Let's Work Slap Bass Jam Pr*nce NPG

[mattdog1982]

This is just great. In one way it makes me want to pick my bass up..... On the other hand it doesn't!!!!

[jonannlou]

@mattdog1982 do it mate, you can only improve on this!

[Thrakomatic]

too much

[cavstony]

very nice

[jonannlou]

@cavstony thanks! I've done better, but it was fun to do. check out my latest videos for better quality audio and playing

[gaming0wiz]

best cover of this song!

[jonannlou]

@gaming0wiz cheers mate, its not my best work, but good fun :)

[gaming0wiz]

@jonannlou it looks it!! do you happen to have any notes for this song?... all there is is tabs and they're poo and i'm not too good at 'chunning into' a song

[jonannlou]

@gaming0wiz Hi, the basics of this song are very easy, I'll see if I can do a newer version and slow it down a bit... There are a few instructional vids for this on here I think :)

[Drac2001]

Awesome Bass Jam..Your really good

[jonannlou]

@Drac2001 cheers mate, it wasn't my best, I'm thinking of doing a better one soon :O)

[FuzzyHaskins]

Jesus man, chill the fuck out for god's sake! It's supposed to to be a tight and solid GROOVE. You need to learn what the electric bass is all about. It's about laying down the most solid basslines you cant to make the music sound better. It's not about soloing your stupid ass off. Play the fucking bass!!!

[jonannlou]

@FuzzyHaskins read the title. It says SLAP BASS JAM.

[jamesdammit]

@FuzzyHaskins because you can do better?.................get laid, smoke some weed, get hair replacement, a penis enlargement, buy a Porche perhaps?!?!? BECAUSE only a person who TOTALLY HATES EVERYTHING ABOUT THEMSELVES would launch such a tirade without proving what they themselves can do talent wise with the same material.

[jonannlou]

@jamesdammit cheers mate :)

[MrPintofmilk]

@jamesdammit shut up !!! its clearly a groovin bit of fun, perhaps its you that needs the sex and pot instead of bitchin on peoples jams... terwatt

[jamesdammit]

@MrPintofmilk you ignorant Douche I was defending Jonanlou and verbally bashing FuzzyHaskins the talentless Anus that originally went off on him. If you don't read and can't comprehend. BE QUIET an repeat the 1st grade where reading comprehension is taught... Jonanlou did a great job and unless you can prove you can do better me or anyone else should simply STIFLE themselves.

[jonannlou]

@jamesdammit cheers mate, its not my best work, but a valiant attempt and a jam :)

[basskillaz]

he did a great job!, and im hard on alot of people when it comes to bass,but he nailed it!

[jonannlou]

cheers mate! This really isn't my best work, I was just jamming along with a bad sounding bass! I'm more of a Mark King style player (but not as good of course!) but I have listened to Prince for about 20 yrs now! My version of Sexy Dancer is a bit better, so take a look if you like!

[basskillaz]

unfortunately everybody and their mothers is doing the mark king triplets,quadruplets and the basic double thumping, and it is just played out!!

[jonannlou]

I agree, but MK is so much more of a player than that, people just seem to pick up on a few of the known tricks of his... Some of MK's finger style playing is amazing!

i also started as a drummer, so playing the way I do just seems the natural way :)

[basskillaz]

i agree with you about mark king he is the man!!

[rocbotttum67]

Do you ever cover anything by Bootsy Collins?

[jonannlou]

I'm yet to cover Bootsy, but theres a couple of songs that I'm tempted to have a try at :)

[rocbotttum67]

My bad man!!!!! I see you already covered that, and you played the hell out of it F U N K Y!!!!!

[jonannlou]

Check out my other Pr*nce covers too mate, Sexy Dancer came out ok....

[rocbotttum67]

Ok dude.......It's official. You've got major skillz!!!! That was truly enjoyable. If you do requests, I would love to see you cover the song GLIDE by a group called Pleasure. I bet you'd play the hell out of it!!!! Keep posting, and I'll keep wishin I could play

[jonannlou]

seen your comment on it already - cheers :)

[boiwon]

Oh!!! My!!!! Goodness!!!!!!  Man that was fucking AWSOME!! I loved it.

[jonannlou]

thanks alot!  Just jamming to this classic :) Check out my other vids too ...

[chromokosis1]

cheers!!!

[jonannlou]

cheers, this was just a bass jam (as most of mine are!!) so I never really just play the striaght bass line, and like to try and put my stamp on things - right or wrong!!

Glad you enjoyed this mate

[PurpleFunkLover]

[jonannlou]

thanks purplefunklover, I probably jammed a bit too much on this, but its always good fun!

[raneishag]

[jonannlou]

[FYRFOX198]

This is a conspiracy, you can't be that good.....ha ha ha......you slapped the shit outta that bass.......that was badass my friend.....and I'm a Prince fan also......keep on slappin'.......!!!!!

[jonannlou]

Hi fyrfox198,

Wow, thanks for the compliment, check out my other Pr*nce vids too, Sexy Dancer came out ok :)

Thanks again - I'll never stop slappin!!

[Pure2006]

10/10... your best video imo. and your bass sound suits this song. absolutely blew me away.

[jonannlou]

thanks again, the main bass line is pretty simple, so thought I'd have some fun with it!

Glad you are enjoying what I'm doing, have a look at some of the vids with the red/black bass, it has a bit of a better sound, though this ibanez is a great fingerstyle bass

[clixer1]

the shiznit. Thats what we used to say back in the day in new york for awsome!

[jonannlou]

thought it was yiddish :) Cheers mate

[clixer1]

Ihave to post one more time, in the middle and towards the end you were getting down like you were really feeling it! it shows man you certanly can funk!

[jonannlou]

Hi Clixer, yes, i got my funkface on! It's one of those tracks :) Glad you've enjoyed this mate

[clixer1]

I have to say somthing else. because of this i'm dusting off my bass and going to attempt playing again!

I still have the stank face on! this version is the shizit!!!!

[jonannlou]

the basics of this track are pretty easy :) Sort that out and let the funk flow!

[clixer1]

yes yes yes yes yeeeeeeeees! thats what im talkin about! this is the bomb! i got the stank face on and i cant stop it! keep on funkin man you are the shiznit!!!!

[jonannlou]

shiznit? Thats one word I've never heard hehe! cheers mate for the kind words and compliments

[mikec393]

The Artist himself would be rather pleased; you've inflicted me with a case of the funky face, yet again! Great job!

[jonannlou]

thanks Mike! Got round to this track in the end :) Will do a more polished version soon though ! Glad I've inflicted a funkface upon others hehe

[newfunkboi]

HOLY SHIT J!!!...this is the best YouTube version out there..but with a name like NewFunkBoi I might be a little biased...once again hats off to doing justice to Mr. Nelson..and to top it off we get a little taste of Annie Christian at the end (that's what she said)...once agin friend nice job!

[jonannlou]

hehe. hoped you would like this mate!  i like biased!! a bit off annie at the end - shows I have the cd's :)

Really glad you enjoyed this, tried to give it a bit of ommph (as usual) - and its been a while since I did some NPG...

Thanks again for the kind comment

[DamonUK]

[Tygaboy]

[jonannlou]

cheers tygaboy, glad you are enjoying what I'm doing :)

[phonebook45]

awesome brother! 5/5! did i see some victor wooten style in there?

[jonannlou]

Hi phonebook45 - glad you liked it! There may have been a little of his influence, but more of a Mark King thing going on :) Thanks for the comment - check out some of my other pr+nce tracks too
