Hey Paul I was just wondering, since your accent is quite strong, where are you from?
How about spotlighting Matt Freeman of Rancid and Charger btw his punk and ska playing with Rancid to his Lemmy inspired playing with Charger Matt Freeman is one of the most versatile bass players in any genre of Rock Music.
this is from before a time when people knew about his secret right hand technique.
putting up with mustaine's riffs on bass is pretty damn impressive
Ellefson is a very very talented player
Nope, actually i have awesome bass lines.
putting up with mustaine is pretty damn impressive
So yeah, "the only constant member"... I'm so sad he got kicked out
I mean when Dave revived the band in 2004 with System has Failed, Ellefson wasn't there. He only came back around 2009-2010 after United Abominations
@@kylebrady969and the band lost a lot of it’s sound because of it
I think he is underrated, not in the metal community, on mainstream, as he is not talked about as much as say, Cliff or Steve Harris, or even John Myung for the technical freaks. He is more of thinking man's bass player. The rock community does feel he should be even more respected
Dave Ellefson is one of my favorites, along with Frank Bello of Anthrax.
Megadeth is pretty much the grandaddy of technical thrash
I would also include DD Verni of Overkill.
"Try learning the intro of Peace Sells and you know what I mean". Oh, you got me man
Pick using bass players are almost always under rated. There is a certain snobbery aimed at them.
Hate to say it, but you’re right. As a guitarist who frequently doubles on bass, I usually get scrutinized a lot more for using a pick than I would playing finger style.
Funny thing is, everything I record with a pick is “sick, dude!” So there’s that!
What about Chris Squire or Christ Novoselic?
that snobbery was launched by that davie 504, sorry for my bad english
Chris Squire, Justin Chancellor, Paul McCartney, Carol Kaye. Even John Entwistle, Geezer Butler and John Paul Jones would switch to a pick for certain songs.
The punch, clarity and definition of the notes when using a pick just can't be duplicated playing fingerstyle, in my opinion. For me, my fingerstyle playing, the notes are just too muddy, the sound just too boomy. While I LOVE Cliff, Steve, Geddy, etc, pick players like Dave, Chris Squire, Duff McKagan, Krist Novolselic, and Eddie Jackson of Queensryche are where it's at for me.
Step 1. Be the most precise bass player on earth
@@possumweekend Les Claypool precise?
@@possumweekend john myungs tone itself isnt really precise. Works in the mix, great player sure but also due to low tunings he often sounds quite muddy
Step 3: Don't wank on the loo and leak the tape.
The bass and drums at 0:54 just sound epic together!
What I’ve always though of Ellefson is that he’s not a unique player, it’s just that he plays the hardest shit ever because he follows the guitar 100% of the time.
@@WilliamSullivan-uv1ht Yeah.
No he doesn't
David also uses his Brooklyn Era Spector NS-2 bass in the studio for songs that calls for a 4 string. He also owns and uses Modulus Quantum 5 basses along with his Jackson sig basses.
Would love a how to sound like Audie Pitre of Acid Bath
Excellent work. Thanks for doing this one. You've covered nearly all of my favourite bassists now.
Ellefson is definitely underrated and has some of the best bass tone. Megadeth have always been good when it comes to hearing bass on their albums. Even John Myung's great playing is ALWAYS low in the mix.
Use a flexible pick, play clean, precise and let the bass and amp settings do all the heavy lifting
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I really love this series! Keep rocking dude you are awesome!
My suggestions for upcoming videos: Flea, John Paul Jones, Aston "Family Man" Barrett, Dusty Hill, John Myung, Robert Trujillo, Jaco Pastorius and Billy Sheehan
You are THE MAN!! Ellefson is one of my favorites, and SOOO underrated. Thank you so much! P.S: I wrote this before seeing the video hahahaha
"Bass habits" is a great video series. Keep going!
Please make a video about Jason Newsted
My favorite of your “how to sound like” videos so far! I really enjoy how you break down a lot of the nuances of each player’s unique style. Ellefson is one of my heroes!
One of my favorite players, thank you. Still waiting to see Eric Avery.
Great video. Ellefson is one of my top 3 bass players EVER. I have his signature Jackson bass with signature strings and of course Hartke amp.
