[philosopher1000]

[Macieqsk8]

Maaan... That's the one of the best MM tones that you've ever reached! (imho ofc).

How did you do that?

[RasputinStream]

Some nice bass playing right there. Keep it up!

[TheHrodWulf]

just great! , that would be really great if you play "Flashlight" by parliament!!

[HomeBuyersofOhio]

Man you were born to play bass...I 've seen alot of your vids and you are the man

[freakadelia]

Man, just discovered this song - thrashing it - and am learning the bass also. Outstanding. Inspiring too. Good shit.

[andrewjr8]

Nice job! No half ass cover on youtube this is great. More funk!

[kaneda1674]

Wicked!

[MrNathan791]

great job david. you are great no matter what style music you play;you simply rock the house.

[ensoundment]

Many bass players that hit the modulation run away with it to much and lose the pocket. About 4:40 and on you hit that groove man...Good Job... listen to some maze while you are at it... get your body dance moving more sensual the bass... hint.... you got it on...

Young wht dude playin the funk, I love it, there is hope for the world after all.

[wichin1516]

mmm i'm your fan jaja

mmm but mm what's your frist video???

[9012Music]

Man, What a cover.

[mollutje]

do you use any effects or is that just the sound of the bass?

[MrPrincepop]

I'm blown man!! First of all this is a classic that I love from my youth (I'm 46) and I still play this on both my guitar and bass. But to see a new generation kids rediscover the Funkadelics? I'm just simply amazed. You sound really great man, keep it up and continue to share!

[HawksFunk]

Yeah, you got the funk!

[titoine1212]

Au Québec, on aime le funk

[tehutiheru]

Right on Point. Much Love from Southwest Detroit. Home of the Funk Brothers who plays on American Idol.& the Home of Belita Woods aka The Voice of Parliment-Funkadelic

[rocktobercock]

keep this shit alive brother!

[3bassclef]

funky!

i miss the hair! haha

[funkfan48]

I see Cordell "Boogie" Mosson's repalcement!

You rock, my dude!

[bulba1395]

davids a fuckin beast. your stupid little criticism and dumb comments no one cares about wont ever change that. He palys the way he wants to. and to me his playing is pretty goddamn impressive

[funkfan48]

Funk Don't Fail Me Now!

[adamtzsch]

You can think so or not. If the frets are buzzing, it's got nothing to do with anything else but his fingering. It also has nothing to do with "looking comfortable".

[topheytophezz]

frets of musicman buzz a lot get info before critic

[adamtzsch]

Tell that to Flea and Tony Levin: I don't hear theirs buzzing. See - I have info :)

[topheytophezz]

if you know how many pedals or tone works they've got to "change" sound then you will understand why you ear these noises

[adamtzsch]

Actually, I do understand what I'm hearing - and you're talking crap. No pedal makes frets buzz. Jeez...

[topheytophezz]

but pedals mute fret buzz

[adamtzsch]

Duh...I know. So what? Wtf??

So - he needs a pedal like that - or he needs to sort out his fingering.

[fantinmoreno]

That's why you can't just tell him what he must do like "relax your fingers" etc. as if you knew everything. "horrible sound" doesn't make this a bad cover. It's all about the groove, the feeling.

Now watch his very old vids, then the latest ones, and imagine David in 10 years. This man's progress is rare.

[punkbassjack]

You guys just see every comment with critics as an offense, if I'd envy him, I just said it was horrible and I wouldn't give a tip. I know what I am saying, because my style was like that. Too agressive, people told me to play less agressive and work on my sound. Listen to the song it's sound and fit in it. You don't drum funk with a rocksound/feel aren't you? It was just a comment on this vid.

I know about his progress, and as a musician I want him to grow. So I gave just 1 tip. Think about it.

[fantinmoreno]

I think about every single thing you say, believe me.

But come on.

[punkbassjack]

Yeah but I think you're just subjective and don't see my help.

If you acting like a dick just because I gave a little thing he could work on, I don't want to talk with you anymore.

Musicians are friend, not concurrents.

It's better to listen to the tips than just fuck everybody off who got some critics. Without critics and tips you are not in able to work on yourself, the best players got critics. Because it's hard to see things (by yourself) you're could be do better.

[fantinmoreno]

Don't tell me that critics help as if I didn't know that. Dude, I've played for almost 10 years and got a lot of these, immediatly tried to correct them if I could, so please don't give me advices about the way to learn an instrument.

I think I'm in a better place, as David's bandmate and friend, to describe his playing.

