More about this title

About the Artist: Korn

Korn emerged from Bakersfield, California in the mid-1990s as pioneers of nu metal, blending heavy guitar riffs with hip-hop rhythms and electronic elements. The band's innovative approach to heavy music fundamentally shaped the metal landscape of the late 1990s and 2000s, influencing countless musicians across multiple genres.

From a bass education perspective, Korn's work with bassist Fieldy offers compelling case studies in unconventional technique, rhythmic precision, and the role of bass as a foundational element in polyrhythmic contexts. Their catalog demonstrates how bass can drive melodic content and rhythmic momentum simultaneously.

Why we love this

B.B.K. gives students access to contemporary heavy music that demands rhythmic accuracy and precise technique under demanding conditions. The track's intensity and complexity appeal to players who want to work with music that resonates with their listening habits while building serious technical skills.

What to expect

B.B.K. strikes hard and relentless, combining aggressive rhythmic patterns with the kind of groove that locks the song into place. The bass work pulses through a heavy landscape, serving both as anchor and driving force.

Who it's for

Bass players in grades 9-12 and serious young adult students who want to work with contemporary metal music and develop technical facility on demanding material. This TAB works best for players already comfortable with standard notation and looking to expand their repertoire beyond traditional classical or jazz contexts.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into the pocket early by counting carefully through any polyrhythmic sections; precision here is more important than speed.
  • Study the recorded version to capture the tone and dynamic contrast between quieter passages and heavier sections.
  • Mark your fret positions clearly on the TAB before rehearsal, especially through any rapid transitions or position shifts.
  • Focus on consistent muting technique to achieve the articulation and percussive attack the original recording demonstrates.

How to use it

Feature this as a solo or recital piece for students interested in metal and contemporary music, or use it as a supplementary technical study alongside more traditional repertoire. It works particularly well as motivation for players who connect with modern heavy music and want to develop their abilities within a context that excites them.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and executing complex rhythmic figures in TAB format
  • Maintaining tight synchronization across polyrhythmic patterns
  • Controlling dynamics and tone within high-intensity passages
  • Executing precise muting and articulation techniques
  • Building stamina and consistency during extended technical sections
