Awesome. Most people under-appreciate the bass in this song.. the bass is what gives this song its groove! Sure the guitar riff is catchy, but that bass line is what keeps you coming back... Whether you realize it or not!
Alpha Clown Wow, you're dumb. I was being sarcastic. I was making a joke about how funny it is that people argue over whether bassists should or shouldn't use a pick. I do play bass and I use different techniques depending on how I want the bass to sound... So no, I will not f*ck my popcorn.
Mr. OL' Skool6191 Parts Unknown. It is a Jazz bass special, with Precision pickups, designed by Duff himself. Nowadays, you can find another similar bass, the Fender Aerodyne, which is pretty much the same than the duff’s one but with refreshed.
One of the best bass lines I've heard is a version of the bass line on Free Bird done by some artist for Guitar Hero or one of those other type deals. Unfortunately I only heard it once on RUclips and could never find it again. Unbelievable bass line. Should have downloaded it when I had the chance.
This is amazing man, great job. The tone and style are so good, close to duff's but with your spin on things, which is always more refreshing than hearing a carbon copy of a song. Once again, well done!
the cat is having sweet dreams and memories of his childhood sorry i'm not english speaker, so i don't know if you are gonna get my message D: like me bitches =3
First bass cover I've ever watched on youtube. Damn good job bro. The bassist in my band plays it without all the fills when we do this song and it's nice to hear it played correctly haha!
@Goonie You're right, it's the original japanese 80's jazz special, not the mexican made signature which I also had but doesn't play and sound as well as the original.
i've tried to play this many times but i still couldn't get it. It was so fast till i couldn't catch up , very difficult, wish i could have those hands of yours. Really love it
Absolutely flawless!! True inspiration man I watch all your videos and manage to figure out how you play them Duff would be proud and your cat must be too ahah!! :P Love from Scotland :)
OK. Literally a bad ass bassist. You are working your ass off and pimping the downstrokes. Alternate picking does have its moments on bass but rarely. Nicely done.
Realmente debo felicitarte, interpretas el instrumento de forma muy prolija y lo haces sonar de manera excelente. Admiro la exactitud con lo que interpretas de oído todos tus videos, me parece muy admirable. Espero muchos más videos de vos, no me canso de mirarlos. Te mando un saludo muy grande desde Argentina!
nice cover. this takes me back. your doing the same thing i did 25 years ago, playing cool bass grooves to some of the best rock EVER. only, i didn't have a vid camera, there was not youtube, shit, no INTERNET! keep up the good work.
that bass is Fender Jazz bass special (out of production I think) nowadays fender makes those named Duff Mckagan signature bass If you google "Fender Duff McKagan Signature bass" U cant miss it :)
Great cover man. keep on playing.!!!! you rock.. this is probably one of the best bass lines in recorded history, and by one of my favorite rock bands of all times... keep it up man
I'm a lead guitarist naturally but I'd like to point out that this here perfectly demonstrates how important a bass player is to a band, some of the key parts in this song (which I originally thought where all rhythm guitar) are played on bass, a lot of people shit on bass but I've played on bass in few small gigs and it is important, don't shit on bass
@bassmatt8602 And the amplifier itself, Duff's sounds is coming from the PJ-setup with Gallien Krueger amplifiers. Low action and fresh stainless steel strings work as well. And you have to pluck hard (not like Jason Newsted)
He is using a fender duff signature homenage bass. Go to fender site and search for it, you gonna find. I will not answer the second question, i'll let it for @bassmatt8602, but I would tell you to follow your heart about it!
love it!! just wish the treble was turned down a bit,so we could hear that rhythm section better. great job on playing,and showing how the bass and drums lock together to form a bands foundation.
ya for some reason its a 1/2 step higher in this one (use normal tuning, but play the normal frets) all the others you use Eb tuning (all strings half step down)
Great job. I have been playing at playing for years now on various instruments and traded my Yamaha SA 500SB electric for a MIM P-bass and like it a lot, running it through a Roland 30w amp. Keep playing and forget the naysayers, it is what makes you keep practicing.
Man you're sick the fucking sound of your bass is so fckng great really so fucking great im doing my homework and sometimes i listen covers just for listen music but your performance and ur bass make me feel so fckng alive, congrats bro!
Awesome. Most people under-appreciate the bass in this song.. the bass is what gives this song its groove!
Sure the guitar riff is catchy, but that bass line is what keeps you coming back... Whether you realize it or not!
That's the thing with GnR songs!
The Bass is that what every Song gives ist groove!!
All Gnr songs sound really Groovy, cause of Duff 🤘🏻🔥
You are right
100% agree. You may not realized that the song has ended but the bass groove is still playing in your head.
How to start an argument:
Step 1: Go onto a Bass cover
Step 2: Claim that bassists should never use a pick
Step 3: Grab popcorn and enjoy the ride
I can tell you don't play the bass, krist novoselic from nirvana uses a pick and jeremy davis from paramore also uses a pick so....f*ck your popcorn
Alpha Clown Wow, you're dumb. I was being sarcastic. I was making a joke about how funny it is that people argue over whether bassists should or shouldn't use a pick. I do play bass and I use different techniques depending on how I want the bass to sound... So no, I will not f*ck my popcorn.
Alpha Clown don't forget Paul McCartney oh and he was being sarcastic
Johnny Wilkins you really should try it, I hear it's a butt'ry delight
metallica megadeth slaye the beatles use pick
You got the tone, the skill, even the same bass as Duff McKagan... nice job.
moshspeggeti I love your profile picture