Love Dave for his playing and because he's a perfect way to shut the pie trap to anybody who starts to tell me the bass player who plays with a pick can't really play :)
On Poison Was the Cure, he played partial chord and pedal tone at the same time in his intro👍
Do how to sound like Rex brown
What, get buried in the mix LOL
@@pensnut08 That was the case until Far Beyond Driven.
@@crazeyjoe I can hear the bass in Cowboys pretty good myself. Kinda reminds me of Jason Newsted’s Black Album tone but a little but more gritty.
@@ripperplaysclon152 You can hear the bass, however, the notes are not very distinguishable.
Love Ellefson's playing, he's such a killer player and Peace Sells was one of the first bass lines I learned how to play. Great video, man, I'd love to see one of these on guys like Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, John Entwistle or Flea sometime
You learned it but how long before you could actually play it?
He is more a guitar player that play bass to me.
Love your videos and work you put in.😎👍
Been waiting for this
Check the drum & Bass tracks of Holy wars, on the verse David locks with the Hihat by doing soft palm muting and lets it out once the snare comes in. Very tasteful and effective.
I learn a lot from you, Paul. Thank you!
You should make a video about peter hook of joy division he has a very unique style
Can you do a video on roger glover or Glenn Hughes
Metal bass master.
I’d love to see how to sound like Paul Simonon from the clash I’ve been trying to find a style like his for awhile now
HE FOCKING LEFT THE BAAAAND
Can you please do "how to sound like Chris Squire"? I know he is not a metal or grunge or punk player but he is really really melodic and tough player.
The best of the best of the best
I love your videos way too much. Please do a video on how to sound like Peter Steele from Type O Negative or Sammy Kiska from Greta Van Fleet or the bassist from Royal Blood
Even if he doesn't play on some studio hits, I can't wait for the Gene Simmons episode !
Insane content, just watched your videos about Matt Free man and now this.
You earned a sub here.
Next video about DD Verni of Overkill please!.
To be perfectly honest, Overkill was never "my thing", they have some cool songs, but overall not my most favorite band.
But DD Verni is crazy as a Bass Player.
How to sound like Jared Followill from Kings of Leon, the dude has a really tasty tone in all of their songs
Word. Jared is in my top 5 favorites.
I would also like a How to sound like Carlos Dengler breakdown, the man is the bass player for Interpol and he's truly one of a kind. Arguably, one of the best rock bassist in the past 20 years.
Video about Marko Hietala would be cool!
🤘✨
RIP
Best pick player in the world. Period.
How to sound like John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin.
Dear Paul, can you do a video on how to sound like John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin?
How to sound like Dave Ellefson 2021?Reply with your best phone sex joke.Example:Dave Ellefson "No honey I swear..I was giving her a Zoom lesson on pull-offs"
Bust in Peace
@@Bassi3D noice
Hi! Can you do Mr. Billy Sheehan?
How to play like Billy Sheehan:
1-10. Be Billy Sheehan
Do steve harris pls
0:34 aged poorly
Actually Ellefson was gone for about three records.
And now the rest
Correct me if I'm wrong. I think Megadeth had a different bassist for a while.
Yeah, James Lomenzo for a while
@@DanielBeristain666 now he is playing with John Fogerty)
How to sound like Lexxi Foxx of Steel Panther
Joey demaio
I'd love to sound like Gene Simmons!
Ellefson did a good job of staying out of the way. Sadly, it’s a tough gig to add punch but not muddy the sound or the song. Even harder when the songwriter doesn’t have a great feel for bass. Metallica got away with it because Cliff was better than James and Dave, and learnt what to do after his death... Tom Araya is even better because you don’t even know there is a bass in Slayer LOL 😆
Underrated??? Maybe by those that doesn't pay attention. Easy to play like him??? Try it😒
Not underrated. Everyone knows how bad ass he is
Como Argentino tengo que decir "Aguante Megadeth"
SUBS PLEASE ESPAÑOL!!!!!
We love Ellefson, his family paying was key in Megadeth’s sound. Considering the history of the band, good and bad, we felt Mustaine releasing Ellefson was a huge “dick move.”
What's happening? All you talk about is how to sound like someone...have you decided to stop doing bass covers with tabs ??
We were utterly ashamed of how Mustaine treated Dave. and fired him. After all the history AND Mustaines shortcomings, we don’t under stand why he didn’t stand by Ellefson.🎧
