Red Hot Chili Peppers - Tell Me Baby (Bass Cover) (Play Along Tabs In Video)

Tips And Comments:

- Playing Technique:

Played with slap next to the fretboard with middle high strength. All volume knobs at full.

- Gear Sound:

Added treble and some bass. Cut down some mid

- About The Song:

Once you get the main two riffs, the song is not hard to get. Recommended for people with some notions about a well executed slap. Also is a good song to start practicing slapping if you slow down a bit and get good muscle memory. The two 16th notes played with thumb slap in the main riff may give you some trouble, specially trying to get the sound. Used an isolated bass to transcribe and some live videos to get correct positions

Dude, been watching your vids for quite a while now and got to say you are one of the better bassists I have seen hands down. (Been playing bass for 20+ yrs) Not just your obviously advanced skills on multi instruments, but you are so versatile its almost stupid. Can go from playing Cannibal Corpse into Layla by Clapton and then finish strong with a totally random funk thump/pop bass line. Every bands dream in a bassist. But, THEN... To top it off, you post the vids and take requests on THREE diff instruments!! I know, not magic to some people. But, IT IS at this level. If anyone has opened up a half way decent you tube instructional channel that takes req's, is can get CRAZY NUTS with tons of reqs, trolls, ppl requesting weird outlandish things, ect. Solid bass playing, awesome drums and guitar, great stuff all around. Good show good sir, keep it up brother.

Higher Ground - RHCP THANKS FOR UR VIDS!

This song has been on my mix a bunch so I guess it’s time to grind it out. Ghost notes are tough for me so I always fear the Flea

[Just_Gent]

I told myself when I first heard this song 3 months ago that I would be able to play this on the bass. I can finally do it!



If anyone thinks that 3 months is a long time to learn a song I got my bass over the summer of this year and only learned how to slap because of this song

[davidscothern]

So many notes, so little time. Even at half speed, the co-ordination to handle slapping the ghost notes is not coming quickly!

[teteskone]

Wonderful bass tone. I was desperately looking for something like this, thank you so much!

[resiray]

Your bass covers have helped me out so much, I owe you one big one for all the help. Keep it up!

[EastTexasPatriot]

I noticed your comment about the 16th notes. The ghost notes are the absolute hardest thing to duplicate from Flea! They completely change the song though. Really good altogether!

[JosephHhh-un]
