You sound amazing, my friend. I appreciate the musicality and not just some slap, tap, pop, pluck fest that has nothing to offer but random notes played at blazing speeds. You make your instrument sing.
great solo man! some of your expressions remind me of John Patitucci, one of my favorite bassist. The Smith bass as well. Keep playing. You've got my support!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the end of the song when he sings is just a joke..!!!! and his face is like hes at the toilets having the flu..!! hahahaha!
well anyway hes good BUT , what about all the altered chords?? he forgot all of them. don't make mistakes guys ,spain is not about using the same scale during the whole song , not at all! and there's a mistake during the "tutti" break" the notes aren't corrects at one moment.
he needs to learn harmony and listen to the chick's solos on that shit.
@Douglass92 Wow... I didn't know someone could possibly sound so full of themselves through a youtube comment. If you don't see this as an amazing solo I hope you can do better otherwise you be better off not saying anything. There are "pros" that can't improvise nearly as well as this guy. The point of improvisation is to work within given boundaries (chord structure) to make something beautiful. How that is done isn't important. It's not to simply show that you can play through changes.
@Thatguy301 you've right..A LOT of "pros" can't...but watch out what you're sayin'..;
"The point of improvisation is to work within given boundaries (chord structure) to make something beautiful"
that's right but ONLY WHEN THERE IS ONE CHORD..lol
yeah man..in structures like spain there are several modes that you can't avoid..just listen to the composer himself soloing on that...do you really think he uses only the D maj scale...? I DON'T think so ...your bassplayer is a faker...sorry...
@Douglass92 It's probably for the best that your last comment was removed. You criticism is hardly constructive. You say you can do better and that I probably know you then you say you can't post your name? I don't care who you are, I would honestly love to see a solo from you that's "better" than this. I'm surprised that that you can so readily used a term like that in an area such as improvised soloing. A solo isn't better simply because someone knows how to move around changes.
"A solo isn't better simply because someone knows how to move around changes"
dude you know what? those words from you , just show me that you totally don't know what you're talkin about..(and obviously when I see you play I understand..)
every chord as a precis scale , and if you don't respect that scale you fuck up the beauty of that chord wich is so special BECAUSE OF that special SCALE that fit to it, wich means that you don't care about MUSIC...
@Douglass92 Firstly, I haven't solo'd in any of my videos (because I suck at it) but leave the personal attacks for uneducated folks, you sound smarter than that. Anyway, that sounds like a very roundabout about way of "fucking up a song." Am I to understand that just because it sounds good doesn't mean its good? Does music all of a sudden have to live up to a technical standard now just because it uses multiple keys?
"central key"...............???? why Chick Corea afford playing over every fuckin modes of this song and being super melodic at the same time....? why Chick Corea , herbie Hancock , Patitucci , Garrison never skip changes?? how the fuck can you "IGNORE" the changes......?? forget about music dude..for real ..you're one of those fuckin ignorant that think only "intentions" matters....and what about "Knowledge et musicality" at the same time ? wake the fuck up cuz...!!! damn.
lol, that's right, I shouldn't be mad at you...lol
you unfortunetely have no taste and no clue...keep thinkin you're right. but anyway , take a listen to chick , sylvain luc or bireli lagrene playing that..hopefully you will understand what I m talkin about..
@Douglass92 Well then we will never agree. Knowledge is FAR from the most important thing in music. People were making music long before music notation and theory were even thought about. There are plenty of musicians that sound amazing and couldn't tell you what scale they're using. I don't think any professional player beside maybe Jeff Berlin would agree with you. Knowing music is good but feeling it is something much more necessary to it production. Bassran at the VERY least has the feel.
lol...Berlin is a friend of mine obviously, this not suprise you I guess uh? lol
fortunetely , a lot of great players aside from Jeff agree with me ..and I agree with them ..man , seriously..make sens to what you're saying...we're no more in the anthiquity era..loool , a LOOOOOT of things had been discovered since then you know? "Knowledge is FAR from the most important thing in music"......dude , knowledge is a tool , how you wanna built a house without knowing the basics ?
@Douglass92 People have been building houses for a long time and for a long time people didn't know the engineering concepts behind building houses but they did it anyway. Of course, people learned more bout house building they could build them better but without that extra knowledge does that mean that they can't build a house? It may sound circular but the most important thing in music is simply the ability to create it. Knowledge is important, but secondary. We won't agree so I'll leave it.
with intentention and feel and "spirit" (oh jesUuUUUs) only.....??? lol
stop dude , your house will stay week then will break and fall because it miss the foundations....
same for art...you can fake a long time ..but there's always one day coming where you reach the limit where you can't..
anyway , that's not the point, when you love music,if you're gifted and you already have "the feel" as U say, you study HARMONY .period. but I m telling you , I think you can't hear his mistakes
excellent .you really got it man..im too a bassist..hope you can teach me with those lick really quantize, really have agreat sound..reminds me oteil bervrege
If you have a minute or two, could you tell me a bit about how you're getting the looping going. Are you using a looping station. If so, which one is it? I've seen a few mixed reviews on the main ones available.
veramente sei bravo...un gan bassista sei...bel suono mammamia una bella improvvisazione!!!ti ho messo in prevferiti mi sei piaciuto tanto! suoni benissimo
Great job! Great bass player. I was thinking in buying a Ken Smith 6 strings but i think i will stick with my old Squier until i learn to play properly :) keep up man!
Bro'i had no idea you were in Isreal. Dude we got see you on albums. you have got to be the best solo bass around...Global. hurry up, man come to america. you can play with anyone.
well i dont think you can just say timing sucks. the looped bass groove might be getting faster, but during the solo theres an awesome feeling and rhythmical understanding. i think he is consciously playing out of time but gets back into the groove any time he wants to!
i really don't get the feeling that he is selling the singing. For a lot of players, singing along with what they are playing comes naturally. I wish I had that much of a tonal...ummm... awareness!
his timing is a little off...but even the best of us needs a metronome. It is definitely something that a lot of (non-drumming) musicians neglect in practice. I often run my scales intent upon developing muscle memory and hand dexterity. Timing is sadly an afterthought.
I think the timing here is adlib and this guy can perfectly keep it. This "free" timing playing gives more personality to the song. If playing with a band would be a mess but here... they guy does a great job.
yo Ran......ive been waiting for some-1 not to want to sound like everybody else. you have a unique way of allowing yaself to be free. the bass is a instrament of freedom, no dout.
Man let me tell you your are fucking beast excuse my language. I have a lot of musicians around me doing photography. Wow!!! That was a treat brotha!! I leave in philly of course you a lot of greats come philly playing bass Stanley,Gerald,just to name a couple. Send that to ever bass company you can google. GOOD LUCK HOMIE!!!!!
NICE. :D I really like using voice to sing the melody while playing it on the bass. There's a brazilian bass player called Arthur Maia, who use this in a wonderfull way.
Congratulations, I'll to be greater than you. Lol :D
Nice job Bassran. Considering the history of electric vs acoustic basses that started in the '50s and especially the '60s, it's interesting to see that the former bastard instrument has traditions of it's own. 4 or 6 strings? We've come a long way.
I don't want to be a hater but could some one please explain to me why people want to play guitar on bass? I play myself and I think its a lot more impressive to have a lot of skill with only four strings. 5 strings is about as far as I enjoy and thats only to get a low b. It seems like it would be impressive to slap on a million strings and let rip but I've seen it a lot and no one has ever really grabbed my attention. try doing that with only 4 strings and then play spain.
No. Extended range basses are just that: They have an EXTENDED range. You usually can't play six string songs on a four string bass. Why limit yourself with four strings if you want to play the higher/lower notes of an extended range bass.
Very nice!

