Duff is an underrated bassist his skills are top notch

[@kfing1]

He's fucking incredible - am teaching myself Rocket Queen and it's a monster to play with the varied timings

[@walkeremilio6008]

[@ryplay5430]

Duff is incredible

[@RFXLR]

Wasn’t he a guitar player before he was in Guns?

[@SuperBlackops20]

@@RFXLR yeah he plays guitar too

[@elpequenomundodesamumacgre4046]

in 1987 this guys was around 22 years old, that bass line is a kick ass one, like the rest of the members and the songs, they was just super talented all of them

​@@SatanDynastyKillerThe most sarcastic reply ever.

[@LittleJohnaton]

lol at both of you xD

[@juliantrill91]

Absolutely fantastic. Love the mistake at 5:18 is left in - Duff pulls the string off the edge of the fretboard!

[@doomniel]

It's not a mistake, it's a carefully thought out and well executed touch of creativity.

[@ThePsychicFish]

Tbh the end of the song sounds so edge-of-control-exhilirating it's like your accelerator is stuck in a car in downtown congestion and you just clipped the curb!!

[@aidensadler-iles1062]

[@abrahamedelstein4806]

These bass isolation tracks have been an eye opener for me, when I was young and mainly relied on tabs, I remember some incredibly difficult, if not practically impossible bass lines, only to find out later that, no, the songs aren't played that way such as at 4:08 which supposedly doubled the guitar according to many tabs. An other example I can think of is Peace Sells, were the bass doesn't actually double the guitar before during the crescendo build-up which I think might be near impossible at that BPM.

[@YorwerthHiraeth]

What I love about isolated bass tracks is how awful they sound. Really makes absolutely clear what works in a full band mix and what most people (including myself) would avoid when practising in the bedroom. A great example of this is Helter Skelter by The Beatles. Worst sounding isolated bass of all time but incredible in the mix.

[@57precision]

I think what a lot of people don't realize is that doubling the guitar sometimes makes the music less heavy. Bass notes need time to bloom, and the best metal bassists understand this. Michael Anthony's line on "Unchained" is one of my favorite examples.

[@Fireglo]

@@YorwerthHiraeth some actually sound better than the actual song. Eminence Front by The Who with just isolated bass and drums for instance sounds way better than the full band mix. Fade to Black by Metallica's isolated bass I can really dig without the full band mix.

[@dtice69]

@@YorwerthHiraeth this isn't awful though lol. This kicks ass insofar as bass goes. Yeah, as a singular piece of music, not as great as a full ensemble. But Duff's pieces hold up.

[@matthewd6306]

Great bass players such as Duff, Justin Chancellor, and Cliff Burton know not to play the exact guitar parts in fast sections because it sounds like mud. Cliff absolutely had the chops to mimick James' main riff in Master of Puppets but he modified it to not sound muddy, and in doing so made it easier to play.

[@RexfromIslaNublar]

This is literally one of my favourite songs to play on Bass

[@Bojanmarsetic]

Chemistry with Adler. Sorum's nightmare.

[@fredyescape128]

Great job extracting this bas lines! thank you so much! is great to hear Duff so clearly

[@lianzomi6382]

This is just ultra great! Considering the fact that bassist Duffy wrote the song! Long live Duff

[@MtnDan-d4g]

No he didn't.

[@lianzomi6382]

@@MtnDan-d4g yes. He did. Read the book: "It's so easy"

[@MtnDan-d4g]

@@lianzomi6382 Slash said they all wrote it in the back of a van after a gig. What I read could've been wrong though.

[@lianzomi6382]

@@MtnDan-d4g no. Wdr, you got it wrong. Duff wrote in 'Its so easy and other lies' that he had it with him all the way from his hometown Seattle. Sure, the whole band swoop into it. YKW, while on the lyrics, Slash suggested the line: "Where the grass is green and the girls have big t*tt**s". Thank God, calmer haeds previaled

[@lianzomi6382]

Sure. Restrospectively speaking, all the band members all said that all their songs wrote by themselves

[@bretthines1020]

As Fresh as it was 35 years ago. I’ve got a sweet Carvin LB70 and all I can think about is getting a Fender P. I’m learning this song and this helps!

[@mustbampeg]

This bass line is a workout, for sure….

[@jamesrenfro9770]

Awesome!! Can someone tell me how this is done?? Please!!!! Or can you do one for Quicksand Jesus by Skid Row. I’ve been struggling to hear the bass in that song!!

[@thelordofdarkness141]

Someone needs to do slash's outro solo isolated please.

[@fredg.tunglut8819]

duff the genius

[@juanchicabeza7587]

are you extracting this one from the deluxe edition 5.1?

[@Ray-rz6qk]

nightrain please

[@chuckcassidymusic]

This is great. But I'd like to see one of today's modern rock "producers" accept this as a final cut. They'd surely bleed all the life out before they'd be finished with it.

[@emmastokes64]

4:07 onward

[@giacomorinaldi]

hi, could you do more guns n roses bass track like this ?

[@openheimer968]

Exellent again...

[@sbstefan]

Is this from the blu-ray? If so, is it possible to isolate guitars and vocals from there too?

[@scaredycat8685]

It sounds like he picks so fucking hard lol

[@therealeikichionizuka]

Yep. He also has his bass super low, meaning that when he picks, he's scraping against the strings, making a really gnarly sound.

[@kane00000]

He's a big boy. Very stronk hands.

[@momsspaghetti7874]

[@Farewelltokingz]

@@momsspaghetti7874 not quite that hard. But enough to make it sound like he’s popping the D and G strings

@@stratomiesniinsaatanasti5250 someone could recreate duffs sound and rerecord it but add a artificial bleed from other tracks. Like sting added artificial bleed to message in a bottle.

[@whistleblowerer6527]

WTTJ is ripped from guitar hero. i am not even gonna say anything more

[@clinteldorado]

Surely the bleed from the other instruments tells you that it’s real. You think somebody actually bothered to find the right synth tone just for the purposes of deceiving people on KZbin? You can tell it’s real just by Duff’s tone and Steve’s drumming. And before anybody says it’s fake because there’s mistakes on it... yeah, that’s what musicians did before ProTools etc. They made mistakes, tape and studio time was expensive, and if everything else on a take was perfect you’re not gonna re-record the whole thing just because a couple of notes were off. Look at Metallica: Kirk Hammett bent a string too much and pulled it off the neck during the fast solo in “Master of Puppets” but everything else on that take was perfect, so they kept it.

[@andrewwolitzki7799]

LOL. This is not Duff. This is just some guy playing bass. It's in another key altogether.
