The Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get It Started (bass cover with tabs in video)

[@mshnaidstein]

Whoever made this baseline is a genius and groove master

[@metodoinstinto]

Nah, it's pretty basic and derivative

[@mshnaidstein]

@@metodoinstinto it’s not basic at all . Do you know how hard it is to come up with a bass line like this ? What are you talking about

[@lucasduarte9156]

@@metodoinstinto THAT is the point. It's definitely HARD make the simple sound so good.

[@saravergaro2329]

I agree. Icon.

[@Rekeza]

bass was played by Mike Fratantuno, no wiki info, and no idea if he wrote it or just played it

[@WoWFenris]

One of those songs that was so mainstream I always forget an unedited version existed. Thanks for the upload!

[@ladykikkoman]

This is insanely fun to play. Thank you for doing this!

[@dayshawna]

i like how you have the original song playing but the title is the other version 😂

My opinion that with stupid sounds better

Love this baseline it's a lot easier to play than it sounds or looks thanks for the tabs!

[@Crash2001]

Thank you for having the original!!

[@redcopenhagen1821]

Sweet cover and thx for the tabs!!!

[@HarryMusicStuff]

Thanks Red! :-) I am glad you like it. Tabs are hard to come by - and they shoud be shared! :)

[@antoinereid5299]

This seems way harder than it actually is I have only been playing bass for a few months but I literally memorized the first bit in a few minutes

[@bethlehemeisenhour5807]

You got it.

[@nickhall1115]

The hard part is writing it in the first place.

[@droland3949]

A lot of baselines aren’t so hard to learn how to play. With the base, all the skill is in the timing and consistency. Good luck with your base journey!

[@SantiagoSanchez-dg8lk]

those fingers in 60fps gets me started

[@marcoslovato877]

Hell yeah the original version,I remember hearing this on harold and Kumar go to white castle!

[@nickhall1115]

Hot tub Time Machine was my favorite application of the song

[@TheRikkieg]

Awesome. Loved playing with your tabs. Thanks again Harry!

[@ricardodecima8622]

man... is there a reason that instead of "started" the song says "retarded"? is it just trolling? great work btw, some videos were a great help to me. bye

[@HarryMusicStuff]

Hello RIcardo! Thanks for your comment! Well tthis is actually the original version of the song. They had to change the lyrics afterwards for obvious reasons :-D. But most of fans like this version better. :-)

[@jamvortix]

I tought was something like ytp

Copyright?

[@pottingsoil]

How young are you guys??

[@jumongers27]

Because the first lyrics are "lets get retarted"

[@yongpotato7473]

Got my fingers freeze 🥶 very well played sir

[@anna_leaman]

loads of people saying it’s hard, just break it down in to smaller sections and speed it up as you go. it’s quite simple

[@samuel9272]

Literally what my trumpet teacher did when I used to struggle, start at a slow bpm then speed up past the original before bringing it back down

[@tornadojohnson3178]

very helpful video thank you

Keep practicing man you’ll be able to do it soon, just takes practice! Try playing it slower first then progress to the original tempo

Damn... There is some hosting issue. Give me some time, I'll fix it. Sorry :-(.

[@HarryMusicStuff]

I had to change the hosting provider, which was for some reason blocking my downloads. It's working now :-). Have fun with this awesome bassline.

[@majorthelad1863]

This bass line is better with the Scaccato, like Victor wooten and it feels like your fingers are dancing

[@kerchoo3624]

Thought I was trippin when it started

[@charleswiersma7370]

Nice song to play man.. thanks

[@deloth972]

its just me or the song is actually saying "retarded" instead of "Started"?

[@Snomadu]

It’s the original before they changed it

[@alfie6441]

This is gonna be my level two song

[@Meelton]

Interlude part is wrong. It's G, A and F#

[@mutantbaby1672]

Yes. A lot of people don't get why common practise period theory tells you not to write parallel 5ths. This is the reason right here. Can't really blame him for hearing it wrong.

[@Feericheskiy]

это интересный подход)

[@kr0k0deilos]

super awesome, but the bass could be a bit louder in the mix
