The bass is the absolute core of this song in my opinion. Yes the riff is iconic! Yes the drums are explosive! But the bass holds the emotional core of the song, the feeling of giving up yet still continuing on anyway... the feeling of knowing how terrible everything is yet still pushing yourself to keep going, be it a break-up, a loss, or a financial disaster.
To me all of that is held in those few low notes looping throughout this song, and it would be completely different without it.
Exactly. To me the bassline during the chrorus, the 8 (F) - 6 (D#) - 9(C#) really hit home
Yes!!! You nailed it! 🙌🏽
Agree wholeheartedly
are you an English teacher by any chance?
OMG I THOUGHT IM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS THOUGHT. THANKS FOR SPEAKING UP
Great work and accurate tabs. Hard to find tabs like these. You earned my sub. Especially for such a small channel like this one.
Thank you Crazy Viper! :) That is the main reason why I started this channel. I wanted to play along to some tracks that had only rubbish tabs available. It's usually when a piano player makes them - notes are mostly correct but the fingering makes it impossible to play. Thanks for subscribing! :)
Love the layout of the chorus, it’s real fun having that slide from 4 to 9 :)
It's one of the best sensations of the world!

I knew this song was fast, but it just feels so much faster when you’re playing 😅
holy shit even leonardo da fucking vinci plays bass
it’s easier to down pick
That's interesting because I often find I play it too fast and can't keep that slower speed 😂
Great song for when you get started on bass🤘🏼
it's very easy to play in down picking
me at the beginning: oh okay seems easy enough
me, who proposed the song to the band at the pre chorus: *chuckles* im in danger
Ikr?
@Hehe Lolo I’d say easy if you finger pick the strings , my friend plays bass and finds this harder with a plec …. Trying to get him to change his style.
@@danielwilder7835 pick is harder sometimes, plus you can drop the *** thing and they rotate in your fingers :-(
@@NickHarman he's still using a plec when we play live but he's trying real hard to finger pick especially as we've started playing jazz numbers in our sets that requires some slapping
i’ve been playing bass for a year and i can’t believe i JUST found this, playing this made me shake, this song will always be part of my heartbeat
Same to me, 5 months of Bass and it is a real pleasure to play this line
U are doing an excellent job, keep going dude, I know someday your channel will have all the viewers and subscribers u deserve. Kisses from Spain ❤️.
Laura thank you so much!!!!!! :-) This is probably the nicest comment I've ever received! :-)
I feel like this really needs to be picked. I think the original was picked, as was popular for bass in this era in this alt rock pop songs. It doesn’t sound forceful enough. In the original he’s really pounding away at that bass, you can hear it.
yes it goes with picc
exactly
Well, I think he does a very good job, whether it is played with an Pic in the original recording or not, I think we should be glad and appreciate the work he has done with the tabs and playthrough. I sometimes think that people take it for granted that they get free stuff on the internet. There are always people who think that they have to critizise things when there is no reason to do so.
Pick sucks lol
There's no doubt pick adds attack but fingers, I find , make playing 8ths a bit easier.
Wow, thank you wow. Wonderful performance. Thank you for including notation, and not just tab. Very cool
Thank you Richard! :-) I based the form on my experiences from when I was a beginner. I hated when people included only tab without any note values. It is essential to be able to play the groove correctly. I am glad you like it! :)
great video, great mix to hear the bass and the context of the song. appreciate both tabs and notes as well. well done!
My girlfriend asked me to play this for her. I was more than happy to oblige, thinking it would be a piece of cake....
I was cocky...
This is now officially the first song I've learnt with chords (I always avoided them heh), and bends too!!!
String bending? More like mind bending..
Thank you for such a great tab! You've helped me overcome a fear, learn a new technique, and make her happy! Subbed!😁
Did you play it for her?
@@amberbannanamans9453 Hell yes I did, mega brownie points
@@Husm8 lmao well done mate
Hi buddy , thank you so much for these vids 43 yr old male played 6 string guitar all my life only been playing bass for 2 weeks and I love it should of started sooner. These vids are a god send. Any chance of you doing nobody does it better Carly Simon. Looking forward to more vids. All the best.
Thank you Gas Light!!! :-) I am glad you enjoy my content! I am also a guitarist. Very different instruments. I enjoy each for different reason. I don't know that song but I put it in my request list :-). I'll try to look into it.
love bass tab vids man MUCH LOVE BRO I LOVE THE KILLERS
This guys videos are top notch. Got me of my as and practicing again
Finally a good video for this song this really helped me out, keep up the good work.
Thank you Sybe! :) I'm glad it helped you!
Honestly this was never my preferred style but I appreciate the talent involved . Going to learn this song thanks to this channel. Well learn the bassline that is . Very well executed btw .
I don't know why many other tabs for this all tune the bass up, this is clearly the correct way
This video rocks! Clear visuals made it easy to follow along.
this is so helpful. other videos are so annoying as when a part ends it goes straight to the next note. this video moves regularly so i know which note is next. thx a lot
I'm a bass player and we used to cover this song. I haven't played in the band for a long time, but plan on getting up for one song at a party. This is going to be the song. I had forgotten how to play it.Thanks for a great lesson to remind me how this song goes.
