Living Colour - Cult Of Personality Bass Tab + Tutorial
This Cult Of Personality Bass Tab + Tutorial video will get you started on this beastly tune. For a tune this advanced, we don't have time to do slow playalongs for every section. So instead, armed with our bass tab/sheet music we'll talk through the tune together and I'll play all of the parts isolated so you can get the bass line in your ear.
Living Colour has a lot of great bass lines and it was a lot of fun to transcribe this tune and present it to you guys. Again, I highly recommend checking out the Transcribe program to aid you in your song learning - • Transcribe! - How I Le...
Have fun!

Playing the D in the main riff of this song as the open D string instead of the 5th fret of the A string was much easier for me. Too contorted the other way around. Thanx for posting. Awesome work on an awesome power jam tune.
+bigchickenfu I play it the same way. Thumbs up if you came to see his take on the chordal parts. :)
Complete opposite here, saw tabs elsewhere written that way, then found this and for me was instantly more natural.
5 years afterwards it happens the same for me, but i finally stick with the D on the 5th because of the muting, open strings are more difficult to mute at that speed.
Little late to the party 😆. Just got through warching the video. I play the open D as well. Also don't mind doing a pull-off to the open D just to change it up.
This is the hardest bass line I’ve ever had to learn so far. A whole lot of ring finger coordination and crossing of the strings. But I’m gonna master it because it’s a rock standard (and possibly a bass standard lol). Because my hands are slightly smaller than most bass player’s hands, I had to use the open D string as opposed to fretting it on the A string. This got me started so I greatly appreciate the walkthrough and the sheet music!
You should strive to do it the correct way! It sounds much better too !!! The open D does not sound right.
And you DONT have to have large hands to play it the correct way. The way it’s originally played.
Theirs little girls on RUclips that can play it correctly with their tiny little girl hands!😆😆😆
After you fret the f on the D string, lift up and move closer to the d on the A string and you can very easily fret the d with either your ring finger or even easier, your pinky!!!
Don’t baby your baby finger, USE IT!!!!!!
And remember, don’t take the easy route on things, it only keeps you from progressing as fast as you could be. You become a much better player when you push yourself at things until you succeed!!!
@@ZYGTropicals In living colors uses of open strings. Just watch any video of them playing this.
First time I've stumbled across this. Wow!
Great job Josh! That was a lot of work. Thank you!
I just happened to look up Cult of Personality tab and then I see your channel pop up. I decided to check the channel out because I haven't seen your videos in a while and then I see this was your last video. I already figured it out but I'm sure the tab is good. I aced Naked in the Rain because of you. Thanks
You're the man, Josh. I love how you open with stating that this song is hard - it is! I warm up with some Steve Harris runs before I give this thing a shot. Now that is saying something!
Thanks for all that you do!
i was learning 'my last word' by megadeth too when i started on this one but with fingers, that is hard too!
i thought this was funny vibe when i wrote that, i can already play cult but it took ages lol.
Great Tutorial Josh! Nailed most parts of this song but as you say the tempo in which it is played makes it quite tricky.
Super useful video and notation, thank you very much Josh.
DUDE you're an awesome bass player keep it up !!!!
Excellent lesson bro
You say "bassically" a lot and i love it. Since you know its bass lessons lol thank you for this video
nice lesson...man, what a challenging song... i have to learn this for a un rehearsed live show in a few weeks... ugh.. there's a reason ive been avoiding this one for a few years...lol
Haha yikes, better hope the rest of the band is practicing as hard as you are if there's no rehearsal for a tune like this!
This video has been so, so helpful! Could you please make one for "Under the Sea?" It's a lot more complex than I thought it was. Thank you.
Josh, Awesome Video, Great song
hey thank you for taking the time to save my ass on learning this. it's a pain in the ass Wonderful song
Thanks!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thanks
Great job
Great lesson, thanks! So I am curious: When you play the main riff, how do you finger it with your right hand? Do you do strict alternating index middle? It seems easier for me to do it Index (low G), middle (F), Index (D), Index (low G), Middle (E), but I don't want to develop bad habits.
I think I tend to go i-m-m-m-i, makes more sense to me to take the rake all the way through. I wouldn't call your fingering a 'bad habit' though, having a variety of possible RH fingerings is a good insurance policy!
Hi Josh, Great Video. Is the warm up exercise mentioned in this video the "Beast Scales Exercise"?
+MegaMelander Hey there, the exercise I referred and linked to there was this: ruclips.net/video/pU3MozMrA9k/видео.html
i play it without jumping down for the e note, i mean i play the bulk of it with fingers two and four, this took time but is easier when you get it?
So what program do you use for the tabs? When I try to print them out, they don't come out right. Thanks, and that is a great video!!
I write all my sheet music and tabs in Sibelius. But it's just a PDF file, should print like anything else, so you might need to troubleshoot on your end.
Love it :D
great video, what is the name of the transcription software you mentioned?
+Marco Hernandez It's called Transcribe, you can check out the video I did on it here: ruclips.net/video/aQD0IndERKs/видео.html (download links for 30 day trial are in description)
Thanks Josh, keep up the great work.
i thought the low e was at same time as high one when it happens, so you pull both at same time, its tricky at first but i thought i heard or learnt it that way for some reason?
That's how cover solutions plays it.
great job. How about Times Up their song
Correct me if I’m wrong, did you ever mention Muzz Skillings by name?
I just recently started playing my bass guitar and I’ve been slowly learning to play some songs. I know you’re not supposed to on bass but I’ve gotten in the habit of using a pick, bc I just find it easier, and I can hear myself playing better with it. This song is hard. I can play the main riff decently at a slow tempo but up to speed it sounds like garbage.
Dude, don't let anyone tell you not to play bass with a pick! Chris Squire, Paul McCartney, Justin Chancellor, Carol Kaye......and many others play with a pick either exclusively or often.
Bro you saved a gig for me
I didn't know you were vegan. Right on brother.
aye man how about the bass tabs for the intro of the video plz
When I reach $200 pledged per video on my Patreon page, I will do a full lesson with sheet music/tab for the slap bass video intro! patreon.com/joshfossgreen
+Josh Fossgreen cool. Say man how long have you been playing bass?
~13-14 years now! keeps getting more fun!
+Josh Fossgreen you right on that. And I've only been playing for 2 years
What tuning did you use?
Standard!
Josh Fossgreen thanks!!!
Josh I think I'm brain damaged for life after this tutorial , geez the anxiety of it all , maybe I need to go Vegan .Back to playing Another One Bites the Dust or Round About ,,, OOOHHHH !!!!!
Are you MaSTAR Media?
Your voice is alike.
bu pi pi do bu pi pi pi doh.... lol
Thumbs up for the shirt.
Cm punk join the group
Damn, you look like Cubbie Fink
could you do Flying by Living Colour ??
Jesus dude just show us the tabs already. 5 minutes in and i'm chasing your fretting hand like a cat chasing a mouse.
Link is right there in the description homie. Hope you didn't kill the mouse already.
Muzz Skillings was a killed player.
Good video, thank you very much ! But talking way too much ...
