Remi Zik: Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” Playalong

Sometimes you find a video on YouTube that reminds you how much you need to practice, and bassist Remi Zik has raised the bar with this virtuosic rendition of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”.

With extreme attention to detail, Zik nails the tune’s bass line. We can only imagine he worked up a sweat on this one.

“Not an easy song! But after a week of work, here it is,” he writes, adding that his bass is tuned B-D-A-D. Tab is available.

  1. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
    amazing!

  2. Your technique and musical vision are genius and your execution.. flawless. Enjoy the well earned stardom sir.

  3. I try so hard, and then I see this: Remi makes it look so damned easy…I don’t know whether to shed more…or just give up and go back to selling shoes…thanks a bunch, Remi!

  4. haha I think he is a genius…

  5. Take your bass smash it over your head

  6. I want my 5 minutes back

  7. Understated! The fill at 1:49 is outstanding!

  8. Jokes aside: his time is fantastic. I don’t know too many players who can actually do this, for this long, without rushing, dragging, or inserting slight “hiccups”. The fact that he keeps doing things with his left hand is funny; yes, but it takes a great clock to do that without making the right hand suffer. The best part about this is that it’s actually quite impressive.

  9. hey! thanks for sharing my video :) I’m glad to see people enjoying it!
    Seth Horan, thanks for the compliment ;).

  10. And I do know this guy! He’s for real ;-).

  11. great chord changes

  12. How does his fingers move that way?! Is he human?!

  13. What phone do you use for this tone?

  14. I know his android password!

  15. I really like how you played the bridge and pre-chorus

  16. i can tell he practiced this a lot, the fingerings are very challenging

  17. That bass has amazing tone !! Great job man. I need to slow this song down to learn it, too much going on ;)

  18. Looks just like my P-bass!

  19. elegant, superbly, If not sublimely stated. a blanket statement about the oxymoron “rap music” which is by any definition a conflict of terms. well done!!

  20. This is extremely funny

  21. Inspirational..!
    and 3:09… just… wow!!! : o

  22. owww yeah :v :v

  23. Guys… I think we need to focus more on the bass and its true role in music. These crazy technical solos like Remi did there are amazing of course, but there is a limit. I see lot of running around the fretboard, but no heart in it…. just saying….
