White Wedding Bass Cover

[@JVon76]

2:24 = Awesome ha ha! Well done as always.

[@TJH3113]

What an idiot, I forgot I did that. Haha.

[@patstor]

Hahaha "caught in the moment" youre not the only one :P

[@kennet7837]

Couldn't have been synched more perfectly! I love miming to some of the vocal lines when playing bass.

[@Ninjaspyfan]

Are you ever going to do a video showing off your whole bass collection? I'm curious to see which models you prefer and why.

[@GlennKidd]

Hi! My brother is Phil Feit who plays bass on "White Wedding" as well as the entire album BILLY IDOL. He played "White Wedding" with a pick not his fingers on the right hand and it is 8th notes. We have seen a lot of bassists playing it inaccurately on KZbin with the fingers & positioning though you are playing it in the right position on the 7th fret starting on the B note on the E string. And there is slight compression on it too in which you got. Overall, nice job and it's really cool to hear people like yourself be influenced by Phil's playing and that song. Cheers! 😃🎸

[@Rose-cp7wv]

GLENN KIDD Your brother is an awesome bass player! I hope he still playing. He needs to rejoin Billy Idol in the future!

[@GlennKidd]

Thank you, Rose for the kind words about Phil. I’m just now seeing your comment a year later. Phil still does play both live and in the studio. Rejoining Billy’s band would be cool. 😃

[@Zubao]

Wow, I'd like to thank your brother so much for those basslines. I've been an Idol fan since I was a small Kid, and even before I understood what the bass even was, I was addicted to this bassline and Daytime Drama's. And now, if I play bass years after, he had a great rule on it. Thanks Phil!

[@GlennKidd]

Thanks Guilherme for your kind words about Phil’s bass playing. As his brother, I am a fan of his playing too. He didn’t play on Daytime Drama though he did do a pre-production version of it as well as many other songs on album Rebel Yell. Steve Stevens is the bass player on Daytime Drama. If you have the 1999 expanded version of Rebel Yell, Phil is on the session takes for Rebel Yell, Motorbikin’, and Flesh For Fantasy.

[@mikecoulahan7549]

Great bass. I have the Guild B-301 on the stand behind your from '78. First bass I ever owned. I bought it new. People still love it when I take it out to play at rehearsals or gigs. My close friend Tom had the B-302. Rock on!!!!

[@punishmentforall]

Thanks - great as usual. We played this cassette to oblivion back in the day.

[@maldivirdragonwitch]

Let me just make it clear: these are definitely 8th notes. :D The song is in 4/4 and the snare plays on the second and fourth beat, like with most songs. You're playing two notes per beat - thus, they're 8th notes. It's not complex stuff, people. :) That aside: your constant even tone is amazing! It's exactly what these songs need! Thank you for sharing, it's a pleasure to hear such a good bass tone and performance!

[@TJH3113]

Thank you for clearing that up Maldivir. And thanks for the kind words, I appreciate them.

[@Sztermel]

Brings back memories of GTA: San Andreas!

[@my2centsiz3]

I love how you put your own spin on the song, and do it your way, That to me makes you great

[@TJH3113]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it.

[@jonocampo2292]

man those updates on the video description were wild. What a roller coaster. Then the next words that continued the story made me laugh a good hearty laugh. Thank you.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to read the fine print.

[@WilliamYoder72]

You're like the only guy I've seen play a Guild. I have a Guild V. Absolute tone monster.

[@ThunderBassistJay]

100% Cool tone, rhythm and playing! The song keeps your right hand going for the full 254 seconds.

[@lukehaddix4710]

Loved it. I'm going to have to play it now. Thanks

[@TJH3113]

Awesome! Have fun!

[@shaunboast3867]

Nice Troy! "Pick it up!" .... Priceless!

[@TJH3113]

Haha!

[@TAYLORHWALL]

Great playing homie! A that Guild is beautiful! Cheers from Newfoundland, Canada!

[@TJH3113]

Thank you. Yes, the Guilds are among my favorites.

[@MariaNickLambert]

thanks for this - just learning it for a wedding my band are playing soon... you nailed it of course

[@TJH3113]

Always happy to be of service! Thanks.

