Hadrien Feraud Best Bass Solos

[Cornbreadddd]

This kind of playing is so uninteresting and boring. There's little melody, nothing interesting, no intricate structuring. Just a pretentious display of zooming through scales at really high speeds to see how fast you can possibly play. Very inept display of true musical prowess

[djlsb]

he is a beast ,i also love felix pastorius ,felix is more melodic

[trolmusic]

great technique is king of a feeling ..and great timing is great groove ..i find a great bassist here, the way he like to play, is very atractive and i admire his hard word, because to reach that technique you have to cry blood killing your self hours and hours, and he could reached that till he feel like he could express what he feels that is this and i like it very much,...also his cd is great very frettless melodic, incredible solos and kind of romantic.

great musician !

[kkklegal1]

He can play fast,and he's a good bassist,but I don't see any feeling in this,though.

[DrPepperFlayvaSilly]

yeah he's fast but where's the groove??

[jryuwah]

The last part of this video sounds alot like Weather Report's Punk Jazz

[qiitxx]

Can he play acoustic?

[jimmyjohnson26]

Amazing stuff, always makes me want to practice after watching his videos :)

[Perimanxxxxxx86]

his skill is only matched by my boredom watching it

[flodaddylongleg]

Gary Willis was the first I know of who used the ramp...keeps your technique light.

[crazyjono666]

@flodaddylongleg it don't keep your technique light it makes every note you play even, so you don't under shoot or over shoot the notes and therefore allows faster playing :o)

[jjaffeonthebass]

you can look it up, it's his ken smith 'burner' bass, but in between the neck and bridge pickups is a black piece of wood that looks like a pickup, called a ramp. a lot of new school jazz players are playing with them, like janek gwizdala and matthew garrison.

[Adhmahadin]

Hey can someone tell me, what pickup that he used?? Im looking for that bass pickups everywhere but im still cant find it... -_-

[seqament]

@Adhmahadin neck pickup with full middle and 1/4 treble.

[theIconoclast1]

If by best you mean lots of technique then yes. If you mean best as in tonality then your wrong. You can only play the symmetrical diminished scale over everything for so long. Its the same solo over every song, on every record people.

[Kara0ki]

The drummer is smokin. awesome chops.

[luvdoc19]

Whats the name of the first song?

[jimmyjohnson26]

HADRIEN IS GOD. END OF.

[papavb]

his right hand articulation is mesmerizing, his left hand is alien

[tobias0598]

incredible bass player...this talent comes from God.

[squiresuzuki]

@tobias0598 His talent doesn't come from God, his talent comes from him and from hundreds of hours spent practicing. Unless by God you mean Jaco Pastorius.

[paulalexanderjohnson]

@squiresuzuki dude... you don't understand the power of god!

[jazzmelodicminor77]

what are the names of the tunes they play the first one and the one at the end are the same ones they have the same progression it seems like they were filmed on 2 different shows at the same place!

[carloscs5]

insane muscle memory. about 2 terabytes of data in each hand. Great musician, great bassist. Go HF!!!

[bigwm]

This guy is scarily getting better!

Ive seen him with a buckeye burl topped Smith Burner, I'm guessing he has a special affinity with this bass he's playing.

[limzero1992]

the drummer seems quite amused :)

[sorbolik58]

BRAVO, MA JACO............

[hahabass]

I didn't know Boris Becker played bass!

[byLivio]

A shout out to Gorden Campbell on drums!

Those two jams very well together.

[RobinB84]

Not my favorite bass-sound but amazing play!! I really like the grooves and rhythms of the drummer too.

[steenbass]

I do like Hadrien's playing very much, I just wish he would stay on a note for longer than a 32nd...

[MrNoak2]

I'm so glad I've found out about this guy. When I think in my head how I would want to sound when I play it sounds very much like this.

[mhoonunit1]

BEAST!!!!!

LOVE ALL YOU DO BROTHER

T.Mhoon A.K.A The GrooveMaster.

[fabibass]

monster player

[welsonerva]

Wow!

[24maart1986]

I would like to see this guy playing diiferent kind of styles of music or different basses, there he would definetly grow more! I met him in Paris once killing playing, amazing technique

[Theshiggityshwa]

Respond to this video... Honestly, It would be cool to hear him play something like Progressive Heavy Metal.

[squiresuzuki]

@Theshiggityshwa That would not be interesting at all.

[yeatsg]

@squiresuzuki

Progressive music is practically the definition of interesting.

[squiresuzuki]

@yeatsg I disagree with your statement, just because it changes over time doesn't mean it's interesting, furthermore, minimalist music is one of my favorite genres. I also love progressive music. It's the heavy metal part I was referring to.

[yeatsg]

@squiresuzuki

Well should I say, for the most part the goal of progressive artists is to compose interesting music. That's the mindset. Prog metal's got a couple really cool really revelutionary bands, but also has yielded some inspired messes. I guess the same goes for any genres. Regardless i like this bass player a lot.

[squiresuzuki]

@yeatsg Yeah, I agree with you there. Tool, Primus, and Dream Theater are some of my favorite bands. According to last.fm, i've listened to Tool almost 3,000 times :)

[shailenkarur]

@squiresuzuki Yep, heavy metal is 'still' too three chord based, give me an 'A', give me a 'D" and an 'E', and I'll do some cool! screaming in between, on my fretboard,:-)

Not knocking it, though, some cool shtiff in there ... :-)

[Moog168]

@24maart1986 With the things he's playing now....I'm sure he gets plenty of calls for sessions no mater the genre....heck he's working a lot in L.A.....A LOTTTT

[24maart1986]

@Moog168 So I have to go to LA to see him play different styles! haha

[Moog168]

@24maart1986 Nahhh he travels where the gig calls him to play but he lives in L.A. and L.A. is one of the cities where all the top guys do play and record.

[jazzsaavy]

hadrien!!! love ya bud never walk away need another album soon though tunes like rumeurs just nailed it that way sweet man, please get back in studio soon come to the states live near chicago would love to see you hope you swing this way sometime in the near future, peace........and jazz forever all in the same huh!!!

[Douglass92]

1st drumer : Gorden Campbell

2nd drumer : Ron Bruner

3rd drumer : Chris Coleman

[nathanbossoh]

@Douglass92 Oo Gorden Campbell ok yeah,

,Thanks man.

[Jhowar04]

im so glad had is getting better.... it would have been a real shame if he had not



[Douglass92]

@Jhowar04

lol usually, hadrien is never satisfied about wat he plays..! so he tries to get better and better always..

[bemolable]

@Douglass92 That`s the secret to improve!

[Cambodia69]

@bemolable So is playing with other musicians who are better, more experienced and wiser than yourself. I remember the first time hearing Hadrien's playing and going "holy sh*t" but now, perhaps because I'm older, I'm much more impressed with composition, groove and how something moves me instead of speed, chops and technical skill. No. I'm not dismissing Hadrien as the latter but surely he, like all of us, is not above the need for improvement. And at such a young age, he's got plenty of time.

[allpass91]

this is just ridiculous. it takes years and years to reach this level...

[nathanbossoh]

Just Too much!!

And Chris Coleman is just killing on drums playing through 15/8 with so much ease!

[Kuuuks]

@nathanbossoh That's not Chris Coleman....

[nathanbossoh]

@Kuuuks The last drummer is Chris Coleman I should have said, I know the first guy isn't, and the second guy is Ron Bruner at Namm wit had Im sure.

[holaspacecadet]

the best!
