How to play like Paul Gray of Slipknot - Bass Habits - Ep 82

[@ProphetTLK]

Paul’s style was always a mystery to me. Love his philosophy as a bassit and how his number w/ joey #1 & #2 meant a lot. Maggots certainly miss Paul.

[@huaynax]

Paul's bass tone always manage to bring a dark and creepy atmosphere into the songs, specially Iowa and Purity

[@subhuman6903]

And especially Gently

[@40_BluntsYT]

Cant forget tattered and torn

[@pauliewalnuts829]

His bass tone on Iowa is what metal bass should sound like.

[@nicorepetto5781]

I love this series so much. As a relatively new bass player (bit over a year) this series has helped me understand the role of bass and how to create good basslines. On top of that its also absolutely fascinating seeing how other bass players express themselves artistically. I'm in a band now and creating basslines for it has been some of the most fun I've ever had in my 20 years on this planet. Thank you, Paul for making these videos. (P.S. I'd love to see a bass habits episode on Scott Reeder from Kyuss)

[@ATNMMF]

Every time I see this video I can’t help but cry, to see the pain Corey is in breaks my heart. They were friends from day one till the end, people don’t understand how close everyone in the band was with each other. 14 years later both Paul and Joey are gone, the heart and soul that helped shape this band from day one. The loss of someone you love is the worst feeling a human can ever feel. From one metalhead to another, a bassist to another, Flt high Paul you will always be missed. 08/04/72 - 24/05/10 🕊️ And you too Joey 26/04/75 - 26/07/21 🕊️ Your legacies will never die for as long as us maggots live.

[@SLIPKNOT_BASSIST]

Paul gray is my favorite bassist and thats why I opened my slipknot bassist channel to commemorate him

[@ATNMMF]

Gained a sub brother 💔🤘🏻

[@SLIPKNOT_BASSIST]

​@ATNMMF thanks man and I hope you like my covers and please give me some feedback if you like the sound and if you can hear the bass ok and thank you for the sub much appreciated

[@nostromoalien2]

Hell yes. Subbed. Check my slipknot covers on my channel too 💕

[@nostromoalien2]

One of the reasons i picked the bass 22 years ago. People sleep on Paul but he was. A solid bassist

[@adambidas9425]

Would love to see you tackle Dirk Lance from Incubus bass habits. Some seriously funky lines from that era of that band.

[@rockboy360]

They say Mike Einziger wrote all of the basslines for him

[@111_teddy]

Just watched all of the videos in one go from this series. Great work Paul. Subscribed!

[@thomasfioriglio]

Very cool. I know very little about Slipknot, but I find learning about bass players, their style and technique interesting. One of my favorite series here on KZbin. Well done Paul.

[@DavidNorth49]

He started out as a guitarist that’s why

[@johnbehan1526]

The bass guitar is a guitar 🤔

[@tonesdad0408]

​@@johnbehan1526oh and bass is cooler than an electric too, right? 😂

[@THICCMando66]

Said no remotely knowledgeable musician ever ​@@johnbehan1526

[@ChamisBass]

RIP paul gray

[@krms2504]

The Tuning was actually either drop b or a (a e a d). But the Video ist still great

[@ElliYeetYT]

And Scissors was in the tuning of F# F# B E

[@PontiusPontiac]

I was always told the bassist only dropped the E to B and kept everything else in standard :0

[@krms2504]

[@Worran]

[@lucaspaulo6562]

​​@@PontiusPontiacthats what i do when im playing at the gates

[@vitoczek]

Another great one. Please, You should do an episode about Klaus Fluoride:)

[@voidcat1638]

One of my favorites

[@ATX-ps5ss]

The amount of research you put into this, is mind-blowing. Very well done

[@MattDracula]

First video of yours I've found, but it's awesome! Like and subbed 👍 keep up the good work, brother :)

[@joaobuenostall855]

Friend, the tunings are wrong, they are: Drop B: B F# B E Drop A: A E A D Scissors and music IOWA: F# F# B E Slipknot never used Standard tunings and always Drop tunings Remember, this is not a criticism of the video, it is just a correction of the facts. Congratulations on the work Paul

[@krms2504]

I think circle IS the only Song that uses Standard Tuning

[@thevenomousT]

Paul actually mostly used the tuning B F# B E

[@nanko8428]

could u do Chi Cheng from the deftones? love this series!