[punkbassjack]

Well, if you know it.. Why don't you just accept that I'm just somebody who tries to help him?

I've seen about 50 vids of David, I am glad that he's a good bassplayer.

Of course you're in a better place then, and as a friend you stand up for him.

I wish you a good future with David!:) (Not a joke or something).

[fantinmoreno]

Because the way you told it was, in my opinion, not acceptable.

Anyway, I was not (only) standing up for the friend here, but clearly for the bassist.

I still don't agree at all with your comment, I know perfectly how David plays, he's much more than a "good" bassist, no need to be subjective to realise that.

If it was not a joke, than thank you.

[Rafescow]

come back with your long hair david!! it looked badass

[fantinmoreno]

thank God, you're here to give David advices, you master of the bass!

[punkbassjack]

What do you mean?

I don't know why people downrated me..

Only because I gave advice to him? People, wake up! David isn't the best player in the world, he's good but far from the best. I just wanted to let him think about it and help.

Music is more than playing the right notes.

If you just can't handle that I don't kiss his ass because he is a good bassplayer, fine, but say that to me with good arguments. I don't hate him because he is a good bassist, musicians are friends and not concurrents.

[fantinmoreno]

don't get me wrong, i never said he was the best bassist in the world.

but man, he's just turning 20 and plays since end of 2006, you must remember that.

You can't judge him and his playing just by looking at 1 vid that was shot 9 months ago!

And how can you said that David JUST plays the right notes?! I don't think you watched much vids and lives from David. These are very good arguments...

I know you don't hate him, I'm just sure you envy him.

[punkbassjack]

I don't get you wrong, it's just a word to all of you. And I know he's playing since 2006. That's why I he could work on his sound etc.

Who said I just watched one vid of him?

I don't envy him, I even don't envy the best players of the world. If I want to be as good as the best, I've got to work for it. Envy wouldn't help.

I didn't say it was a bad cover, read the message again. I said: Not too bad though.

You think I'm a bitch ass bass player. You just prejudge me now. Not very good arguments.

[fantinmoreno]

when you say he should work on his sound, and when you say he just "play the right notes", sorry but you mustn't have watched a lot of his vids.

Of course envy doesn't help, but it's possible to feel it when seeing such a young and talented musician and seeing that he inspires a lot of bassists, than to come pointing this sound thingy and try to minimize his talent. It's pathetic, because you KNOW he is amazing, not just "not too bad".

[fantinmoreno]

Didn't pretend you're a shitty bass player, just saying that you're not good enough to critizice David like that. And I don't see anything that could show me that I'm wrong about that...

As you just said it, you have to work on YOUR bass playing and stop criticizing bassists that are more talented than you.

[punkbassjack]

Sorry, but the only one who is minimizing and critisizing somebody is you. You don't even now who I am, or even the way I play bass. So shut up about that.

Excuse me when didn't say it friendly. So let me do it again.

Hi David!

I love this song and the bassline is great to play, you played it well. But I've got a few things to say.

First,I think you're sound is a bit too sloppy for this funk song.

Second, I think you're playing too agressive, maybe relax some more. I've got the same problem.

[fantinmoreno]

Dude, I can't minimize your playing as I NEVER saw you playing. So in this case, I won't say I'm wrong 'cause nothing proves it. But we agree that it's useless to talk about that.

And dude... you can make fun of it if you want, but the tone of the comment changes a lot of things. You just erased the "it's not like that, it's like I tell you" impression, and that's important. That's one of the things that pissed me off.

[fantinmoreno]

Still, his fingering isn't aggressive and he shows it in a lot of vids.

That's why I have the impression that you just watched this vid and threw a "horrible sound" comment.

The way you first commented didn't sound like a help AT ALL.

[NotGoodEnough09]

hey I think that David can be(in the future)one of the best bassist of all times, he's very talented.But man,if I were David I d like that ppl help me to be better,and I think that Punkbassjack is just giving to him an opinion in order to help him to reach the perfection(david is so close),however I cant read the comment that he did so maybe he looked like a fag, but in his other coments he looks respectful

[punkbassjack]

It's a comment on THIS! Video. If it was my intention to criticize him on his whole playing now I commented his profile.

[n00bz0rpwnz0r]

dude r u serious hes only been playing since 2006? hes only got a year on me(year and half tops depending on when he started) and im not half the player hes is. i feel like a nub. please tell me u meant 1996 not 2006

[futurebassman]

awesome love it

[adamtzsch]

No, it isn't. It's his fingering.

