1:44 I never noticed because the guitars are quite overpowering on this part, but this is an amazing bass line. Actually, all of it is amazing. Seriously, holy crap. Especially 5:34.
So many sections of this song are so excellently composed. People have already mentioned several sections that stand out (1:43, 4:40, 5:43, and of course the solo at 7:40) but as a drummer I noticed no one has mentioned the genius thumb slap to match the tom hits at 8:03 & 8:17. Creative!
I am listening to it across the globe from Poland, this is one of the best bass section that I heard in my life. So sad Cygnys and NeO parted ways, but the masterpeace they created will forever be with us.
Any time I need a little confidence boost or reminder of how good bass can sound I come here. Thanks for being such an inspiration. You're the reason I keep practicing 🤘
I'm really glad you made this video, Cygnus. Thank you. Now I can delete my shitty cover and spend a year trying to play this as perfectly as you do XD.
hey John, despite not having a tab you still took on a massive task of learning all that stuff and i am very honored that you attempted it. we will release official tabs soon i promise! we have something in the works ;)
Man you are literally my current drive to be a better bassist. And Ne Obliviscaris is my one of my bands inspiration in terms of style. And I've noticed I have a very similar style of playing
Wow this playthrough is incredible. I had no idea these basslines were that intricate. I see your three finger technique and I want to learn to do it better because 2 fingers on fast licks just doesn't work for me. Any tips for improving?
wow, man, i have to admit, you are one of those guys that lead me into thinking of playing bass myself. One Question, i don't really get it completely at around 5:35 are you playing to different melodies? tapping on the highest string and Hammer Ons and Pull Offs around the 7th till 9th fret?
That's the only way I knew the song for a long time because they played on the radio and forgot to turn Benji on so you couldn't hear the lead guitar at all. Brendan was all over it.
Hey Cygnus, love your work I'm seeing you guys this weekend in Sydney, I was thinking of geting a Status bass so it'll be nice to hear one live. Do you find the Axe-FX good on bass?
Hey is there somewhere where i can find the bass tabs for this? I want to learn how to play this but it will take much longer from watching the video. Such an amazing album...
I feel horrible for not practicing enough. I want to play this so bad but I'm nowhere near skilled enough to play it. And I'm such a lazy bastard when it comes to practicing something I can't do, like difficult songs. Time to toughen up I guess. :P
Israel Escamilla You could play it in eadg and move the riffs on the b string up and octave or in bead and move some of the high parts down an octave but i think it probably be closer to the original with bead
This song is in my top 300 metal songs and part of that is the bassline. This album si a masterpiece, the second one is a good black album but so generic. The third is a mix of the 2.

this song never gets old. we miss you cygnus. NeO can never soud this "big" without you..

NeO will never find a bassist like you.
Marwen Juini NEVER NEVER!!!
..sad..
Marwen Juini true i find cygnus to be the most important band member. the dudes so good at what he does
So true :(
the world*

