Bass Cover

Derezzed by Daft Punk

Here’s my cover of Derezzed by Daft Punk from the Tron: Legacy movie soundtrack.

So, fun to learn this tune but it did take me a long time to get all the nuances down. Sure it’s barely 2 minutes long and the whole thing is mostly the Eb min 7 arpeggio riff but it took me several takes to nail it almost perfectly. I say almost because there’s 1 note that I did have to edit in post but I’ll leave that up to you to pick out.

Thanks again for checking the vids out. Please subscribe and share the vids and you can visit my website at https://www.louisochoa.com to check out other vids and see what other projects I’m involved in. One thing I’ll be working on in the coming weeks is to upload all my transcriptions into notation and tablature format and hopefully accompany those with tutorial vids. You can support this channel (and future uploads) by subscribing to my youtube channel at youtube.com/bassjutsu and sharing the videos or by making donations here.





Bass Cover

Safe and Sound by Justice

As much as I wanted to upload this video up on Youtube, i kept getting copyright claims that blocked the video from being viewed publicly. One option was to upload the video without the original track and just have the bass track but it just felt weird watching a 3+ minute video of just bass (I’ll upload the isolated bass track up on soundcloud along with the transcription as soon as I get that cleaned up and with tabs).

So it’s been a while since I posted up a bass cover but leave it to Justice to light a fire under my ass to get this cover up.

At first, this bass line is deceptively simple but it took me a while to really get all the nuances of the slap patterns which just so happens to change almost every time the theme comes around. It’s sooooo good tho. It took me forever to nail this bass line but I never got tired of playing it.

You can check out the rest of the videos I have in the new “Video” section of the site. I have a backlog of bass covers that I’ve transcribed but still yet to record so I’ll do my best to be a bit more consistent with these.

Gotta keep practicing!

PS. Just a little info on the recording process, this was recorded direct through an apogee duet then I applied EQ, compression, and volume automation in Logic.

Goodbye old website, you shan’t be missed.

So, not so easy but more intuitive than messing with Dreamweaver. I upgraded the basic Destin Theme and did what I could with my limited knowledge of wordpress and I’m pretty pleased with the results. I still gotta mess around with what’s here and I’ll prolly shoot an email (or seven) to the good folks at Bavatosan so I’ll more or less get closer to my ideal site.

It couldn’t be any worse than what I had before (not that I thought it was bad, it was just too cumbersome to update)

Here’s what it used to look like…

Goodbye old friend, you shan't be missed

Man, this was a pain to update. I used Dreamweaver and just the thought of opening up the program turned me off on posting anything new.
