It's easy to get lost in the mix as a bassist. To the point where it doesn't even matter if you're there or not. Ryan never gets lost in the mix. I can always recognize his style immediately.

You are so right... as a bassist we are sometimes looked at as expendable in the band or the "starter instrument" lol yeah....try Les Claypool leading all his bands and kicking ass more than any bassist ever and also Mark Sandman leading Morphine. Now it's Ryan's turn.

Ld 50 is a legendary album for bass.

In mudvayne he used double drop tunings including drop F# B(F# B F#B E) and G C (G C G C F) on his thumb basses . Soften the glare is where I believe he uses the A D double drop tuning. The warwick thumb is key to the tone as well as it's pickup position is different then most basses with them closer to the bridge helps the bass really cut through the mix. Awesome video cheers

In the first album L.D. 50 it was drop B, but the next few until self-titled album I believe it was drop C. He definitely is diverse in his tuning even during Soften the Glare. I am sure he's gone into drop C a couple of times :P

@Ex Imperio Libertas seen him live I'm pretty sure on the end of all things to come he plays double drop GC on ld 50 it's a mix of double drop F# B and B with a extra B on the bass plus on bass your hands don't go to typical chord positions simply position 1 2 3 and so on near key patterns

All of us waiting BRR-BRR-DENG BRR-BRR-DENG from you. )))

No one can slap da bass like Martinie. That dude is such a powerhouse on the bass. Definitely 1 of the best... I just bought my first Warwick about 6 months ago and it is definitely 1 badass machine.. I tell you Ryan messed up switching to Fodera.

Doin' the Mud. I can dig it :)

Soften the Glare are amazing!

Ryan was definitely for me one of my main influences when playing, showing people this aggressive tone always gave me the best results on stage, and getting people something to talk about besides the guitar or drums.

It's like using Flamenco style techniques similar to how Les Claypool uses, but Ryan Martinie has found himself his own awesome style and sound. I don't mean to compare or anything. It's been a long while since I've played, I just remember when I was getting into music in High School Les and Ryan have always put an impression on me, super talented!

Yeah I get touchy when anyone even hints to be as good as Les lol...not possible. But close. For me, it goes Les, Mark Sandman, and then Ryan. All badass.

His tuning is GCGCF, from what I can remember. 3rd and 2nd albums of Mudvayne are unplayable otherwise

Wow this is actually a rare gem video. Really well done and great job on the sound.

This technique is one I learned from a Mariache in 1990. I was happy to see it used in a much more creative way then I was taught

I really appreciate how he breaks away from always following the guitar. You just can't beat that Thumb tone; it's such a unique sound. He's the reason why I wanted one for long and now I finally have one! It's kind of a bitch to play though due to it's excessive weight and severe neck diving tendencies. But I wouldn't have it any other way. It kinda adds to its charm. Huge inspiration. I can't wait to see more of his playthroughs and damn would it be cool to see him do playthroughs of old Mudvayne songs.

If I remember correctly, his primary 4-string tuning was actually C-G-C-F. He's also a big fan of light string tension.

Yes... that's the appeal. Like Les Claypool is so insanely unique and his invention of the whamola then Mark Sandman from Morphine...Ryan's in that class. I wanna leave my job and go get my bass now...something about that instrument just hits me in a way no other instrument in the band does.

This is my favorite bass player!!! I play bass and I cover Mudvayne on bass… this video really helped me, thank you, rock on!!! 🤟🏻🫶🏻✌🏻👍🏻🤘🏻💚

This is an incredible series! I have a recommendation, you HAVE to teach us how Remco Hendriks plays (Remco's Groove Lab on the Tube). He's a god among bassists but not as known, I hope you'll do it. Cheers, have a good day!

Super cool lesson bro!!! Thank you for sharing this!!! Ryan is one of my favourite bass players! Congratulations!

Love the mud rolling through my vaynes. I dig it

There was an interview done like 20 years ago in a magazine where he spoke about the recording process of LD50 and he explained he had lots of problems in the studio related to intonation issues, etc. Anyone have this interview archived?

Ryan's bass playing is really obvious in his bass player shredded forearms

I call his technique, Snake Bite tapping

What a masterclass !! Greetings from Brazil !!

Amazing! Underrated and hardly anything on Ryan at all!

