ARPEGGIO BASS SLAPPING

[tony57286]

The next Stuart Hamm

[bigwhtpony]

Stanley Clark and Jaco Pastorius would give you a standing O. Excellent style and technique. I'm gonna practive those moves and try and keep up with you! :)

[ubersmk3du]

wow man.

[EnricoHendro19]

awesome....you're really a great bass player...do you have some instructional videos or something??

[dedbass]

@EnricoHendro19 Thanks, I'll message you my 2 instructional vids!

[BER2ERKER]

you must have to have a lot of pinky strength to play with it on a bass like that. bad enough on guitar to do it.

[Rathalos887]

Holy sheet.

[Carthsgtr]

It's a shame the recordings so shitty bro as that playing is fucking sick.

[gamlman]

there is no way a white man can play bass this good.

[givemeajackson]

@gamlman cannibalisticzombie. that guy is a monster

[givemeajackson]

@gamlman search for CannibalisticZombie's viraemia cover...

[meeshmovies]

@gamlman bitch please.. FLEA

[RONYSLA]

wath de cap`s you use?

[Kierstinjade123]

1:13. i was all --> o:

[nivineakadeath]

teach me :(

[nivineakadeath]

dude do u have anything more recent??? if u were that good 3 years ago, i'd love to see u now!!

[Metalflamme]

Awsomne! Did you wright this?

[dedbass]

@Metalflamme Yes.

[Metalflamme]

@dedbass You ever think about recording an album?

[dedbass]

@Metalflamme Yeah, but I am in a band at the moment, and that sucks up a lot of my time and money. Hopefully I can make a solo bass album, someday!

[oml1]

@dedbass just record and arrange them when you buy a sound card.

I will mix- master your album for free.

[kirill86700]

@dedbass what's the bass?)

[kirill86700]

@dedbass your doublethumbing and tapping is very good.

[kirill86700]

@kirill86700 in what band do you play? and what style?

[carson987]

youre too awesome

[69erthx1138]

Do you play guitar too? Do you find that the 24th fret gives you enough range to avoid going to an ER bass?

[dedbass]

@69erthx1138 No, I just play bass. It gives you enough range to play in a band, but I now have a six string bass, which works great for playing solo bass..

[bergAgreb]

How long have you been playing?

[dedbass]

@bergAgreb 14 years.

[gtoddv]

Are you bringing your thumb to rest on the string below the one you tap? It almost looks like you are tapping across the string as opposed to attacking only from the top.

[dedbass]

@gtoddv I am resting my thumb on the fretboard.Then I alternate right hand tap pull offs, going from middle finger to index.

[Midnightpitbull2]

damn it, just when i think i'm starting to become a decent bass player, i see a video like this, back to practicing...

[dedbass]

@omnipitantlyoriginal The bass is an Ibanez Srx-400. I like the Brothers Johnson a lot. They have some of the funkiest basslines I've ever heard. This is one of my older vids. I hadn't heard of The Brothers Johnson util recently. I am definitely trying to learn some of their funk techniques!

[8BitOwns]

@dedbass i have the srx -430, i like your choice sir xD

[bentpolski]

What Bass and Amp are you using? Great playing and sound.

[dedbass]

@bentpolski Thanks, the bass is an Ibanez Srx-400 and the amp is a David Eden Metro.

[VanDam93]

i just dont get the tapping line from1:25 to 1:40 can you explain me how your doing that i tried now half an hour and dont get it lol

[dedbass]

@VanDam93 I am tapping and picking with my right hand. After I tap I immediately pick up.

[joedag90]

YOU NEED MORE VIEWS!!!

[nutboy56]

From 20 seconds on was a giant jizz for me and an eargasm!

[maulingunow]

I feel like I'm so horrible looking at all these videos on youtube, but I have only been playing for a year, and my friends think I'm good :D

[vaderraider666]

[James57433]

Bass is as gd as guitar different in gd ways

[MandoBruh]

OMG. You're fucking sick on that bass! TEACH ME!!!!!!!!!!