[@ramoncamus8093]

Great cover Troy! It's always a nice day when I see you play. Thank you for sharing.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks.

[@RCAvhstape]

Awesome. I have an extended version of this song, a record made for DJs to use at parties or clubs or whatever. That spacey part in the middle is like five minutes long. Great song, great song, great simple groove bass line, and as always, great cover.

[@Thisisspacemusic]

Great cover of an awesome tune from my childhood! That bass is so rad; looks and sounds so cool!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks!

[@HometownAnomaly]

Very solid cover mate, love it! Cant wait to check out your future videos.

[@LivScarfi]

I was waiting for this cover!! Awesome.

[@synystersevilheir]

That Guild sounds gorgeous - almost like a fatter Ric 4001

[@bapt_andthebasses]

Post 1974 4001, yes !

[@ramoncamus8093]

You ROCK! Wish I could play like you. Thanks for sharing.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. Some time and patience is all it takes. Thank you for watching.

[@Agast]

Great cover! Sounds very good, keep the good work

[@TJH3113]

Thank you! Will do!

[@timperley69]

Hard to believe i was 12 when this album came out, good work as usual Troy.

[@JimmyJames714]

Great job Troy! Not to take away from your performance, because playing a song like this is tough and relentless, but those are 8th notes. The guitar noise that starts the song is 16ths. It goes 1e&a-2e&a-3e&a-4e&a {4 for each beat} Then you come in and go 1&-2&-3&-4& {2 per beat} BTW, I also got a kick out of 2:24

[@cocottedemai9183]

those 8th are exhausting! solid cover as always.

[@limestonelizard]

I like all your videos because you're super clean. Tight as hell man! Nice job thanks for sharing

[@TJH3113]

Thanks a lot.

[@xpatsteve]

Sounds great, nice cover! A band I was in covered this tune, I had my B-302 at the time. I know what you mean about the endless 8th notes. I always played this song with a pick. Helped a lot with the "endurance" and gave an extra bit of ring to the tone.

[@laney50w]

Killer cover! You totally nailed that bass tone!!!

[@wandawong]

Thank you! The theme song from Sergio Leone's "A Fistful of Weddings" ...and also heard briefly in "For a Few Weddings More". Clint was so great in that one!

[@TheDp1965]

Nice and tight. Awesome job.......Wait for it......... PICK IT UP! Cheers.

[@miketaylor7440]

For a guy who doesn't look down the lens of the camera like so many others, the pick it up part was great! Great playing as usual.

[@TJH3113]

Once and a while I like to see if anyone is paying attention. Thanks.

[@sneed_]

huh that's weird, I was at a Billy idol concert literally YESTERDAY

[@kntrlr]

As always...outstanding!

[@Phaidrus]

Hey, would you consider doing Guns of Brixton?

[@onecircle1]

Your ready to go on tour with Billy! That is a physical song with all those sixteenths. A lot harder to do than it looks.

[@dragnetf]

you have a distinct and great style.

[@colinanderson8740]

Youve certainly nailed that . Nice guitar aswell

[@TJH3113]

Thank you Colin.

[@neilh9442]

Bravo as always TJH! I gotta luv a song from my teens. Steve Stevens is underated for his guitarwork, imho. he's no SRV or EVH, but unique and tasteful. (and no ez task to decypher for me)

[@SquirrelMinecraftin]

Whoops, just realized you did roundabout! I'd like to see it played by you now and compare it to how you played it back then!

[@briansmithpeters548]

Awesome!!! Great Cover

[@rickrolli7091]

Nice cover man. I was curious if the bass did a little wandering in the bridge. I guess not and that's a confirmation of what I was hearing. Rock on!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. No, he keeps it pretty straight. I'll try.

[@jmcrae825]

Well done. As usual.

[@marvinewilliams8281]

Impressive tempo!!!!! Reminds me of a cowboy riding his horse in the desert!!!!!! Cool!!!!!!

[@TJH3113]

It is, isn't it? Thanks.

[@marvinewilliams8281]

You never miss a beat do you? I love it!!!!!!

[@TJH3113]

Once and a while.

