Michael Benjamin Bass Tap Solo (Imagination's Past)

[Jonworganbasscovers]

Some of that reminds me of the Angry Boys theme

[Jacksonblake26]

this is beautiful!

[halogamers]

Awsome dude...This could be a Zelda song :)

[stoked87]

@halogamers sounds like something from Majora's Mask

[PROGNUT777]

nice job mate

[vanackerethijs]

cool song man

[boringwoodson]

sounds really good man, and yeah it does sound like something that would come off a final fantasy game. nice job.

[Uraegos]

It reminds me of Final Fantasy VIII a bit, and I've not sure why. Absolutely beautiful. Its a calm between storms.

[dewinmoonl]

i can never, never get tired of this song

so loose

so warm

so uncertain

yet comforting

hazey sunny day

tinge of cloud

fuzzy yellow

powder blue

[clancywiggam]

Very nice

[JackDavis16]

is that like a hairband or something youve got to mute the strings?

[SuperMegatron9]

You are a musical genious! You should get a symphony to back you! Or at least a couple violins and cello!

[timbobandtom]

heywhat do you call the thing you have on your fretboard like a capo

[thruthewall]

@timbobandtom just a hair band or something similar to stop strings buzzing after tapping on and off i would think

[FouadT92]

Love it.. sounds a bit Final Fantasy-ish :D

[mattisabitch]

you gotta throw some tabs out there, i love your work

[bluetoothmark]

what bass is this? looks lke a 35" scle bass. which make? love the tone, its ideal for slapping!

[fryBASS]

Peavey Cirrus 5

[xvenom12x]

its like a semi-sad song played at the end of a video game

but VERY good keep it up man, im a subscriber =D

[MusicianManDave]

i think it sounds like its tellin the story of sum1 who has suffered a tragedy and is tryin to recover

keep up the great work, iv only recently started to tap on bass nd hope to be as good as u one day

[allskillage]

makes me picture some girl sad and looks up at smthn that makes her happy. that sounds fairyish but w/e

[sidesane]

i hope you have a record lable, if you dont you need one, ive listened to quite a few of your songs, and they are all very original. You also have your own soumd=awsome

[DeadHaveTakenMySoul]

reminds me of a past lover

[BlackSoulRock]

that's so amazing, men!

[maelz]

Nice music man, reminds me of happy times long gone :-)

[Ampedhans]

it reminds me of the videogame the legend of zelda... don't know why, cause it doesn't sound like a tune from it... but it does..

[abacacus]

this does sort of bring up a shady past type feeling. your crazy at writing this stuff though.

[drdranem17]

you think you could possiby tab this?

[Ramutho]

awesome men.. do u have an mp3?

[Zander4724]

really beautiful!

if anyone has a minute, check out my solo bass piece:

tapping and harmonics solo bass - epic love

[mitomaniac]

Beautiful song, man!

[bassyguitar]

sounds great man, love it

[wolfwood777]

I kinda thought of a beach ina Tim-Burton-style movie, with the colours almost drained, and at the end of a cliff lives a thin, almost dead looking man who stares out at the sea from the top of a light house... Seriously

[master2873]

lol you have one hell of an imagination you can put that to good use try asking Mike to use his song and make a music video with the help of some people cause with an imagination like that i can only imagin

[Gavnerman]

sounds so awesome i think of a tim burton film mostly

[swagar]

Definitely my favourite feeling for a song. It's like a sort of optimism to dark and sad stuff. Basically what ClaudioIsGod2113 said. I must say, your videos have impressed me more than any other bassist, with both skill and writing.

[dougdougdoug456]

Is that a penis inlay on the 12th fret?

[blakkmage]

I think of legend of zelda (wtf?)

And a fat kid running on a big beach and falls into a big sandhole and shouts: DO'H!

[ClaudioIsGod2113]

i like this a lot, it has that tim burton-ish feel you mentioned in the explanation. i like the semi-down feel it has, like the happy ending to a sad movie.

[Unexpaix]

cliché but when I hear this song I picture it as a good peice for a tragic kind of scene in an RPG style video game, such as final fantasy. mainly since the main theme is repeated. but it really has a good feeling to it! good work!

[loungecruz]

machines rusting

[QueadBass5]

all your videos are amazing

[Akaymay]

just stopping by to show the love. nice work dude!

[darzy1630]

wow, amazing technique, much better than me for sure... jejeje (as if i played like that) keep playing, that was great. and nice song by the way.

[stonyzrbz]

really reminds me of something out of Edward Scissorhands awesome job man

[Magichandedace]

I could TOTALLY picture that in a Tim Burton film. But that was beautiful man! keep playing : )

[ballpointmusic]

very nice. i'm using a peavey bass too. feel free to have a look to my videos, i've just uploaded a tapping solo called "saptaka".

[KongoXIIV]

Hey nice. Do I hear a backing track coming from them 'phones? Like strings or something I swear...Very nice if so, very nice if not LOL...maybe it's my imagination...

[maelz]

Great tune!

[youwah]

Wow, that is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life. Great work. I really don't know what I thought of... kinda left me in a daze. great work.

[ParabolH]

i think it sounds a little bit like a horror movie...change a couple notes thats a freaky song.

[RHCPfleaMS]

There's something magical about it I think, really great!

[InstantActionHero]

It may sound cheesey but it sounded like a man walking back home after a long days work. Jacket of his shoulder, the sun just setting, almost like a beer commercial. Once again, props to pulling it off perfectly.