[ipguitar]

I think it's hilarious that you look bored! haha

This is just by far the craziest bass playing anywhere

[moiUnenlagia]

This is ace. Pure awesomeness, you rox !

[Anuku]

Man, you've got some bad ass skills. Much, much respect to you. You're just as good as Gianni Serino. Pro stuff here, can't wait to hear some more.

[dcmzbadass]

[dedbass]

@lantyboy thanks for the kind words! I am currently in a Thrash/Groove band called Deadlands.

[mrmonkey14]

[Binhomil]

[richie1303]

the bit from 18 seconds is sickkk :) really liek that :)

[joshbfat]

Your right hand looks really relaxed, and you dont pop the D string much

Love the tapping riffs from 1:25

[Ahar0n1]

Why always the guys ho know how to slap, make it look like a soft touch...

[BoogerBearHair]

you are really good man.. Great work! Thanks for the inspiration......

[lolatmyaccounts]

how long have you played for???

[dedbass]

@lolatmyaccounts 12 years.

[James57433]

Woah u r better dan me and I play guitar!!!!

[Feltrider001]

@James57433 are you implying guitarists are generally better than bassists....?

[ZombieBogart]

1:24-1:38. Sick tapping

[peletonkambing]

Nice man really good, I should learn how to slap properly.

[HappyHippieKid]

I like how a lot of bassists look like thugs or tough guys, i dont tho =/

[charsiuyucky]

Woah sickkkkkk wats that thing where you like whipe the strings called

[dedbass]

I dont know if that technique has an actual name, but I call it an index slide.

[jtmband62269]

@dedbass i use the same technique i just call it sweeping. similar to sweeping on guitar and awesomely fun

[djtazzle]

u mean the sweep?

[zzzhuh]

@charsiuyucky for guitar it's called sweep picking i would say it's called sweep fingering ha

[6disco6stu6]

you just blew my fucking mind man

[Ismaelmaly]

Awesome play men!!!! 5 for you :D

[gabrielrrockero]

eso es una musculosa??????????

[ruaridouglas]

INNNSSSAAAANNNNEEE! Nice dude!

[CodeNashor]

cool guy + cool look + cool clothes + cool bass playing = cool video ;)!! nice tunes and all!!

[pinneappl]

youve got skills man seriously..... but honestly I prefer more melodical stuff ( which doesen't mean easier by the way) than the stuff you tend to play...

but still .................RESPECT

[DaionBass]

I like the move at 1:20...simple (after learning, and practicing), but sweet!

Good job.

[geeksterz]

for the tapping part around 1:40 your doing triad arpeggios right? c-e-g?

[asmiranda69]

you'r playing like monster.....

make a child scary.....

but ican't hear you playing THE MUSIC.....

[roux44]

thats really nice but can i ask you if you could like send me the tab of the intro (main slap riff) its really nice but i cant see all what you do with your hands thx=)

great work

[dedbass]

Message me your e-mail address and I'll send you the tab for the intro.

[NyMKalaHi]

Do you tab out all your stuff?

[dedbass]

No, it takes to long. I have 2 of my tabs posted on my Myspace page. But I usually tab a riff out for someone if they ask.

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

dude you are awesome

[lacerta5]

May I ask you how did you learn to play like this?

[dedbass]

By learning techniques from my favorite players, and then combining them all together. Victor Wooten and Billy Sheehan video's helped me learn quite a few different techniques.

[MrGuitarshredder1234]

dang bra. you tear that thing apart. way chill

[yairoka]

I don't really like the fast solos you're always playing... obviously they are hard but it sounds more like a factory xD (no offense, that was more like a joke)

but you're a great player man!

peace =p

[lowfreq65]

is that a dean markley bass?

[dedbass]

No, its an Ibanez Srx-400. They dont make them anymore.

