Mark, huge thanks for posting this video, I'm a huge Fishbone fan and I have never seen a more thorough breakdown of Bonin' than this. I just completed your beginner course and now starting the Bassic Modules. I'm really pleased with the courses-just everything I have been looking for in online courses for the bass. When you can could you post a how-to on the solo that Norwood does for Bonin'? Thanks so much, Steve
Awesome tuto for one of the craziest bass line ever heard. The solo part ( Funkyyy funkyyy baaass !! ) would be an awesome add, i've very hard time to transcribe that by ears But whatever, great work, thx a lot
So good. Thanks! Gospel influence must be mentioned. Like Mark said, getting the timing on the descending octave slap is really hard. See similar lick (bass solo break) in another Fishbone classic "When Problems Arise." I've been working on that for 25 years (!!) and still can't get it.
Nice video Mark but we would like also too see Iron maiden bass lines WE NEED THAT you uploaded a video about steve harris ine year ago and you promised one more video like that please make imthat video
Hi Mark, thanks for the great video as usual! Btw I had an issue with popping and I didn't find any good instruction video about it. Sometimes I get my finger stuck on the string so the popping move comes a bit slower then it should be and I get off the rhythm. Would be great if you give some hints about it next time.
Hi Alex! I used to have this problem when I was learning, but the secret is using almost the tip of your index/middle finger to pluck the string. It takes a little bit of practice to nail the right finger position on the go, but it will eventually happen if you repeat it enough. Good luck!
@@mfC0RD thanks man, you're right, I just started to practice slap recently) Will take your point in mind. When I'm trying to pop with tip it usually sounds too flat like I'm just fingering it in the regular way. Keep practicing it anyway, thanks.
It looks like when you're into he home position, you are playing the notes with the length of your fingers as opposed to your finger tips? Is that correct?
So I had a very hard time following the really fast part. You could slow it down, even when I slow it down it's too fast to understand. Also, I start getting blisters on my popping fingers even after just 5 min of practice. What's your advice?
Take the riff down to a super slow speed. Focus on isolating each movement. As for the blisters, you'll eventually build calluses. Rest until blisters die down. Then practice hard. Rest and recover. Practice hard. A few weeks/months and you won't get the blisters b
@@talkingbasslessons thanks. I think I just had a hard time focusing but at 75% on my third review I think I got it. And I figured that would be advise about blisters. I have callouses on my fretting tips but didn't think I would need them on my right until I started learning slap/pop
Although, I like Fishbone, have a few of their albums & have seen them live, Fishbone was/is far from thrash. Here is a TRUE thrash/groove metal song with a little slap bass in it: ruclips.net/video/uqPkaG3zxsA/видео.html
I'm a huge fan of yours and your channel. You provide a lot of great content for bass players to work on. However slapping is overrated af. Focus more on music theory, fills and metal bass playing tutorials. This is not meant as a criticism as I like the videos you present, just a friendly reminder
I have taken His online courses and is plenty of musical theory and playing fundamentals, also he reserved slap in different courses, if someone are interested in such technique.
first off, fish only plays 5 string bases so you don't even have the right number of strings for this song or any fishbone song.. not even close to what fish actually plays. this is just a slappy mess
Never expected to see fishbone here, Great band!

Norwood so underrated.. next the bass solo for this song lol! Funky. Ass. Basssss

But whatever, great work, thx a lot
Great lesson, well taught (as always). Nice combination of slapping, popping, technique, and rhythm.
Absolute legend Mark. Thank you so much.
Super. The solo is the thing on this one!
Awesome lesson, thanks Mark.
Great lesson! Looking forward to watching more. Thanks!
Thx Mark,love me a bit of Fishbone.
A very civilised bass lesson about a song which is about having sex in a cemetery.
So good. Thanks! Gospel influence must be mentioned.

Wish you made a video on how to play the whole song :(
There are no other comprehensive videos i can find on how to play all of bonin in the boneyard.
Hi Mark, thanks for the great video as usual!

I think they were influenced from Prince's "1999".
Nice editing at 7:12 😂
Yup. Skillz!!

Too shy kajagoogoo

First. Hi mark
Second!!!
Me, a female bassist: am I a budding slapper???
Great lesson but mine sounds really TRASH 🤣

Says slapping is overrated yet plays metal.
It's a style, popular. Useful if you play certain types of music. Get out of your box.
