The Dead Weather's Jack Lawrence on Bass Technique (Episode 2 of 4)

THE DEAD WEATHER SECOND OF FOUR TECHNIQUE AND INSTRUMENT DISCUSSION VIDEOS
DODGE AND BURN OUT NOW
The Dead Weather have released the second of four technique and instrument-based videos. In this second episode, bass deconstructionist, Jack Lawrence, reveals the secrets of how he achieves his distinct bottom end sound for The Dead Weather. Lawrence demonstrates some of his most head nodding bass lines and leaves no question that without the bass, there would be no Dead Weather. The video, directed by Jack White, concludes with an incendiary live performance of "Mile Markers" from the new album Dodge And Burn. Each band members' technique videos showcases a different song from the band’s career, including tracks from their forthcoming album Dodge and Burn (out September 25th). Stay tuned in the coming weeks for the remaining two videos of the series from The Dead Weather and Third Man Records.
Dodge and Burn - the band's third album and first full-length release in five years - is available for
pre-order now, with all digital pre-orders receiving
an instant grat download of "I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)."
The track is also on sale now at digital retailers worldwide.

[@isabellavan1325]

Same XD

[@KickTheFramaLamaLama]

+92fudbaler thats probably the answer

[@shakeshakeyourlove]

+edgeofsins I am legally and medically high(it's better than anti-inflammatories eating away at your stomach lining👍🏼) and that just wrinkled my brain🙃

[@TheRacboys]

The cops might arrest you if you brag about being high unless you can pay to get out of it. Ha ha ha ha

[@markowalski1]

Oh my that clean bass sound melts my heart. So good

[@julkitan3017]

+markowalski yeah me too! I Love this lovely flatwound strings sound!

[@dragonno6587]

+markowalski it sounds flat

[@lillyrocks2011]

Mine too.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Yeah, it sounds killer

[@pacobus24]

That Blue Bloods riff that he does is so f****** sick

[@AndyPandicorn]

i like how jack in the background is like “but you’re high right now?” and jack just goes “im very high right now” lmao

[@Buza3]

ive never heard his voice before I'm shocked and impressed at the same time. he's like a male meg doesn't really talk that much

[@Buza3]

YEAH seem like it. But it works it makes him cool. I do that a bit WITH a friend of mine but we are friends

[@dragonno6587]

+Henry v Zyl i would not call the vocalist insecure... lol

[@Spaghettaboutit]

+Bruno Jansen Check out the video: The Dead Weather: Their Oral History & Future Plans

[@cevatbarisyilmaz]

+Bruno Jansen I don't think he is insecure, he sometimes do vocal in The Greenhornes

[@LeonardoMaciasLeoRazr83]

shut up meg!!!

[@AndrewWilson1991]

I was about to comment on how awesome Jack's snare tone was, but fuck it, everything about this band kicks ass.

[@RaunaqSahu]

So that's how battleships are supposed to shake.

[@isabellavan1325]

Ommgg that Blue Blood Blues pun the XD

[@Spaghettaboutit]

LMFAO This is awesome, glad they are going into this much detail. And the fact that they are willing to fuck around.

[@shakeshakeyourlove]

More lessons please! One of the best parts of the show is seeing how the music is made while you're listening to it… I love that peddle, it's PJ Harvey, To Bring You My Love bass👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 And I am also high... I did not see that coming but that's what I love about Third Man Records videos!

[@lillyrocks2011]

They are sooo amazing musicians, including the vocals, of course. I love them.

[@dude19288]

LJ is always pretty damn awesome

[@ernestoefeh]

No puedes crear algo tan bueno y no sacarlo a dar la vuelta por el mundo. Recapacita, Jack 🙏

[@WOLVEOVSIBERIA]

THEM HIPS THEM HIPS THEM HIPS

[@rocktaste]

I'm a bass guitar lover, and Lil Jack is really amazing at it... Amazing video!

[@asipaleadeci2.0]

he reminds me of Garth from Wayne's World lol

[@whatswiththisnewhandlesthing]

...Was that weed joke... Jack?

[@hotdogs6824]

+littlespriter4735 The song that plays? I think it's a real song. Taking a guess, i would say it's Cypress Hill.

[@whatswiththisnewhandlesthing]

I was more referring to the fact that Jack directs and edits these...

[@AlamdaABalqhin]

aHauhshs LOOL IM LAUGHING SO HARD AT THIS VIDEO ALSDISHUA LOOOL

[@jacobkantor3886]

Im an amature bassist and I just found that running through the distortion chanel on a Fender Rumble 100 with a Digitech Whammy (the one meant for guitar) and using it as an octave pedal gets a pretty dirty sound which ive been using for playing Dead Weather.

[@ChantalMonette]

smarts, talent and looks. love how in depth this goes :D

[@kimbermartell6514]

Real talk, when they started playing mile marker Jack was moving so fast I went to see if I still had the video on 1.5 speed! 😂

[@DanandJoeMusic]

Hey it's the secret song from the label of the Sea of Cowards LP! This is so heavy and awesome!!

[@feelcarlos]

[@timtorstensson987]

[@MarcoOliveira87RP]

[@SunriseRedandwhite]

[@burninglcd]

This video had me in fits laughing. And now I want to buy a micro synth.

[@williamepperson3443]

I hope Jack's next project after the 2018-19 Raconteurs campaign (& that pesky epidemic) is a new Dead Weather album & tour...

[@andrewpappas9311]

[@karinamora546]

Jajaja the weed joke 👽🌈😍 😂

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

As much as I love the throaty sound of the effect on this lick (on "Blue Blood Blues", to be specific), I almost prefer the way it sounds without the effect. It has a John Paul Jones' style sound which I find very appealing.

[@kylemundy2024]

Skrillex on bass

[@johnzuse6805]

lol wut?! yeah I'm down I guess. Legalize it

[@antkeller9378]

Jack lawrence was my always my favorite but that stoner joke pushed it to full on fandom legalize it

[@rev2203]

Not much discussion on much.

[@Zemlianyn_music]

Too much gain)

[@hishykot]

не бывает много гейна хехе

[@TheGuitarModder]

whats with singing with a cigarette in your hand. Is this to look cool or something?

[@avedic]

+elmington Well, where else do you propose putting the cigarette? Call me conventional, but holding something in one's _hand_ seems like a pretty reasonable approach, wouldn't you agree? I suppose she could have put it in her pocket...but that's not very sensible...or convenient, if you want to take a drag in the middle of the song. As to your last question... The _intention_ isn't to look cool; that just happens to be a fortunate side effect. The More You Know...._shooting star_....

[@TheGuitarModder]

+avedic how about going crazy and waiting a few minutes till the end of the song to have a cigarette. Instead being a fucking cliche.

[@TokyoBlue587]

elmington or just...not smoking?

[@Melvin7727]

elmington It's cliche to complain on youtube about people who are much more successful than you.
