@Thegiacobass ummm the sterling classic didn't come out till 2010, this was made in 2006 (trust me I remember seeing this that year), its just a regular sterling. If there is foamy things on it (I don't see them on it) it just might be an old one
Is Flea the best or what! For all you beginners out there check my video's where we first play hump the bump with octaves for getting the feeling right! It really helps improving your rhythm and technique!
he's like what? 46 years old played since he was the age of 16, it's not entirely impossible ;) I started at the age of 16, turning 18 in august, somehow I wish I'll reach a point where I can improvise like him. love the chillies, looking forward to a new album!
@MooseHunter911 well i knw now that the video lags at the ened xD but yeah hes a monster man, and improvising haha thats only a fourth of whats makes this guy huge. ive been playin for 2 years know and improvising seems to be all i can do(thats a bad thing) its like i have a musical disorder. this guy can sit down and make MUSIC. while all i can do so far is sound cool, this guy IS cool. his composition skills, talent, energy, and love for his job are what make him so huge. so far i got 1 down
@4stringFanatico musical disorder? theres no such thing my firend! practice makes perfect and beeing cool has nothing with your musical talent to do, it's about beeing yourself and doing what you like. and what do you mean "so far i got 1 down"?
@MooseHunter911 xD hahah its true man! i cant sit down and try to make a riff. i just have trouble with it, its hard for me, i ended up doodling. or worse,make sumthn, and then forgetting it. but watev, and i didnt mean cool as in looks, but in havin all four. Talent, Energy(presence, mojo, watever u wana call it), Comp. Skills, and Passion. i seem to just have the passion and some talent down. im confident in my skill and crowds dont scare me so il show off and crap shamelessly haha
@MooseHunter911 i feel no shame in having the spot light. u wana give a solo? cool, just dont be pissed if its better than yours haha(not YOU personaly, thats just a scenario), and i love performing live. its the greatest feeling in the world. the day that i start performing only for money is the day i stop playing bass. of course i wont say no if im getting paid, but i dont do it for money. but i kinda look boring up there haha, and like i said, i cant make shit, i just doodle realy well.
@MooseHunter911 so technicaly, im only half satisfied with my musical ability, but like u said practice makes perfect and that the only remedy for me right now. Flea and many other musicians have all four. they dont neccesaraly have to be famous, but to have those four traits are sumthn that i strive for.
@4stringFanatico we all want those four traits but it doesnt hapen over night, just keep doodeling and having fun, I can't realy make bass lines of my own, sometimes I just end up with a fun one, after playing a whole day or so, guess that'll evolve the more you play,
@Maraaken not a technically hard one, just requires memory and practise it. Has no hammer ons or whatever bassist call them, just note by note, i encourage you to try your best
haha i totally love these guys! they make me so happy. i'm just really, really, overly, anxious about their new 10th studio album next year. and honestly, it would be fucking awesome if their new album has the good ol' pepper funk sound. fun times.
