- No one can make accurate covers or tabs for Cliff Burton’s bass solos, partially the live ones. Here’s why.
Background song • Andriy Vasylenko: Gone...
My attempt to tab Cliff Burton’s best bass solos • Craziest Cliff Burton'...

The background tune is called Gone Too Far, check it out here ruclips.net/video/yZjN-5DYDaQ/видео.html And we’re remaking it now for Bulavira. Long live Cliff’s legacy 👊🤘
Happy Cliff Burton Day to you, Andriy! \m/
And now they have a song called Too Far Gone?. Holy shit
Heyyy can you please share the tab in 0:15? I know its for whom the bell tolls but i want to play that solo he does before it in that exact video.
The problem with his solos was that he didn't play enough solos
and that you couldn't hear him play his solos
😆 absolutely frrreind
@@pwincessirisyou could here him play the solos except for the call of cthulu one
@@benferrisinverts4198 Under the RTL solo is an incredible solo-like bassline, which you cannot hear, per example
@@pwincessiris yeah the bass is quite low on rtl in genral unfortunately
The problem with Cliffs style is that there was no problem with Cliffs style.
RIP Cliff
cliff is master of bass
The sky is blue
I think Lars said it best in the SKOM documentary when he said: "If Cliff showed up today, he might not be the guy either." That's because Cliff was so good at the time and so one-off, you can't replicate it, and after becoming so popular, you might not want to either. Cliff, as tragic as his young passing was, went out on a high note before those criticisms from fans could take place in later years. It was never about "is Cliff a master of his instrument?", it was always about how original he was, which unfortunately in the life of Metallica only lasted 3 1/2 years... luckily, way before keyboard warriors ever had their say.
Funny thing is I’m pretty sure Cliff would’ve loved the direction he f Black Album and it probably would’ve been that much more mainstream sounding. With all the influences he had Metallica would end up even more experimental in their sound
@@romulocasas4906 He would have loved the direction the band was taking with Load and Reload also because he loved blues music and was heavily influenced by it.
Cliff was one of those musicians who knew the most important rule and he never deviated from it; serve the song before yourself. His licks were perfect in their placement every single time.
At one point I had the stamina of cliff but no knowledge. Now I have knowledge and no stamina
😂
Cliff was just on another level 🤘
That was pretty inspirational and thought-provoking, Andriy. Thank you very much for this video and Happy birthday Mr. Cliff Burton - one of my biggest inspirations ever.
you inspired me to pick up bass man and to never give up and i've come a long way since then. Cliff is a giant influence too. I couldn't agree more with what you are saying here
So what you're saying, is that they're so damn perfect and mindblowingly awesome, that it's simply impossible for us mere mortals to replicate them?
Yes, because it's cliff burton
I’ve been playing for 22 years. I’m sure I can play all of his stuff just fine
@@user-hk7hz9cn7v well Metallica can't. When they played Orion live it was clearly a deviation not a replication.
@@user-hk7hz9cn7v Tocar as mesmas músicas é uma coisa; criar algo igualmente bem feito é outra.
I know things are still f'd up, but it's been good seeing you do Metallica stuff again
good point, but i really dont think cliff wouldve laughed at your tabs for trying, he wouldve laughed because you knew what it was playing probably more than him.
Cliff’s style is a perfect balance between great technique and awesome improvisation with something else that I can’t explain but which made him unique not only among all the bass players but among all the musicians. What a terrible loss but what a great musical inheritance for all those who love him. He’s still alive in my heart. Thanks a lot for this video
It’s amazing that what poped up in his head was played by him instantly on bass without even thinking about it. It’s so insane!!! Now I’m amazed by his skills even more
This was an unexpectedly beautiful and motivational video haha!
Cliff is a improvisation king
Happy birthday, Cliff
happy birthday legend!♥️
Pioneering innovative bassist.
Happy Birthday Cliff Burton!
i have no idea how i haven't seen this video until now. all of this is so true, i cant even describe it with words (even though i just did lmao). remember guys... drink some beer, head bang, and let the flow of your fingers let you go through the madness that is cliffs live soloes lol
Muy buen video explicando como hacia su solos en vivo
The last 30 seconds or so of Anesthesia is still very much a mountain to me that I always stumble when trying to climb.
I totally agree with this vid! Idk why people kinda hate it
Cliff was for sure sloppy, not the most tight and I get a lot of crap for saying that. But I still admire his ability to be confident as well as create very diverse melody. Many of his elements are actually quite simple though. Learn your triads, and the pentatonic scale. Play that shit high up with wah and distortion and it'll immediately sound cool. It's the whole lack of any rehearsal before doing it that make Cliff special.
Cliff's greatest strengths always lay in supporting the song. His solos just sounded like haphazard bluesy guitar licks, from an objective POV
I disagree. Your point of view is no longer objective B)
they don't sound that bluesy
The answer is weed
the best way to sound like your favorite player is to be your favorite player - if you can't do that, learn their influences
As far as I can tell, Lemmy Kilmister and Peter Steele are the only other bassists that could play like Cliff did. Big RIP to all three of them, man. 🤘
Robert is extremely good and has that same energy for me. I think Cliff would be happy he's the one filling those Orion-sized shoes now.
The way you explain the way that he didn't want to play the same thing the same way twice and how he "wanted to bring life" to his music reminds me of how I have a tendency to not play the same thing twice
Thank you cliff for opening my mind up to other music and not being another narrow minded metal head who thinks that’s the only good music out there
Jimi Hendrix of bass
Be careful trying to headbang like Cliff, that also is an art form he perfected and you will get whiplash from it. I found out the hard way.
So when I'm playing something he wrote, I can say fuck it and play a variation of that?
Cliff Burton Never play the same thing twice that's why it so hard be like him
Not to mention the dude played for hours at a time everyday. He wanted to be the best and he was the best iMO*
why did you change the channel name to mgk
yet Kirk gets hate for doing the same thing.
Jim Root from Slipknot is similar when it comes to his solos. Never plays them exactly the same.
He also plagiarised so much from classical pieces. I know it hurts fans to hear this but it wasn’t obvious back then because no internet and Metal heads weren’t necessarily in to classical music. It’s almost shameless, which is ironic coming from a guy who wanted to be original he basically copied and pasted a hell of a lot classical compositions and added distortion.
"How to play like Cliff"
You can't.
Cliff hardly ever played rythm, licks or solos. He played music.
what did you say? 🧐🤨
I mean this video is just cringy brown-nosing. It's perfectly possible to tab out all of Cliff's stuff accurately. There are far more complex musicians who have been tabbed out accurately.
Seems the point has completely eluded you...
can you write a tab for the sound a brick makes when i throw it through your windshield
