@OverduesBassPlayer I just played the newest model at the NAMM show and it's better than ever. Lighter tuners and a whole new pickup design. My only complaint about the older version was the pickup... but they totally revamped it..... It sounds amazing and it's solid as a rock ! Check it out !
a for effort ,but the record is playing and i don;t believe NOONE can imitate that original guitar play .... whomever played the original instruments need to TAKE A BOW .......they can't be imitated ....
god love the bass. i learned it from my dad. i jam to this song. nice playing well actually you sound like my dad playing (compliment) he played in the opera house.
However I confess the excellence of black musicians but You're very wrong if you keep that only black people can play cool funk basslines and others anyway! By way of example the bassline of Chaka Khan's "I'm every woman" was not played by a black bassist.
I have just started playing bass and was looking through some covers to learn and oh boy am I glad I stumbled across you man! I remember seeing one comment on a James Brown cover and how he only wanted nothing but excellence and boy do you have it! Thank you :)
Yo, son. SWEET bass, yo. I'm feelin' your playing. If you were playing live somewhere, I would be compelled to throw down on the keyboards. Without a doubt. If you EVER play in the U.S., post where. I'd pay money to see you play. Peace.
i have a very physical way of playing also..i think we all hear and feel things through our body differntly...im not a big fan of flea even though he can play very well..but flea is a perfect example of not being able to sit still and play...if it works for him and h is hitting the notes and is in time let him play away...he will figure things out as he gets older just like you and just like me, either way this kid sounds great, love his covers, makes me smile cos i was like him 20 years ago.
Bon, ça fait plusieurs vidéo que je regarde toi, et c'est pas mal du tout...
ça me donne envie de prendre des cours, parce que moi, bassiste autodidacte, j'ai encore beaucoup a apprendre, pour esperer arriver a ton niveau... Mais bon, j'arrive a faire quelques truc quand même :p
please tell me your english ??? we need a bass player for pour band we have asked about 30 people but they are already in a band .... do you live in england ???
Nice job!!!! Watchin you play has helped me learn the song. So thanks!!! I have one question, where did you get your tabs, or did you just do it all by ear?
For a French guy you're playing the bass pretty well.. If you're not.. Then you sucked by recording this song.. It's the easiest song to play on a bassguitar.. Then you should record Sir Duke, also easy but a bith harder then I Wish,,
Desole mon Francais n'est celui grand. J'ai laisse' une demande de MarloweDK et te demanderai la meme chose. Si vous pourriez jouer veullez 'Smoke from a distant fire' par la bande de Sanford Townsend. Je suis un batteur experimente' mais mes qualifiactions basses sont intermediares. Je voudrais apprendre cette chanson.
J'sais pas si t'es vraiment français mais, merci beaucoup! Si jamais j'ai même fait une 2ème vidéo de cette chanson, regarde dans les réponses vidéos! ^^
Ah g completement fo je me sui trompé de personne par rapport a un autre commentaire que je t laisser je pensé ke tu été kelkun dotre g juste mal clicker sur un profil, Bref ce que j'ai di reste tout de meme dactualité ne tkt pa!! Vraiment jkiff cet chanson et tu as su garder le groove donc chapeau!
With your finger walking - lead with your index on the strong beat and follow with your middle. Lift your R wrist away from the bass, then you can move your whole arm/wrist/fingers across the strings faster.
i like this song, even your technic is kind of weird, to much movement when you can make it easy and smooth, keep working , practice and attentio will make you better player every day
kool cover i love playing that song really easy though check out mine it is a easy cover and shitty sounding but check it out and tell my what you think
fuck david can i have the tabs? i know everything even better than you but i dont know 1:32 part ....=[