[@jatwomey]

Phil is awesome on this tune. Really Solid.

[@TJH3113]

He certainly is, isn't he? Thanks.

[@EnergyAndLightAwakening]

LMAO!!!! I can't believe you did this. A fun song though.

[@NowPleaseReadThis]

Would you say this bass line is an example of pocket playing? I mean the rapid repetition needs to be totally on pocket in order to pull off the energy and drive of the song. Surprising difficult I would think despite it's simplicity. Did they use a lot of compression on the bass in the recording? Michael Anthony of Van Halen has fingers that could pop off his hand and walk around the World when supplying this simple but difficult to keep up totally on pocket plucking pattern.

[@TJH3113]

I guess it could be considered "pocket playing". Pocket playing is anytime the bass is played in perfect time with the beat/groove. Personally, I find songs like this difficult to play. Not sure about the amount of compression used. Yes, Michael Anthony is a class act. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Take care!

[@Nicecardude100]

Very good

[@jimreid5]

This song is badass, badass bass, badass you.

[@mimoochodom2684]

Love it!!

[@TJH3113]

Thank you.

[@gordon7443]

"pick it up" ha ha

[@IgnacioSimon]

brilliant!

[@shaunbrianscullion6846]

SWEET.

[@stevedion8031]

I used to crush this on my kid's Rock Band 2 game 🤣

[@TJH3113]

Awesome!

[@fragbert66]

I'm the same way. Index finger alternating with middle, swap to just the index finger, and finally I'll do it Geddy-style and use my middle finger alternating up and down. 16th notes? Time to surrender to the inevitable and break out a pick.

[@corneroftheroom3896]

Damn good tone

[@SquirrelMinecraftin]

Could you do Death Of A Bachelor by Panic! At the Disco and roundabout by Yes if you havent yet?

[@drew64rush82]

Well here I am again looking to learn a new song and there you are..Lol..I can’t believe how many different songs you cover.. great job by the way.. I was wondering do you have or every played around with a 6 string bass??? The reason I ask is because my brother in law just turned me on to a band called Dream Theater..to me there like a cross between Rush and Metallica.. have you ever heard of them?? There bass player is unreal he plays nothing but a 6 string and I swear he has the longest fingers I’ve ever seen..some of there stuff for me personally is hard to wrap my head around it’s just crazy.. most of there songs are really long and they change keys and tempo like crazy.. well once again I’ve taking up a lot of your time but just want to see if you’ve ever checked them out?? If not give them a listen and please let me know your thoughts on them..just curious to see what you think..have a great day...

[@TJH3113]

Yeah, my musical interests are pretty wide and varied... to an extent. No, I have never played a 6 string bass. It just never interested me, I don't play very much in the guitar range unless I have to. Yes, I've heard of Dream Theater and have seen them a couple of times. Amazing musicians, but their music never resonated with me. I like some complex music, but I don't like complexity solely for the sake of complexity, which is how their music comes across to me. But, to be honest, I've never really explored their catalog. Another pet peeve with that band is that the bass player gets one of the worst recorded and live bass sounds I've ever heard. I'm sure it's not his fault... probably has more to do with the recording/mixing engineer, but I hated to see a guy who is obviously doing some amazing stuff and not being able to hear a note of it.

[@drew64rush82]

TJH3113 ,very cool that you again for getting back to me.. I agree with you on dream theater from what I’ve listen to.. and it’s a real shame with the bass not being heard.. well once again thank you for your opinion.. I just really like your videos and i think your a awesome bass player.. and I just like getting your thoughts..have a great day...!!!

[@layol692k7]

+TJH3113 superb awesome I want to get this good some day

[@TJH3113]

Thanks! You can and you will!

[@veblenrules]

thanks or playing and 8th note bass line perfectly as usual. why this ever became an argument is beyond me. if you want 16th notes listen to some funk.

[@brandonh5201]

I love my 5 string and use the low b as often as I can and read tabs better then actual notes...in other words whats 8th notes mean in my language? Lol.

[@shaun2010ize]

Nice Troy.....

[@GuitarBassCigar]

Your Guilds, including the fretless, have such great tone. Are you using a DI box?