YOU don't understand anything . thank YOU .
Douglass92 1 year ago
@Douglass92 No you didn't understand
Just because you don't hear him arpeggiate every chord doesn't mean he's not playing through the changes.
Sometimes he ignores the chord change and stays in central key.
Other times he's doing substitutions of chords.
And other times he's making "melody" Remember that? It's not all about soloing over changes with the coolest mode and tensions.
Obviously you thinking this guy isn't good, makes you completely ignorant.

NICE. :D I really like using voice to sing the melody while playing it on the bass. There's a brazilian bass player called Arthur Maia, who use this in a wonderfull way.
Congratulations, I'll to be greater than you. Lol :D

Nice job Bassran. Considering the history of electric vs acoustic basses that started in the '50s and especially the '60s, it's interesting to see that the former bastard instrument has traditions of it's own. 4 or 6 strings? We've come a long way.

Oh, and Bassran, I think you sound great. Very George Benson-esque.

I don't want to be a hater but could some one please explain to me why people want to play guitar on bass? I play myself and I think its a lot more impressive to have a lot of skill with only four strings. 5 strings is about as far as I enjoy and thats only to get a low b. It seems like it would be impressive to slap on a million strings and let rip but I've seen it a lot and no one has ever really grabbed my attention. try doing that with only 4 strings and then play spain.

No. Extended range basses are just that: They have an EXTENDED range. You usually can't play six string songs on a four string bass. Why limit yourself with four strings if you want to play the higher/lower notes of an extended range bass.
