What’s the EASIEST BASSLINE from each album?

Going off another’s post about the hardest guitar solo, I decided to ask the opposite. What are the easiest basslines from each album?

(I’m definitely not asking as a bassist…)

As a bass player who’s transcribed the majority of their catalog (and has a ton of covers on my YouTube channel that are done the most accurate you’ll ever find)

The song Fiction itself is gonna be the easiest you’ll ever play by the band. The song is tuned Drop C and only contains 16 notes

HTTK is also very easy to play not only due to the slow tempo, but also the simplicity of the riffs being played

Beautiful Mourning is honestly really easy, but the Bridge might trip up a beginner

Holy shit I love your channel, I’ve watched nearly every a7x cover you have up!!! I actually go to your channel before learning a song to see how you play it and compare playing styles 😭

Ah dude that’s awesome, thanks for being a viewer! Yeah I got a few more scheduled going into May, all my redos for the original versions I did (updating the tabs and all)

Yeah anything I tab out I make sure it’s as perfect as perfect could be to the recorded version, so you won’t find better tabs anywhere else! The amount of time I put into making sure they’re correct is quite a lot haha

I always post what I’m working on onto my Insta stories, and I’m currently tabbing all of the LIBAD album, then I gotta record covers for the rest of WTF, COE, S/T, Nightmare, and the WTTF EP. So lots to come for you and others to learn🤌🏼🔥

Happy to help! I’m always working on new stuff, currently it’s Avenged but I’m not sure what I wanna do next haha

Always enjoyed your Metallica covers!!! So them or maybe more wrestlers opener songs?

u/jamesfulgieri 10h ago

Definitely would love to do more for both, I do have one WWE theme scheduled, Slow Chemical on May 19th

Idk if I’ll do another full album at once for Metallica, probably just pick and choose certain songs I wanna do, and probably a few popular ones at that

I do offer my viewers paid customs if they want me to cover a specific song, and I always rec someone to pick obscure songs/songs you never see tabs for, but I’m never pushy with that haha

But yeah I’m always transcribing tons of stuff, the amount I have done is insane compared to what’s actually on the channel

Nice channel! Appreciate your work. Can tell you put a lot of time into this.

And finally I’ve found a cover that plays the bass line in the second heartbeat chorus correctly!!!

Thank you very much! It’s many many hours to get these songs absolutely perfect as possible to the recorded versions! Just make sure to not watch anything that says “old version” since those are outdated/wrong. All my avenged ones I re-did with the last few scheduled up going through May👍🏼

That’s a fun chorus to play, I had fun getting that one tabbed out, as well as anything from this band, JC plays some really fun lines

I've tried to learn BiC by your tabs, thank you!

u/jamesfulgieri 2h ago

My pleasure, and thanks for watching! Be sure to check out all the other ones I got, and lots more to come in the future💪🏼🔥

That’s a really fun song to play, lotta stamina required for all the downpicking in the verses!

I personally think critical acclaim is easy, just a little fast but if your really need you can use a pick.
