Nevermind - Bass Tutorial (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

For years and years I didn't know how to play this bass part. Now that we're able to isolate tracks and slow them down I was finally able to figure out what Flea is actually playing on Nevermind from Freaky Styley!

Never stop, you make me my days more digestible

[@GabrielArias777]

As a bass player and RHCP fan these tutorials are so dope!!

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

I’m glad it’s helpful!

[@zeedy1011]

damn bro i didn't expect you to do the tutorial so soon. You even mentioned me 😁 Great tutorial, notes are spot on, sounds just like the original bass line. Turns out it's actually simple but really really fun to play. For me definitely one of Flea's best slap bass lines. Much appreaciated and subscribed!

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

No problem, glad you appreciate the video!

[@JM-wj8en]

This was great tutorial + i've had lots of fun jamming with the play along at the end (which was vey well made also, the counter was so necessary :) ). Thank you so much!

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

I’m glad you liked it and played along to the track!

[@leandrocalvomusic]

That sound amazing 🤩 I cannot stop watching it!

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

Thanks man!

[@inatesi]

Early peppers are cool

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

They definitely are!

[@pyjabass9856]

I love your new Stingray!!!

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

Me too! It’s my favorite bass!

[@Eleldir]

Just discovered your channel, its amazing! Can you PLEASE play "Meet me at the corner"?. Greetings from Argentina!

[@Benoni0413]

Aaaawwww yeah! Awesome! You rule! 🌶🔥🔥🎸🥳🥳🥳🤙🏽🤘🏽 That's da shizzle!

[@robertomassa731]

Part 1: very good! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Part 2: Hillel made school: there would be no Frusciante without Hillel, in this song is very clear! And there would be no typical RHCP sound without him!

[@liborioribaudo]

Please Transcending! I love that song. Flea and Anthony wrote it for River Phoenix.❤

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

It’s my favorite from OHM!

[@liborioribaudo]

@@RedHotChiliRiffs my favourite from One hot minute is shallow by thy game, transcending is at the second place.

[@MateusPapini]

Até hoje não acredito que eles tocaram esta música no Lollapalooza em São Paulo em 2018. Foi incrível ver mesmo que dá televisão!

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

They played a lot of great old songs with Josh on guitar!

[@MateusPapini]

@@RedHotChiliRiffs For this and other reasons I love Josh! They also played Out In L.A with him and several songs they hadn't played in years. I'm very grateful for that.

[@leandrocalvomusic]

Thank you very much for teaching 😊👍🏼

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

You’re welcome, glad you appreciate it!

[@EmilianoDesideri]

I mean you make him happier 😅

[@pietrue3874]

Hi man, hope you stay safe on your brake from the channel, whenever you'll return remember, there are great supportive fans that will stick with you through thick and thin! much love!

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I’ve been working on some new videos, I’ve recorded five songs so I’ll probably start uploading new content pretty soon!

[@pietrue3874]

That's great to hear! can't wait to hear them!

[@CamMcCann1]

You should do hard to concentrate and others from that album

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

Well made video! The break during the guitar solo that you played at 5:48 should be D and Db instead of E and Db. I just uploaded it to the Moises app minutes ago. What I also found out is that during verse he sometimes played hammer-on from Bb to B on the A string instead of A to B. So it's 0-2, and sometimes 1-2. Flea loves to throw the half steps.

Aquatic mouth dance and Roulette nex please please please 🙂

[@impasta5700]

How about tour tone guides? I love the bass tone from cali tour Also some bsmm covers would be great as well as newer stuff

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

I’ve already done quite a few songs from BSSM. You can find them in the playlists.

[@impasta5700]

Hey man a question What speakers are in those mesa boogie cabs? Also when will you be back?

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

It’s the Mesa/Boogie Road Ready series. I have the 2x10 and the 2x15 cab. I don’t know when I’ll be making new videos. I took a break to spent time with the kids during the summer and next week I’m gonna be working on the music for a new theatre piece. So frankly, I don’t know…

[@impasta5700]

@@RedHotChiliRiffs take your time as always Was wondering specifically what speaker are in those cabs since I’ve seen some of those with EV (electro voice) and mesa archive has speakers in 2x10 noted as power house speakers

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

@impasta5700 no idea what speakers are in the cabs….

[@mattyleighramone734]

[@lorenzoferro1178]

Why you don’t put voice?

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

Because it’s a channel about the riffs.

[@UrFavGuyInABassProShopHat12345]

PLZ PLAY EASILY

[@sernock7292]

Very cool :) Btw, can you show how to make guitar sound for Look around? It is really complex

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]

You can see what gear I used in the description of the video. Do you have a question about a specific part of the song?

[@sernock7292]

I don’t really understand how to make this weird delay intro sound

[@RedHotChiliRiffs]
