  • Bravo good sir

  • larry graham Jr.!!!

  • WOW! what would make this even better... if you weren't headless. love it anyway.

  • amazing talent

  • I have that bass :)

  • Haha, Uriah is the shiz tho! Chops and style for days, bringing the bass the forefront where it should've always been!

  • AWESOME.

  • still my only fav'd youtube vid.

  • Holy crap, I get so inspired watching this video! You're fingerstyle is amazing and expressive and creative. Absolutely love it. Slap is of course great too, but we all know fingerstyle pays the bills. Am I right, guys?

  • I Agree! Bollocks to what 'Joeymcme' says, knobead.

  • you brounght the funk

  • dude you're awsome

  • that is fuckin amazin full stop

  • SPEECHLESS

  • Talent.Respect.Amazment.!

  • are you serious....oh my gosh!

  • Nice, I barely can make that on my guitar. God, I want a bass...

  • Respect.

  • Man that's some serious bass playing! I just went to a Marcus Miller concert last month

    and you can almost hang real close!

  • udawggy don't listen to that guy. youtube is a place to share, no matter who you are.

    love this video. leep it up.

  • Man I didn't say anything about sharing, I was saying I didn't believe it was really Uriah Duffy, so I see that it is I said I was stupid, can we move on ?

  • That's no dude on Youtube! thats some Pro Player.

    I mean give me a break!

  • What is "Pro"? I've gotten gigs sometimes due to a combination of skills on bass and business. Then again sometimes I sit home jobless trying to hone my craft, getting nowhere. Where do U draw the line as to when someone is not supposed to use youtube? There R players all over this site that can feed me my own ass! If this wasn't such a great forum of inspiration from great players I sure as heck wouldn't be hangin around. We're all in here together - in the middle, inspiring and being inspired.

  • Wow, its nice to see a guy of your professionalism be so humble. And inspire beginning bassists such as myself. Thanks.

  • @udawggy I believe this is the most cleva thing i've been reading on YouTube.

    And not to mention your vid is killing :) Thanks twice then.

  • Of course he's a PRO! He's Uriah Duffy, Whitesnake's brilliant new bass player. So YOU give ME a break, CaptainBassic, and start practicing your instrument instead of making foolish comments. Uriah started picking his bass from zero just like anyone else who plays an instrument does. Way to go, Uriah!!! I'll be your translator at Whitesnake's press conference in Peru. It'll be my pleasure to shake your hand.

  • for starters I am not trying to be famous and also I do practice and I play in a local cover band,

    all I was saying was I was surprised to see suck an awesome player here on youtube and I thought it was someone pretending to be Uriah, also I didn't need your insults on a personal level but I guess that's the kind of person you are.

  • My apologies.

  • No problem, I did sound stupid with my original comment and Uriah is amazing and also Whitesnake is one of my all time favorite bands.

  • beautiful sound man, and awesome playing! what strings are those? btw, thanks for theaching me that song!

  • DR's, All the way baby

  • cool ver cool^^

  • great!!!!!!!

  • SUGOI!

  • What a great sound man! Now i can play this righteous song too. Thanks! I'll put one up soon once i figure out my new webcam

  • hey nice playing man !

  • Very nice......there is no denying the sound of a Fender Jazz Bass, and I say this as a drummer.

  • oh my fricken god.

    i wish i could do that.

  • Practice :P

  • Groovin' better than original.

    Big hand same as original.

  • duuuuuuuuuuuude

    you are killing that bass!!!

    AWESOME!

    uriah..you are a pro

  • thank's for that... xD

  • is that a fender jazz stock?

  • this is amazing

  • Oh my fucking god. That's the stuff wet dreams are made out of. (Well, the girly kind anyways.) ;)

  • A lot of the videos of POW on youtube seem to be slightly different... and I honestly don't know which one is the "correct" way of playing it. But I like yours... so I'm doing it the way you do it. Thanks!

  • disco version:)

  • Great stuff dude!

  • you can't be human.

  • You are superious slapper, but why you have to show your middlefinger..

  • Lol!!!

  • I caught Uriah in San Rafael Ca on 6/28/07 at the Fourth St Tavern, playing with Surreal,, I got to watch him & Sanford do about a 3 hour gig doing nothing but laying down Improv Funk.. You A Bad MO FO Uriah,, by far the best in the land...

