can't play soul with a pick

[MissChandalerBond]

I've never heard a Fender Jazz Bass sound so bad

[CLASSclown011]

hes not black  he cant play soul

[giggs102]

this guy doesnt know wtf hes talking about.. lol

[RodVL]

This is not the lick.

[ohshammyitspork]

I love how his explanation is completely different from what he calls "real time." He doesn't say "and an open A in between every simplified note that I told you to play." I wonder what Marcus Miller would say....

[Awesomeman37]

flea never uses a pick for the bass

[h8thesox620]

@Awesomeman37 incredibly false. look up parallel universe by RHCP. he always uses a pick for that song

[POSIEDON9]

this sucks i can play better than that!! besides flea is the bomb and who uses a pick for bass!!

[simpsons2170]

musicians who don't follow a formula..and flea uses a pick

[Wrestlefan1]

@simpsons2170 flea doesnt use a pick all the time... he slaps a lot too

[papakyle59]

@simpsons2170 no he doesnt??? where in the world did u get that from

[simpsons2170]

@papakyle59 he's used a pick for a couple of tracks: Parallel Universe is one that I can think of at the moment , Don't Forget Me is another. In any case I don't really care.

[CloudTalking]

this was originally released by stevie wonder so the bass is probably differant shows what you know TaterSalad

[TatarSalad2]

Well, Flea really plays this with a bunch of pops and slaps so this isn't all that accurate.
