Song 16 - "Come as You Are" by Nirvana

Nice one @BigAl - tuning aside, it was a cracker :guitar::fire::facepunch:. That bass has a nice tone too!

Nice to see you plugging away at the challenge. I’m still in it, but I’ve been distracted with another song and I may have bitten off more than I can chew :slightly_smiling_face:
I wonder if any of the tech savy bass buzzers could just pitch shift your song down on their DAW to fix the tuning thing?
Anyway good to see you still at it.

Like to thank @John_E again. Just finish giving candy. Yeah, I’ve been busy with other tunes too and just join Aris live practice group. But still plugging away these songs too. After returning wow sounded lot better so made another quick recording, not perfect on 1st take but sound so much better. Thanks for your good ears there @John_E .
[Take 2] Come as You Are DGCF tuning. Leaving other video up so people now we all make mistakes and only we gett better is by fixing them and playing them again.

Like to thank, @Bassdacious @Barney @RuknRole @John_E for all the kind words. Happy Halloween :jack_o_lantern: :crazy_face: you guys Rock 🪨 :guitar:.

Sounds great @BigAl !!
And still really in the groove. You made easy work of all these fast repetitive riffs. Not easy.
I haven’t been able to get this one yet.

Great job and excellent picking!
Bass was a bit high in the mix but that’s ok. Super boomy tone. Well done @akos !

Pretty sure the original was played with a pick.

Yep, and at knee height. But I’m not cool enough for that yet.

I can’t play anything that repetitive without getting lost because I start thinking about other things or falling asleep :joy:

Here’s mine.

All treble (Bridge Pickup) with VT Bass DI in SVT mode.

A little mistake at the very end (I corrected the audio) but was not redoing the whole song for a blip 3 bars from the end. Haha

Nicely done John! Love the growl you’re getting on the low notes.

Thanks. Yeah the Rick and the SVT amp mode in the VT Bass DI play nice together for sure.

This song is near to my heart. Was one of the first guitar riffs I ever learned and I gotta say I enjoy playing it on bass more.

Recorded this one a bit ago, but I did not have time to post… I’m not playing as much lately, I still lurk in the forum…

@Reo - Something seems wrong here.
Did you miss the drop tuning?
E string seems dropped properly but the other 3 don’t sound like they were dropped.
Tuning on this is DGCF

Huh?… you are correct sir, I only drop the E, I didn’t realize that… no wonder it didn’t sound right, I thought that it was the effects… I’ll have to go back and try that tuning instead
Thanks!

Alright so yesterday I quickly whip this video together, plenty of mistakes but proper tuning, certainly sounds different, duh! :crazy_face:
That’s when reading the music would have been helpful instead of just the tab, I could have also double check since I knew something was off… I am keeping that other one up also, as reference
Considering that I had not practice the song since recording it back in August, I was surprised to be able to play it whole fairly easily, blemishes granted specially at the end :woozy_face: there is progress after all

Something is now even more off with the tuning @reo. Even the low E string.
