Dude, there is not a single thing I could say/type that is not good about this video! I love your sound, technique, song choice and even your bass itself!
99.9% of dream theater songs are do-able on a 5 string though, the only reason to need a 6 string is in the top frets of the C string which are rarely used, everything else can be written around on the G string
@@joaomatheus6222 no he doesnt, i thought he did too but no, actually he only plays triplets and really fast lines with 3 fingers, if u look closely dt live shows u can see he is playing with two fingers most of the time.
That might be the best bass cover in the history of bass covers. Absolutely crushing. You leave jaws on the floor. Your right hand should be in the Smithsonian. That was truly beautiful to watch and listen to.
You're gonna need thicker guage strings first. Stock strings won't do it, guessing this is drop A So the tuning would be AEAD but that way you won't have the top G, my sugestion would be to play anything lower than a low E an octave up, or get a 5 string
tbh im more surprised of the left hand than the right one, that fretting is just sooooo good, i was 2 years old when this video came out and rn im learning this one and YYZ to improve more, this video help me to take notes from the fingering and fretting and to keep on going to be like u, thanks man!
Fucking excellent quality for 2012 holy crap. That was killer. I searched this up thinking this could be a fun challenge to learn, but after watching, I'd have to spend so much time perfecting it. Flawless.
Eu tenho dito já há um tempo, o Dream Teater tem medo de deixar o baixo aparecer no CD e ao vivo, é uma falha enorme. Todos vídeos que vejo de baixiatas tocando com qualidade como este, fica nitido que a música fica dez vezes mais legal com o baixo na cara, fantástico !!!!
Awesome cover! is it possible to play this song (and Dream Theater songs in general) on a 4 string or I need to get a 5 string? Also do i need to learn three finger plucking technique or its playable using two?
im probably late, it is playable on 4 string an octave higher, and also back then when i used to play it, i would alternate between two and three a lot.
@@TheSuperdude60 to 100% play it, it is impossible on a 4 string unless you use thicker gauges and weird tunings. I'd recommend getting a 5 or 6 string for Dream Theater songs. As for the playing itself, it is playable with 2 fingers if you practice your speed, but you can use 3 if it's more comfortable for the faster bits.
That low A string...its like i can feel the earth shaking
hahaha i know right!!
Low and deep, as a fat man's fart
tune it any lower and it'll open a black hole
No. Listen to SUNN O))). Moog subs REALLY shake the earth.
@@haxanlord definitely
I'm a bassist, and this video just takes away all my sef steem. Keep the good work.
I'm a Bassist in learning, Imagine how my self-esteem is handling this video.
Ryaffus same. I will play this one day
matheus gomes some great songs off their chaos cd that would point you to the direction of this.
I thought every bassist already had zero self esteem
matheus gomes stuff like this inspires me
Plot twist that actually is John Myung
Ryan Stevens Myung isn't Japanese.
Spencer Paul well, he isnt japanese but doesnt mean he cant speak japanese, right?
Can’t be, not asian enough
Can’t be. Guy in the video uses a 5 string...
I dunno who this is..but bet its Asian! Young Asian dude I say ..
Myung would be proud man, it's very impressive
+Quester91 is Lucifa a girl?
+Jeff Sánchez Andrade It's a figure of speech, man.
Very impressive, but can you... wait...wrong chanel
@@JeffSanchez19 look at his hand lucifa is not girl i think
It must be fucking exhausting to play a dream theater concert.
My friend went to a Dream Theater concert. He described that bassists fingers as frog fingers.
+Sean Lawrence I don't know why I laughed so hard at this
Ask this to portnoy. every time i try to pedal like him its like a river of sweat and i cant feel my legs
he actually once passed out after a concert and had to stay in hospital for several days
* portnoy not myung
Well for being almost seven years old, Quality is still amazing.
Dude, there is not a single thing I could say/type that is not good about this video!
I love your sound, technique, song choice and even your bass itself!
I know its a weird comment, but I like your hands.
+Gigatless Same
+Aldo Baker
Hey bot, you know this isn't a video on actual panic attacks, right? Oh, that's right, you don't, because you're just a bot.
Same
You remind me of particular killer who liked hands but thats another story
is that a gay thing?
My reason to invest in a 5 string.
but dream theater bassist uses a 6 string bass
yup XD
Solartic Didn't myung used to use t string ?
Thomas Dotson myung uses a six string
99.9% of dream theater songs are do-able on a 5 string though, the only reason to need a 6 string is in the top frets of the C string which are rarely used, everything else can be written around on the G string
That tone is sick.
I'll be slotting this right into my list for 'The top ten things I've seen on the internet'
You gotta have some strong fingers to play sixteenth notes pretty much the whole song. lol
Jacob Smith I know, I've been learning this song, but I learned that with Muse's Hysteria lol
That's why myung uses three fingers even for the slower stuff (at least for me, using three fingers gets me less tired)
What are 16th notes exactly
@@giygas9305 4 notes per bar
@@joaomatheus6222 no he doesnt, i thought he did too but no, actually he only plays triplets and really fast lines with 3 fingers, if u look closely dt live shows u can see he is playing with two fingers most of the time.

I love that growling tone, have returned many times over the years to watch this!🙂
i dont like dream theater much, but John is easily a top 5 metal bass player ever. unreal. GREAT cover!
Probably the best bass I've heard in my life
wwwww
J-John? Is that you?
That beginning is so crazy but u made it look so easy
U are truly dedicated to your bass playing
best bass cover of this song
Play bass like that and you can tell God to get off your cloud.
I still believe that's John Myung's Cloud.
haha nice one !
Robert Horsfield I agree.
If I use a 4 string bass I need to tune it to standard E 30 octaves below?
28 octaves
Ulaş Gürsoy hmmm i was close

You can use strings for 5 strings bass
@@Niewiem0 nah, I can play this song easily on a 4 string with standart stock string gauges, it's in D standart or Drop C
Why would anyone downvote? This guy has an amazing talent.
Man, that's a solid cover. I'm really impressed by your bass playing! Congrats!
That E-string at 0:56 is just mighty!
You were wrong at 2:11...I am just kidding I cannot belive what I've seen. Grat!
The cover makes this song sound like a whole ass boss battle, I love it. Such power.

I’m completely blown away by this video, can’t take my eyes off that right hand😮😮
best cover i ever heard upto now. your technique is amazing.
The first bass cover I've looked up
Fucking excellent quality for 2012 holy crap. That was killer. I searched this up thinking this could be a fun challenge to learn, but after watching, I'd have to spend so much time perfecting it. Flawless.
I remembered about my friend who learn this song every night.. but he was passed away 2019...
Raw hard work & pure talent!! Congrats!! Enormous and flawless cover!!!
the best cover i've seen on RUclips
Didn't know it was possible to play on a base like that. Beyond words how amazing that sound.
I strive to reach this level of badassery.
Glorious bass tone and playing
Dude you’ve got such a sick sound on those low hits. Badass cover
Love this! Great job! I can play couple of their songs, but this one I can't wait to attempt after watching this video. Great endurance sir.
I have a test tomorrow. Fuck that, I want to listen to Dream theater all night.
The bass in this song is killer. Great job.
Who the hell would give this a thumbs down? lolol

You're a very good bass player, you should keep uploading covers!
Probably the best cover
You never disappoint with your covers. Cudos to you sir \m/

Your tone and accents perfectly fit the song!
Watching your fretting hand on the neck is like watching a spider wrap its prey.