  • Your tone gave me an erection for the first time in 30 years.

  • 1337

  • flippin me off and showing me funk at the same time.

    you got it.

  • killed by your funk!

  • I love your tone it is outstanding

  • that was amazing! i can't find the words to describe that impro and that technique.god it was awesome.i watch it everyday :)

  • Youre a total freak dude.... i still cant close my jaws... ur da man dude... FUNK!!!

  • hey!

    that was a nice impro!

  • If only I could get my fingers to move to pluck the strings like he does.......

  • Greatfull and Powerfull...

  • That's amazing! love the tone too!

  • o.o wow

  • very cool.

    I want to become like you.

    Though the guitar and the base are inexperienced...

  • wholly mowly, that was frickin incredible! Great job beating the heck outta that bass.  I love Larry Graham! Thanks for the videos. Subscription added.

  • This is amazing... I've got really long fingers too, so I thump like that too :).

  • where did you learn to play that song? i cant find anywhere to play larry graham!!

  • The Album.

  • do you got any tabs for POW?... i love that song, but if i try to learn it from hear i will spend a lot of time

  • Mate that is wicked bass playing. I know some great Bassists but that was phenominal! Keep it up. Now play Hair!

  • loved your VDO! check me out : the Bankrupt Bassplayer, peace, Brother1

  • damn dude bad ass cliff burton can suck ur dick

  • STOP FLICKING ME OFF!!!!!!!! LOL. Nice man. Keep it and don't listen to anyone trying to bring you down.

  • I have no idea why I thump like this. I'm half Thai and gots long fingers- maybe it's just in the way I guess. Just posted a new vid- peep it and tell me what you think. Peace.

  • I remember him saying that it was a MIM Jazz. And it got stolen at the loading dock at one of his shows =/.

  • pow indeed

  • p e r f e c t

  • Totally solid! Congrats.

  • sooo good

  • That was some nice slap. I agree i think it was as good Response.I look up to you.

  • Holy crap. You're amazing! Sadowsky or Fender? ;-)

  • Wow, that was awesome man. Bravo. Wish i could play like that! I like the solo stuff too! How long have you been practicing?

  • I love how he's flipping the bird the entire time.

  • damn that is really funky stuff

  • O_O

  • He was doing well but couldn't hold back the pointless amateurish wanking. Too bad. Stick to the groove...d00d

  • I've made a career of sticking to the groove. YouTube can be a place for anything and everything else for me! ;-) The Bass has taken on more of a role in recent history (20+years is recent compared to other instruments), and can be used for all sorts o stuff.

  • How long have you been practice to play like that ... ?

  • u dont have to be practicing for a certain amount of time go ahead and just starting picking it up today

  • Hey man I dig your technique! I have two questions though. What drum machine were you using and what kind of bass is that? Look for me on youtube in the near future! I plan to lay down a small portion of my repetoire! Keep thumpin'

  • i might be able to answer one of your questions, about the bass. its of course a jazz bass but im not sure if thats a fender, it could be but it could be a lakland or a sadowsky aswell. i think he also has a j-retro preamp too or a j bass preamp of some kind

  • I can usually tell what the make of a bass is by looking at the headstock but I couldn't see the headstock on that video. I think your guess that it was a Sadowsky was pretty much what I was thinking. Good looking out man! Later

  • holy crap. perfection be damned that's fun

  • BADASS!!!

  • This dude can thump! I've been playing bass since 1977, cut my teeth on Larry, so I know "thumpin" when I hear it! May the Funk stay with you!

  • Yeah mon pote, t'as le groove !!!

    Peace

  • Pretty amazing! congrats!

  • just...amazing

  • Funked it right! Deep respect!

  • Ummmm why only 28.6 years later???? One-key dinkering went out with the disco era.

  • Get a life , ya jealous ?

  • Deadly groove, to be sure! Very nice, my good man!

  • Funky stuff - yee haa!

  • You are a monster player, that was a rad video. Is that a Sadowsky? Benaventee? Valenti? You really nailed the Graham tone.

