Funky Thumb Groove #2!

[Timok67]

I Kurt, how long have you been playing?

[brunnerdudes]

(Claypool, Wooten, Jaco)

[KurtSandford]

hahahaha =D

[delaiMo]

your technique is a fusion of marcus and victor! really good man

[KurtSandford]

Yup, that's what i grew up listening too =D

[SigDrums]

Amazing man, lovely groove! Honestly, how old are you? Your talent is way way superb!

[KurtSandford]

I'm 17 :)

And thankyou!

[nzbassplaya906]

fully sick mate...keep it up :D

[lbushkovski]

Right on, Kurt. It's been a while since I stopped by. Only thing that's changed is that the groove is deeper.

Kick ass

[coulsonsam87]

you are the man!

[sickdiggitydog]

Nice. You used your fingers. Great tone...always jealous...

[Slappington]

Sounds Great Man! Is there any way you can adjust your lighting and your angle of you or your camera. The video is really dark and I also can't see your left hand. I do love the sound though. Keep up the good work.

[KurtSandford]

Cheeeeeap webcam.

Camera angle is my fault though.

[chadvillar25]

Man! I've been watching this over and over. You've got some killer groove seriously and your lines are very funkaaay!

[chadvillar25]

I've been waiting for this one! This is soooo groovy! And your control over the double thumbing technique is superb. Amazing man!

[KurtSandford]

[spukymyk]

cool groove! =)

[FluffyWagglekins]

Have you ever played with a drummer?

[KurtSandford]

I have, i'm aware of the timing and so on... but this is a solo. I can groove with i drummer if need be. :)

[FluffyWagglekins]

I think a solo should groove, too, but that's debatable I suppose. In any case, good work but good time is essential for any working bassist ;)

[KurtSandford]

Hmm, well funky thumb groove 1 might please your ears more than this one then. :)

That one was dedicated to making people tap their foot. This one i admit is more fast licks.

[FluffyWagglekins]

I'll certainly take a listen :)

If I'm not mistaken, most of your vid's have been solo; it would be interesting to see you play in a band context at some point. That is where a bassist really shines, IMO.

I'm also curious as to what your goals are as a bassist: Do you see yourself fronting a band with bass as the lead instrument, or would you be happy settling into a more traditional bass role and being in the background?

[KurtSandford]

I would love the role of a rythm bass player, a busy one though, but i wouldn't tread on anyone's toes. :)

[FluffyWagglekins]

What do you think of MarloweDK, for example?

[KurtSandford]

He's pretty much a perfect bassist...

[FluffyWagglekins]

I agree! :)

[br00m35]

once again another great vid 5/5

nice to see a new vid :)

[KurtSandford]

Thanks man :)