Damn this is a fun song to play
These covers are awesome!!! Keep up the great work!
this song just brings me joy and to learn it fills me with joy. ps my music teacher loves your intro
great add to your music......i really enjoy the work you do and i am learning from you as well. thanks and great job. hope to get more stuff from you soon...
Thank you so much Gregory! :-) I hope my content will keep getting better and I'll have more time to make these videos. I am very happy you like it! :)
this was the first song i learned on the bass! thank you ♥
oh nicee... it's not the easiest one tbf
Your channel is amazing! First day playing bass and learn this song! 🤩 Thank you
Great work man! Thank you for this. Big help to learn. New sub
Very good for intermediate,, or early intermediate. And of course this is beast of a song!
Great job, got to learn this for a gig in a couple of weeks, this has been really useful, thanks for sharing
great cover. Love how simple and easy to navigate ur site is too.
Thank you Superman! :-) Yeah I did a simplest design that I could think of :-D. I don't enjoy coding webpages.
@@HarryMusicStuff youre welcome! Also, what bass do you play?
@@bravo915 It's a brand called "Vintage", model is VJ74. Very cool instrument for it's price - it's fairly cheap. Better alternative to a Squier I'd say :-).
Great tab, thank you!! Excellent 8th note practice song
Thankyou Thankyou from Australia 💕
Thanks for placing the tab at the top of the screen. Much easier to pause it.
Loved this band growing up. Prefer metal music mostly but this is just on of those bands you can't help but like
Thanks, nice and clean good work.
Thank you Garry! I am glad you like it! :)
This is amazing. Learning this one next!
Thanks for the great vid, helped me learn this super fast
I am so glad it helped you Katheryn! Thank you! :)
So fun to play! Thanks for the cover
I love the bamm-bam- ba- baaaaa part.
Thanks.. Save me a lot of time. Good positioning/transcription
You made me see that both of my favorite musics aren't that impossible to play.
So helpful, thanks
Great job, thanks!
Thanks. I'm working on a piano cover but this really helps.
Nice work! Thank you
Brilliant as usual
i love this tab thanks
I like how your videos have music and tab though cause im trying to get better at site reading so thank man
thanks a lot man, good stuff
Smooth playing nice one
Great collection of songs! Just subscribed... Will be requesting a song someday. Keep it up and Thank you.
Awesome video! It would be reallly helpful to newbs like me if the text of the numbers tabs were larger. Its quite hard to differentiate a 9 and an 8 and other similar looking numbers. Thanks again!
Thank you Harry.
Great cover/lesson as always Harry! Really appreciate these videos. BTW do you have any instructional videos on how you include the score and tabs. I would like to record what I learn and then be able to tab/score it out to see how it compares. But also for efficiency (replaying instead of relearning down the road) Thanks in advance!
Thank you!
great video and tabs ty
Parabéns pelo canal, mais um inscrito! Continue por favor! Obrigado aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷!
Awesome! Subscribed to you on patreon
How could bass to be able playing much emotional part of this song!
Please re do the chain, best version out there
nice job! when playing the 2nd fret on the E string, the tab shows a "1/4" in between some of the eight notes... what does that mean?
Great job
Dude i love your videos keep going non terrae plus ultra
Really great job. Thank you for sharing.
Thank u!
play it on at least 1.5x speed to assert dominance
i didnt know this band
i loved
This is standard tuning version?
Harry is the goat
Mr. Brightside bass: 😅
Mr. Brightside guitar: 👿
Is there a guitar and drum part that goes with this bass cover? Me and some buddies would like to use this bass cover for a talent show.
the best
Great
Bass really is the main dish 😌😌 imagine how boring the song would be without basses hahahahhah
Awesome cover dude
Side note: Anybody else confused as to why this is grade 5?
I’m not a pick player, but I had to grab one for this song.
3rd repeat of each chorus goes to the low F#.
This songs is so similar to me I get chills 😭
Im assuming youre playing in standard tuning?
Thanks for the video! Is your bass in standard tuning or tuned down a half-step?
This is gonna sound real snarky but; as soon as you start playing along you should know
If you frequently play with your "bass", do it the James Hetfield way and play the whole song in downpick XD
You'll be ripped in no time, trust me lmao
without fail i will fuck it up and the same place everytime
Is this in standard tuning?
half step down
I badly want to play this, but after only 7 weeks of playing bass, I can't chug those 8th notes at that tempo for 3 minutes. My fingers just wear out. Perhaps at 12 weeks...
Well, it's been twelve weeks, and I can almost chug this tempo for 3 minutes, however, those unisons near the end are a new challenge...
Is the tuning eadg?
yes
First part is wrong. You played it an octave lower tban you were supposed to.
2:31 tabs are different to what you're playing
Guitar players trying to play mr brightside vs bass players
pretty sure this song is in E flat.
1:38. Great tab!
oh my god i think my arm just died
bueno
Hey, what's the 1/4 arrow part on the pre chorus?
1/4 bend
@@johnmcguire6420 class mate cheers
Good job but this song is picked and played in E flat. So its completely different notesand easier than this
As a beginner consider my fingers tired af 😫
only problem is this song goes too hard to focus on playing
Nice job. But the bridge part ain’t correct though..
Needs a pick for the ⬆ ⬇
what the tuning
standert eadg
Imagine playing Killers with a pick lol
Imagine talking smack about picks because you don't know how to use them
Fuck I meant to say 'without'. Because Mark Stoermer always uses a pick