[adamtzsch]

Brave. Address the fret buzz and you'll be half-way there.

[oclero]

C'est juste génial mec! Mon album préféré de Funkadelic en plus. Tes petites variations sont vraiment funky,et puis tu joues vraiment bien le refrain, bien propre et tout, la classe!

[MileSeventySeven]

kickass bro

[mosorix]

[CrisRocksUrSocks]

[falstaff49]

tu es trés fort. Combien de temps joue tu quetidiennement? vas-tu a l'école?!!

[3bassclef]

[Inc0mpriis]

Vraiment un bon groove on le sent dès le début de la musique et j'observe tes morceaux depuis quelques temps j'ai remarqué que ta fluiditer s'améliore et tes morceaux deviennent de plus en plus bon bravo continu dans cette voie et surtout méme si je sais que sa ne traversera pas l'esprit n'arréte pas :P !

[bassman959]

[3bassclef]

[ghido91]

how many basses do you have?! you don't need all them! geve me one! lol

[theclavious]

Shit sounds so fucking good man...good.

[PepinoMichoacan]

Tu grooves! J'aurais vraiment du choisir un manche en érable, ça fait une vraie différence sur ma musicman T__T

[PapaEdenMusic]

Is this played by Larry Graham in the original?

[bremsnix]

i think it was bootsy collins;)

[rhcp824]

no way! he was great, but only played for sly and his own band.this is possibly bootsy, i think he joined later though and this was still their original bassist.

[punkbassjack]

It's Boogie Mosson.

[petitchien2004]

tu pourrais te laisser pousser la barbe

sa cerait vrm hot!!

[urbanninja29]

i can like manage it a bit slower >>

[soumarosca]

hey man, do you have msn ? serious you play too much well =o

[neviatha]

Great track, what album is this off?.... parliament and funkadelic are great.... i'm not sure i know this track though.... i bought more parliament records when i was listening to clinton.... you can totally hear his influence on freaky styley.

[DavidSinRocks]

Thanks man, it's on the 1974 album, Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On!

[popomczowzow]

Well Clinton did produce freaky styley and was in the studio when they were recording XD

[761178]

is that a music man stingray 2eq

[Scartman691]

yes it is =D

[sean33313]

nice to see you got into some funkadellic

[WADADA1]

David your shit is tight! There's music by a group called Slave...the bass is great and I think a teen named Stevie Arrington started the'slap' technique that now separates 'funk' from junk if you feel where I'm coming from.ol' skool ....Parliament-Funkadelic, George Duke, Bootsie, Sly and Robbie....anyway i ask if you can lay down some bass lines from Slave..'touch of love' is a great track. Keith Sweat did a cover, check it out.

Peace for blessed are the singers and players of instruments.

[WalliceTheWallBall]

Stingrays are over-priced.

[AlvaroBassSide]

you're right

[tridian407]

but still great

[Rouzekii]

[bassman959]

Hi David,

I really like all your videos and the way how you improvise on them. I was wondering if there is any tab for this song that i could get.

[themainmusicmanic]

dude ur one of my heros man, if you have any tips for me please let me know

[Brendonions]

David, nice to see a vid where youre standing : P haha a bvit of movement with the beat now, youre awesome mate keep them coming!

[DarthPaul16]

If you have to say that you have never seen a live performance of anything good before.

[FlorisFrusciante]

Hey dude, you should really do a cover of the outro of Dark/Light from John Frusciante's new cd, it's not really funky but it ís played by Flea. I think it would be neat, if you make up some cool fills.

Check it out on my channel!

[SeanMaster150]

I love that bass line, but I don't think that that particular song is played by Flea.

[Brendonions]

Its been covered by Flea before though

[SeanMaster150]

When? Where? The album was just released.

[Brendonions]

Oh sorry man, i just realised the confusion, I meant that Standing on the verge of getting it on has been covered by flea before, i thought in youre first comment thats what you meant : P Didnt mean to dissapoint! But an awesome album, too bad they dont sell them here :(

[SeanMaster150]

He should still do it though. =]

[funkyfreshbassline]

Its awesome, but the credits say its john's bassline :)

but still, the credits dont mention that "maggot brain"-song is a rip off, even if its totally obvious

[kevinsmith987]

Is that a piercing on your chin?

Great cover btw

[RazyKrandomGuy]

That or a soul patch.

Funk-eh, indeed.

[vivi125]

Awesome cover :)

Cool new look :D

Maybe do a nice mohawk

like flea in few videos.. he had few mohawks.. the red one! :D

[daLom]