@@evalios8137 I'm pretty sure duff even uses one occasionally
You got the Duff tone and feel 💯💯

i think this is one of the greatest bass lines

and suddenly I wanted to learn to play bass
***** me too :D
get the hang of bass and your gonna have a good chance of getting a bit of a living from it. guitar players are pretty plentiful
This is amazing man, great job. The tone and style are so good, close to duff's but with your spin on things, which is always more refreshing than hearing a carbon copy of a song. Once again, well done!
A very authentic cover! Love it 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is by far the best cover of this song ever
I don't know if I'm a bigger fan of the awesome cover, or the cat, simply not giving a fuck to the fact next to him awesomness is being made.
great job and thanks for sharing. very tight and great sound!!

@@bassmatt8602 :O i play guitar too i can play Bass and slash
Best baseline in the whole entire world!!! Well done you nailed it. I can play half of it.
duff world be proud
No
@@CaptainOffensive yes that's a great song by alice in chains
it's not because you see someone playing better that you have to stop practicing. keep it up dude !
I don't know how to play guitar, but I can feel the energy and the vibe this bass is sending out. You're dope. One of the best I have seen.
Good job but got interested in figuring out what was in the background midway thru
David Brazel cat tail !
+Bassmatt8602 hello can you join our band we need a bass guitarest before we can make our song if intrested please get back to me on here thanks
I'm glad someone else realized he used a chorus pedal on this song, no one else seems to use it.
such a nice bass !
FANTASTIC job on one of the greatest rock songs ever written.
Duff Mckagan will be proud
cat loves the vibes of your awesome bass playing
That black headstock tho..
Carlos Aponte mackagan signature👌🏼
@@Msn27 Actually it's the original 80's japanese Fender, not the signature :)
Awesome man great job 👍😎 and by the way nice Duff Mckagan Signature fender Jazz Bass Special👍
Damn a bass cover with over a million views!
Love the track and certainly for me the best GAR song, this bass offering sounds superb, thanks for sharing.
the cat is having sweet dreams and memories of his childhood
sorry i'm not english speaker, so i don't know if you are gonna get my message D:

Not until you see a bass line played like this you realise how integral to a song the bass is.
Love the cats tail! Hahahahahahahahahaha..... Awesome.
your tone is simply amazing !! great playing nate
This song is good cause the bass can be heard.
You can hear the bass on the entire album. Mckagan's basslines drive the whole album.
First bass cover I've ever watched on youtube. Damn good job bro. The bassist in my band plays it without all the fills when we do this song and it's nice to hear it played correctly haha!
It's a Duff McKegan's signature? Nice :D

Nicely done.
Ha, my cat keeps showing up in my bass cover videos too.
wonderful bass
AND I CAN SING HIGHIIIIIGHIGHIGHHH
Duff is plying Fender Jazz Bass Special... made in Japan, those signatures are made in Mexico. I had one from 1986 in silver colour :o)
3:45 kkkkkkkk
The sound is up, the tone i think..great cover!
Alex Pantar Yeah, I used to change the pitch to fit standard tuning on bass.
hay una cosa que se mueve en tu cama ¿es tu gato ? xD
what a beautiful bass. top notch cover dude!
good, BUT thumbs over the E and A strings = BAD, need to get out of that habit.
Bullshit
***** My guitar teacher never cared how i hold or play my guitar. What matters is the sound. That's why i feel super comfortable on my guitar.
Worked pretty well for Jimi Hendrix but I'm sure you know better :p
He's muting those strings thats why he's fingers are covered tho them because thosebig strings are prone to vibration
