"Trigger Fingers" ( fun with 18 strings ) by Eric Czar

[Snesfalcon]

You are a GOD!

[rodrigoabass]

omg u just let me :O! nice one i really love that groove!

[KongoXIIV]

Looks like some Bill Clements inspiration around the 2 min mark with your fretting hand, me gusta. :-)

[wedge171]

sweet man, extremly wonderous and wonderful, sweden say's awwjäää

[carlosloor88]

great song man! and your muting technique is pretty consistent

[Kragnorak]

I LOVE the left hand tremolo technique you have for the bassline after 2:00 - always great to see chops and musicality combined! Bravo!

[barolol]

John Myung from dream theater and YOU!! are my maximum inspirations on bass

[dwilson343]

I'm curious how you liked playing with Joe B.  I watched that vid and it just freekin blew me away.

[swisswuff]

two remarks. (1) when i listen to this on my car stereo (regular subaru impreza) the moment @1:08 the second bass seems to open up --- wowoweewa!!! blows you right back, what a TRIP soundscape wise. what an ingenious and enjoyable piece!! (2) due to disability i play bass left handed only - so i do watch with great interest how you work your first (second?) string with your left hand starting after @1:49 .. not just that it sounds sustained, but there is a structure in sustain/decay. GAWD!!!

[moho69]

Wow! Very amazing. You're a very good composer.

[STIYE101]

Do you use any effects on the 7 string? And do you add a high F or a low F# when going from a 6 to 7 string bass?

[ManochonARG]

You are my inspiration! Greetings from Argentina!

[ThatDangGingerXV]

Incredible..



[budsteppah]

that fretless's got some pick ups

[darklordbaf]

So not into this music, but this is very good

[BigDDe]

Eric Czar is the best bassist you've never heard of!

[poeticwarz]

WOW! This is composition is bad ass!!! Definitely going in my playlist. Thanks for sharing Mr. Czar!

[DiminishedTB]

Do you know what this is?

This is Playing Bass

[Bjouesbijou]

this is so fucking cool

[LanOsb133]

What effect pedal are you using on the 4string?

[bulletbill18]

BASSISTS WIN AGAIN!!!!

[DevilMan38]

Your playing defines the word 'awesome'!

[MTObsidian]

This is amazing. As a bass player myself, you are such an inspiration to become better so that someday maybe I can be such a great bassist. Keep up the incredible work!

[jfm2567]

I used to call myself a bass player...at least for the past 40 years...Now I'm not so sure that I would make that claim after watching all the EC videos...fantastic !

[jekof4]

I think you could chop down a tree with those fingers.

[mOrtpengu1n]

Wow...three finger left hand technique. I have seen it all. Allow me to throw away my bass guitars.

[dsolo89]

if anybody could play an 18-string bass, itd be you, cuz youre just ridiculous.....



[mrownagelol]

Wow, that is a amazing, hopefully you'll influence more 15 year old kids like me XD

[jdub0765]

you are awesome, Brah. I have been playing bass for over 40 years. Grew up playing some of the older styles (blues, Motown, jazz etc) But YOU, my friend. You have given me incentive to pick up my axe again and try to do some of the incredible stuff you are doing. Kudos, Eric.

[Senzor364]

may i please have just a little of your talent?!

[8BGP]

Je ne laisserait plus personne qualifier la basse d'instrument d'accompagnement... Vous devriez figurer parmi les grands noms de la basse ! D'ici quelques années peut-être !

[MangixThePandaren]

If you had a band, i would come see you in concert =)

In France =D

[caesirian]

Excellent! :D

What's your record setup?

[junolavo]

Impressionante.

[erix0699]

Sure we like it!

Can you tell us what effect you're using on the first part.

[ProgMom67]

Wow.. awesome :)

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Just wondering how you make that back ground kind of organ effect?

[ericczar]

wow! thank everyone again! feel free and message me here, at Facebook ( look for the logo ) or "ericczar.com", where all the specs for everything involved are listed on the "Gear" page

cheers!

[MrShake77]

Astounding! I'm defretting one of my conks for sure...:)

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@MrShake77

DONT DO IT!

Buy a fretless mad to be fretless theres a huge dif!!!!

[hawkeye5897]

Wonderful! Idea, concept and technique, all superb.

[wesselbindt]

18 strings? Obscene.

[robinvdsande]

Fantastic piece of music, especialliy thevtapping around 1:50 which is just awesome. Great video, thanks for sharing all your work !

[Zander4724]

very cool!

[AtsuiSakugackt]

That's an awesome piece!

[rage1331]

That tapping thing at 1:48 is mind boggling. Is it one of those things that looks harder than it is or...?

[AtsuiSakugackt]

@rage1331 I guess it just utilizes multiple fingers to tap a single or couple of frets, sorta tapping tremolo, ain't that hard to achieve. Just got scary looks :D

[Unexpaix]

You make me proud to have the name Eric!

also envious of how god damn'd AMAZING you are!! thank you so much for the music.

[StopTheMoti0n]

i was a bit disappointed that there wasn't actually a 18 string bass, but the surprise of how great the music actually surpassed that

[whisperingdoom]

SICK! as per usual - great video editing too!

[6ckbass]

Whoa. That was cool!

[MrToony678]

Again I will trade you my soul in exchange for your bass playing abilities

[ericczar]

thanks everyone so much for watching!

[JauqoIIIX]

That is some of the nicest bass playing on a recording I have ever heard on youtube.

[bluesvalerio]

Excellent. You are the Godfather of BASS!

[guitarDouchebaggery]

aaaaawesome

[Evgene666]

awesome melody!



[srcraig]

Awesome. Brilliant. Did I mention awesome?

[Nileschannel]

Beautiful! Great composition!

[baronvonsatan]

I like it, but I'm not so sure about some of those effects. *shrug* To each his own.

[zantic1967]

ERIC RULES!
