Top 10 Bass: My Chemical Romance (Tab in Description)

Hey guys! I get a ton of requests to cover songs and unfortunately I don't have the chance to cover them all. To try and fulfill these requests, I decided to start a new series of videos called "Top 10 Bass" where I cover some of the most challenging and iconic bass riffs by artists. Big shoutout to Adam Aarts, his Muse cover inspired me to do this. Please tell me any suggestions/improvements I can make to these videos and what artists/songs should I cover next. Enjoy!

Thanks for checking out my Top 10 Bass MCR video! I just posted a video for the Top 15 Mikey Way/MCR bass lines using the official backing tracks. Watch it using the link below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5vOi42dibJmbLc

OMG YOU HAVE THE MIKEY WAY MUSTANG BASS

[@Milan-sz5gg]

HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THAT?!

[@LordAquadian]

I have the Frank Iero Phant O Matic

[@DOOMGENERATION]

@Mikey Way In case you don't play bass yet and really want to start out, I can actually recommend the Mikey Way bass, it plays smooth like butter. I was lucky and got mine for 338€ on ebay in like new condition. So best bet is you keep an eye on ebay and hopefully catch one!

[@Deadman4818]

The Dryline i have it too but im pretty sure you cant buy the bass anymore like i bought my guitar 2 years ago and im pretty sure i couldnt buy the bass i wish i could of bought the bass bc its kinda more rare but ill probally get a used one down the line

[@yumekothewhitewolf8350]

I got mine for 226 bucks in pretty good condition about a year ago and it plays pretty good

[@dragoweedacorpse9746]

mikey ways signature bass i see, thats sick

[@caljackman1]

You can tell he's really into the Planetary (GO!) bass line

[@fienriviere3703]

i dont blame him at all lol

[@jmb8698]

so am i lol

[@andwhoareyou5820]

Same tho

[@noelle4460]

Same lmao

[@kenthiccerson4410]

yeah its my favorite mcr bassline to play

[@pedrocerda6574]

I always remember thinking while listening to mcr "they really didn't turn the bass up enough in this" or was it just me who can't hear it?

[@lizax3027]

+Pedro Cerda ikr!

[@TristanKillinger]

tru

[@imnotninja8256]

Pedro Cerda they did indeed, its just that mikeys bass lines usually follow the guitar and it makes it difficult to tell if its the guitar or bass making the bass noise. but they always had it loud enough.

[@HonestFarmerLigue1Fan]

@@imnotninja8256 It is not Mikey's fault. I played MCR songs on bass (mainly The Black Parade ones) and the bassline cannot be too fancy or it would ruin the song. House Of Wolves, Disenchanted, Famous Last Words, I Don't Love You, the blame is on the whole band for writing music like that.

[@geesauce3850]

Well imo, i think bass doesn't need to turn the volume that high because bass is all about the tone not the volume

[@elizabethblack1453]

MCR had some really amazing bass lines. They should've turned Mikey up in my opinion.

[@theneverlandnightmare3732]

Elizabeth Black Exactly! I listen to MCR songs and I can barely hear the bass!

[@HWei-ju8ut]

theneverlandnightmare same here :(

[@jamesjuaneza8251]

IT'S BECAUSE IT'S. LAYERED. YOU CAN'T HEAR THE BASS BECAUSE IT BLENDS IN WITH THE OTHER INSTRUMENTS. i understand it's just an opinion, but, it was MCR's idea to make it like that.

[@assholian3225]

@@jamesjuaneza8251 everyones entitled to an opinion, and he thinks the songs would song better if the Bass was louder because how much talent was put into it

[@danieljung9078]

Mikey wasnt really good at bass in my opinion I mean he was good but he's not like geddy lee level or anything

[@다빈-h3e]

I could listen to MCR songs with only the bass guitar all day and I won't get sick of it. 😊

[@meganthefencer694]

Same!

[@winterrr2119]

Same here

Mikey's bass is so pretty and it sounds so nice 😩😭 (also this is a real cool idea for a series)

[@jetl9594]

I loved the way that some of the songs just seemed to.. fade into each other

[@kdshelic]

I like this idea of top 10 quite a lot, I just wish it were a bit longer so some songs would have more time to shine. Anyways, kudos, good job

[@elliestone7341]

i only just noticed you doing this and i see you still do it: you might want to put the thumb of your left hand behind the neck instead of over it because it kind of holds you back from playing fast and accurately that way.

[@MyBassistChris]

@@matiasdistefano90 Ah true true I decided to put flats on my Mikey Way about a year ago. Honestly the Mikey Way does a better job for indie rock than emo rock so I decided to put the flats on it. Hope you're having a great Christmas as well!
