First half of the video, yeah I can play this. Then he starts adding 50 ghost notes in between each regular note and I’m just not gonna go grab my bass now lol
Every time I introduce my friends to Polyphia, the first thing they notice is the bass…Clay, you have come a long way since Inspire….What an evolution as a player!! ❤
Keep uploading. I absolutely love the hybrid picking on bass. I'm 34, I play bass, and am not ashamed to admit i have an inspiration that's younger than me. Ibanez has always been my go to, but they seem to get dumped on because they are affordable, I guess. I'd love an ernie ball bongo bass, or a dingwall, but the average person can't drop that kinda money.
Personally, as a drummer, Clay is my favorite part of Polyphia. The Clays are just always so locked in with the grooves to let the leads shine, but I always get stank face for what Mr. Gober here does.
Clay with a Skid Row shirt on ! I had one too ,once upon a time . I listened to Skid Row when I was 15 ! They had such a good singer ! I am 45 now, thirty years later... Now , I listen to Polyphia ! ! ! !
Video is going to stay on loop for awhile, it’s funny seeing ppl having mixed reactions to the song, I’ve always focused on the bass in this song which makes me keep coming back to it
I would really love to see you actually do full bass lessons on different techniques etc, as opposed to just playthroughs. I find the style that you've developed is so addicting, and I recently bought a 5 string so I'd be right here
Clay! Thanks for all your incredible contributions to music and bass! You're the good standard for modern bassists who want to both hold the song together and have a voice in the process.
Omg omg omg what technique…and what sweet note/phrasing choices too…omg again…one of the best alive…possibly the single best hybrid attack style guy alive actually…could go on…
Man always hits the 'brktlplsktbrk' so clean 👌
I swore i heard it with you typing it, but trying to pronounce it I buthcered it
Butchered*
They are the best.
I think you nailed it with the wording btw 😂
My exact thought too! Nice pronunciation by the way!
@@w0lfrunn you brktlplsktbrked it?
He finally remembered his youtube password!
😂😂
Eheheh and I can't be happier he did lmao his bass playing is so essential ahh
he found it 🥲
I hate you. 😂😂
classic
Almost looked playable at first
lmao this ^
"they had us in the first half, not even gonna lie."
it's still playable
if you're davie504 or smth
Clay, your bass parts are legendary. No one gives you enough credit for how great you and your playing is. Keep on shredding! ❤
Facts!
The fact that there's 2 members of this band named Clay is something that will continue to blow my mind.
@@MattsOutrageous The two Clays are like the right and left hemispheres of a single mind. I swear, these two are incredible together!
And here you are right meow giving him that credit. He deserves it for sure.
@@MattsOutrageous that’s texas baybee
The Scott face at the end! Bravo sir.
They need to get tim to do it one day haha
@@webaally2984 we almost did it have the whole band :o
Wouldn't it be called clay face?
I'd love to see tim do it one day, clays and scott done it but not tim
@@desert_sam9651 They've both been doing it for so long, I don't care who started it. Keep it coming.
It’s impressive how funky you sound using a pick, this guy must be the only bassist that changes his strings regularly
Pretty sure he changes everything regularly 😅
@@arch92 his frets and neck too?
@@zzzzzz1039 his outfit too
I would if I could afford it lollll
He's using both, his fingers and his pick. That's why.
all those ghost notes in the chorus 🤯🤯 both Clays make suuuuuch a good rhythm section, it's illegal
It’s actually silly just how well they work together 🤯
First half of the video, yeah I can play this. Then he starts adding 50 ghost notes in between each regular note and I’m just not gonna go grab my bass now lol
Are you calling dead notes ghost notes
god damn clay your tone is always so on point! super hyped for the new album in october🙏🙏
neural dsp parallax
Dark glass is sounds like
@@Xirrious it’s parallax
@@whatskraken3886 Oooh okay, makes sense
Every time I introduce my friends to Polyphia, the first thing they notice is the bass…Clay, you have come a long way since Inspire….What an evolution as a player!! ❤
So subtle in regards to the inclusion of instrument in the actual song, YET sooooo necessary and it adds SOO much rhythm to the song!!!
The amount of times I've replayed this short clip in the last few minutes due to how groovy Clay's playing is should be illegal.
How can every damn member of one band be so good. I love you guys!
The right hand technique is so cool! Clay is super underrated in the bass community
I will learn to play bass just because of you. No other bass player made me want to do that as much as you with your tone and unique playing.
after 20 years of playing bass, i can finally nail the 0:00 - 0:04
That part right after 00:29 is fucking 🤌
Love those subtle bass flexes
You inspired me to pick up the bass! Got a cheap 5-stringer to learn your parts cause they’re so badass. Keep it up!
Those ghost note triplet thingies are so satisfying.
Yay! Love that you’re back❤ can’t get enough of your playing. Keep it coming! More Please!
Thas a NASTY tone

The victory dance at the end is so fire.

