Human Nature Solo Bass, Uriah Duffy, MJ cover

[Musicsson]

Great! That's what can be caled creative bass playing. You learn from this video more than in 1000 bass lessons.

[BenBasileBass]

Uriah, which boss reverb pedal are you using? this sounds great!

[PeteONeillBass]

Hey man, great vid! Just sent over my PYT...hope you like it!

[critellene]

The best bass video on You Tube!!!!!

[LeachyPeachy99]

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite bass players of all time. Such great tone. Great job dude.

[MrBitches06]

[brockingtonk]

[giovanimarcondes]

incredible guy

[speratic1984]

Hey Uriah there is a video of you playing at the Phil Jones amp booth at the namm show L.A 2008, what kind of bass is that? It sounds amazing and even better since your playing it, but it doesn't look like a Fodera or anything I've seen. I was just wondering

[fxfole]

Can anyone guess on the effects?

[phillybass101]

Man this has inspired me to work my own thing up. I'm thinking about Can you stand the rain by new edition. I should be done by 2015 :-) Funkbro is right. This is genius.

[phillybass101]

very pretty indeed. I need to practice.

[Taiji87]

Awesome arrangement.



[erix0699]

Even the "bug" around 2'43" is nice !!! You really captured the meaning of that tune, on all dimensions. Simply great.

[mingustheduck]

i really dig that your sittin on your bed for this. 

[drummakid101]

Being a drummer, I sometimes which I could create such beautiful melodic songs such as this one or many others but, all I need is to groove.

I'd love to play you someday man.

[ocean4315]

Wow! Beautifully done Uriah. You got all the intricate parts of the the song in there.

Very nice.

[seba330]

[zombiespacebat]

@seba330 its not a fender, its a lakland DJ model

[seba330]

[MrBitches06]

Out Of All of the Human Nature Covers this one has the Title for the best one at the moment

[gtourt3220]

[hollywood526]

Lakland is Killin"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[djksolo]

[fabibass]

tone, arrangement and playing is just excellent

[FunkBro]

Genius ! Perfect ! You need to record a solo album !

[fodera14]

uriah, do you prefer lakland than a fender?

[zsazsa187]

the 2 'dislikes' only show that no matter how good u are or accomplished...that there always a hata or two lurking! LOVE UR SKILLS URIAH ROCKS!

[MrBitches06]

Refreshing

[StevewiththePbass]

ah man, that's just nice. i bet it would have sounded even better on one of your basses with higher action :D

[aki23bass]

You just made Michael Jackson cry in heaven

[phyros29]

[markdlowe]

Killer pass player, period.

[foshomodo]

I am learning this for my university audition :)

You are excellent!

[6y298]

one word - 'favorites'

[albertbox07]

bravo

[yellofury]

I wish I had your finger reach at 1:43 but If I tried that on my bass my finger would probably tear off my hand 

[MissBassDiva]

Transcendent.

[jessicamixi]

Woaaww...Parabéns...^^

[cjwilly1]

...this is TIGHT...!!! Wicked stuff.

[gjloo]

Lovely, soulful. One of the very best of many, many covers. I wouldn't even call it a cover...

[kompencer]

A clear example of bassist not getting appreciated enough... John Mayer played Human Nature at M.J.'s funeral, and it didnt even sound close to this awesomeness. And Mayer had i whole ensemble behind him.

[RAHMYULIS]

i drooled a little bit. then i almost threw my computer. that was SO good... ugh

[IdleMindzMEG]

@RAHMYULIS IM WITH U TIFF THAT WAS THE SHIT!! O_O IM GLAD YOU TWEETED THIS!!

[JamesGardner86]

ive been spending the last week trying to learn this. nearly there. tis awesome. I wish i could transcribe like that.

[RonaldMoD]

I can't help think "what the fuck is that guy doing in Whitesnake"??? - I'm shure they are a bunch of nice guys, but it can't be for the music.

[khitbaho]

very nice!! more power

[surfertron20000]

Loving this video, not many video's have me sitting here for the whole duration, eyes shut, just enjoying the music played, 11/10!

[JonReshard]

[jasononbass124]

[post2post36]

he reminds me so much of myself, just he's like 34498x better

[ManelRuivo]

Hey, thats Keanu Reeves on the bass!!!

Its not fair! he control the matrix! thats why he plays so well!!!

[LokiNTB]

Remarkable use of dynamics, it's tempting to play a song with such a good melody at a constant volume but the way how he has fluctuated it is fantastic

[MrBluesmanJunior]

Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Too bad we won't be seeing you with Whitesnake anymore, but you do your thing. Follow your heart, follow your fingers and keep working your magic. Thanks for an unforgettable concert in Croatia, 2008. (You probably remember it by your excruciating back pain, haha)

Cheers

[hahabass]

That was a real 'why the fuck do I bother' moment! My basses are on the rubbish tip, with petrol about to go on. God dyaaam! as one youTubee rightly put it.

