hey little boy, want some candy

That's just mean to be playin' all that bass; just a HUGE and complex tone, complete control of the instrument, and a thorough articulation of harmony. I mean, to play with such certitude and clarity is truly a site and sound to behold...Thanks!!!!

[korndogg524]

i love how he just barks out the orders "JOIN ME!" and "NOW STOP!"

[scottybarnhart]

Fuck!!! Ray Brown!!!! THE MASTER BASSIST......YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! i wish a lot of other young bassists paid closer attention to what he gave us......I sat three feet away from him at his last LA appearance and he was still swinging other cats into the ground.....unbelievably nice and beautiful cat to know as well.....

[gowbass]

@scottybarnhart AMEN...

[KillswitchEngage42]

@scottybarnhart You're so right. In an attempt to find my own sound, I'm studying Ray. I can dig what the modern guys are playing, but it's not swingin' like Ray.

his demonstration of body and soul was pretty sick!

i might just have to transcribe it...

jude4312 does't understand what it is about here, certainely not to be the leader of the world but to take your responsabilities as a bass player in a band... that's all, maybe you should see it again and learn something from one of the best jazz master of the bass.

[jude4312]

hehe relax man. how can i not understand what this is about, it's 7th video and i'm still watching after 9 months. what does saying JOIN ME have anything to do with jazz? think you're worshipping him too much man.

[mintyfreshnass]

jude do you even play upright bass ? man just what he said in video number one about letting the notes breathe enhanced my enjoyment I get out of this bitch of an instrument ten fold .

[jude4312]

yes i do and i must say i admire this guy as much as any bass player would. the way he said 'join me' is just funny to me. and if you say that has something to do with bass playing or playing the upright. i think you have a problem.

[mintyfreshnass]

and btw cheers I just found this video 3 days ago and will probably make many trips back to it .

[jude4312]

which reminds me, i too say 'go' or 'play' to the piano player or the drummer sometimes. which has nothing to do with playing bass. it's weird how many of you think i don't even play music or bass just because what he says amuses me. even if i watch this video forever, i'll still have something to learn from this legend. but still, join me, now stop sounds funny to me.

[mintyfreshnass]

its because you came across as someone who thought he wasn't teaching anything besides GO and START now that you make it clear that your just being confusing ..............................­........

[laraxeidolon]

he's teaching!

[DeRauser]

Ray is nothing!

I'm the best bassplayer in the world, ME!

[jodi183]

@DeRauser If that were true you wouldn't have to make an announcement and brag about it.

[tonkamine]

What a lesson!!
