doable, but Chris Wolstenholme never played the synth part, neither live nor on the album. CoverSolutions plays covers as true to the original as possible.

[@c4gam1ng12]

@@justindarden5998 No, it’s not. Rocksmith is stupid for tricking people into thinking it is. That part is played on a synth. It’s not in the isolated bass track, and Chris doesn’t play it live.

I personally prefer to use a three finger picked gallop rather than picking for this, but that's because I learnt it using Rocksmith

[@jaaz.handss]

Same

[@TheCrashx]

but the rocksmith chart is also palm mutes though?

[@therobotFrom94]

not the whole way through, and it's probably poor technique on my part but I mute with my frethand if i can
