  • Dude you are awesome! how are old are you and how long u been playing?

  • Hey kid you're really good, but do yourself a favor and ditch the warwick!!

  • @XxXxSabooxXxX

    Now why the hell would he do that? That tone is crystal-clear, it sounds awesome! Normally I'm not a big Warwick fan either, but some people can get a great sound out of them, "P-Nut" from 311 is a good example, and so is this kid.

  • I hate watching these videos. Your just too good. I've been playing a long time and is much older. I'm Jealous...

  • @Timok67 that's how I feel!!! ... but at least watching these videos makes me practice harder everyday

  • DO THAT SHIT MANE!!!!! GAT DAYUM!!!

  • u got some talent homeboy!!!!!

  • damn dude, nice

  • Very nice indeed man. Keep doin that shit.

  • hey, have you took any lessons orso, or have you trained all by yourself? (the slap bass)

  • solid shit man, great tone too.

  • TomTheArab is a terrible bassist. I heard him play and he sounds like a chump.

  • sooo funky man.. GREAT cover, just loved it

  • now willwh this is more fuckin like it pal well done

  • Dude that is Sick. I love watching you play! Thanks for posting. I hope you stick with jazz and blues, but inputs from all levels ups the creativity doesn't it.

  • Excuses! Excuses! I'm 45 and just took the bass out of the attic. Haven't played since 89! Life is too short! Go get it!

  • man i wish i was that young again and could do nothing but practice...work sucks....you play this song perfectly man...love your tone

  • How do you get that sick slaop/pop tone?

    Is it your bass, amp, or a combo of the two? I hear many bassists these days getting that nice crisp round tone and I can't seem to get the same thing... what sorta EQ do you need to set for it?

  • @giveupthepfunk A lot comes into the equation tbh, tbh one of the main factors I find with pop and slap tones is the actual bass guitar itself and strings and the action

  • @giveupthepfunk i got a similar crisp kinda slap tone outta DR marcus miller signature strings there really good and i like em

  • ur really good, but, why does it offer me to buy this song of itunes? r u miming?

    if so, still, Great Miming ;)

    if ur not them Great playing :)

  • even if you do a cover of a song its gonna show up to buy it.

    and this kid is really good he isn't miming.

    even if he is miming hes better at miming then most people are at playing haha

  • that is funky as fuck. im lovin it

  • see you on tv someday (soon)

  • This is really badass playing! When you where born, the gods of groove were smiling!

  • i cant find the music for this anywhere...i perfer no tabs but they will do, so i anyone finds anything please lemme kno. thanks.

  • This is an example of why today's music is so uncreative and depressing; instead of learning music, children play video games instead... it is refreshing to see that someone so young is dedicating himself to music. Keep up the good work.

  • im consistantly stared at for playing an actual guitar, bass, or set of drums these days...people look at me like...so...that's one of them there geetars eh? heh heh...looks like we got ourselves one of them creative types....man, its tough being a musician...

  • Good ol' school funk licks..............

    Check out Shotgun's 'Skate'

    Have a go at Clarke's 'Hot Fun' off School Days

    Brothers Johnson's 'Get the Funk Outta Ma Face'

    or

    Larry Graham on Graham Central Station's 'Now Do U Wanta Dance'

    All fairly easy licks but soooooooooo funky

  • Mark my words....This kid is going to be danderous on bass when he grows up. If he sounds like this at 15........imagine him about 6 years from now. My only complaint is that the camera is too closee...he needs to move it back so we can see the entire neck of the bass.

  • th ipod!!! be careful! : P

  • coool

  • did u use a tab and if you did can you tell which site

  • omg u fuckin rock lil dude

  • nicely done

  • I think you should give your college funds to charity... then youre parents will feel bad and buy you a Fodera? Just an option.

  • Little man you listen to all the stuff That I would tell any bass player to listen too,I'm a drummer,do your parents turn you on to the style of Music that you listen to.Because your funky,I'm a big Level 42 fan too.

  • Les Claypool plays this while playing One Better, look for Wakarusa Les Claypool Solo yule see what im saying, oh man u got mad skillz
