The Chicken - 11 years old bass player

[imhamish]

The child form of Nathan East

[TCharlieA]

This was recorded with a calculator, a paper cup, a wheel of cheese, and a glass of dog piss.

[TheDcoco]

OMG!!!!

You're amazing!!!

I'm trying to lear this song right now and I find it hard

Don't stop playing!!!

[darkboy0777]

loladas9,

It's not a race issue. Your just lazy and don't care to practice. I looked at your YouTube site....maybe you should put the video games away for a while and practice if you want to become a great musician.....or better yet, take all your clothes off and lay in the sun for 8 hours.

[TexasRodandCustoms]

Sweet , I have the same Schecter bass with flame top , neck thru .

Keep playing , you are very talented .

[DonkeySyrup]

now that he played everyone else is like "fuck it i quit"

[Johann666brandon]

grande pipoquinha

[deadithink]

Sounds like shit.

[airbrush504]

he is not a fucking boy he is a freaking gaint i hate that word i don't any boys that can play freakin Jaco the chicken.

[mohamedhebala]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!~~~~~~~~~~~!­!!!!!!!!!!!!



[Heffsta02]

FUCK YEEEEEH. That kid is baws.

[cursedswordsman]

That wasn't too good. But I'd imagine it would be really hard for him since basses (and that one in specific!) have ultra long necks

[alexmaloy]

@cursedswordsman The quality of the video isn't very good, but you clearly haven't heard Jaco.

[3ddonovan]

Jaco Pastorius, Les Claypool, Flea, that dude playing the Rickenbacker for LaBelle on Soul Train, Paul McCartney,Geddy Lee, Tom Araya, Paul Raven-just to name a few non-black bassist that are doing pretty good. Music knows no color. Shame on who ever it was that played the race card.

[soadfreaky11]

45 people are jealous!

[grosblyth]

Im better :|



[WilliamSkov]

He's good! But not better than a lot of prof players! But he got the potential!

[SammyWhyte]

@WilliamSkov he already plays at a professional level. The kid is a musical prodigy.

[imurbrain]

And in 11 more years he'll be able to play at bars :)

[dandianag]

@imurbrain in texas u dont have to be 18 to play in a bar u just have to be supervised....

[Etynxeim]

Бля, ну самим не стыдно выкладывать видео в таком качестве??

[579461sf]

that kid is a genius, but the quality is unacceptable

[funkymachoman]

Look at dat lito dude do him some Jaco. Funky Machoman thinks thats cute! dig it!

[tutten321]

damn you are good as 11 years old! i just dont like the sound in this video:(

[homemdubaixo]

poxa pipoquina?

toka outra musica po!

[VanishingDigital]

better than me

:(

[loladas9]

grrgrgrgrghhh...WHY ONLY BLACK PEOPLE CAN PLAY BASS LIKE THAT??? not fucking fair

[math3wd]

@loladas9 i can play bass like that and im an 11 year old white kid

[loladas9]

@math3wd lol, its obvious u didnt got the joke

[math3wd]

@loladas9 i did get it



[GameCardTeamSilvR]

@loladas9

Fuck off with your stereotype bullshit.

[loladas9]

@GameCardTeamSilvR U mad bro?

[GameCardTeamSilvR]

@loladas9

"U mad bro?" derp derp. U mad? Lolz? Roflomfgpwned bro? Hahahaha fucking twat.

[loladas9]

@GameCardTeamSilvR lol i can cleary see that you're mad. honestly, learn to take a fucking joke, probably thousands of black ppl saw my comment, and didnt gave a shit. dunno if you're black or not, but that stereotype is actually A COMPLIMENT

fuckig tough guy over the internet

[GameCardTeamSilvR]

@loladas9

Mad? Nobody is mad, I just think it is lame that your level of what you call a joke is that stereotype bullshit.

[loladas9]

@GameCardTeamSilvR well in my opinion when somebody says fuck off to a guy he doesnt know, its MADNESS

[deependful]

@loladas9 sounds exactly how jaco played it. he was white.

[MadMfDoom]

@loladas9 check out jaco pastorius... hes white, one of the best players on bass

[loladas9]

@MadMfDoom forget it, the joke is already ruined. fucking anti-jokes

[eaglesfan1999]

@loladas9 anybody could do it. U jus gotta feel the music. Dont jus play it because you can. I know this kid is playin from his heart. Not to show off. Try it.

[subbbass]

@loladas9

Jaco was white! a lot of Jacos music came from Motown and James Jamerson.

But what would be any black jazz-pianist without Bach or Chopin, Debussy, Stravinsky?

what would have been Michael Brecker or any white Saxophon Player without Charlie Parker?

Man, we have 2011! Who cares about skin-colour? only people living in the past.

listen to Hadrien Feraud!

Importend is the Brain not the skin-colour

[Geoff612]

@loladas9 Jaco wasn't black and he wrote the song.

