[/quote] Check out the "theory and technique" forum on this site. Scott posts under the id "devinebass", his vid lessons are (IMO) the best on the net.

mcnach Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1352649587' post='1865562'] would love to, but my recording technique can't really handle something like that right now, maybe in a few weeks. [/quote] what problem do you have with your recording technique? It sounded fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1352651806' post='1865597'] what problem do you have with your recording technique? It sounded fine to me. [/quote] I'm basically just playing through my very very crappy practice amp, and letting the little mic in my mac pick up the sound. it's ok, but it isn't great, plus it picks up a lot of room sound, and it can't handle much in terms of volume, and really does distort badly at high volume. that is my main problem. For some reason, when i play the A on my E string, it hardly picks it up... sounds like i"m hardly playing... then i go down to the G and it is loud as heck! oh well... i'll just have to make do for now. should have a sound card arriving in the next few days anyway.

alyctes Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (I thought I posted in this thread already. Curious.)

This one has pretty good sound quality, and better playing from me. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 It isn't a cover, but it is a video of me [i]talking [/i]about covers.

Dad3353 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Suggestions, Milty..? OK, here's another... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltyjNjsz8UU&list=UL"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltyjNjsz8UU&list=UL[/url] ...from one of the greatest bass players (imho, of course...). The whole album has great stuff on it, but this intro is tops (drumming, too...). Enjoy. (Dark Star..? Didn't appreciate it..? Blehh..? A bit 'special' perhaps, but top-notch bass playing, just the same...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might still include it though. I'm not just looking for songs that are heavy on the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1354668952' post='1889063'] Hey Milty. Try this - it's fun! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppR6LcGnkUY[/media] [/quote] Cheers for the suggestion Paul, it does sound like a bundle of fun that riff, but again, looking to play something that is more recognisable to the public rather than just really good for bass. I also cannot for the life of me figure out how i would even begin to play a fill in the riff. IT'S SO FAST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 hey, i covered a song earlier, and also talked a bit. there's also a secret special song that i play, just a little (poorly played) part, and you guys have to guess that song. GREAT! So here it is Enjoy [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeummJUcVoI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeummJUcVoI[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltyG565 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 For those wondering, i shall be doing more bass related stuff in future. Covers, product reviews, maybe even a couple other things along with that. and of course, some other funny events. Please subscribe, and i will try my best to put a smile on your face, or make you think deeply about the origins of life. But probably smile... it might be slightly easier to make you smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
