Tips And Comments:
Playing Technique: Played next to the bridge pickup, low strength for intro/verses, high strength for everything else. Both pickups on, full tone
Gear Sound: Added low end, some bass and treble, boost around 1.5 k, cut a bit of mids, high gain. Both DI and amp. Not quite happy with the tone, i think i needed newer strings

BECOME A PATRON TO GET SONGS/TABS: www.patreon.com/coversolutions Obviously a great line. I had no fresh strings while recording this, so the tone is not that bright as i wanted it to be. I had to raise some highs to compensate for it. For the main riff is very important to practice it slowly at first, getting the nuances. Controlling the resonance of the Low D string may be hard also, try using your RH thumb to mute when needed to. I'll wait for your questions on the comments. About harmony, the song is centered on the key of Dm, approaching more into F for the Chorus/Intro. The line itself uses lots of good inversions in the Chorus/Intro, then goes on with a riff centered on Dm7 and on the choruses mostly supports with the tonic with fills on the same key. You could say there's a Phrygian approach on the Eb played on the riff, but is very subtle. Other that that, it remains mostly diatonic: Dm Key (relative to F)(B's are flat) I Dm (D F A) or Dm7 (D F A C) for this case (extended harmony) II Edim (E G Bb) III F (F A C) IV Gm (G Bb D) V Am (A C E) VI Bb (Bb D F) VII C (C E G) I'm open for suggestions, corrections and whatever opinion no the comment section

[@nextplanet7100]

The transition at 3:00 is such an important turn around. The earlier segways are all pauses/dropout slow parts and the thrust just brings it all back it’s absolutely genius!!

[@jasonbentley9968]

I just can't get over how funky this is. Especially at 2:36 it's just boss

[@FraldinhoBJJ]

That’s what I was just thinking Flea was like “let me just totally make a upbeat funk riff and see if Anthony notices since he doesn’t play any instruments and frusciante is so bad he’s just going to be happy I’m taking attention away from his whack guitar skills .” lol

[@quaidkeith6616]

I’m disappointed my jazz bass only has like 19 and a half frets, I’ll probably get a stingray to play it because they have like 21 or something

[@quaidkeith6616]

Doyoon Han some of the Ibanez and some sting rays have like 24 or something

I’ve been a fan of this video for about 2 years, and like 2-3 weeks ago I finally got my first bass. Cort Action DLX V-as OPN The sole reason I bought a bass with 24 frets was just to be able to play this.

[@IDesertt]

When you just have a 20 frets bass...

[@tastefulpigeon4784]

Desertt mine is 21 with just a bit sticking out into 22, I hyped myself up thinking I could play only to receieve a very hollow sound feelsbadman

[@112niemand]

I guess you could try to play that line an octave lower, so that it is in the range you have

It's about time you did this song, great moves, keep it up, proud of you.

[@liamblake6042]

Been waiting for this cover for a while. I think your tone still sounds great and goes along with the song really well, and your dynamics and use of strength is just brilliant.

99.9% correct. In the Dm7 interlude parts, in my opinion there are some ghost notes that you missed out. But that's it. Great cover and tone

Couldn't say i heard any ghost notes in the bass only track. I'll check again

[@duncanambrose206]

Love how everyone's complaining about not being able to play this when you could just, y'know, shift up a string. $5 says flea probably played this on his J Bass or Musicman so that'd what he woulda been doing anyways

Bonjour j'adore ce que vous faites je prends souvent modèle sur vous pour réaliser mes ligne de basse de reprises mais je ne trouve pas la vidéo sur Merci Merci des Red Hot car j'aimerais bien la reprendre si vous pouviez la mettre en ligne, çe serait sympa. Merci d'avance

[@NamikazeKyuuga]

Just something worth noticing: in the tab you go all the way to the 22nd fret. But most basses (and including the most popular ones like Fender/Squier) only have 20 frets. I know it's probably the right note and it's how Flea played on the record but you should keep in mind that since most people only have 20 frets you should use different notes to people can follow the tab without wondering where to go. Obviously the 22nd D Fret (C) can be played on the 17th G Fret but not everyone (especially beginners) think of that quickly.

[@CoverSolutions]

Yeah i skipped that detail, but you are right, the same note is available on the G 17

[@LolFreak3dLP]

And you can play that one note which is on the 21 fret of the g string, one octave lower so the 14 on the d string for example

[@jay8819]

Kyuuga that's why you should buy a 24 fret bass.

[@NamikazeKyuuga]

No, you don't. I personally love Fender basses and they feel just fine to me. I'm not gonna buy a 24 fret bass just for a couple of songs.

[@jay8819]

Kyuuga people seem to think an extra few frets are expensive. And to say "I'm not going to buy a 24 fret bass for a few songs" well, I guarantee you there are plenty of songs that use above 20th fret. And also, what about making your own music. You are already limiting yourself. I haven't even got a Squire, never mind a Fender. I can't afford that much money. I still have a 24 fret bass that I'm pleased with tho, its called "looking around for a good price" I do not care what brand it is or not.