[wiibasslife]

i never got to hear peavey cirrus yet it sounds super nice

[highinoneeye]

this reminds me of minimalist composer Phillip Glass. awesome stuff man

[wahlpage]

thiws gets me thinking of like an end of a game, like finalfantasy or something like that

[cheetosfreetodorito1]

souds like a creepy but happy thing that tim burton would make... good job.. also sounds like something for/from Edward Scissorhands

[vic2587]

Reminds me of those really emotional video game cutscenes like the Zelda - Ocarina of Time.

Good stuff.

[thequietrebellion]

fucking amazing job. Two gigantic thumbs up dude

[jjoel90]

awesome and yeah final fantasy but ...yawn!!

[matthiasss]

Its like..Majora's Mask infused with Final Fantasyy

Good stuff!

[jaronismedontforget]

Reminds me of some magical creature that's made up of a combination of Danny Elfman, Jaco Pastorius, and a little Nobuo Uematsu. Nice =D

[Dreadrick]

i agree with everyone who said final fantasy lol, though awesome stuff!!!i like it.

[backupcd]

super mario underwater world .. sounds almost like this : )

[kcriminal009]

sounds like a piano...sweet...more of this..

[etha909]

Well.. I thought of a hidden land of unknown creatures beneath thick white clouds, really green grass and sparkling red wild flowers. Or, final fantasy. =)

[robertlillo]

Clean Taps with Concentration and a Bowl of Cleanness!!!

[Kawn1]

mario's underwater level in mario 64 pops into my head.

[Gwiynher]

[Icedsoulz]

omfg final fantasy !!!! man

[spacedogs]

[Nebroth]

jupp, final fantasy it is

[bassfreeker]

What kind of strings are they?

[Humble4Magnificent]

Final Fantasy pops ino my head..

[Zezah]

holy crap. you play bass so well. i wish my brother could play like that. then when he practices it wont sound like he's just hitting random notes.

[VengefulTikiGod]

Very pretty. Gotta love those #11's.

[frogswallop]

That solo's fucking top, you classically trained or are ye self-taught?

[koooookalo]

Wow, this is amazing... Great work with all your music! I'm working on improving my tapping technique like this, any advice? Oh, and would you be so kind as to provide tabs?

[BigBroMike]

Blue meanies from the yellow submarine movie running in a patch of peach trees.... im burnt out also so lol

[arnarCJer]

amazing! i like it alot!!

its very danny elfman sounding! very dreamy, not very dark, but very " im floating thourgh lighting in purlpe and gray clouds but i dont care" tpye of feel. i really really like!

[ArtexyourSinking]

i love it people are saying tim burton i'm thinking something from FF7

[jimmyaka]

deffo! nail on the head!

[zygoose]

sounds like the night before christmas

[chicosanchez]

sounds like sumthin that came out of a tim burton film. its still rely good though

[Reiver]

If you ever made a CD.

I'd buy it.

:)

[xxKZ343xx]

Makes me think of like Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantisy, just some deep RPG of some sort. Exelent work by the way, I know how hard music like this is to play, you must have lots of valume to produce such a sound. Keep it up, you never fail to touch me and influence grows every time as I listen to your beautiful music, you should make an EP of just you, I would buy it.

.:KZ:.

[rocker700]

how would you know, you gay nerd. have you ever seen a girl at all or do you like guys.

fag!

[xxKZ343xx]

That wasen't aim at me now was it?

[TotalBassCase]

That was entirely unecessary. What is your reasoning behind such an asinine insult?

[kello32]

i thought of final fanasty games and wellpretty much any rpg worht palyin good job u inspire me

[fangshaw]

feels like after youve been dumped or rejected

[kidslacker]

its not dark..its gloomy..or maebe foreboding.

[caitlinduh]

What pops into my head? Making sweet sweet love to you, that's what!

Dang boy. Amazing.

[euromk1s]

very dreamy. nice.

[jimmyaka]

is that a peavey bass?

[dustin4332]

It's definitely dreamy and at times dark, but not really dark, hard to explain. Anyway that was really good. Are you a professional musician?

[motoxchamp321]

i love it man,i tried tapping,but i suck at it,

[thompsonm1a111]

you dont just 'try', you gotta practice

[ProtoCosmos]

Makes me think of someone doing yard work like raking leaves in October at the beginning of a suspense thriller. You can write,I really enjoyed listening to this

[phantomofguilt]

dude this is great!

it reminds me of rpg games like breath of fire

when all seems well but a disaster is just about to happen

[jimmyaka]

yeah its like the final fantasy music when u wake up or something

[KrisShred]

sounds dreamy, not really dark.

great work!

[TotalBassCase]

This reminded me of music by Enya, but the FIRST thing that came to mind was a dream I'd forgotten, a place I'd forgotten... thanks for the inspiration, and reminding me of my Imgaination's Past.

If you EVER put out a CD, I will buy it. TWICE.

[Storvick]

What pops into my head? Maybe someone with a dark-ish past or a sad childhood and they're kind of in a depressed mood because they've been reminded of it.

[scruffy350]

That's really good man. Is that a Peavey??

[abbamax]

thank you for post!

[granpaclockeater]

awesome thank you! please nobody talk shit about this peice of art!

[myung89]

beautiful

[cdboyer]

good melody, nice transitions and most importantly, very clean!

[crkempton]

from this angle he kinda looks like jack black...

[Lenoar]

I think the same as Domesta =)

Really cool ^^

[AoxomoxoA]

Reminds me a bit of Twin Peaks...

[Domesta]

I thought of zelda. Great work.

[Dragonrocks]

It reminds me of The Corpse Bride, and Nightmare before Christmas

[fryBASS]

it reminds me of this PS1 game i have that has this space level and it kinda has music to it almost like this.

and it also reminded me of the game Kingdom Hearts.