We gotta hear a shredding bass forward song soon. Love you Gober.
god damn man that right hand is something else, slapping and hybrid picking at the same time jeeeez
Clay with a Skid Row shirt on !
I had one too ,once upon a time .
I listened to Skid Row when I was 15 ! They had such a good singer !
I am 45 now, thirty years later...
Now , I listen to Polyphia ! ! ! !

Fuck yeah dude. That aggressive mid range tone is fucking killer, like your playing
Perfectly chosen tone. 💯
And all the string tracks are isolated and all beautifully written
Your technique is on point. Which is mainly why you sound so good.
I was literally just wondering why you never posted. Thanks for blessing us and laying down the groove
So much groooove
Damn that tone is honestly beautiful
bruh that muted slapping at the end is to DIE for.
Finally some stuff on this channel
Bruh this was so sick! Hope to see more stuff!
I like it that you always keep that Karnivool Goliath tone no matter how poppy the song is.
Awesome.
Clay do more of this pleaseeeee 🥺🥺🥺
I could listen to that run that harmonizes with "way they put it down on me" for eternity
Fans from THAILAND 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥
I remember meeting you guys in Santa Cruz on an old tour. Good times.
Ouchhh!!! love your approach on making ghosts notes real rythm fills.
You need the attention you deserved bro
Hope to see you posting more some day! You're a huge inspiration!
time for some bass love. I like the chonky tonee and that brkklajldkjaf sound is so good.
we need MORE of this content
I love the thing that you did. Please keep doing things.
This and that bass line Nolly did for Periphery - Prayer Position did are my favorite things right now.
Prayer position is on another level 😂
This is also god tier
Keep it up Clay. I'm a huge fan!
watched this without even realizing it was clay, polyphias fuckin bassist, thanks for playing such a sick part love it
dude you are one really incredibly good looking guy... your style and energy is awesome bro
This actually really helped me with the guitar part in the song
Bass is the buttery essence of the band. ❤chyu Clay!
So many ghosts in those notes....
I love your tone, man..
I would really love to see you actually do full bass lessons on different techniques etc, as opposed to just playthroughs. I find the style that you've developed is so addicting, and I recently bought a 5 string so I'd be right here
We need a close up cam of that right hand action!
so glad that he posts this
This is so satisfying
I need more clay gober
Crazy how even on a mostly simple line you still make it nutty
It only been a short 38 years since he posted here. How time flies.
Super clean. Love the style.
such a great funky tone
Clay! Thanks for all your incredible contributions to music and bass! You're the good standard for modern bassists who want to both hold the song together and have a voice in the process.
Now we need to whole thing
0:30 I'm sorry, WHAT
I love the bass fills,
The things that go “badabatikkaba” and stuff.
0:12 I think..
Awesome playing 👍 thanks for taking the time to share
Absolutely filthy, and yet... So clean...
A M A Z I N G

Absolutely amazing

Ah yes- the new man, the new legend 🤟🤟🤟
Good afternoon sir- good to see you here!
Okay, RUclips done messed something up. Why the Füçk doesn't this have way more views - and why the Füçk doesn't Clay have more subscribers?
You are clearly a great bass player! Really liked your energy in cologne with unprocessed few years ago
Man your basslines are always perfect 🖤🔥
This man is a legend.
Hells yeah! More Clay!
ugh its so good
That bass 🤩
Omg omg omg what technique…and what sweet note/phrasing choices too…omg again…one of the best alive…possibly the single best hybrid attack style guy alive actually…could go on…
So funky and clean damn
Killer tone. Clean playing. Very nice.
they should for real add a bass solo in their next album/song
You play it exactly how the guy from Polyphia plays it, congrats
Those runs toward the end were so effortless for Clay that I could barely see movement in his right hand lol.
Man this guy is pretty good he should join a band or something!
He is the bassist of poliphia band
@@user-io6bp3td1s I know he is lmao supposed to be sarcastic but hard to convey I’m replies
You rip my guy, bass gives another dimension to these wonderful arrangements
this is amazing
Welcome back my dude
His technique is superb!!!
Beautiful bass.
Killing it man, love the slap picking. Mind blown.
So fuckin clean; mans such a goon and Im here for it
Every single member of Polyphia is a master at their instrument! Clays base lines are absolutely insane.
0:39 for Clay-Face
Always inspirational
The shirt rocks!
Yay, We love you Mr Gober 🥺
