great vid. i watched the whole thing. and i must say, you have something that most musicians of any instrument dont have. It is not the skill, or the dedication. It is not having the right instrument or any of that shit people think you need ot have. it is emotion. you just got it. and when you can play on an emotional level like that, you can reach people on an emotional level. people pick with me about getting emotional when i play, but i say fuck you, i love music. peace man.
Josh......ur a Prodigy dude....once again congrats on 1st place at the Bass summit!!! I've been studying that clip for about a month...and this is tasteful!!! what r using to loop ur bass?
dude fuckinh amazing! I can really feel the emotion behind those bass lines. You totally go into a different world there. especially at the very end when it takes you several seconds to come back and realize that the song is over. Where do you go?? Take me with you lol. one of the coolest and most compassionate bass solos ever.
you can tap for fun but all this stuff has no real practical application in the real world. if your at berklee u should be shedding more practical things to incorporate into ur playing. this isn't going to get you anywhere. nice job, just not for anyone at berklee pursuing a professional career in music
very nice. Its a horrible feeling when you know you've been completely outclassed as a bassist. I just did a cover of Hide and seek myself for a DPC performance. Not anything close to this though 5 stars
Awesome job!!! Never thought I"d hear a bass interpretation, but it works... I enjoyed it... Thanks for sharing it!!! Press on with more good music... :)
Most beautiful and inspiring interpretation of a great song. You play very dynamically and make good use of the effects. Nice combination of speed and feeling. 5/5
I just discovered this song last night and I have to say what you play is absolutely beautiful... Have you tried to play "Portrait of Tracy"? I think you have channelled Both Stanley Clark and Jaco Pastorious
dude this is haunting are you using a loop pedal? and what are you doing for the tapping in the beginning, i mean seriously like your bass must have no action whatsoever. lol
i was listening to a Carla Bruni album today (Quelqu'un M'a Dit), and when i got to track 6 i think the chord progression just reminded me of your solo. so here i am commenting on it again!
am only guessing here but maybe he is using a loop station there to create the bassline live on the spot and play the melody over it???? as i said i am only guessing...but like my sister said below.... in other words.. this guy sounds shit hot! Karen Jordan
What is the bass backing track to this and some of your other pieces? Do you lay down a bass track first and then play this over it? Amazing by the way! How long have you been playing? Three years? Wow!
Holy shit now thats what i call playing the guitar mate that was friggin awesome!! brilliant oh man i could go on for hours praising lol tlk about tallent good on ya buddy you've definately done justice to the song and brought forth the beautiful melody!
What a wonderful rendition you've made. Some people are just talented in areas inconceivable to the tone-deaf, like myself. I love Imogen Heap, and you've done her song justice. I'd love you to post it in mp3,so that I could download it. But no disresect to you...if I had to pay for it, it would be well worth it. You rock, dude!
I've never heard anyone so adept on the bass guitar. You're so talented and amazing. There's true passion in your playing, and I hope you much success. You rock, dude!
the best part about this is that you are enjoying this as much as i am. you are what i call a real supper star. DUDE you rule. wow you are so good i wish i could play like you.
amazing mate...really...thats something really special you got there
