So I thought this would be another easy song, midtempo, from one of my favourite bands (not so much favourite bassist, but thats that). Boy was I wrong! Or at least for the verse section I just can’t figure out the beat:
Starting at 0:35
Does this start on 1 at all? It more feels like
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -
1 x x - x x x x
x being the notes played
Can someone shed any light on this?
Yeah that’s a pretty common syncopation - sounds awesome
TIL, thank you, I will get out my metronome to get this right
Simply counting this one is pretty easy too.
one AND TWO and three AND FOUR AND…
Use Moise or other to split out the bass and listen directly as well. Slow it down and play along til under your fingers.
Great choice. I dig this song. 
just seen that Del Bello has an isolated track as well
this helps a bit, but I guess isolated drums + bass would be even better to hear the syncopation.
Also great channel in general, for later songs he has notes as well and I can also recommend his bass habits playlist as well, were he analyses the style of different bassists
Yes it does. That’s one of my weird little good luck -ism’s when I’m warming up. I do runs up the fretboard through scales and modes, when I get to the end I’ll finish it off by doing those 0/7 octaves on all four strings. No reason, I just started noodling it some time last year, now I do it every day.
Result! After many reps with the metronome (I can’t count and play for my life) I got it. Also figured out to get the slides correct, rest was a piece of cake.
Call me god of thunder..
Or god of ringing overtones, because it turned out this song is also a good exercise fretting hand muting this E string
Thanks alot