ysgar i forgot Thanks brother :) glad i can be an inspiration to any musician. It really means a lot.
cygnusbass Totally agree with this guy here ^^, NeO are a massive inspiration for my band as well, thanks for all the awesome music!!
+ysgar i forgot Same here. I heard them a few nights ago and heard him using an approach I find myself using.
@@cygnusbass same here greetings from brazil
i always like to come and see you playing neo songs, the bass has something really cool happening all the time in these songs, so epic!
I want this song at my funeral!!!
How ever to make that breathtaking tone, those infectious riffs and the blistering, virtuoso fingerwork better? ... Left-handed!
very well done sir, you impressed me! nice smooth play-along, interesting bass lines and features!
Dude, this bassline is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing it!
This is so freaking awesome. Super clean. Must've been tough to do this whole song in one take! Much props!
This as beautiful as panic attack's bass line!
I like be this bass line more every time I hear it. Thanks for sharing
Great tune and bass playing cygnus! Going to add your album to my to-buy list
good vibes from Panama!
Sebastian Chïca ya somos dos men
Kicking back in your swivel chair, just strumming away... You make it seem so very easy. See you guys in Melbourne, Nov 21.
great! see you then Brian it will be an amazing night
cygnusbass What time are you guys due on stage.
How can a guy with no head think of such good bass sections ¬.¬
just like a Jellyfish :D
Build different
Built**
Christ, this is beautiful.
Damn, just today I saw this... Still in shock. Thanks mate!
1:44-2:02 makes me fucking E R E C T.
You're going to become a legend mate.
Wow I'm so happy you did this! I can't wait for the new album ^^
Damn awesome bass omg hes really good
Sounds awesome. I can't wait for the new album.
Geddy Lee-inspired? The way you progress from earlier measures to later measures in the same section moves the way a Rush song might.
What bassist isn't inspired by Geddy? You're right about that progression though.
Wizardry right there sir
I absolutely cannot wait for Citadel to drop!
Absolutely brilliant!
That was awesome! Please do "Of petrichor weaves black noise" as well!
YESSSS i WILL see them on saterday...BRUTAL ASSAULT!!
Wow this playthrough is incredible. I had no idea these basslines were that intricate.
I see your three finger technique and I want to learn to do it better because 2 fingers on fast licks just doesn't work for me. Any tips for improving?
At least 100 of the views on this must be from me. This bass line so good.
Wanna cry, just beautiful!
I'm not a bassist but a drummer but I do love your playing.Say hi to Dan. You both are great musicians!
I really dig this bass line ! great job !
Christine Lanusse Ahhh Christine! i only just saw this now. so kind of you to comment. thank you my bass sister!
cygnusbass you're welcome !
Where on earth can I find a bass like that, its simply beautiful
My jaw literally touched the desk at 7:40 . Orgasmic playing.
6:11 Is my man SWIRLING his finger on the strings? How did I not know about this band?
Love from India brother ❤🤘 great playing
Man he makes it look so easy.
Flawless
wow, man, i have to admit, you are one of those guys that lead me into thinking of playing bass myself.
One Question, i don't really get it completely at around 5:35 are you playing to different melodies? tapping on the highest string and Hammer Ons and Pull Offs around the 7th till 9th fret?
Creating a melody using the violin chords on the background.... Tastefully done....
That was fucking beautiful!
Do you use your pinky at all at 4:58?
he aways use 3 fingers
Nice work bro!
4:40 -- I had no idea the bass sounded like that in this part. Haha, this is very nice.
That's the only way I knew the song for a long time because they played on the radio and forgot to turn Benji on so you couldn't hear the lead guitar at all. Brendan was all over it.
As Icicles fall please!!!
Freaky good.
Is it possible to play this on a 4-string bass? I'd like to cover it.
qgloafhun I'm trying right now, as I don't have a 5 string yet, it's not really. At least not the solo parts.
there is no need for 5th string in solo but it's needed for riffing especially in the first riff
If you have to ask, you probably can't cover it..
Hey Cygnus, love your work I'm seeing you guys this weekend in Sydney, I was thinking of geting a Status bass so it'll be nice to hear one live.
Do you find the Axe-FX good on bass?
Awesome video, thank you for sharing with us ;) Please Cygnus, can you tell me if Ne Obliviscaris is going to sell bass tabs one day?
absolutely 100%. all of our songs are tabbed out perfectly and we will definitely be releasing them within the year.
cygnusbass This is a really good news!! Thanks Cygnus ;)
cygnusbass Will we also get guitar tabs by any chance ?
Hey, how do you EQ your bass? I love your tone
Fucking perfect man!!!
I love it!
I might pick the bass back up now
can we pleeeeeease get a tab for this!
4:58 I love knowing there are bass players that play sixteenths notes the same way I do.
What type of bass is that? Beautiful song
Brother i would love to know what pattern your using to do the 16th notes ?? is it 321321 or 3212 3212 \m/
321321321
Does anyone have a tab for this?
Hey is there somewhere where i can find the bass tabs for this? I want to learn how to play this but it will take much longer from watching the video. Such an amazing album...
I believe they have a tab book for sale on their patreon page
Apart from that it's pretty rare to find!
Will check it out haha
I wish I could find a backing track off this song without bass :/
What bass is that? please
can I play it on 4 string bass?
awesome!
what are your settings on the bass itself?
Crank the bass next time! I wanna hear it nice and loud! Easily my favourite song of yours, the whole thing is phenomenal!
do you have sheet music/chords for this?
The triplet at 2:10 was magic, wasn't it? I can't see you play it.
i use my third finger to do a quick gallop to do triplets works so well!
+Jim Bob no i deliberately started using it after listening to and watching Gary Willis! the king of bass! most efficient technique ever
I feel horrible for not practicing enough. I want to play this so bad but I'm nowhere near skilled enough to play it. And I'm such a lazy bastard when it comes to practicing something I can't do, like difficult songs. Time to toughen up I guess. :P
+cygnusbass was the bass recorded directly into the camera or separate? My dad's trying to find out how he can record himself playing but direct.
Ollie Midson The description says something about how he recorded it
🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶♥🎶🎶🎶🤘🤘🤘
goddamn, i cant see you play it. Amazing. Tab please tab :(
Songsterr.com
Great job! Is this a fretless? Those slides sound suuper clean.
hey Matt! its a fretted status S2 bass. tone is all the fingers! i do play fretless also in another project. so much harder! :)
***** I've used fretless basses with lines that go where they would be, without any metal there. :)
cygnusbass Thank you!
What tuning would I have to play in on a 4-string?
Israel Escamilla You could play it in eadg and move the riffs on the b string up and octave or in bead and move some of the high parts down an octave but i think it probably be closer to the original with bead
Which bass are you playing ?
hey cygnus, how thin is the neck on that thing? it looks sick
pretty fat actually. But its extremely comfortable as it is made out of woven carbon graphite. Easiest bass i have played.
Thanks a lot! trying to decide between this or an ibby. appreciate the reply!
is this the standard tuning? or is lower?
Standard tuning on a 5 string. :)
Dam son
FUCKNNN WOWWW
still 0 disslike..
