- I love the 'screaming' wah sounds of Cliff Burton - it's a shame that the bass wasn't mixed louder on this track; Metallica never were that kind to bassists on their album mixes were they haha!?
As this song has a long intro before the bass comes in I did a little bit of a 'rig rundown' for how I achieved the tone on this one.
I love the Metallica instrumentals, and this is no exception; with its evil/mysterious intro, distorted bass-wah-shrieking, one of my favourite Kirk Hammet guitar solos in the middle and cool lead harmonies towards the end. - Hudba
Which Metallica instrumental shall I cover next!?
Anesthesia please!!!!!!!!! Btw one of the best covers I have seen if not the best
@@claytonk7452 thanks mate, I really appreciate that 😁. I could have a go at Anaesthesia - I know everything up to when the drums come in, but never learnt the rest. I’ve always loved that tapped harmonics part towards the end... maybe I’ll have a go!
Orion btw i subbed
Bruh, make anastesia cover pleease
To live is to die would be neat. You don't even need to search for a backing track since it's from AJFA!
Probably the best approximation on CZcams, tone-wise. Those screams are pretty brutal. I'd almost say the tone is better than the original
Wow, thanks mate 😁
Amazing rendition! The bass screams are exceptional. One of the rare times a cover beats the original, I feel like the original of The Call of Ktulu really misses the emphasis on the bass guitar and you just hit a nail in the head here.
Wow, thanks! Better than the original, that’s some high praise when it’s Mr Cliff Burton!!!
Man this cover needs more views . Fuckin bad ass man, nailed it
Thanks Craig 😁
Best cover on youtube by far!
Wtf dude that tone is freaking amazing and spot on. Keep rocking✌️
Thanks mate, I was really pleased with the tone on this!
The bass line for this song is kick ass!
Agreed! It’s such a shame that it wasn’t mixed louder
cliff is legendary
Burton was NUTS!
Best one I've heard yet! those wah screams give me chills, good job mate 👏
The best cover I've heard on YT so far. Brutal!
Perfect cover. Don't even know what to do add, lol.
Bro that tone and playing was awesome 🔥
thanks youtube for recomendation, fckn love it. good work!
Awesome bass cover! Thank you!
Great work man, make that thing sound like a true deep sea demon
What a good tone man
Excellent tone, AAAND proper playing techique which is extremely rare here on 'tube. Visibly you had a strict yet very good teacher. Congratulation, keep it up.
Thanks mate! I’m actually self taught 🤘😁🤘
@@Longy_b really?😄 Well, then you're very dedicated and you have good eyes for the details. I used to play finger style as well and the first thing I was taught was the alternate finger picking. Thx for the answer.
@@zoltanember6353 my sister’s friend taught me the very basics of alternating picking fingers and then I think a major and minor scale pattern for the left hand. He then went travelling for 6 months and left me one of his basses and then I just learnt things by looking up tabs online. I then started figuring out bits of theory along the way by noticing patterns in all the tabs I was learning. Then when CZcams started getting bigger and better I probably picked up a few more music theory points from various videos. I think a big part of learning is also just watching footage of your favourite bass players and trying to pick out the fine details of what they do.
+respects! Good job
Incredible
Fucking beautiful. Those pull-off fills are so tasty
Bro that shit was fuckin crazyy
This is incredible, Tom! Playing is all relative and I’m decent but you’re an amazing player!!
Nice one !!!
Nice job🤘
Superb.
Good 😊
Cool cover! ;)
very good job mate :)
Top top top ... solo perfect
Newborn cliff burton 👊🏻👊🏻🎸🎸👑👑
I would like to see a camera doing the wah-wah pedal! Awesome job dude!!
unfortunately I only had one camera at the time (My phone!). I have another camera now. Maybe I’ll have a go at doing that on the next video that involves wah or lots of pedal board dancing 😁 it’ll certainly put my video editing skills to the test
@@Longy_b that would be awesome! Because it's part of the song.
did you based yourself on the Rob version ? cause these are his licks when he plays it
I did a little bit yes. The bass is so low in the mix on the original it’s hard to hear exactly what Cliff plays. I checked out a lot of live footage of Rob playing it and managed to get some of his licks under my fingers
zajebiste
wow great cover. metallica is amazing. what is your favorite metallica song?
Yuval X thanks 😁, oh that’s a hard question - there are so many good ones. I guess if I had to say only one, it would probably be Master Of Puppets. What about you?
@@Longy_b what do you think about my song:czcams.com/video/faeeJ6Y7zfw/video.html
hello! amazing cover!! do you have only the bass track? can you give it to me
to create a backing track? I can buy it to you if you want, greetings
If you don't mind me asking and don't mind you answering, how tall are you? That bass looks huge on you and Warwick bodies are super tiny compared to most basses.
Haha no worries mate - I’m ~178cm which is roughly 5ft 10
What are all those little boxes connected for lol I'm trying to get into playing bass but it's confusing
I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean...Little boxes?
@@Longy_b in the beginning you show a lot of little square things connected
@@tigredecorazon-3274 oh! Those are effects pedals - they change the way your bass can sound. You step on them to turn them on and off, and each one has its own controls to change various parameters for that given effect. Combining different effects pedals in different orders is one way to help to create different sounds for your bass.
@@Longy_b ahhh ok thanks good video btw
do you have any tabs for this version you played???
I don’t I’m afraid. I think I just learnt this from tabs that already exist, watching other cover videos on CZcams and also by watching the live versions from the last decade or so with Robert Trujilo playing. Lots of different sources!
W
?
Dude nice playing! Btw you're like 7ft OMG
Thanks. Im not even 6 ft haha! I about 5ft 10
If you don’t mind me asking, why do you blend the wah?
I like the sound of having a nice unaffected low end underneath the wah 😁
@@Longy_b That’s what I was thinking. I’m guessing the blend also helps the wah to stand out a bit more. Awesome cover
Use a distortion or overdrive after wah, it will sound more powerful and the screams won't be as dull, nice job though!
thanks man! I've played around with distortion/wah order loads over the years and have always preferred wah first.
@@Longy_b its best to have a fuzz pedal before the wah and a tube screamer after it for cliffs tone. Boss cs2 or 3 somewheere in the mix too
Tabs please
Sorry but I don’t have any. My advice would be to check ultimate guitar, search CZcams for bass isolated versions and to try watching lots of live videos to see how people play it.
Dave Mustaine's best sont with Metallica.
What bass is that?
It is a Warwick Corvette. I mention my pickup setting and active/passive choice in the opening seconds of the video.
@@Longy_b awesome
@@Longy_b I think Rob has that one too
@@ork_oz I think his signature bass is a bit closer to the Warwick Streamer design. Very similar though! I love my Warwick bass 🤘😁🤘