[@krms2504]

Thank you for that Video Paul . Now I can have finally my Peace 👍🏾. But my next recommendation would BE the bassist from the distillers

[@creepymccreepers]

I’m hoping to get a bass and tune it to drop b soon but I am almost done paying off my diff mckagan

[@s.carpenter5278]

If not already done. Could you do one of these on Jesse F Keeler from Death From Above 1979?

[@jimmyrayne5425]

Paul was originally a guitarist, which is why he played like he did. I’m primarily a guitarist as well but I also play bass.

[@creepymccreepers]

Love your vids

[@subparnaturedocumentary]

cool vid. paul played left handed like me! although much much better lol

[@Frank-kj6fs]

Hey, you'll get there soon, keep rockin it.!

[@subparnaturedocumentary]

@@Frank-kj6fs thanks!

[@adihell-9535]

It will take time I am left-handed as well and have been playing for years but practice makes perfect. Stay BrutaL and Stay Safe 🤘

[@ericbles]

That is why I love mfkr

[@mattoneill7544]

im so confused because in the song iowa you can hear the open note its a f# or Gb not an A, was it played on a 5 string or a 4 string?

[@krms2504]

4 string With a f# f# b e tuning

[@nikolaiplotnikov7243]

Dear Paul, can you do a bass habits video on Rick Savage of Def Leppard?

[@kameronwraithd.k.5363]

Could you do next Chris Slorach (METZ) or Cameron Picton (black midi)?

[@creepymccreepers]

Great

[@egscryo297]

Could you do How to sound like Steve Harris please if you've not done it already? It would be awesome to watch! :)

[@johnbehan1526]

This one is very good, although the format is a bit "KZbinr" kzbin.info/www/bejne/moHdYoCAf7yWrNE

[@Sick_Rat_The2nd]

He used drop tunings. Drop B (B-F#-B-E) he even says it in the behind the player dvd you are mentioning. and Drop A

[@SunnyBeeRandomTuber]

For left handed guitarists, get a right handed bass and vice versa for right handed guitarist.....then down tune the lowest string to drop B.....then strum with your finger overr a pick

[@nate-8888]

pauls tuning was BF#BE not BEAD

[@fritzgeraldcormancedeno9077]

Do Dana Strum Next

[@creepymccreepers]

I wonder why Paul tuned it to bead and not bf#be like the guitars

[@krms2504]

He actually tuned His Bass bf#be

[@Iakovospavlidis18]

I want to say something about craig jones the mystery figure he was the keyboardist and sampler of the band until 2023

[@hewiebecker6165]

It's a pity that with a lot of the full tilt slipknot sections the bass is almost imperceptible. This video focuses on his sound in the context of the band which is good but his bass stems are almost ridiculously technical. And I wouldn't have known if V-man didn't mention it.

[@krms2504]

When and where did v man mention that

[@derekpierkowski7641]

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@trrevino]

W vid

[@amv_deniz]

His tuning was b f# b e

[@maxheimguitarwizard5817]

How to play like Paul grey, be Paul. You will never be able to do what he did.

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

All of these nu metal bass players wouldn't exist without GC Greene

[@creepymccreepers]

Cause slipknot is bf#beg#c# and then drop a on later albums except one album has some drop c songs

[@ColinDada99]

He mostly played in drop B: B, Gb, B, E. Not BEAD

[@faz4983]

Thumb, not a corvette

[@Ps3t]

Thumb, not corvette.

[@JoeKenyon-g3m]

Weird how the bassist and drummer worked as the backbone? Come on man!

[@johnbehan1526]

My middle name is Paul. If it had been my first name, maybe I would be better at bass.

[@lukeinghram769]

Bass Tab Request. Journey - Faithfully.

[@mangycat2]

Saw the title and for a second thought it was Paul Gray from the Damned. Bummer. He's a much cooler bass player.
