[@daveweed2765]

Yep bass seems so easy one string at a time but...who are you following? No wierd slapping crap but still locked in with the drums and playing with the guitars.

[@daveweed2765]

Oh and not to mention those higher octaves that really stand out from the guitar. Bass is a fuckin' beast. Dont have to be a music prodigy but do need to know music theory to stand out.

[@rickyrydell]

As a bass player for over 40 years, I find this so satisfying. Thanks for sharing!

[@Metal_Horror]

He's definitely one of my favorites. His tone is perfect. His attack is very consistent, and his timing is impeccable. He knows how to pace every song with satisfying fills. He uses octaves and slides so well. His riffs are groovy as hell. People describe him as punk bassist playing funk. I like that description, especially when you consider songs like Mr. Brownstone, Michelle, Jungle, etc. Very pfunky.

Just like in life, what's in the back, those subtle details that we don't see easily, there's where beauty resides. If we could see what's underneath life we would never believe our eyes only.

[@justsomeguywithoutabeard9120]

Well said

[@eytschmaen]

It's very interesting to just listen to one single piece of a song which you have heard a few thousand times before. Puts things in a different perspective while it helps you gain some music theory knowledge. Duff's bass play is such an important element for this song, laying a very decent groundwork for the other musicians to add their own part for this whole thing to become a rock masterpiece.

most ppl miss out that little low note in between the main bits in the verses

[@jaredfells5825]

Yeah honestly when I’m trying to play it I’m terrible at muting notes especially when it’s an open string so I usually just leave it out, definitely not the same but it still sounds the same to people that don’t know the line themselves

[@morganclarke490]

Got a bass a couple weeks ago and I learned Iron Man by Black Sabbath. Now I'm trying to learn this by ear and it's my first time learning by ear. Where do I even start?

[@narrowurethra182]

Start by learning the main root riffs, and playing the main skeleton of the song, then start over from the start and learn the filler licks one at a time.

Hi Duff mckagan We love you from Philippines 😊😊❤❤

[@ashpreet.singh07]

1:46 this part sounds like the strings is tuned slightly too high very very slightly

[@TexturaI]

Sometimes obviously just used for the sharper or brighter sound. Sometimes it's a pain when bands, songs or certain musicians use a very specific tuning. The Jar of Flies EP by AIC has something like that for the bass D# but a bit higher. Especially a bit more work when you're trying to pull off a 1:1 sound.

[@tristencoon8198]

His bass seems much louder or at least higher in the mix than this in the actual studio recorded song

[@XanBcoo]

Auditory illusion. The rest of the instruments occupying any low frequencies end up making the bass sound thicker. Really cool
