Vulfpeck - 1612 (Bass Cover) (Play Along Tabs In Video)

Tips And Comments:

- Playing Technique: Played next to the bridge with different dynamics through the song (listen to the band and get the feel, some breaks at the end use less dynamics, and then more, etc). Just neck knob at full

- Gear Sound: Just DI through very little compression adn some eq make up at the end (cut some low mid, added some low)

- About The Song: Incredibly fun song, recommended band for sure. You really need to get the groove going and be very aware of the rythmic patterns. Ghost notes are probably more or less in some parts Transcribed from studio version with positions corrected via live videos, a little lesson from the original bassist, and the original clip from the studio song

Need more tips? Just comment!

My journey basically started two years ago when I found this tab from you. I cannot belieeeevvvvee how much I've progressed. Bassist youtubers are the MVPs.

I have never heard of Vulfpeck, but after hearing this song I have to go listen to all of their stuff

[justcallmecaligula]

goddamn, i love vulfpeck, and i've always wanted to do one of their songs on bass but i don't think i'm good enough yet. joe dart is a legend, and i hope to be as good as him one day.

First half: Sure, no problem.
Second half: Er, just hit any note and hope the bassline is passing it at the time.

You are the one who introduced me to the Vulf. Please receive my eternal gratitude!!!
Smooth playing by the way!

[Kebbie]

This was the first thing I learned! 2 months in and progress is going well! Thanks for the great vid!

[allamericandude]

These guys are recently one of my favorite bands to jam to. Joe Dart can lay down some funky ass grooves.

Hey man awesome cover and tabs! I don't know if anyone pointed this out already but the 8 at 1:54 is actually a 10, and also what you played. Awesome video, subbed!

[macadaymo]

got it on 75% speed and the bass cover is still clean, great work on this one man! it's obvious you put a lot of work into it

[romywilliamson]

I love this cover so much that I set my gym locker code to 1612 and I sing it in my head every time I need to remember it. (If you can track it down down then I applaud your dedication and you're welcome to steal my gym locker contents)

[hughbyrne]

very good!! can you do beastly, fugue state or dean town?? thanks

[bertile_fri]

Im teaching myself to play bass guitar and have been practicing for like a month now and updating my progress on my channel. Trying to challenge myself to play this as a one month review this sunday- I know it might be too much for a month only, but I also see it as a way of learning, even if it doesnt work out. Really love the way you played it and also using this to practice. Thank you!!! You are amazing :)

[callumgraham]

Can you cover some Herbie Hancock? Maybe Watermelon Man, The Traitor or You Bet Your Love.

[pmdinaz]

Just watched their Madison Square garden show, had to come back to this!
You da man!

[ALaughingMan]

Ohhh nice. See, my ears hear more of a

E:3 A:0 A:3 A:3 than a E:3 E:5 A:3 A:5 but after watching this one, I find this much better. Your grove is golden btw.

[mejsjalv]

So you think you got it... you can play it up to speed.

Then the second half comes and Joe Dart schools your ass. And the bass cover guy knows it, 'cause he's fucking good too. Good thing Cover dude puts the chords as well. Gives you a chance to improvise something and not totally suck at trying to play this one while reading the tab.

[skaterdude]

for the record, i so wish more bass players had this format. Tab right alongside what you play, marker indicating what notes being played, chords on the top so you see how they connect. U2GUD

[FimbusPainting]

Just getting in to a R&B phase, seems like the perfect time to be introduced to this band

[lukerussell]

I think I had a heart attack when I got the notification. You should do dean town. going straight to patreon

[marianaabreu]

that's awesome! I love this band/song so much, I actually just got a bass for myself today because of this song, even thought I've never played bass before <3
