peteb Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Except he is isn't actually (hardly) slapping! More a feat of memory than particularly difficult if you are going to play Flea's part note for note....

Try and be funky with F#m7 and (almost) nothing else Quote
Doddy Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Weren't there two versions of this track? One with Flea,but I'm sure there's another version with Chris Chaney on bass. Neither of which are slapped. Quote
Marvin Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 It's definitely Flea on my album version, must admit I wasn't aware of an alternative recording. But I don't get out much. Quote
Sean Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I play this with the Amy band regularly and it's a case of remembering a few of the essential fills and just improvising around what Flea does. There's an absolute banging live version of it [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR6mEu5-egA"]here[/url] with the outstanding Taylor Hawkins drumming. The bassist has a great tone - no idea what he's using but it kills. I've have a real thing for Alanis - she is superhot in really weird grungy-scary-mary-stalker-knifing-you-in-your-sleep kinda way.

TheRev Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I have a transcription from an old copy of Bassist magazine -some of the fills are quite different from the Bassmasta tab. I can scan it and email it to you if you want it? Quote
thepurpleblob Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks for everybody's help. Now I have had a bit more time to reflect it doesn't seem so bad. Just learn a few of the fills and mix them around. There's nothing there I can't play (hopefully). Quote
