Doug Johns Slapping Some Chords

[Tiago2384]

Grooving is great, really good job guys. Steady and on time this is great stuff for people to listen to and understand that pocket & grooving is everything and adding stuff comes along.

[spanky2964]

Your not human.When you roll over in the middle of the night,does that bass poke you,because I know you sleep with that thing!

[gaowensjr]

I like your version of Jerry Reeds "The Claw" in the opening of the video. Great job Doug!

[MrOxipower]

ey, you are the best, i play bass 1 year, and you are my inspiration. tnx for the lessons, the blues is te best.

see you.. from argentina.

sorry my inglish is very bad.

[toofpick151]

Ive found a new fav bass player. Man five seconds into it I was already done.

[fen57]

[DuxJerome]

You look like Steven Seagal. You kick ass too.

[snakeweirdo]

That is one fucked up thumb!

[diegobass21]

great groove man!!

[DarkThoot]

Hello Doug,u are now one of my fav bassplayer!!

[MellowDeFretwell]

Hey John,

Whats the song at the end, do you think you could make a short video sometime showing how you play the beginning? I have all of it that you've shown in this video down but I cant for the life of me figure out what you're doing at the start.

[buzzjohns]

@MellowDeFretwell The name of that tune at the end is "Funk Bomb," off my 2nd CD, Pocket Fulla Nasty. It is kind of a weird line. I think there are already videos of my duo playing that tunes somewhere here on YouTube. Hope that helps! Take Care ~ Doug :)

[MellowDeFretwell]

Hey John,

[Jellieb13]

[iamsexy1212]

[Jonibajo]

Great Sound!!!!

[LinkBulletBill]

Awesome!

The vid starts off with The Claw!

[XcatisX]

He is the funkiest white guy of all time.

[MrBassMan56]

Thanks for good stuff, me likey likey "EL MUCHoooooooo!!!...nen

[PhatLarkin]

It's a Pedulla MVP 4. The Buzz basses are the fretless versions. :D

[ramon709]

Can anyone tell me what type Pedulla this is? The neck seems perfect (like a small scale alembic neck) and the sound is great too!

[buzzjohns]

@ramon709 It's actually a Buzz bass - I had Mike Pedulla put frets in it years ago.... :)

[kapuska1234]

second song was amazing

[lakota66]

it sounds so great. a genious for me!!!!!!!!

[lowfreq65]

you smoke the bass

[black1swan2green3]

what sort of bass is that?

[c4tm4ster]

it's a Pedulla bass, but i don't know exactly the model

[freddyadu2nd1]

pedulla mvp buzz

[DeltaGaryGordon]

this guy kills overrated Les Clapool

[nukebass]

Woa! Really tight and solid stuff at 0:35 :-)

[TheArtofUTube]

@nukebass yeah 0:35 I could listen to that all day.

[WestEighteenth]

That is one hella-strong pinky finger!

[polishpirate123]

Tenor bass?

[kingpin191]

Because that's what he found to be comfortable for him. You have to remember there are no set rules for playing an instrument. He found what works for him and went with it.

[canvoodoo]

this guy has something a lot of the new bass heroes don't groove

[vinggert]

Fuck ya.. ur too good...

[guillaume1306]

I like the way he builds up his grooves. Thumbs up for Doug !

[rezaroosi]

0:44 ..flagoile..

Dammmmn dude..

[DESMYTTER]

Excellent !

[chaco57]

Man i hear some serious percussion on some of these groves . I heard yur last cd come on rafield an bill , i can do what both can do by my self ,call me #2166248470 chaco

[powerpicton]

nothing to do for me.... 

slapping & tapping = boring.

[jastbassplayer]

are you a bassplayer? i´m a metal bassplayer and i do slap on bass to help the percussion of the theme, simple and fast. no always, but sometimes is really nescesary

[nutrimentia]

Doug, I love you.

[oscaryruiz]

is that a banjo or a bass???

[ZwinnyAndrzej]

it's Pedulla MVP bass, I guess. ;)

[JesustheLizard]

niceeeee...

[scumgod13]

this dude is amazing!

[littlegreymen]

what kind of bass is that????

[herchimer]

pedulla, theyre pretty amazing from what i understand, wish i could play one

[littlegreymen]

cheers.

[ramon709]

oh and a great sounding bass, its a pedula right?

[ramon709]

Whooo! nice man, you play tight and your techniques are very good! *subscribed* 5/5

[fernandoinstituto]

It was perfect !!!

Very good bass player

[AlanSanderson1]

Hi

Do you have the action real low on your bass or is that all little finger strength?

cheers

[thepoison1627]

im sure its a combination of the 2

because if the action is too low it'll cause fret buzz

and if it's too high it'll sound retarded as fuck =P

[AlanSanderson1]

I think you're right man, but I still prefer using my middle finger or at a push ring finger. This guy is hardcore!

[Jpb90k]

Amazing! As ever.

[Blyss]

I met this cat a few months ago. cool as hell. unreal player

[JCThumbs]

man this guy attacks the hell out of his bass. dynamicly plays that thing hard as hell and it sounds amazing!

JC

[expressionality]
