than you all very much for your comments ! really appreciate
yeah itâs somewhere in the frontier between folk and country I guess.
yeah itâs an heritage from my guitar playing, and especially playing with overdrive which makes absolutly mandatory to mute every string that is not played at a given time. it became some kind of reflex, itâs very natural for me and itâs fully integrated in my playing : I always mute everything except the string(s) Iâm playing. the thumb position allow me to mute the E string. some players will use the thumb to fret on the E string but I donât do that, itâs only for muting. also I always change my thumb position while playing : if I need more amplitude on my fingers I bring the thumb in the more accademic position
My 3 SS: I started with a Squire Jaguar, added a Gretsch Jr Jet and most recently got a Sterling Stingray. Love the Jag, I had the stock pickups swapped out for EMG Geezers and then added flats. Also love my new Stingray with rounds, so it looks like the Gretsch is seeing less love lately!
First time posting a cover, so please be gentle. Not sure if this will get blocked on youtube. Probably could have done a better job with a few more takesâŚ
Also, just recording video and sound on iphone, with the song playing from youtube on ipad through my bass amp, along with the bass https://youtu.be/wI0ON8jSIyk
Hi @Jack667,
Nice job, you have nailed all the fret positions for the song.
You nailed the triple on 5th fret A on the E string, just a few timing issues with the rest.
At least you are prepared to put yourself out there.
You should be proud of your effort, I am
Cheers Brian
That sentiment usually isnât going to change after another few takes so again - good job on putting something out here.
Long version in this thread: YouTube Copyright Issues
Short version: You could try vimeo.com instead as it is less likely that your covers are taken down
Nice job @Jack667
Looked at the tab for that briefly and it ainât easy.
Stupid question⌠how do you plug your iPad and bass into your amp? I havenât got a clue and would like to have a go
Thx Jerry and Mac. My MarkBass amp has a headphone-jack style aux input, so I can use a regular headphone male-male cord to patch it in. I can provide a pic if that would help.
congratulations for this first cover ! that was cool, I really like Cream and your recording configuration with the iphone and ipad plugged into the amp let hear your bass line pretty clearly
Iâve a different set up on my amp and the manual I downloaded doesnât cover anything like this facia plate! Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
