I can't believe im doing this... but here's my shitty cover of sparks, i recorded it yesterday, the same day i learnt the bassline, the background music is off-synch and i did some little mistakes, in a few words: it sucks

 

Noooooooo, it's very good! Relaxed and easy ^^

You know how I feel about bass and how I feel about Coldplay so you do the math :wideeyed:

I love this song, and you did a great cover, this is very chilllll to listen to~

It's nice man. Especially for just picking it up today! I like it

thanks guys, it means a lot to me!! wish i had a better camera ahahah

Yeah man. Speaking for myself, I don't give compliments for anything musically related unless I mean it. This is good work. Keep it up man. Hope you post some more bass videos so I can learn something I'm just picking it up and even if there is an occasional timing issue, your playing is good my friend. Thanks for posting.

that means a lot to me, i have really really short fingers which makes everything harden than it should be, this song was really easy to learn, learnt it in 5 minutes and its not difficult to play

It's a great cover! Especially after just learning it!

 

You wrote that you have short fingers and still try to play with only two fingers on your left hand (index and ring-finger tend to float a lot).

When you go from the Db(fret 9 on E) to the Db(fret 11 on D) and then to Eb (fret 13 on D) you could keep your index at the Db(9th) while you play the Eb with your middle-finger and the high Eb with your pinky. This way it's less stressful for your fingers.

Also try to learn some scales with correct hand positioning. This will teach you to use your pinky and other fingers in a correct, comfortable and a beneficial way.

Coincidentally Sparks has my favorite bass line of any Coldplay song. Love your cover too, Johny. :)

I'll try! i still have to learn how to use my pinky in a correct way, the problem is that when i use my pinky i don't have a lot of strenght in it so the sound the comes off when i play with the pinky is quite shit ahahaha

 

thanks a lot!
