Nathan Hughes' Bass to Space

[ALLdenes]

Qual a nacionalidade dele?

Qual a formação musical desse cara?

ninguem fala nada disso na internet.

melhor baixista na minha opnião o cara é completo.

[deathlyone]

the main question is, what are the guys at candyrat waiting for?

[lilsamyjohn]

i fucking love you

no homo

you the best bassist ever

[natethegreat617]

this guy is awesome pop and slap

[MrRhettster]

supurb

[Beast6Of6Bass6]

better than wooten, sheenan, and claypool.

[pitibou73]

Simplement magnifique!

[heep4]

@ericlepoutre

Ingore him he's talking a load of Bollocks, Nathan's got true Talent.

Has Nathan got a Cd out?

[ChainsawGoddess]

Nobody should underestimate how difficult it is to sing and slap like this at the same time. Maintaining two entirely different, variating rhythms whilst playing precisely, quickly and all that jazz...

I for sure can't do it yet!!!

It's remarkable.

[splatmaster]

exactly man i have such a hard time to just strum chords and sing

I remember the first time I saw Nathan (A year ago)

With the video "Glove". I had already developed a same kind of style like Nathan. This song reminds so much of my own compositions though his is so extremely much more developed than mine. Kudos to the champion. And let us all get down and practice

[speciro]

Somebody can post the music's letter ?

I'am a brazilian and can't understand all the words

=/

Anyone can help me ?

[brvsfn2004]

he is a crazily talented player but everything he plays sounds the same to me, i enjoyed it but it gets old after a few run throughs in my opinion still like to hear it everynow and then though

[DerFrischi]

most famous bands always sound the same!

[brvsfn2004]

if by famous you mean mainstream? the yes but this is by no means mainstream therefore i expect a little variation

[TiedInChains]

Try to hear the whole album at once. You will eventually get to know more of the songs and every song will become more different, although I'm hearing it for the first time and completely disagree with you

[w4lth3rp99]

Nathan Hughes=best bassist ever

[Rusty9219]

This song is amazing, even better than glove IMO, if thats possible.

[Ixamination]

nathan hughes kicks ass

and the video itself also rocks!

[drotmedeny]

I'm so much surprised I haven't heard of him before. He's a very exceptional player, one of a milion.

[mrpants16]

@drotmedeny

billion**

[NathanWin]

yeah i like him

usually i listen to metal

but i like what he does with just one instrument

at least he has the same name as me :D

[ggrushporn]

absolutely man. this gy can put just as much feeling and emotion into notes as a guitar player can... awesome for sure <3

[Kiorrik]

Here's a bit of showboating by me:

I'm so glad I can take a back seat and just enjoy what I'm listening to, instead of nitpicking about whatever the techniques are :)

Nathan is atm my favorite bass player, I think :D

[snolan80]

Amen brother!

[natansatan]

any way i can get an mp3 of this song?

[D3athCr33ps]

Personally i can fingerpick, rockabilly slap and thumb slap; funk slapping is just more interesting to play. The percussive way of playing makes the music more interesting. The bass and guitar are really "new" instuments there is no real way to play them. Tom Morello has actually turn a guitar solo into a DJ mixtable solo just using switches and pedals.

[orangetoes223]

they're not young- the bass guitar maybe- but the guitar and upright bass especially are very old.

[PhysicalDecay]

The Bassguitar is just 50 years old....Some guys play it and they are older than it

[thabasszist]

the electric bass is about that old, but the double bass (upright) has been around much longer.

[rozebabyolifantje]

true. and i'm not saying its not beautiful or amazing. i just still think slapping is showboating.

[krizalidzero]

I think slap is just a way to play, same as fingering or anything else, they're all equaly easy or hard

it depends on which you practice more, I could slap like a god and suck at fingering.....

besides this guy also sings XD

and the songs are good, it's not like it matters if it's realy hard and all, that's just the plus!

[rozebabyolifantje]

you're good, but can you do more than just slap? i mean, with all the different techniques for the bass you pick (like so many others) the slap...

but youre very talented though, and your voice is beautifull.

[MATTTHEMOP]

well ive lost count of how bassists just 'fingerpick', or guitarists who just 'use a plectrum'.

[rozebabyolifantje]

slapping is showboating. cool, but showboating. prove me wrong. not saying that no-one should do it, i'm just saying too many people do it. and frankly... i don't see many solovids from fingepickbassguitarplayers in here.

[melman]

Any word on how the CD is going? It's been over a year in the making.

[bp83400]

have you the tab of the music? please

[mrpants16]

ye really :) :P

i wanna see tabs for this

[SephirothRaiku]

YAY! I want to buy your CD so bad! Make sure to include that song Glove, I hear it everytime I think of my Bass. You are an inspiration to me! Keep doing what you do!

[Wanderlust777]

[kraj0t]

The Original video "Glove" I posted on Youtube.com has received much appreciation. Glove was a great chance for Nate to put a visualization to his skills. Down the road I hope to capture more audio/video of Nathan Hughes, however in the meantime I seen no reason not to introduce more of his song writing to you all. TO HEAR ANOTHER NATHAN HUGHES PIECE SEARCH MY NAME: ericlepoutre, The video is titled "BASS TO SPACE"
