Cameronj279 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 As far as I'm aware he plays it on a fretless. That could be a large factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBassBob Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 In what way does it not sound right? The notes? The tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgraff Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 When I was much younger and more dextrous, I could play it (sort of) and I started by (sort of) mastering the version on "Suck on This" which is much slower and simpler. Probably not much help, but it might help to master the weird muting Mr. C. goes in for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott S Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Yeah, he's an annoying little stoat, the sound is crap and so is the camera angle, but he gets close to it round about the 5.55 min mark... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCc-qsxdTe4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