[Chromatype]

@Geoff612 This is an old funk/R&B classic. Composed by one of James Brown's old horn section cats Pee Wee Ellis, Jaco Pastorious really made it one of his anthems, but he DID NOT compose it.

[stormin300]

@loladas9 Jaco Pastorius, who wrote this bass line was white, music is colourblind!

[FZroma]

@loladas9 LOL, so Jaco was black ? :P

[Casebomb]

well no wonder he can play bass. hes black. all black people can play jazz bass

[hendrixfreek]

sweet..

[MrCelloNinja]

nice, but the distortion is really bad.

[imakedookie]

this is the freshman in my jazz band. replacing me. a junior.

[Socioistic]

Why can't people praise young players on their skill, instead of praising them for being good despite their age? The only limitations that age can have is that of the physical type: hands not being big enough, not being able to hold an instrument correctly, et cetera; all limitations that would only be a problem for a child under the age of 10.

[thebassmonster0100]

40 people just threw their basses at the wall and burnt the remains. :-)

[SouloSwang]

ok i hear you man lol

[timoonn]

great mic bro

[bobbysbackingtracks]

my ears just got nuked.

[yodb1]

why should the white bassists be hating? I'm black and old and i'm hating ....the young fellow is NICE!!!!!

[MrLintRoller]

Black Skin= Amazing Bass Player

Scientifically proven

[mrnirvana1000]

@MrLintRoller -the stupidest thing ever said. You're an idiot!

[MrLintRoller]

@mrnirvana1000 You don't even know me, how can you say that was the stupidest thing ever? The hell?! You ignorant little fuck it was a joke and its suppose to be funny! Actually your the idiot for taking something in offensive from someone who is probably 1000 or 10000 miles away! Calling me an idiot the fuck is that?! You sir are the dumb-ass.

[Freepepsi42]

he is black what do you expect. just joking

[Amaurybass19]

@Freepepsi42 he's not black, he's brazilian

[Freepepsi42]

@Amaurybass19 whatever ok he looks black and black is a race not a nationality there are black Brazilians there are indian looking Brazilians white etc etc

[bassplaya555]

Nice! this is what i consider good bass playing. more kids should learn at a earlier age make the world a better place.

[ivanewski]

the kid is alright.. i wouldn't say he's better than a professional though. i started playing when i was 7.

[LIGHTRONIX]

@SupaHairFlip Just the fact that your favorite band is Owl City proves you have no idea what you are talking about.

[LighthammerStudios]

@SupaHairFlip Do better. Yeah, thought so.

[ABCDEH11]

@SupaHairFlip Have you seen his other videos??? This kid is funky as shit!!!

[JeffreyMiddelveld]

wauww, he CAN play!!

nice niice niiice!

[wowaccpass]

The bass is bigger than he is.

[oohoohmelikey]

Poor video quality. Good bass player. THUMBS UP DAMNIT! I NEED ATTENTION NOW!

[MsBobohj]

whats so amazing about kids and instruments im 11 to and i play bas well not as well as HIM!!! but good and my bass looks much better than HIS!!!

[ArgTincho]

thats incredible, im 21 and started playing 3 months ago and i want to cut my balls right now because of this

[tikidung]

@ArgTincho thats not even a good reason to even contemplate that idea

[kam1982il]

You need to clean your sound recorder from butter before use

[stonedparyah]

I didnt get this good til I was at least 18 lol. FML

[prettybassdoll]

WONDERFUL, VERY TALENTED YOUNG MAN.

[Levermanskoya]

And what do we learn from this? Bass playing is very easy, in time playing ain´t...but nobody cares :-)

[Carlitosbass13]

Pipoquinha é o cara o/

[slappingpopping]

Sorry but you cant say he plays better than a lot of professional players. generalizations suck.

[RsDude11888]

at least he aint white so we cant say he'll be the next jaco pastorius

[distortedchild88]

he needs to hook up and jam with tallen lats!!!

[bolari2008]

MAARCOONE UHHUUUUL 

[manifatzigula]

noooooice!!! ;)

[ahaaaaaaaaah]

One bag of black shit, nothing at all, even on this age,

go do something else. Play outside or so...

"This boy is fantastic. Plays much better than a lot of professional players"

Hahaha... How naive!

[iKiiiLzx]

bass = bigger than the kid

[ItsThatToolGuy]

Mucho Respecto.

[charlesfitzpatrick]

@MrDiesel6 so true

[lfox91]

Can people stop with the black comments seriously PRACTICE and leave race out of it

[SAINTBENOIT88]

wow



[gefsty]

way to go man !!!you are great!!it's good to see people connected with music at that age!!(i'm a bassist too and i'm white :P)

[gunlak]

black people are good at everything

[bones5508]

@gunlak lmao!!!

[96dannoo]

holy shit the things almost as big as he is

[pastiesandagstring]

haha, that bass looks huge on him. not bad at all though, keep strummin. you'll grow into that bass one day.

I want to seem do teen town now though!:] j/k I still can't even play that one. soooooo fast.

