Hysteria (Muse) - The Chris Wolstenholme Bass Classic (tabs & tutorial)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 авг 2024
- 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!
Excellent choice of songs!! I learnt some these songs which you've mentioned. They really helped in building ny technique and helped in influencing my own original sound.
Sunburn also is one of my fav bass lines
@@sheltonprabhakar9811 Sunburn is an excellent chorus line
The Groove is a really fun one to play
Well, this should keep me busy for the next 3-4 years or so.
Glen Hoddinott 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
R I P 🤣
Facts
How you getting on? 😂😂
Butterflies and Hurricanes! He does this incredible tapping thing in the intro and bridge that I've been trying to figure out for years. You're the guy for the job!
El mejor, mas completo y detallado tutorial que vi en mi vida. Y eso que no hablo inglés.
Thank you so much Mark. I know I was the one bugging you to play "Hysteria's riff" . You look so cool playing it. Thank you again. Respect.
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.
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.
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.)
@@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.
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
Any true muse fan knows that the real Chris Wolstenholme hidden gems are Darkshines, Hyper Music, Recess, and City Of Delusion
reapers as well
Easily
Just about to pick a bass up for the very 1st time, after seeing this I'm definitely subscribing, fantastic brake down aswel
Excellent instructional vid. Thanks very much for putting it together. Nice job!
Thank you. Appreciate all you do. Clear great instruction.
I’m so used to seeing him play it with his bass strung very low, it looks like cramp town having it up that high! Very well researched with his tone, got it right!
These song tutorials are great. Love the breakdown and the song choices. Keeps me coming back. Much obliged sir!
Futurism by Muse has a great bass riff too
Adam Iluzja baseline*
And mercy
@@sevenblizzards7077 *bassline
epin pelaja But why, I already said bass line
@@sevenblizzards7077 you said baseline lmao
this is crazy gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!
Great Job
Thank you for showing the picking part. Was having trouble playing the second part properly, but with using your picking technique it's a lot better.
I have used many of your videos to help me learn these difficult bass lines and I have seen so much improvement in my consistency so thank you
I almost cracked this riff a few months ago but always slip up at some point. This will help me big time. Cheers Mark 😁
12:04 tempo list
By the way, great lesson, and thanks for info on the distortion pedals at the start! helped my lots!
Awesome lesson!🤘
Please do Futurism or Stockholm Syndrome next, both epic tracks!
Great riff to warm up the fingers !
Nice one Mark, love your lessons.
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 ?
As always! Great lessons, Mark! Thanks you!
Great lesson man!!
Mark, has anyone else told you about your wobbly head lol
Keep up the great work
I would like "bliss" a lot to be made a video...
My favourite Song and Riff is and stays: New Born 🤘
Awesome! Nice lesson. Thanks
Great video, Mark. Any plans for a follow-up video about the chorus etc? :)
You are a great teacher! Mahalo!
Great video as always !!
Thx helped a lot, i learn english, the sheets and how to Break down Music. Great Video and now i can Play it. Worth it. edit: a Short add to the Music Theorie behind the Song Arrangement would be nice.
Muscle museum
Very nice. Thanks!!
very nice Mr. Mark
Would love to see a video on a trivium song!! Maybe the bass solo to becoming the dragon!!
Brilliant! Chorus and other bits though?
Thanks
So cool!
thankyou so much !
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.
beautiful bass guitar ,factory?
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!
I've got a pretty good approximation of the sound on my Zoom B1X Four, if anyone's interested. I'm just not going to post it all here if nobody cares lol
How about covering Justin and the polyrhythmic Invincible? I know you touched a bit with The Pot but maybe a little more in depth with polyrhythm feel in Invincible.
can you do metallica orion with the bridge and the bass solo. Lots of people know this but lots of people also dont know this but the solo after the solo after the bridge is on bass and theres some pretty cool harmonies in there. It would be pretty cool if you could cover it.
Hi. Can you tell me what your settings are on the Deluxe Big Muff please
13:36 for the hardest bass riff tutorial! I clicked it with no hesitation.
You should do the tapping solo for knights of cydonia next
magnificent seven- The Clash?
Great video! Aren't any of the notes played as hammer ons?
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.
👍🏻
Do a you can’t hold no groove tutorial!
I've been able to play this for a long time, but only with hammering and pulloffs at the d string part. Still can't do it otherway 😂
When it comes to my Hysteria bass tone, an EHX bass big muff run through my amp OD function switched on to give a more nasal sound gets me very far in getting the Hysteria sound.
Can u post the setting you used on the deluxe muff
I have a question in the third part(riff) where do you get the 7 freet because in the tab only get to the 8 freet at the progression?
Do Plug In Baby!
Are you in by Incubus!!
Wow
Futurism would be cool
Do you teach how to read sheet music?
I have a huge step by step course teaching reading over at Talkingbass. Takes you from absolute basics to professional standard.
@@talkingbasslessons I will check it out! Mahalo
bon na na na nana nena nena ne nane nade
Hyper Music please
I think I need a 54 bpm track. LOL
I feel you mate! Two things I've tried to remedy this so far:
1. Play at half tempo. So far I've made it through playing along to Marks' tracks at effectively 37, 42, and 47 bpm, currently working my way up to 74 (it's quite a leap, lol)
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. :)
if you think Hysteria is a test of endurance for your poor little fingers (it still is), play Stockholme Syndrome. That song is cramp city.
Supremacy
A great riff made by their guitarist.
PANIC STATION!
Now do the real Hysteria...From Def Leppard
Nice eyebrows
why am i here i don't even have a bass i'm an acoustic guitarist
I, for one, don't mind having six-stringed, short-scale, octave-up bassists around in these corners of YT.
haha gotta learn it now then
Lmao my amp makes distortion without pedals
To me sounds sounds like sounds like black Sabbath \sound garden
I don't rake, I SAP. I have a hunch Harris SAPs too
Can you give me a bass guitar for my dream😐
Who knew Shane mcmahon was such a good bassist. 🤔
666th like
....try it without the pedal and tell me....just clean
Oh not again 🤣🤣🤣
Not Muse. Yes...Roundabout.
wrong!
Bro we all learned this like 5 years ago
"the most requested bass song" - saying you learned it != everyone else learned it. You know there are people who...shock/gasp... are just picking up the bass THIS VERY MOMENT? lol Also the song is like 15 years old so saying you learned it 5 years is actually pretty late to the game yourself.
Muddy as hell.
Almost no seperation of notes.
Too much effect.
Played at the speed its played at it becomes a mud puddle in the score.
I cant stand it when poor examples of playing and writing are held up as art.
