Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop (Bass Cover) (Play Along Tabs In Video)

Tips And Comments:

- Playing Technique:

Fingered parts played next to the bridge pickup with middle strength.

Slap Parts played close to the end of the fretboard with LOTS of strength (blister alert)

Neck pickup knob at 0, bridge at full. Tone knobs at full

- Gear Sound:

Bass at 1 o clock, Mid at 10, Treble at 4 or 5

- About The Song:

I used an isolated bass part to transcribe, i think it's accurate. Missed some parts in the video. Flea slaps REALLY hard and it might be painful.

Need more tips? Just comment!

*All the tabs in this channel are created by me, if you have any advice in the transcription feel free to comment!

*Gear: Taurus t-24 Washburn 4 String Bass (D'addario .045 Standard Strings)/ Fred Stevens Les Paul Guitar - ESI Ugm-96 Interface - PC (Digital Processing)

MY BAND:

[azibhazim]

First 50 seconds: "Can't Stop"
After 50 seconds: "Can I Stop?"

I can play 0:32 - 0:52 exactly like Flea, but I just can't get the rest.

electric guitar is badass, especially in solos, but the bass delivers that kickass tune that drives you crazy for ages.

[ChaseThePinballWizard]

Ok guys, I've got Feel Good Inc. I wanna give this a try next.

[Rikkii]

That triplet at 3:38 is insane! I usually just play a slap dead note instead of the second pop note because it's easier but damn it's still a hard move to pull off.

a few years ago in my old school some 11/12 year old kids played this, they had a little band and i always heard them practicing, they were awsome! they played this in assembly and everytime i hear this song it reminds me of them, i wonder if they're still a band🤔

[udcgnfh]

Me: I can play this song
Pop & Slap: **exists**
Me: No I cant

[DmitriGilchrist]

Ya made a mistake fam. At 3:27-3:30, the tab says to play 14 12 10 12 but instead he plays 12 10 8 10. It's all a lie guys. How can we trust this boi again. One of his most popular vids incorrect! I can't believe I was a fan!

Jk I don't really care. I thought it would be cool to point out. Plz put out more covers! Love ur work

[ngprentee]

I’m a guitarist and I just got a bass 30 min ago and I thought I could play this ez lmao, I was so wrong

[drunkasshole]

I "Can't stop" watching these videos

[KYUBIMATIAS]

Sometimes you just have to hear the bass higher in the mix to appreciate how much thought goes into Flea's parts.
Great playing, by the way!

[MrZashiratori]

*Hot girl: "awesome... what can you play on your bass?*
*Me: "I can play the first 52 seconds of Can't Stop by Red Hot Chili Peppers.."*
And that's the story of how I got

[MrSrtman]

Imma learn bass if it kills me. Iv never played anything ever. Im following along the tabs, i dont know nothing. Im learning tho

[Squiggys]

Thank you so much. My sis plays the bass and I like RHCP but she doesn't so maybe I could convince her with this. Thanks man

[tubadude]

The endurance it takes to slap for a song...well done as always.

[whiteopdad]

6 years ago I saw this and thought I would never be able to play it and today I came back to it and finally got it

[ronaldodev]

If you are with negativity, just hear this bass, at time you feel better

[Zuerich]

These are the best bass tab videos on Youtube.  What sets you apart is that the rhythm is notated which makes it much easier to learn the fast/difficult sections.  Thanks!