[acedude181]

im a 14 yr old white bassist and that kid just made me consider suicide haha

[mitchleswaytv]

racist!!!

[axiluss]

what does his skin color have to do with his music? he's already grooving, in 10 years could become a true master - and why the fuck would anyone use this as an argument for/against white/black race?

[ovelysto]

@axiluss

it has nothing to do with race, but it is everywhree said that all black people can play bass ( not rasist more joke like) because they have the groove in their blood and it is

true in parts.

[chapanese96]

keep going, kid. at this rate you're gonna make it into the pros.

[yosoysahidleon]

im from mexico.......not much black people here..... but i would certainly love to work with one of them........soulful.......tale­nted...........brilliant

[seandeeify]

Wow!!!

[andreking84]

nirvanna4 4 u should be a shame of your shelf this kids have more skill then u thats why u mad huh

[brooklynstudio]

@newpariah jaco was white

[h0ck3ym4st3r19]

of couse he is black

[Nirvana44brad]

kid sucks

[SleepingInTheFire]

why cant us white people play bass?? (i realise the irony in that statement)

[killer6662012]

my version is the sheeeeeeeet i put dem whitteis to shame

[retards52]

Better than a lot professional players? Wow, you must listen to some pretty shitty music then.

[poopyodb]

thats a nice bass

[byeneefreak123]

this dude will be genius!

[huginandmunin]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

[emrehanli]

just wow!

[grouvette]

I like

[44MagnumHitman]

That kid will grow up to become the next Victor Wooten! ; )

[slappingpopping]

i acctually think victor wooten would disagree with that, he would say something like all bass players are unique, and one can never be the same xD

[44MagnumHitman]

Ok you are probably right... but it was meant as a compliment. Either way, this kid will grow up to be even more of a badass than he already is now!

[slappingpopping]

yeah i was joking anyway, true about being badass when older

[ultimabass]

He definitely would!

[perfectly1979]

LOL, you're right!! X°°D

[JacOilgekO]

@44MagnumHitman

Ehehehh Maybe it's his Son!!!

[foxybrown2]

well the sad thing about the internet is that

racist hateful people can spew their garbage

behind a computer without being accountable

never argue with a racist you will never win

Peace and Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marcoontheedge]

soy mejor q esa pendeja madre puta y solo tengo 10 años

[Frozenskull9]

if ur better than him post ur videos....and in ur profile it says ur 21 years old

[groovinpanda]

i could play this when when i was like 10 not that hard

[NathanCMusicz]

That is nothing short of bad ass!

Keep it up man!

[JohnKreeseCobraKai]

The irony of your words are outstanding. Typical nigger.

[lavonqb]

Nigger huh your ain't nun but a lil bitch dawg you just pissed that youd get showed up by a lil kid wat up foo

[JohnKreeseCobraKai]

Learn English, nigger.

[newpariah]

lolz, all the the white bassists are hating this kid now

[NAThan9871]

@newpariah Nope we love him a lot !!!!!!

[Merlin97]

@newpariah

Man, that was uncalled for. Bassists support and the real ones are over joyed to see a young talent like this coming up. If you're surrounded by hate and put downs yourself, please don't reflect it back out into the world, because there's already enough of that shit here already.

[newpariah]

@Merlin97 it was just a joke man, i can honestly admit i was nowhere near as good as he is at his age, and i respect that. and although i know that a lot of bassists would admire him for his prowess i know that some would get jelous, its human nature.

[Merlin97]

@newpariah

Cool!

[tubelessnet]

Bravo malihsa.....samo nastavi,pozdrav iz Srbije

Nice work,kid...just keep on, best wishies from Serbia ;)

JohnKreese...u must be an American?

[JohnKreeseCobraKai]

You must be Amercan.

[badbassjd]

We all know that lovers accomplish great things and haters never amount to sh*&^, so just let him stew and putrefy.

[MaxiBassmanDownbeat]

"He is black so he gonna be good at the bass ? are u serious ? it doesn't mean anything, was Jaco black ?

[drpepperjake123]

its really not that amazing pplk god! hes black so hes gonna be good at the bass. its like all asian people are born with black belts in there blood

[Hitamaru]

he's black :I you act like this is stephen hawkings walking.

[FoXdEc96]

fairplay that kid is AWESOME for his age

ive been playing bass for a year and im grade 6 an i thought that was pretty good but this kid is just AWESOME

[ZitkyAdams]

This kid is good, but for those guys who fell bad because this kid plays better than em, there is one simple Pro tip:

Practice, practice, and practice. ;]

[LeonRussellisGod]

Someday this kid will have his own band..

[muhi94]

this is quite normal for black people

evry one of em can play bass like this

[TaBAScoBel]

I hope that was a not so funny joke... Otherwise you're a racist bastard.

[asd848]

@muhi94 a nice bedtime story you learned right there fella...

[rockinsurfkid]

holy crap. that is crazy cool

[JoeTheGrunt]

Smokin!!!! Jaco would be proud!!!

[thegoodusernameman]

Holy shit :D

[twichyllama]