[BladerDark]

nice nice very nice!! your tapp it's great how many years yo are a bass player?

[dedbass]

Thanks for the great comment. 10 years.

[Lukashenko3]

KWL shit!

[efoosh]

everyone of ur videos are fantastic

[dedbass]

Thanks for the great comment and taking the time to watch all of the videos. I appreciate it!

[Neverblink6]

Incredibly unique style. Seeing a bassist like you is an inspiration. Excellent technique, and a very original sound. Thanks for sharing this with the world. =)

[dedbass]

Thanks for the kind words, I am very grateful.

[lowfreq65]

are you the dude from Limp Bizkit?

[BentheMagus]

This dude has talent, so no.

[karakanas37]

amazing..you got some great licks there

[CJ11409]

damn bro...great playing, i love your approach on how you play...very subtle...you dont struggle like all those other dudes out there...great job brotha!

[Colisholi]

1:25 made me drool...

[WyvernRuiner]

Dope shit bro, sounds GOOD

[TheOmegaHG]

Hey man, how many fingers do you use? It looks like three, but I am working on doing taps, I do a lot of fast sweeps like you. I watched your other vids,  and your style is what I have been going for. But I haven't focused on taps and slaps enough. So now I am starting on that, any tips?

[dedbass]

Thanks for the great comment! I am using 3 fingers. I am still relatively new to slapping. Its just one of those things that takes time. I think if you learn about slapping muted notes, it will help you out a lot. Tapping takes awhile to develop as well. Placing your middle finger over your index finger for extra strength and tap scales all over the neck.

[DESMYTTER]

Icredible ! Great and so strange music ! Excellent video !

[dedbass]

Thank you very much. I enjoy making strange music.

[DESMYTTER]

Yes, I want explain to you "strange" : it makes me feel that Miles Davies said "A melody in a melody". It's not easy to compose this kind of music. That's great ! Alain

[K3VIN552]

Really great playing, you should make a solo album, or solo project with simple little drum beats and only bass just like this song.....

And I really like that you respond to nearly all of the people that write comments....I find you actually pay attention to what people think.

[dedbass]

Thanks for the great comment. Thats a great idea. I've always wanted to make a solo album. I need to get new pickups or a new bass first. I do listen to peoples suggestions and its helped my playing a lot. Thanks again for the kind words.

[OllieGC]

I just want you to know, you're my idol.

[dedbass]

Thanks for the great compliment. Hearing stuff like that makes it all worth it! It also inspires me to write and practice more. Thanks again.

[IIIIFLEAIIII]

nice

[united4us]

i thought i was good at the bass my god , masta in the house here

[baleker]

[1greggg]

[dedbass]

Thanks for the kind words. Sorry for the late response. I've been playing about 10 years.

[Xiuxiu1121]

amazing!

[CannibalMortician]

[ComfortablyNumb223]

I admire the style in your playing man, some of the neatest in my opinon.

Keep it up.

[boberuskiee]

I envy your skills

[danharris86]

What bass is that you are playing?

[dedbass]

ITS AN IBANEZ SRX-400....

[funkeejack]

sick skills

[myspacceer]

i liked how you popped as the snare drum came

[dirods]

I liked a lot! learned new things this video!

[thegr8mikedowns]

Really cool bass groove. I like the how it includes pop/slap, sweeps, and tapping for a versatile style.

[squakmaster]

tight!!! i love the groove jam. the sweeping is impressive but somewhat pointless. get that heavy slap jam on a loop and kill on top of it.

[clarkshapedbox]

this guy RULES

[fuckstick00028]

eh...fairly decent....boring though

[elrolling07]

very imppresibe man!

[desolateroom]

[Mixtrew]

Very nice song! =D

[imnotjohn45]

if you were wrecking the bass like you are here in front of me and peeing on my shoes at the same time, id probably be okay with it.

[nightsm0ker]
