You’re the freaking man mark! Thank you for teaching bass lines from my personal favorite! You’ve done so much for the bass community already but you just keep it coming! In case your considering more Claypool: Filipino ray, one better, or lust strings. Or anything from his whales and woe album. Thanks again!!!
keep the primus content coming! though i'd love to see some more obscure tracks :P I do however understand that they wouldn't do as well with the almighty algorhythm. cheers! love the vid
Someday, I hope youll do, or talk about STUMP (Kev Hopper on Bass) Songs like Chaos or Living It Down. Such a criminally overlooked Bassist. ( Not unlike Jon Poole, whom you did stellar with btw )
Can't believe no-one s done the S T E A M Y comment! Great lesson by the way. I'm fairly new to the bass guitar and this is definitely something to aim for.
Hi. I just want to say thank you so much. You're lessons are by far the best I've found. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on joint barring on a fretless? It seams impossible to do and stay in tune.
right, so both of my Fenders (precision and jazz) have 21 frets. wouldn’t i just tune up the D and G strings to match those notes for the 22nd and 24th fret to match a 21st and 19th?
hey man, i know this is big ask but...could you do Havona? nobodys REALLY done it justice so far. and it would be nice to have a step by step breakdown of it on the internet (nobodys really done it like that yet, and you should be the first)
Obviously your videos are incredible so this isn't criticism just two alternative tips that people might want to try For the low fill that requires the B string, not playing it at all sounds more wrong than playing the wrong notes. Like you said playing it up an octave sounds weird so i just play it up a 4th so the G and Aflat on the E string. For people that know the song they're definitely expecting that part so playing the right rhythm and a vaguely close interval helps keep it together For the very end high tapping part i think it sounds better to just mute all the strings and tap it rhythmically with muted notes. This is also how Les plays it live. You can see his right hand go all up and down the neck because it's just about the rhythm.

58 years old, the "heavy" sections of Jerry still makes me want to jump off the couch into a mosh pit.
... From off the stage
15 years younger, but same 😂
I just got to see Primus perform a Mud/Jerry combo in Baltimore. 🤘🏻 Les is a machine
me too brotha, that concert was so dope
man i woulda killed to be there
I think Les says this and Tommy the cat are the hardest songs he has to do live. Probably why he plays them with variations here and there
And I say unto thee... haha my favorite. Along with Harold of the Rocks
I love the rolling bass line on American life. Check out 2011 bonnaroo version.
Les has said that DMV is the hardest to play, which is why he seldom performs it live.
For those who dont know you should check out elephant talk by king crimson this song is heavily inspired by it!
This! The similarities are really obvious when he's hitting the chords repeatedly.

I'm practicing it right now and man... Les is the King of wierd. I have no idea how a human can invent a riff like this and manage to sing on it.
I picked up Tommy the cat and lacquer head thanks to you.Great content and teacher.I will be joining talking bass.
Can't get enough Claypool bass lines,thanks again!
Wow that's a great lesson. Stepping out of the comfort zone into Les' crazy universe. Thank you Mark. Your bass sounds great distorted btw.
Excellent bass playing from mark!
I fuckin love this song.
After developing _Hammer-On / Pull-Off
Try this exercise... After this exercise:
Try _Double-Thumb on the Victor Wooten exercise
Best tutorial I've seen for this song. Awesome job! Thank you for the post!

Frizzle Fry!
Nachos!
steamy
Amazing, thank you so much!
Frog will bunt!!!

I've been meaning to try some primus, this helps a lot, thanks
Someday, I hope youll do, or talk about STUMP (Kev Hopper on Bass)
Songs like Chaos or Living It Down.
Such a criminally overlooked Bassist. ( Not unlike Jon Poole, whom you did stellar with btw )
Thank you, this was great!
That Enfields lovely and it seems really versatile, you’ve probably sold a few of them for them with your videos, I’m dammed tempted!
the voices are winning
Great as always, thanks brother
Very cool, as always. Greetings from Moscow.
Man, I love you!

N A C H O S ?
Please do my name is mud
Les said he wrote this because he got elephant talk by king crimson wrong
I was just listening to this song then see this in my recommended
👍👍
my bass only has 22 frets :(
Same, can't find a tab for that, but I see Davie 504 playing in 16 17 frets (the taping with the second hand)
Damn!❤

i only have 21 frets
In that case you’ll need a 6 string.
@@talkingbasslessons After 30 years of playing bass I suppose I should try it.
May I just say that this video was absolutely sick by the way.
right, so both of my Fenders (precision and jazz) have 21 frets. wouldn’t i just tune up the D and G strings to match those notes for the 22nd and 24th fret to match a 21st and 19th?

@4:50 does my 6 string have to be a 24 fret?

Can we get a Martinie bass line please?
I only have 21 frets on my bass. So does that mean I have to tune up 1.5 steps to be able to play this?
It means you can't play it
Get creative brother u will figure it out
Why he can't just turn it 1.5 steps up and play it? @@talkingbasslessons
I like the 100 BPM version. Kinda groovy. 😂
Do you have the 5 string version?
dog will hunt!
I was so excited to learn this until i realized my bass only has 20 frets 😭
This video is so bad it's actively fighting me on learning this riff
oh boy more primus :\
Your user name is literally "slap a da bass" and you're complaining about Primus??
