Glassjaw - The Gillette Cavalcade of Sports Bass cover

Worship and Tribute by Glassjaw is a classic, and it deserves to represented in its entirety so HERE WE GO

It is damn near IMPOSSIBLE to figure out all these bass parts strictly from listening to the album. I'm eternally grateful that this video was uploaded to youtube by ‪@blenfz‬

To figure out the parts, I primarily referenced the video of the isolated drum and bass parts, and if I couldn't figure something out, I referenced the song on the album and put something together that I thought sounded best. That being said, let me know if you have a different interpretation/correction.

The bass is a 1970s Ibanez Silver Series, tuning is DADG

SONG NOTES -

I feel like I say this every time I upload a cover but this may legitimately be my favorite Glassjaw song to play on bass. It's a great melodic line all throughout the song. It's complex enough but still makes sense. Also of course I have to comment on the bridge: incredible. Not only is the "race" part of it so fun, but the hemiola bass part afterward with the drums is undeniably heavy.

I'm noticing now that I missed the harmonic going into the chorus, but oh well. There's a video of Justin Beck covering this from not too long ago so the parts are pretty clear. Just good stuff and a great one to learn.
