peteb Posted January 25, 2010 Share 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....

Doddy Posted January 26, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 28, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted January 28, 2010 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepurpleblob Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
