Hi everyone! My name is Alexandr Voroncov
today we will make an examination of Guano Apes Song open your eyes
so the first stack
its all equally...we will examine this in details
start with opened 4-th string E...then we are going to the 3-rd string on 2-nd stop H
C , D and E...everyting in E minor scale
you need to pay attention that it is not strait rhytm here
we are going on H a bit later after the first quota
thats the quota
its a little late...so thats why there is an effect of tearing in pieces
people using such things in alternative music often...in alternative rock...metal...realy often
train it with metronome and you will make it...i will try to play with count now
1...2...3...4...
and a little bit slower
thats it...it is not hard so if you will practice everything will be ok
well to make it even better we can make the sound deeper...make such vibrato
it is happening when we are moving the string across
just a little bit
it is realy important that your bass is tuned up...strings must be pretty low or it will be hard to do this
for the convenience you can make it with multiple fingers if your fingers are not strong enough yet
some people make it with two fingers
you can do with all four
thats it
so here we are using slap...i wont tell here how you can do this but you can watch a lesson about slap
so here goes opened 4-th string E
at the beginning it is opened and then twice soothed
the next element you need to hook on the 2-nd string on 2-nd and 3-rd stop
hammer
and together
and going back to the beginning...slap the opened 4-th string and then two soothed strikes
and we finish this on F 4-th string on 1-st stop
and together...slap...two soothed...hook on and hammer...slap...two soothed...slap
it will be hard to do this in oryginal rate for novises...there are three fast slap hits in the end
its realy hard technique
and thats the original rate
thats the main part of this stack...it is reapiting for 3 times
and the 4-th is a little bit different and playing like this
slap...two soothed...hook on and hammer
slap on 3-rd string...2-nd and 3-rd stop with hammer
hook on the 1-st opened string...then we continue on 3-rd string on 3-rd and 5th stop
and hook on opened 1-st string...thats what we got
i think you can not soothe the 1-st string
and then you need to soothe it...we are going on the beginning of this part and here you need to do this
and together
in the end of slap stack it is transition on chorus...two notes...C 3-rd stop of 3-rd string
and F# 2-nd stop of 4-th string
just like this
1 2 3 4 and here we go
chorus is the same stack that we were macking in the beginning
there one more part after the second chorus...it is some sort of bridge
it is realy simple and playing on E only...but the rhytm is not so simple
you are playing 1/8 1/8 and there is a pause for 1/8...and its going for all the way no no matter which bars there
just like this
if you are a novice u can lose the rhytm if you will play with another instruments
bass melody here is absolutely different with voice melody or guitar...but istead we get realy intresting effect
if you will train you will see that there is nothing hard in this part
so there is only left the songs ending...its playing on E only just like this
