good luck to you!

[constantine2112]

Jason, that was outstanding. I love sound of your freetless.

Congrats

[LovelyTonight]

Great interpretation, very much to the soul of a song.

[rio985]

you sound great, but, why not have a try at the WHOLE song? God knows that song only sounds right on a fretless.

[FilipinoDude781]

does any1 know where i can buy a cheap beginners bass, i wanna learn the bass sooooooo bad

[then00best]

guitarcenter

[goldmember123]

fuck GC.

Go anywhere BUT Guitar Center.

[rio985]

well, just about anywhere you can find that Ibanez and a bunch of other brands have "beginner packs" that include a nice-and-not-at-all fancy bass and a crappy amp. I'd recommend something like that, or why just no go out to find a used one?

[FilipinoDude781]

Lol bro, i already started guitar lessons a couple months back

[banduraplayer]

Very nice! I hope I can play that piece as well one day; I'm getting my first fretless tomorrow!!! :-)

[69erthx1138]

Your just playing the vibrato the way you feel it. Excellent interpretation. I just got a six string and hope I can do as well.

[ellocogris]

great!

[sophty61]

Very good! Wish I could do that on my Sabre stripped off frets thing :o)

[Bondost]

Nice, i'like that..

[nyfarfalla84]

nice tone!

[carsleuth]

Thats really good! Just make sure you don't rush some of the notes...great job

[vakmere]

Everybodys a fuckin critic. This guy is doing it nicely on a Ken Smith. Nice tone. The bass is worth more than some of you make in a month.

[Jimmytuba08]

Not sure how necessary that last sentence was, but good point and well made.

[hyousetsusama]

You have a great tone and you are a talented player. I want to see more vibrato and feel to it if you know what I mean. Other than that great.

[amierdolo]

2 things:

a metronome and something called "feeling"

[lordkrandel]

I think he is right. This is not an offense, just a positive critic. Feeling is something you acquire with experience and passion. It's that something ethereal that makes you feel... "wow". Keep on practising with the metronome, it's important. Just keep on playing and it will always get better.

[luvjaco]

Can you do it on a FOUR string fretless ?

[slapinfunk]

See my other video's.. I just uploaded one playing it on my 4 string frettless jazz... this video is played on a 6 string but I do not use the C or B strings at all... so essentially, its on a 4 string but having to mute 2 more strings...

[thomasfo]

yeah that was a stupid comment... a 6 string isnt a crutch its just to have more range

[Experienced3]

man this is not a stupid comment ...its seems that u had never play a 5 or 6 strings bass...the B string is always in backgroud if u dont muted this one ..

[thomasf]

i have a 6

[Metalology]

Wow, you're obviously blind or just plain stupid. He didn't even use the high C when he very well could have.

[arnbassbaritone]

it is fretless

[wheatcent0]

Well done...beautiful tone!!! You could be more agressive with your vibrato is you want, it would sound great!!

What model Ken Smith do you play?

[zamk1992]

What kind of a bass are you playing?

[comedimusico]

good interpretation of the song...great, ''continuum'' on that way

[quaz12]

nice bass. sounds good