That struck note your talking about was also used by john entwistle of the who. Iam surprised that people don't talk about that technique so often. Would love to see a in depth video of John's technique

Thank you for this awesome video! Very helpful! 🙏

Finally, I found this video. I sub because only video who teaching this rare technique. I always called it the clawing technique because it looks like he clawing the strings. There only 1 Bassist close enough to what he does. That the Ox, John Whistler. He does a more flamenco style. Also there Doug Wimbish, who does a weird reverse 2 finder thumb slap pop that also kinda flamenco like. I just think those be 2 other interesting bassist to look into. Thanks for the video :D

A real bass king is a humble one. Ryan slaps so hard

In Mudvayne he had drop B (B F# B E) and drop C (C G C F or G C G C F)

So cool! ❤️🔥

He had coined this technique "The Butterfly" many years ago from what i've learned.

Simple, just, brr brr deng

Such a cool video

Thanks for this awesome video!! Right now on youtube only one single cover of the track "funky lady" from the first album of "Soften The Glare" exists, i hope one day we will see another one and your video about this awesome bassist will definitely help along that road !

Hey buddy thanks for dissecting that

Very cool and instructive 😊👍🏻

talking of bassgod talking of Ryan !! :)

This is a great video. Thank you.

Favorite bass player

I see posts about the second W. I'm from the midwest USA. Every player I've known pronounces it how it's spelled. With both w's.

Awesome vid dude... Kind of funny to find metal band where the bassist is more techical than the guitar player... 😂😂 Could you maybe do a vid on Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse or Derek Boyer Suffocation??? Think's some interrasting techicks there 🤘 Again really nice vid dude From DK 🤘🤘🤘

I was actually looking for "How to SLAP like Will Smith", but this works way better.

great content, thank you very much

I always feel like Ryan's style is the metal version of entwistle and a harder hitting form of Doug wimbish, granted doug doesnt do a lot of this type of slap, but its still kinda part of his technique as well

That alien Sound

Nice work.

I really like it

Awesome channel!

Bass from GREYHOUNDS Band is a Must..

Could you do fieldy from Korn.

I learned the bass of nothing to gein verse part and then realized I have to learn the slap tappin I m on the bench from blisters now it really setting me back I make progress then I have to heal and then when I come back to playing I have to relearn parts

Damn that shit sounds sick. I don't even play bass but I'm about to start lol shiiiitt

I've been playing bass for almost 30 years and never knew the proper pronunciation of Warwick, so everyone just calm down, Jesus. And yea, now he plays a signature Fodera. Looks nice but I don't have 12k to drop on a new instrument.

Ryan's thumb can break diamonds.

Take me out of my ignorance what does this means.

I don't want to sound condescending but I've been studying his technique for the last 5 years. I have heard that this technique is usually similar to John Entwistle from The Who (kzread.info/dash/bejne/hpt3q6Zrn5zPmNI.html). I would also argue this isn't really "slapping" even though they do produce the same dynamic and attack of a note. There are nuances. You can definitely hear when he slaps and when he switches to this _struck note_ technique. I am not sure if it's also called _the butterfly_ technique (kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqmoxNVqoa3ekZM.html). 2:28 - you are right that it is an aggressive fingerstyle. But, for Ryan, his aggressive finger still is going through the strings (kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYl40ruTlJvVcZc.html). Not Falling is a great example where during the introduction he goes *through* the string and when the verses begin he switches to a more *lighter* touch while playing. Anyways, I really like the video. These were just my extra thoughts :)

Can you do a how to slap like Fieldy from Korn?

Nice video. But Entwistle was doing the fret tapping years before and Doug Wimbish year later combined with his thumb/first and second finger flamenco style in alt tunings brought it to a different level of originality. And of course Les Claypool super original player..even influenced Geddy Lee not many can say that. ...But nice video.

Finally someone got his tuning right , as a bass player since 1988 when I was in a Jr. High Metallica cover band we covered them like we were thier kids ! As I got older and mudvayne came out aswell as korn , I was confused 😕. So I picked up a guitar magazine 😅 found his tab for dig and by 2002 I was playing dig just to practice. Anyway although I listen to limp, primus, tool etc etc ...I've never been into slap pop bass ..shitd cool but gay. You millinials want a video about bass then we need Sam lofler from chevelle. That is how I play my bass low growl with deep low tones. Now Sam is a bass player im interested in . 🎸 🤘
