@@yuuyjaaj6721 oh you better believe we do, the ladies are always payin special attention to how hard we pluck those bass strings on each fret my friend 😉
For a style like this, most bass players find it WAY easier than using a pick. Bassists should learn with their fingers, once you can use 3 fingers properly it's like having 3 picks at once
This proves how essential the bass is to Maiden's sound. I have always loved that about Maiden. Though they have 3 amazing guitars, the driving force of the music and what makes it memorable is the bass.
why I didn't explored more Iron Maiden before ???? this song thrills me to shivers & my head started to headbang by itself ... I feel I really gotta un-dust my bass & get a real mic. And I feel this about every instrument in this song.
God knows how many bass covers of "Trooper" I've watched or heard; including a fellow bassist friend of mine whose musical career started with Iron Maiden covers, this one deserves a Medal of Honour as it would really send those cavalry men into a frenzied charge through enemy barricades.
I love Warwick but just wonder how Spector euro, legend or rebop would sound on this set up, I'm playing Rebop dlx5 using darkglass microtubes x7 and sound is out of this world (in my humble opinion) this was solid cover man I love it
I have a 5 string Corvette std so I understand the awesomeness of that bass! With all the boomsticks at your disposal is your choice of that one for all your covers because it's your favorite or because of sponsorships?
Both, but mostly because it’s the newest addition and the current favorite. We’re not currently sponsored but hopefully that will change in the future. 😉
Nice detail on nailing the two finger gallop! If anything i'd nitpick that you're not muting the strings between gallops like Steve does, but all in all nice cover
If you listen to Steve Harris bass only track there is another 16th not gallop that almost hits like ghost note during the verses and open melody sections. It's almost impossible for me to conceive that he is pulling offset triplets with 2 fingers like that.....but that's why hes Steve Harris. . . Great job. AMAZING JOB!!!
I wish I could keep up with this song but.... I guess I have to keep trying for another couple of years. Steve is really the best but this guy is awesome too.
To play it right like steve techincally you should have a floating hand on only use two fingers. But the rest of us are human so. What ever you need to do to get that Gallop.
@@Roberto-nn6kb The guy in this video is using 3-finger technique. You can tell by just watching his index finger play 1/4 notes. But, Steve is insane, yes.
I swear every single time someone comments how impressed they are with someone’s playing, there’s always someone that replies with “akshuually, it’s not that difficult. I can play even faster than this.” For the love of god please don’t be that person

The ladies love him
😂
Bass players don’t have girlfriends
@@yuuyjaaj6721 sadly
*He's very good with his hands*
@@yuuyjaaj6721 oh you better believe we do, the ladies are always payin special attention to how hard we pluck those bass strings on each fret my friend 😉
Watching people play metal with their fingers is always so impressive to me.
Robert Toth I mean its not that difficult, I do it all the time and actually find it easier than using a pick
Doesn't Steve Harris use his fingers? Or just a pick, i seem to think he uses his fingers - cant remember.
You typically use your fingers when playing bass. Most of the time it's to slap the bass
@Indents Yes, and his strings are so low, that you can hear them clattering on the frets.

that gallop is beautiful, its like the thundering hooves of legions of horses.
do you know if Josh's gallops are three or two fingers? can't really tell
@@alahad three
@@ayyutha thanks, you're right
@@alahad it’s 2 he’s even said so himself. He also doesn’t gallop on the original recording if you listen to the isolated track.
@@ayyutha two
I love the synced up logos at the beginning
My arm is tired just by watching this, those triplets are insane
Im pretty sure the ”gallop” isnt triplets. Just 16th note feel.
1 + a 2 + a 3 + a 4. + a
Samus wants to know your location
Hertas, not triplets
Just imagine the Steve Harris' arms
This proves how essential the bass is to Maiden's sound. I have always loved that about Maiden. Though they have 3 amazing guitars, the driving force of the music and what makes it memorable is the bass.
cause the bassist wrote it!
Maiden on a warwick?
You've got the right idea.
From 2:10 you can see him headbanging 😆
What a wide swing!
The homie flexin HARD on this one, always sets the bar!
I came for the cover. Stayed for the galloping right hand. Great job!
why I didn't explored more Iron Maiden before ???? this song thrills me to shivers & my head started to headbang by itself ... I feel I really gotta un-dust my bass & get a real mic.
And I feel this about every instrument in this song.
If I ever have to ride my horse into battle, it'll be to this version of The Trooper. Good shit man!
I could see those horses gallop!!! ❤
What a master in bass...
Best Trooper cover I've seen so far.
I’ve seen better
@@yuuyjaaj6721 Please provide.

