In this Give It Away bass guitar lesson, I will show you the bass line from the Red Hot Chili Peppers song Give It Away Now, which uses a very distinctive articulation by Flea.

[@pallmall7385]

This is great. Was really wondering why I couldn't sound like the recording.

[@therocker1639]

There's definitely some sort of weird effect there. Possibly a wah? Not sure. Even so, to get the wet popping sound you'd need an effects pedal.

[@vqoo]

Split my left index finger in half doing the slides. Gah

[@nicoanony]

Ouch wtf

[@sashasmokes721]

Wtf how

[@Soothing432]

Tune down to 432 hz instead of regular 440 eases the unnatural tension ;)

[@HentaiTrapLord]

Big ouchie

[@cnnr_]

Good. Means you're working hard!

[@swami1]

That bass line is funk heaven.

[@TheALyon8]

It's called Give It Away. Just sayin...

[@jayfulkerson6329]

oh you're that guy; correction guy

[@Kalimon789]

just saying something stupid!

[@jeffreyduda8786]

Sweet. You fixed it. Now bassists can learn it.

[@zippy4185]

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down???? This is a great introductory vid to learning this song! Thank you for posting.

[@tripleplatinum06]

I wish you had added the fill at the end of the riff. Otherwise great vid!!

[@noone-cc8so]

I should have a moderately free week next week and i can finally play bass Im so excited

[@combatoverrideswitch8611]

I don't play bass. I played sax 30 years ago. This is awesome. Can't stop watching.

[@OliverHall1]

I’ve moved from sax to bass - follow the path to enlightenment ;)

[@Laughterhouse5]

This has really helped me with the muting/dead notes! Thank you!

[@Bb186fo]

This reminds me a bit of the bass in The Beatles "Come Together" lol

[@indigoking6618]

Hi I wander if you should put beginner at the title , because I was not looking for the simple riff but the note that join the E bit back to A riff then the actual notes that finish the song. Great tone by the way.

[@kanvlad5836]

Спасибо, мастер, очень доходчиво ( мне 45 я из россии , 4 месяца сидел дома на самоизоляции, и решил освоить бас гитару)

[@sirdudeness1386]

Best lesson I've found to learn this song! Thanks brother!

[@mrbungle7586]

Great video, this is how I play it. Many others will say the slide part is just d to e, 12 to 14th fret on d then to the g. I think it sounds better as you've shown and the ghost or dead notes is something Flea uses a lot. Well done and great tone. Cheers

[@Einsneunzig190]

You can also see in the documentary FUnky Monks that Flea is doing the slide from the bottom up

[@cnnr_]

Thank you so much. All the tabs I saw didn't help at all. This is now my favourite song to play because it's so fun and iconic and funktastic!

[@wilkin-son]

what bass is that sounds so good

[@kanvlad5836]

И ещё: я совершенно не понимаю речь, я носитель русского языка, тем не менее на уровне музыки мне всё понятно, абсолютно

[@JordanBesser]

I love how snappy this guy’s bass is

[@JohnSmith-cl2sq]

You play it so well and also it sounds so like Flea himself! That’s unusual because he used a Wal bass. Props to you my friend 🤘

[@sssnarkalive]

How did you get your tone in this video?

[@JosephHhh-u8n]

Finally a video CLear on the muted notes a.k.a dead notes 👋 awesome!
Finally a video clear about dead notes awi

[@chadyates5222]

Thanks for breaking it down on this baseline, I just started trying to learn the bass again and this is one of the first songs I want to learn and also enjoy the stuff on your channel boss🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@sandisastudem6532]

Can you make a bass leesson of King Of Wishfull Thinking????????

[@isosnitsky]

i think i got it right but all i get out of my bass can be described as sadface :(

[@L-B-Q]

Wow this lesson deserves more love! Thank you so much

[@CenterStageGuitar]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AlanSpenceAlanGCCMSpence]

Hello, say how is your action set? Low..or..is it standard tuned? Step down maybe?..thanks

[@michaelmoore7568]

So does he play a flat third under a major chord?🎉

[@Yosemite-George-61]

THIS is the way to tach this stuff...! Thanks a lot!

[@sixsentsoldiers]

Very Come Together if you think about it.

[@genesissmith9241]

The intro is similar to the beatles song Come Together

[@mnpd3]

I only really like two-songs ever done by the Chili Peppers, but I've always appreciated Flea's skill with the bass.

[@dsgwright]

Come together

[@gvngrave6698]

[@Dickcheese2011]

Great lesson. Its a beginner riff and he taught it as such. Lot of “lesson” videos go way too fast he really broke it down well