[prosperabovehaters]

wow

[neonjunglejumper]

Thats beautiful, awesome Uriah

[agb222]

No words, Uriah is one of the biggest influence in my playing!!!!!! Keep Going Uriah!!!!

[BrunoMParedes]

Lakland Darryl Jones

[udawggy]

Skyline that someone put EMG´s in

[BrunoMParedes]

heu Uriah! When you puto some lessons on Youtube.

[RaldyV]

There's something about your arrangement that Sounds somewhat Jaco-esque at some points. I don't know what, but it's just something.

[freitaselvis]

@udawggy Hi Uriah. Good stuff man, love it. What kind of EMG are on the bass? Sweet sounding.

[udawggy]

@freitaselvis Man, I dunno

[marcosol7]

puissant !!!

[THEZWORLD]

Nice!

[LAMERFENER]

Amazing play dude! And thats my guitar too lol.

[kyleycoyote1]

[cornflakesnwater]

[stevieu83]

Beautifully done, Uriah :)

[jsutton414]

sexy dj

[alembicbassguy]

Great - I really like the reverb, it adds a lot to the overall sound!

[alexkagn]

God daaaayyyuuummm!!!

Man, that was effin beautiful. You're an amazing player. Is there a chance you could post a music sheet of this beauty on your site? That would be awesome :)))

[Almin97]

very nice!!! super!!

[ftbass]

Really nice arrangement !

Thanks for posting such videos. They just make me wanna play again and again...

[headnodic]

This is ridiculously soulful.

[pgrachan]

Your little brother blew it out in LA this weekend with Colin... looks like killer chops run in the family. Beautiful work man!

[TorysMann]

boy you know you bad!

[otago36]

Awesome! have you got some score? (sorry about my English i'm french)

[RomanAR87]

Ffff-ing Greatness!!!!

[kaueor]

fodaaaaaaa!!! d+

[rdh3t]

awesome! Love the tasteful respect for a great song, with some great fills/chops tossed in there to boot!

[ackbass]

Is that a Darryl Jones model? Great sounding basses. You can hear the fret noise at that low volume. That's the only thing about that guitar that buggs me.

Did I forget to mention that this is amazing.

[dwalmz]

excellent playing. you are a great bass player.

[dwalmz]

are you ever going to put out a solo record?

[emrehanli]

Hey all, does anybody know if that is an onboard preamp? It looks something like an Audere but I'm not sure.

[csharp57]

Duffy is hands down my favorite bass player!!!

[JauqoIIIX]

Yes Uriah, that is nice. Very nice.

[jjlwis]

duffster! i love this...

favorites!!

[MrJimiJam]

That was sick! Well played, sir.

[evhvariac2]

that's awesome

[PAF149]

your playing da shiot outta thank Lakland dude!@Uriah!!! your 1 of thee most fUnKiEsT bad ass bassist's in the industry, AND U K.N.O.W. that!!!!!!~ 1 Luv!

[mixxmaster80]

It was actually written by Steve Pocaro of Toto fame and John Bettis lyric writer given to Quincy Jones as a rough draft on cassette with just music and the why why part and some da da da da parts then given to Bettis to write lyrics in two days ! Has been covered by Miles Davis ahn John Mayer to name a few.

[udawggy]

Thanks- Yeah but It's the always Artist who's name is on the recording that gets the recognition. Believe me, I know from writing stuff on tons of sessions- and you only make as much money as you can negotiate. And there's no obligation to give a "work for hire" credit. And so it goes... Best solution? Become the Artist.

[SigDrums]

Hah! Well said.

[PAF149]

and.....YOUR RIGHT Uriah!

[buddhaluv123]

@udawggy No Miiles Covered it as well as Time after time and other pop tunes of that era.

[buddhaluv123]

@udawggy No Miles Covered it..it was Written and composed by Steve Porcaro and John Bettis

[PAF149]

true.

[buddhaluv123]

miles covered this. it was Written and composed by Steve Porcaro and John Bettis[

[neftalilopez75]

Impressive feeling and touch Uriah,I really enjoyed it,this inspires;thanx for share,light and blessings from Mexico!!!

[froznsnow]

Excellent! Love it!

[TheBadJackson]

Swagger. John Mayer is your bitch.

[phantomofguilt]

Uriah! after a while of not posting videos and then coming back with something as high quality as this! it just proves to me (and everyone else) how great a bassist you are! so much groove and soulful playing! more people need to know you!

Fantastic arrangement of my favourite MJ song, i love it!

[BBB7of10]

So much talent in just 8 fingers and 2 thumbs!! I'm inspired!!!

[jlsencion]

This is the best cover of Human Nature that I've ever heard. Very awesome! Are you dropping a CD anytime soon? Abby A turned me on to your music.

[nerdlinger92]

So are you using the TC rig full time now?

I know rocco did the switch from eden to tc.

[wildrover7]

It's too bad I left the East Bay in 2001, that was the time you were coming into your own. Your an outstanding artist and I want to wish you continued success!

[missahoney1]

so very awesome, my friend......

[johnzsk]
