How LOW Can It Go? ...Downtuning my BASS

I tune my bass guitar down to the resonant frequency of the ionosphere, approximately 7.83 Hertz. Your mobile device speaker will have no trouble producing the low end frequencies within this video. Be sure to have an ample noise floor to enhance the experience. Enjoy.

This video is part of my book, BASS 4-String Etudes, Riffs, Songs & Exercises. It comes with the sheet music, tabs, audio, bassless backing tracks, and Guitar Pro files, and a ton more music, lessons, and exercises. :)

The most down to Earth tuning on the web.
Share your puns, pls. Best one gets a Thumbs up from me.
SONG TITLE, for those of you asking. :) I call it, "Ionosphere" by Nathan Navarro. I'll turn it into a full song sometime soon.

[brockband]

I personally use elevator cables and an octave pedal. But you do you.

Girls talking to me:

[Timocracy]

Oh yeah man, been playing in drop Schumann for years. You just don't get that kind of atmosphere out of the other (INFERIOR) tunings.

[eclipse]

It went from sounding like music to you trying to eradicate the earth. lmao

[xandersthoughts]

I, too, am a big fan of Drop Q tuning. And now I need to change my pants.

[catman]

So THATS how Korn gets their bass tone

[joshua_cassidy]

That just killed every djent kids dream of having the lowest tuning ever.

[andrewmuttonchops]

Guitarists when someone tells them to play a bass

2:58 - Cold starting my Harley-Davidson after a couple months without a ride.

[juanflorez]

This bassline is underated. Very tight, sounds cooler each time even tho at the end u realize they all sound equally awesome

[Fishfishfishfishfishfishfishfi]

yeah, this is a super interesting video, but can we just talk about the little melody he made for this video?? it’s so unbelievably catchy

[kyros]

Dude. I never ever comment on YouTube videos but I just wanna say that this video is so awesome. Quick and to the point. You do exactly what you said you were gonna do. Awesome awesome bass playing. And like? I didn't have to sit and listen to you talk about each one making a perfect perfect 4 minute video into a 12 minute one. Absolutely groovy dude. And that lowest tuning! That's so cool! Incredible that you were still able to play with the string moving that slowly!

[maxwell]

I love how by the end it essentially becomes a percussion instrument

[djentslayer]

I'd absolutely love to hear this with a load of distortion.

[AH_Ah_]

Let's be honest.
This riff is so fricking good.
Nathan Navarro you're an amazing riff writer.

[jayzcoverz]

This is Jason Newsted tuning while making And Justice for All album.

[interesting_tuna]

“What tuning do you play in?”

Nathan : oh, drop A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

[samp]

Ever since this video has come out I have slowly tried learning this monster of a bassline and today I can gladly saw I can finally play it.

[stephen-timothymedina]

Amazing as always, is there a 5 string version of that bass
