Watermelon Man (Original, then Funk)

[WovenUnicornSweater]

Sadly, tho he sounds like a litle bit of poo, the trombonist gets the feeling and playing of Jazz and funk the most right of all you guys, hes just playing what feels like the right thing to play, it comes out crap, but its almost the right atitude ;)

[billy676767]

and the trombonist is shit !

[billy676767]

these guy should not play music. maybe soccer?

[droctoganapus41]

Wow, great job!

[ferz4004]

ouch.my soul hurts after 5 seconds.i know cos im in pain.

[IEATGLUE33]

Vanilla Ice Cream Band should be your name

[R0b1zzle137]

I was thoroughly disappointed by lack of emotion from ALL players. They look like they are in math class, or maybe doing this against their will. When they broke into the funk part it COULD HAVE BEEN awesome, key word(s), could have been. That shit would've been so heavy if these were soulful black dudes (thats a joke by the way....actually its not)

[jamminjeff8566]

Well I say pretty darn good for high school kids, keep learning, keep growing and spend as much time as possible playing in front of people. Who cares what models or makers of instruments they're playing, at least THEY are playing and not sampling popular music, ranting nonsense over it and calling themselves musicians, or artists... Keep up the good work boys, don't let negativity stand in your way, because that's either immaturity or just plain 'ol jealousy !

[Gammodore]

but keep at it!

[Gammodore]

lots to learn though

[Gammodore]

not bad for high school kids

[juanskank]

its sad to read a lot of negative comments towards HIGH SCHOOL KIDS! When kids spend time in music its a positive thing. No one is born with feeling or the right notes, that takes years to accomplished, just ask the great jazz masters. @zdsong don't let the ego-maniacs bring you down, keep working hard on the group and the tunes and above everything enjoy music 'cause music is life! "Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself." Miles Davis

[GingerTomProductions]

the trombonist is shit

[MotorMax66]

"Nice" experiment on the F scale... ><

[waltercito47]

OK, I'm a 64-yr old white guy, roots in blues and r n' r, after many years in Miami, a budding conguero - sadly, these guys don't have a clue about playing latin music. It's ain't about no technique, guys. It's about the FEELING.

[letzmove]

Wow talent ready to burst out to be GREAT....!!!! keep going boys you've got it

[comedymedium]

wheres the music?

[GiraDragonAus]

dude where is the groove? the fun!?

[VVildDrive]

Little jazz fan with fork rocks! %)

[pomomom]

u guys aren't feeling the grove, ur just playing the notes u have to have some meaning behind them

[djbot]

@pomomom u figure thats what you get with a bunch of crackers. they have no soul. and the guitarist is using an ibanez and playing power chords. THESE GUYS SUCK ASS

[AakwardAardvark]

@djbot agree about the sucking but not about the crackers... its kinda demeaning cuz so many white people have soul.. think about all the great white jazz composers.

[djbot]

@AakwardAardvark fsho fsho i feel you. but im talkin about crackers. not whites.

[AakwardAardvark]

@djbot ya i agree i mean if u feel the rhythm and enjoy it it cant be bad but these guys just tryin to hard

[beckhamshotz]

@djbot Wow you have just confirmed my belief that most "niggas" are even more racist than us "crackers". Sure these guys kinda suck but there are many amazing white jazz musicians. Buddy Rich for instance. Best drummer of all time, hands down. I suppose I should comment about how all black people are as pathetic as Lil Wayne. Oh wait, I'm not really racist. Good day.

[PickUpYourLighters]

@beckhamshotz >>"My belief that most 'niggas' are even more racist than us 'crackers'".

>>"I'm not really racist"

Read: I'm not racist, but I take peoples skin color as an indication of their own racism.

[beckhamshotz]

@PickUpYourLighters I used the skin color indications already set forth by @dhjbot . I wasn't even going to bring up that point if he had not acted like a sixth grader who just learned to cuss

[djbot]

@beckhamshotz who says im racist? im just playing off social stigmas. just like pretending not to notice color. when it's a thing

[georgo342]

@djbot WAHHHH HE CAN'T AFFORD EXPENSIVE HOLLOWBODIES AND HE ISN'T PLAYING MINOR 6TH SUS 2 DIMINISHED 4 CHORDS

cry more you dumb nigger

[Berserkedy]

@georgo342 1. hollowbodies are 300 bucks. i bought mine for 120 and it works fine.

2. not playing the right chords breaks the songs feel. shut up.

[georgo342]

@Berserkedy If your guitar was 120 dollars it's shit

don't beat around, it's bad

There is literally nothing wrong with playing barre chords in this song

the pianos playing all the jazz chords anyways

[Berserkedy]

@georgo342 if you consider an epi casino shit you might want to reconsider.

[georgo342]

@Berserkedy Yes, i do consider it shit

come back when you have Gretsch

[Berserkedy]

@georgo342 come back when you know how a song should be played.

[georgo342]

@Berserkedy I never said this was good, i was just saying there is literally no need for the guitarist to be playing any jazz chords because the pianos doing it

he's just highlighting the bass notes

shit you're dense

[djbot]

@georgo342 LOL are you stupid? do you even play guitar. the bass and piano hit the roots, and even if the piano isnt the root is for the bass player. the guitarists should be doing other voicings and inversions

[jamminjeff8566]

@djbot post something better then, little boy ( I can only assume you're a little boy by your childish comments, either that or like most of your ilk, you have an 8th grade education ).

[SuperBonjourno]

you have got to have some respect for them though. I'd normally see these guys these days trying to pay rubbish chart music

[3Dudelsack3]

great

[Simonbrisbane]

Good fun guys - a Herbie classic!

But why the hell do I play it in G !?!?

F works so much better!

[3y3p0pp3r]

way too much treble on the bass guitar.

[takkifan]

@3y3p0pp3r agree



[Simonbrisbane]

@3y3p0pp3r

Dude I couldn't even make out the guitar!

[JollyBard]

I like the kid eating watermelon

[MrGuitarman234]

Your Trombone player aint foolin' man. great job :D
