  • Chris Wolstenholme is a great bass player. The bass riffs he creates for the band Muse are always inventive and interesting. Especially on the tone front.
    In this lesson we're looking at the classic Chris Wolstenholme bass riff from the song Hysteria by Muse. This bass line is notorious for the debates that rage on bass forums regarding the effects pedals in use.
    We're going to look at the bass line itself and I'll give you some tips on mastering the line as well as some extra advice on learning tricky lines by 'chunking'.

    Excellent tutorial! I've been playing muse songs for ages and I absolutely love Chris and his bass playing. There's a lot of interesting stuff whether you're looking at tone, rhythm (like in Citizen Erased), or note selection.
    Some muse basslines you could definitely enlighten other bassists with could be:
    Darkshines (Spanish sounding pseudo walking bass with an envelope filter)
    Citizen Erased (Metal-ish riff with a lot of fuzz)
    The Handler (Heavy dirty main riff with interesting melodic chorus part)
    Micro Cuts (Accents with an envelope pedal and great outro riff)
    I Belong To You (Originally an upright bass with wah?)
    New Born (Great dirty riff doubling the guitar and really exhausting arpeggios in the verse. Groovy chorus)
    Panic Station (Slap funk with double stops and strumming and an octave walkup chorus)
    Muscle Museum (Simple groove but great note selection, interesting walkup every 4 bars and some fun octaves in the chorus)
    And much much more. Hell, I probably forgot some of my favorites. There's a lot.
    Excellent work as always!

  • @PhoenixFlight94
    @PhoenixFlight94 4 года назад +42

    The 2 most common problems I've come across when teaching this riff
    1) People thinking it's faster than it really is
    2) Playing too hard with the plucking hand, tiring them out quickly. Playing lightly and letting the amp do the work is critical for this to be sustainable
    New Born is a fun bass part too. Way easier on a 5 than drop D on a 4 imo. Liquid State is a fun one too.

    • @PhoenixFlight94

      Forgot to mention that Falling Away With You's chorus is seriously tough. It might be why it's the only song off Absolution they've NEVER played live.

    • @ericjonsson
      @ericjonsson 4 года назад

      Currently I'm trying to work my way through the second bar, and specifically switching between the open E and the E on the 12th fret of the A string without it becoming a muddy mess. I sort of wish Mark had addressed string muting for this part, it seems to be the only section where I struggle with it (probably because it needs to be done with the left hand instead of "automatically" by the right as it is raking back to the open E instead of alternating.)

    • @PhoenixFlight94
      @PhoenixFlight94 4 года назад

      @@ericjonsson I tend to rake that part to make it sound clean with muting. This is an important technique as you'll need it if you want to play the chorus cleanly too. You left hand should be muting the D and G strings by having your fingers lay relatively flat across the strings. The opposite of super curved fingers classical guitarists go for.

    • @perryborn2777
      @perryborn2777 3 года назад

      I can see how playing New Born with a 5 string could make the chorus more comfortable to play, but I love the feel that playing it all on the D string gives to the song

    Hey Mark. Again thanks for the lessons, they're the best on youtube.
    I'm still a beginner, started less than 3 years ago, and was wondering about pedals and amps and all that stuff.
    I was using Guitar Rig 5 for amp and effects. Sometimes the video game Rocksmith. My setup was plugging my bass onto a laptop with the Rocksmith cable, the laptop audio output redirected to a stereo and plugging my headphones into that. Sadly my laptop died so I'm playing unplugged for the moment.
    Guitar Rig is great since it has all those presets and different pedals and amps simulated. It's kind of like Garage Band I think. It's more oriented towards guitars than basses though.
    With my previous setup, I had more volume and sound options that I needed. Now my parents want to buy me a combo amplifier as a birthday gift. But I played great with my full software setup. I was wondering what more do pedals and actual hardware offer compared to software that does the same thing. Why haven't we fully switched to software for our audio effects ? DJs and EDM producers seem to be doing fine with only their laptop, why do we have to use expensive pedals and amps ?

    I've watched plenty of tutorials on how to play this song. The problem is, because of the distortion and the fact, there are so many notes, whoever does the tutorial has to break it down into parts. However, breaking it down into parts actually makes it hard to remember the notes. Also, leave out telling us the notes, we can pick that up on our own. The best thing is to just listen to the track over and over until you can effectively vocalize it. It's not hard to play. It's hard to pick up each note.

  • @jeremyredd4232
    @jeremyredd4232 2 года назад

    Just came across this. I'm a guitarist learning bass, and slap actually isn't too bad surprisingly, but fingerstyle is killing me. I figured I'd learn a lot about playing fingerstyle from this tutorial (and this song), and I did. Should I rake in general going down a string with the first finger? Also it seems I shouldn't rake going down a string with the second finger. Is this correct?
    I also liked that you went over both fingerings. I think it's good for beginners to see that. It's also worth noting that on, a guitar at least, each fingering would sound slightly different because of the slides vs pull-offs. I can't really hear a difference with the bass when the slides are that fast, but maybe that's me. Thanks!

      Try the chromatic run in the second half of the third bar as a series of hammer-ons -> slide one half-note -> pull-offs. If there's anywhere in the riff where I'd use hammer-ons, that'd be the place.

    I want to be able to start practicing bass by learning Muse bass lines but I don't know what kind of strings I need for it to do so.
    I've borrowed my friends bass, but it's tuned in "Drop B" he said since he plays metal. (I guess it's a lower tuning, no idea)
    It's an old bass of his and the strings are in a rough shape and needs changing. Can I go in to any ol' music store and ask for a set of "standard strings" to get the right tuning for Muse?
    I'm a complete beginner at this, and I don't even know if what i'm writing makes any sense.

      I feel you mate! Two things I've tried to remedy this so far:

      2. Substitute with a decent metronome, the drum track is simple enough for it. For the gap between the full-speed track at half tempo to the 74bpm-track at full tempo (if that makes sense) I'm making do with a simple built-in metronome in my Boss looper pedal. :)
