Bass Teacher REACTS | Alex Webster RIPPING Tech Death Riffs! Conquering Dystopia "Kufra at Dusk"

I remember seeing his 3 finger picking style lesson for the first time a couple of years ago, it blew my my mind and still does to this day.

Websters fingers, on both hands, have always reminded me of a spider, frantically weaving a thread with extreme precision. 🙌

Thanx for doing Alex Webster, the man is a death metal beast on bass 🤘

Love watching Alex and always wonder how many kids heard that solo on HSF and decided to play the low end. CC vids can be tough to find, but there are some Blotted Science vids with Alex out there. Awesome vid, sir!

If my memory serves me, he began with a Squire P-Bass, then went to Ibanez like most people did for a while, then Modulus Graphite instruments, then Spector. The right hand angling might have been something he picked up from Stanley Clarke, because that's something Stanley has always done. Alex is one of the few legit metal bass gods out there, for sure! One of the coolest, friendliest, and most mellow dudes you'll ever meet, too.

that moment at 9:23 was the most humble, yet most badass flex. Definitely can't play that fast yet

You're doing a fantastic job, brother... instructive, entertaining, and extremely well edited... I am really enjoying your content...keep it up!

Alex is my favorite death metal bass player. Cannibal Corpse is one of the best Death metal bands around. They are one of the most consistent around as well.

Everytime I watch this playthrough, I get goosebumps , such a great playing

Went searching on Bandcamp. Turns out this is an instrumental band, and I fell in love! Thank you!

Great reaction video. I would like to see these guys put out another album. I am a long-time Spector and Warwick player. Love both brands

He gets to shred throughout every song. I recall a live video where his left hand looks like a Batio trick.

Alex Webster is my all time favorite bass player! If you really want to hear Alex's bass chops put to the test you should check out his other side project Blotted Science. I have been fortunate enough to meet Alex on several occasions and he is hands down the most humble person you'll ever meet. I even brought my own bass to a Cannibal Corpse show hours before the show started and asked him to sign it and he did and played it a little too (not on stage just unplugged in the parking lot.) So now my bass has been signed/played by my bass hero. That was in 2022 and I'm still riding that high.

Good to see people remembering that project. 👍

This guys such an amazing bassist. He was the reason I really wanted to play bass and still do to this day but damn I cannot catch up 😂😂 I love how hard yet precise he plays

Good to see a parkway alum I’ve been seeing you play for years your phenomenal talent is out of this world

Nice breakdown of the 3 finger technique he was implementing... i was trying to figure that out most!

I've noticed the turning/rotating of the plucking wrist in my own playing since my first year, used to be very pronounced when i had my thumb stuck on the pickup or the low E/B string and really digged in. Gives a very solid anchor point for the thumb and allows the entire arm to dig in, which for me was a huge part of the growly sound. Always enjoyable to see alex' fingers walk like a spider, i can remember it being one of my motivators when i started learning to play bass using fingers. Enjoyable video, talking about the music rather than theory which a lot of channels seem to do. Also, i think the 35" scale helps with that 'spector emg' sound, schecter 35" 5 strings have that too to my ears

You're the best! I love to watch someone who knows his "thing"!

You're the man, Mark. Kne of my favorite bass players to try emulate. Would love to see some videos of your work on the V album or Linus Klausenitzers bass.
