Sinister Minister

[Richi]

What a groovey song.

I've started learning it. Haven't run into any troubles yet...but that's because I've only learned the first few bars:p

Anyone here learned it? Got any tips/pointers/words of warning?

It's becoming clear that, no matter how much technique is packed into a song, Vic still manages to keep a solid groove going. I have a feeling that'll be the most challenging part of this learning process.

[PaulSimonon]

Yeah, the song itself is easy as hell.

The solo is a challenge though... I never learnt it because I'm lazy.

[Richi]

The solo will be fun. Pretty much just sounds like double thumbing. A lot of double thumbing. May pose some problems since my double thumbing's quite...lacking, we'll say:)

[o b s]

i learnt parts, fun song to learn and play

[Brandon_S]

I love that song..so much <3.

[Richi]

It is one of the grooviest songs I've heard. That and Yingin' and Yangin'. Think Sinister takes second place though.

[Mr. Pickle]

Probably my favorite song by them.

[Left Shoe]

that opening sixlet just does not work with my hands

[EADG]

Yeah, the song itself is easy as hell.





:rolleyes:


Recordings plz

[EADG]

that opening sixlet just does not work with my hands



Agreed, I could never figured out exactly how he does it.

[Left Shoe]

i have his transcription of it, its very counter intuitive and unlike ny other slapped 6let ive seen him doing

[peeted]

its a fun song to jam along too, id be intesrted in seeing a transcription because i cant quite work out the solo or the lil fill at the beggining (is that what everyone means by 6let?).

[o b s]

:rolleyes:


Recordings plz

the octave slapping and double popping thing up a minor scale at the start IS pretty easy

[Richi]

The start of it maybe. It does get progressively harder though.

[PaulSimonon]

:rolleyes:


Recordings plz

Seeing as I don't use other people's fills or solos, that would honestly be pointless... Take those out, and it's a pretty bare-bones song.

Everyone here knows I'm not a great player anyways, so I don't see a reason to call me out on something lame like this. Grow up.

AKA you're full of ****


Unless I hear a tight recording, it's not "easy as hell".


The first 45 seconds maybe aren't too hard I admit, but I'd like to hear you play the 16th note double-thumbing part. And no, that's not part of the solo.

[EADG]

i have his transcription of it, its very counter intuitive and unlike ny other slapped 6let ive seen him doing


What is the pattern exactly?

[Dyslexic Magician]

id never consider sinister minister 'easy as hell'

just my 2 cents.

[PaulSimonon]

*shrugs* I'm full of **** then, get over it. I really don't care.

You can never leave anything alone can you? Do you seriously have to drag everything you find to be in "disagreement" with your little opinion out to prove to some teenagers on the internet that you're smart? Or what? I'm tired of you pulling this EVERY SINGLE TIME someone goes against you. Please, just stop.

Seriously, learn to let things go.

so no recording?

I'm a teenager too, actually. I'm 17.


I'm not trying to prove I'm smart at all, I don't know where you get that from. I discuss things with people. Isn't that the point of this forum? To discuss? If I have an objective opinion I express it, just like everyone else does. I also don't see what makes my opinion "little". Do you have to put my opinion down because you personally don't agree with it? That's pretty lame.


If you don't like the way I discuss things, you can block my posts. I don't really care if you do, it's no loss to me. I don't plan on stopping. If you don't like it, take your own advice and learn to let it go.


The only things we don't like about each other are the things we see in ourselves anyway, right?

[EADG]

so no recording?



Turns out the whole thing was a gimmick.

[Left Shoe]

What is the pattern exactly?

notes = D Eb G C G Eb
fingering =
(excuse my minimalist tab)
D0 A6 D5 G5 D5 A6

[EADG]

notes = D Eb G C G Eb
fingering =
(excuse my minimalist tab)
D0 A6 D5 G5 D5 A6

I have a full Powertab with all of the notes actually, what I wanted to know was what the right hand does.


He does have performance notes in the book, right? Does it say anything about that?

[Left Shoe]

T H P P T H im pretty sure

[EADG]

T H P P T H im pretty sure

Are you sure the first is an open string?

It seems to me like it would make more sense for it to be fretted

[Left Shoe]

i said counter intuitive didnt i, wooten has it down as an open.

in recent news, ive discovered i like you as a person now, you take a very "no ****" attitude torwards bass, which is kind of where ive gone lately. you get better much faster

[Spaceman Spiff]

Phil's got it right.