Been looking at covers as I learn this song and this is the BEST gallop I've heard!! Nice!!
WOW !! Superb. Awesome to watch. You have massive talent
What a beautiful “CLANK” that Warwick has. Sounds so good. AWESOME
Those basses are beautiful in every possible way
This bass cover and the original version helped me push 10 more minutes on the elliptical 165 bpm 🔥
You know what, I didn't even want to learn that song anyway. Thanks Josh for nailing that song so hard. I'm not even going to attempt it now.
This dude is such an AWESOME PLAYER
Incredible rhythm,excellent cover👍👍
Haha, i smiled while watching this - always great watching a great cover, well played! 🙂
Cool sound!!!Fantastic cover!
Wow, that was amazing
Love the tone
Killer cover! Thanks a lot!
Fantastic. You’re a BEAST!
This is the first song i ever learned on bass.
Guitarist, right ?
@@brianarnau6439 nope
jeez nice
Very good. I love the Corvette too.
I love this bass riff!!! That gallop is super fun to learn and play even if I'm not this good yet haha
wow so tight , well played!
Your tone is very Entwistle-esque. I love it!
sure, man, those hammer fingers!
Wait! What happened to your Steve Harris signature bass?
That moment when you realize it yourself,,, "I'm fu@kin KILLIN IT."
It is so much cool man! Bass with fingers awesome!
Great tone and playing!
I'm a guitarist but I appreciate great bass. Amazing job.
One of my favorite bass lines
This is no longer playing bass...more like martial arts.
Que buena tecnica... Buen trabajo... !!
Great cover dude
amazing
Sick!
Nice Warwick. I want one of those.
Warwick makes some gorgeous basses!
Great tone.
Very nice...
I love Warwick but just wonder how Spector euro, legend or rebop would sound on this set up, I'm playing Rebop dlx5 using darkglass microtubes x7 and sound is out of this world (in my humble opinion) this was solid cover man I love it
Headbanged even though I have a headache
well done, man !!!!
Well... what's not to like here? Sounds like you wrote that song. I like it!
frigin like a boss brother
I have that same bass!!
The best yeahhh 🤘
Gallop 4ever!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Really smart that you used more high tone, i can hear it much better and it also help a lot if you are trying to listen on a phone
Until today I don't know if the intro riff should play 7 to 6 or 7 - 5 on G strng. it seems like 7-6. Which is the correct way? Thank you!
God bless The Pick!

@@TheBassChannel can't beat that distinct growl!
nice bass
Bass is the driving force in the maiden sound.
I wonder if Harris got a lot of tail.
You need iron fingers to play Iron Maiden and this guy has em
Are there any videos where Josh talks about his right hand technique?
finger shredder alert
Niceeee
this is a classic, with the gallop
Cool👍
Wait, is the ring finger is in use in the main riff?
You may want to lower/slant your pups a bit for the A and G string. Will help balance/equal out strong output when comparing the other 2
Nice detail on nailing the two finger gallop! If anything i'd nitpick that you're not muting the strings between gallops like Steve does, but all in all nice cover
Its good music
Never heard a song in f minor with this sort of buildup especially the crescendo before the last riff into the finale at the start
If you listen to Steve Harris bass only track there is another 16th not gallop that almost hits like ghost note during the verses and open melody sections.
It's almost impossible for me to conceive that he is pulling offset triplets with 2 fingers like that.....but that's why hes Steve Harris.

Great job.
AMAZING JOB!!!
But, is the guy in this video playing with 3?
I wish I could keep up with this song but.... I guess I have to keep trying for another couple of years. Steve is really the best but this guy is awesome too.
🤙🏻💣
Its need a mass for that strong picking with fingers.I admit...its sound better than fender precision.Worvick ryles
Is the bass easy at notes ? I mean left fingers at (right-handed) normal guitar. When compared with electric
GOD
gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
more classic than classic
How have I jsut discovered this
Do you play that gallop with three fingers or two fingers? I can't keep that pace with two fingers, but then again I suck.
To play it right like steve techincally you should have a floating hand on only use two fingers. But the rest of us are human so. What ever you need to do to get that Gallop.
@@devinaschenbrenner2683 Thanks!
i usually use 3,, it takes a while to get used to but once you get it, it’s much easier than using 2.
@@zerotwo2916 I'll keep working on it with three fingers, but I can play it much easier and more accurately with a pick! Is that cheating?
Dave nope, if you can play it, you can play it. i just can’t play with a pick yet :((
did you give steve some lessons on the gallop?
Great cover! But why with a Warwick? Great bass for sure, but I thought you guys have Steve's signature p bass.
Because warwick trumps all?
when can we have a "Wasted years" Cover?? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase @The Bass Channel and @Joshdubois!!!
Mira ese potencial
Don't forget get that octave E on "too" and "through"
What tuning is that?
Smokin
Jesus man. Whew
wow, very impressive, to think steve does that with 2 fingers
For real? This HAS to be a 3-finger technique song.
@@BladeJones he does with 2, although much more sloppier than this
@@Roberto-nn6kb The guy in this video is using 3-finger technique. You can tell by just watching his index finger play 1/4 notes. But, Steve is insane, yes.
whats the setup?
gallop on. Pro!
Menino que velocidade é essa?
I swear every single time someone comments how impressed they are with someone’s playing, there’s always someone that replies with “akshuually, it’s not that difficult. I can play even faster than this.” For the love of god please don’t be that person
My friend do you play with three fingers?
✌️
My fingers are hurts by just listen to the bassline😅
Godly fingers
Wow, you did an excellent job, congratulations, I also have a cover video from IRON MAIDEN, I'd like you to give me your opinion.
Best regards.
Your wife surely loves you. 😁😁
