    Tips And Comments:
    - Playing Technique:
    Played between pickups (double bass parts are played next to the neck) with high strength. Bridge knob at 0
    - Gear Sound:
    Added some mid high frequencies and treble, not much bass.
    - About The Song:
    I will upload a lesson that will clear some things about three finger technique. Most of the song has this riff and it will surely consume most of your stamina. Just try to play relaxed. I'm not very good in three fingers myself. Use always your ring finger to start the figure
    Need more tips? Just comment!

    Story behind this song:
    Les Claypool wanted all bass-players of the world to play the 32nd-notes as best as possible, so he wrote "the toys go winding down".

    I think I'm way out of my league. I just bought an epiphone t bird (I know the basics of bass but not experienced) and love this song. It's looks simple but not simple at the same time. I am a very dedicated person so maybe as a first full song this could be quite rewarding to learn.

    • @kalli71
      @kalli71 Před 3 lety +3

      pretty much everyone out of their league when it comes to Primus bass playing.love the song also. the fingering for the most part is not too complex. the main verse rather simple and later same just octave down. Maybe practice the song first with less picking. hit each note only once instead of each note with a super-fast-triplet to get the musical part down. practise the triplets seperately, then try to combine