  • fuck yeah, larry has groooove mate

  • that was amazing! inspiring...

  • yeah! hair... nobody knows that one...

  • PLEASE record this again with a better camera. Such magnificent talent deserves a better look!

    Beyond excellent.

  • totally SOLID

  • dear god, im amazed, thats incredible, i rly need to improve my left hand technique, are there any tabs for Pow?

  • Uriah, It's cool seeing some of your clips on youtube. Keep up the good work!

    When are you, Chris Clouse, and Brandon going to do some reunion shows in SF? The many shows I got to see were awesome.

  • Ungodly good.

  • That walking solo is frickin awesome.

    Keep the groove dude!

  • WOW. Been trying to get good tabs for that song but I've only found one and its not good at all. but yeah that was awesome and was that some freestyle of your own at the end?

  • larry graham r0x

    :)

    grate slapping

  • When i try to play some easy slap bass, i just do not manage to get control. When i see this i think about inventing some sort of pick-slapp-bass-sound technique. But no.. When i think about it twice, im going to put the next ten years of my life into becomig as good as you! =]. If thats possible.

  • Is there a tab for this song?

  • Dude if you are thinking about looking for a tab dont try it

  • We would smash together. My goodness

  • Oh my goodness, you played with The Coup. That's insane. I realized that once I saw your full name. I love the Coup. I was considering doing this song for my school's talent show, but I need to pick the CD to get it down first.

  • wow.. good playing! Hmmmm, have been searching for the tabs of POW. Anyone kind enough to email me a copy if ya have? guitarsiao@hotmail

  • anyone who says the bass is not as hard as the guitar is an idiot.

  • yep yep, guitar is so much easyer in my opinion (ima bassist)

  • lol lol and lol!! u r the idiot ;p hahaha!

  • I hope you get paid professionally for playing, because that is unbelievable!!

  • one of the best riffs ever!

  • nice sound. Cool, but the humm of the composer's sound is not present. Still it was kinda cool. The challenge (among challenges) is playing "Hair."

  • in the zone!

  • i play the guitar and seeing things like this almost makes me drop it and grab a bass hehe :P gotta train my funk guitar so i can keep up with that. amazing skills man, 10/10

  • awesome!!!!

    You have got mad skills, and great advice on the listening, TAB is a crutch that can get in the way of real learning

  • ncie work. i dig the solo especially

  • yeah great on the guitar lol but some advice...get a haircut lmao!

  • auch what a style. shakeing and playing at same time wow ! how old is he ?

  • awesome job, man!

  • wow its so awesome

    how long do you play

  • My website has info on that bass

    -UD

  • Legends are passed down through story. Kids learn to speak not by reading books, but by listening. No more TAB requests! One will NEVER learn it that way! I don't mind sharing and showing anything I've learned, but TAB? Someone show me the result of something they've learned with tab. It's always crap. LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN! -UD

  • best advice...ever!

  • real talk right here... outside of the speed it takes to play the song itself, the actual fingering isn't too difficult... if you have the song listen to it slowed down.. as far as what udawggy added... good luck.. lol

  • ^^ was meant to be a reply on the tab request

  • exelent

    were can i get the tabs

  • WOW , great palying Uriah

  • Wow, amazing.  Best bass video i've seen on youtube. Very funky, i love the solo part. What year/style is your jazz bass?

  • you gotta play the open D string to E the second time you do the D to E riff. Great sounding bass

  • You are absolutly right! But when I do that I can't get the next D to E immediatly after it to sound right, so I fudged it. Keen man, keen ears! You caught me wit mah Fonk Down!

  • nice playing great job

  • Awesome playing, - can any1 tell me where i cud find the tab for POW because i can't find it anywhere on the net... and i've had this bassline in my head for aaaaaaggggeeesss!!

  • Very nice playing. Is that a SAD you're playing??? I'm thinkin of buying one.....when I hit the lottery.

  • wowww... my GOD! No comments! Good job!

  • What bass is that your playing?

  • Nice playing!  (:o)

  • hey great playing probably one of the best sent into this site. I've been playing bass for 2 years and love it. there is no tabs for this song can you tell me where to find it? Thanks keep posting more vids!

  • Wow....that sounds awesome! Great job!