I don't understand exactly what you mean by "counter intuitive".



I agree with that. I actually take that attitude towards life in general, or at least I try to.



Are you saying you didn't like me as a person before? :(

If so I deserved it, sorry I used to be a dick to you. I just misunderstood you I guess.

[EADG]

Phil's got it right.


About what?

i didnt hate you, i just thought you were an annoying testicle eyed dick head.

counter intuitive as in what you woudlnt expect

[EADG]

I can admit I was being pretty annoying. But I maintain that I am NOT testicle-eyed.


Alright, that's what I figured.

[Left Shoe]

i think it mightve been how you kept asking for recordings, i dont post recordings. its not in my nature, god willed it not to be so, he told me

[EADG]

Did I? I don't remember, if I did.


Unless you are referencing how I asked for a recording earlier in the thread, which you probably are. If so, I will feel like an idiot.

I'll shut up now

[Spaceman Spiff]

About what?

About how to play that opening part. You asked if he was sure, I figured I'd back him up. I do have the tab book right in front of me, so I've got the answers.

[Left Shoe]

nah im not, i said i could play MAMBG< you were like "omg nuh uh" and i was like "yuh huh, no recordings though, its not christmas" and you didnt beleive me, though about ten mxers on here have seen me do it in person. then i was like "omg i can play you cant hold no groove" and you were like "its ****ing christmas hit me with a recording" "no"

[EADG]

I seriously think you have me confused with someone else. I have no recollection of that happening whatsoever.

You've got questions?


We've got answers.




Anyone else remember Radio Shack?

[Left Shoe]

well, it wasnt those exact words. but you get the gist of it

[BenJammin]

It's still Radio Shack to me. None of this "The Source" crap.

[Brandon_S]

Radio Shack ftw.

Ive been meaning to take on a wooten peice,but its between "you cant hold no groove" or Sinister Minister? I Think I should just buy a Transcribed wooten book.

[Jaded]

If I have an objective opinion...
You mean subjective?

[EADG]

You mean subjective?


Yes, I dont know why I said objective.


I've been studying for my english exam. Too many damn terms.

Why not learn them both?

[Left Shoe]

he probably wont have time to get both of them up for performance standards before this audition, if you are planning on using them for an audition. if not yeah learn em both at the same time

[Matt Till]

Crappy song.

[moghes69]

It's still Radio Shack to me. None of this "The Source" crap.

as far as i know it still is Radio Shack... if not, i have no idea how i'm working at one.

Well he lives in Canada, they are special up there. Eh.

Brandon is in grade... 10? I think. Maybe 9? Definetely has plenty of time before his audition.

[EADG]

Pointless post.

[Matt Till]

Pointless post.

It was not "pointless."

I was letting everybody know my opinion of the song with the intention of the threadstarter suddenly coming to his senses, realizing he agress with me, and changing his plans altogether.

Everything and nothing has a point, darling.

TS obviously likes the song, and enough to learn it at that. If you read the first post, it's pretty evident.

I don't think the opinion of an anonymous person on the internet could influence his opinion enough to make him suddenly dislike the song- but that's just me.

Why would you want him to stop learning the song anyway? Whether he learns it or not, or likes the song or not has absolutely nothing to do with you.

[Left Shoe]

ah, didnt catch that, my bad

Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna learn the song. Record it and force you to watch it. So there:p

I kid I kid. But I will be making videos of my progress in learning this song. Once it gets good enough, it'll be posted.

On a slightly related topic, I just listened to A Show of Hands...is that thing even possible on one bass? Almost sounds like it is then you really listen to the notes that are played and...well...:amaze:

[Left Shoe]

yeah its doable, ill learn it and force you to watch it

[Richi]

Oh alright, since you're twisting my arm.

[BassVirtuoso]

Pointless post.

Would a post used to point out the pointlessness of a pointless post also be pointless since it's point is only to show pointlessness which isn't the point of the thread?

Point taken, but by that logic, that would make your post pointless as well since it's only point is to point out the postlessness of a pointless point that was originally posted to point out the pointlessness of the original pointless post.

Oh no! haha I wasent planning on learning them for my audition peices,although "You cant hold no groove" is really tempting for me. Im just going to go ahead and by a wooten book,ive wanted to learn some of his stuff to jam on with people for a while. Have you seen the clip on youtube with the Alto Sax,Drummer and Bass Player playing you cant hold no groove? A few friends of mine and me are thinking of doing that for the school talent show.