[@ijag9ijag9]

again . Perfect timing . Perfectly tuned ear and detailed intricacies of each Note. I’m a new song writer and was wondering if would u might want to be the featured bassist in one of my upcoming songs ? No pressure . Is there a way I can email u?

[@TJH3113]

Thanks. I'd consider it, but you might be disappointed. My email is ****@aol.com Leave a response here so I can take it down after you get it.

[@ijag9ijag9]

TJH3113 thanks Troy I’ll email u some thoughts for an experiment im wanting to try . I’m a New song writer but I am passionate . I can tell u have amazing natural talent . What I was thinking was to have you to your bass cover to my song as u do here . Question for u .. I’m almost willing to bet a million u play by ear and don’t need a score to play along with a song .. am I right ? Just fabulous covers man! My email is [e-mail]

[@TJH3113]

OK, I will keep an eye out for an email. I have not rec'd one yet, unless I missed it. Yes, I play by ear.

[@ijag9ijag9]

TJH3113 sent it Troy :) should be in your email now mp3 format

[@BelleHammer]

KILLER MASK COLLECTION!! Jack A.

[@Aaron-jn9me]

What do you think of Judas Priest? Maybe do some covers from them? Are you a fan of them?

[@dninja6657]

Love that blonde Guild , Bro. What state are you in n do you do private instruction ?

[@TJH3113]

Great! The Guilds are amongst my favorite basses. I'm in New Windsor, NY and don't do any private instruction at this time.

[@dninja6657]

@@TJH3113 Dam lol. Yeah those are sweet. I'm working w a Schector T Bass a Fender Jazz Deluxe an ESP LTD a 79 Kramer filed down frets n my Aria Pro II. Love your collection , Bro. Ttysoon 🤟😎 °): 🎸🔊💥💨

[@sethchrisman1645]

Nice cover. I lol'd when you said "pick it up" exactly with the guy in a straight face. So why do you like the guilds so much?

[@masterblackmon]

Hell yeah

[@TJH3113]

Thanks

[@alexr4151]

Great version, Troy! Is that another Guild I see in the background?

[@mandoprince1]

The one he is playing is a B-302, in the background there is a B-301, which is basically the same, but with only one pickup.

[@brandonh5201]

Such a nice deep sound, I usually only here it on a low B of a 5 string.....what amp do you use to get such a nice deep sound?

[@TJH3113]

I'm glad you like it. I am playing through a SansAmp Bass Driver.

[@LeoPenna]

que temazo!!!!!!

[@TJH3113]

Lo es, ¿no es así? Gracias por ver.

[@mosesbullrush8051]

From the video description . . . "but those 8th notes can just wear a brother down". lol - those are 16th notes - semi quavers.

[@TJH3113]

No wonder I'm so tired.

[@RCAvhstape]

They sound like 8th notes to me, two note per beat. No?

[@mosesbullrush8051]

Helium Road 1234 - 1234 - 1234 -1234 four notes per beat and four beats per bar so 16 notes per bar.

[@TJH3113]

You might be on to something.

[@RCAvhstape]

Moses Bullrush That seems like a really slow tempo. To me it sounds like 12-12-12-12

[@marvinewilliams8281]

Hi Troy, are you OK? I haven't received a message from you since December. Are you still my friend ? Miss you! Marvine

[@TJH3113]

Yes, Marvine. I replied to a comment a couple of days ago, saying that I was behind in my responses and that I was hoping to catch up this weekend, which I have done. I will always be your friend, so no worries there.

[@lilee45]

Aced it.

[@kingkobina]

Your such an amazing player that after watching a couple of your videos I only just noticed the wall of freaky masks behind you. 👹👺🤡👻

[@TJH3113]

😁

[@darwinsaye]

Whoever was arguing that these were 16th notes has publicly testified as to how little *they* know about basic music, and should probably just stop commenting on music videos altogether, haha

[@TJH3113]

You noticed that I pretty much stayed out of it...haha.

[@gullwing169]

Don't forget to breathe ; )

[@alaskaaudioguy35]

Do a videos of showing off you mask collection

One of these days.
