Advanced Bass Guitar Techniques : Playing Funk Bass Lines

[TropicalLimaBean]

This is so bad it's hilarious! You get my thumbs up!

[DBSbass]

You want to know what I just learned from this lesson?........advanced means mediocre

[thebiljacobson]

just watch his mouth when he plays

[zadamainia08]

I couldn't hear the bass this sucks

[zadamainia08]

this guy has no skills at all

[phantomofoaktown]

this is hilarious! thanks for the laughs bro lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thebatmankills]

Im sorry.. I thought you said Funk bass lines...this is shit bass lines, wrong genre dude.

[rikkimytikki666]

wtf this guy needs to learn what advanced is cause that....was pathetic

[xermus]

wow.. this is not funk at all. what the hell are you doing? you have no business making videos.

[showtimed23]

lmao wat type of funk have you been listening too?? was that suppose to be lowrider you were playing??

[Dukk88]

This is not funk.

[sbb29]

i just threw up in my mouth...the metro sounded better

[egatx]

What kinda Techno bass line crap is this?!?!?

[egatx]

This Foo needs to go get lessons!

[gotart1234]

.... raggae is on the up beat, not the off beat, fucking retard. Also funk owns the shit out of raggae so don't insult by comparing the two asshole.

[ynnadnnyl]

@gotart1234 If you knew anything bout music you would know that the upbeat is the off beat

[eloisesookhram]

dude maybe you should stop talkin over the top, stop playin bass, stop, lose the mormon shirt n tie combo too

[UchihaXsai2012]

horrible sound, and horrible player

[windxwind524]

put down ur bass, its cryin

[MrGul]

Please explain why you consider this an "advanced bass guitar technique" and how you became a "profesionall bass player and teacher" – I'd like to see a list of recent (paying) gigs as a bass player and also your "Master of Education" diploma from the music academy you went to (or similar), thanks!

[doylelia]

mate...who told you that you look good/sound good with a bass.

[Freekicker8]

guys, maybe he isn't the best.. but he made this video to HELP people, i guess just for free! so keep it quiet please....

[tremendous0820]

noob village...

[FunkySpunky91]

wow that is the shittiest sound ive heard in a while. just nasty as hell

[Zee1198]

This kind of defeats the whole concept of Expert village.

[HH003]

'" expertvillage " my ass.....can someone hack that account and delete it!!

[jester1992]

@LucCole88 dude i agree hes terrible but dont slag off jazz ! hes just a prime example of someone who 1 thinks hes better than he is 2 has been taught badley and 3 is so closed minded that hes scared to do things that he hasnt been told work !!!! ive managed to become a bass player in a really good band without lessons !!! haha give you more freedom for experimentation

[earthwormtom93]

haha! look at the face on it! XD

[tsaklanos98]

OUG OUG

[mrn0name123]

WTF!

[LucCole88]

This is evidence of how many jazz band nerds don't learn jack-pittily-shit outside of class.

[Wayavas1337]

@LucCole88 this has nothing to do with jazz

[crocopbraco]

i am twice better than you and i am still terrible:)

[twillightsSunrise]

everyone is hating this video but after all it is from expert village the worst place to go for advice in anything anyone could tell you that. Beginers do not listen to anything expert village says

[shroomwhistle]

Dude stop posting yourself teaching/playing. Helen Keller could rock harder than you on bass. Fuckin Homo.

[RazorEater1]

Tape wound strings....seriously?

[breese1]

what a GREAT sound lol ahah

[succubusch]

dedicate yourself to another things. teach is not four you

[BlackmetalSM]

It looks like that guy is getting is ass fingered while he's playing bass.

[jtsloth]

You are the reason people think white people don't have soul.

[juanamador2]

imbecil completo

[Caringosto]

soplapollas

[basssheasd4]

I LIKE MY FUNK WITH HOT SAUCE !!!!!!!YOU HAVE NO HOT IN YOUR SAUCE ..FUNK IS A STATE OF MINED WITH TIMING ....

[essna]

man those carvin basses do sound horrible... change bass man its not helping you at all.

[Marlowann]

"In particular that a lot of things involve offbeats."

Umm... What?

[publicatdamagnificen]

WHAT THE FUNK?

[epicnessincarnate]

@ekul785 it isnt on youtube but they did do a song called lowrider. search guitar tabs for it.

[vmrmuhyt]

advance lessons...

right...

¬¬

[rottenapplez]

is this a joke? hahaha so terrible

[seepark12345]

dude you are not funky really not funky stop makin lessons

[SimulacronX]

The hell is this guy doing?

Non-musical, non-teaching

[epicnessincarnate]

0:53 FUCKING FAIL! that wasnt a popular funk riff, that was lowrider by ZZ top.

[killjoy287]

sorry buddy low riders by war not zz top.

[epicnessincarnate]

zz top did the original version and war copied them. i prefer the top version, it has a cowbell =D

[Audiobrasil]

yep, i need to agree....that was good NOT

[Rawlyboy77]

*facepalm*

[Adytum]

you suck

[bgj122]

well, you don't really have to be a 'bass player' to teach bass scales, nice bass though, just put some steel on there leave the nylon for fretless.

[salvadoredelle]

Nada!

[punchinthedolo]

the lip pursing... what a joke

[SilentLD]

Yeah right.... for a moment there you sounded like you knew what you were talking about. Probably the worst (without exception) bass demo I have ever had the misfortune in seeing!!

[SilentLD]

And I add - what a prick you are! My cat is more an authority in advanced bass techniques than you are!

[ThatIDoDid]

i'm gonna vomit

[billcode7]

Advanced!?!?? I could slap my ding-ding (penis) on the strings and it would sound better than this...  It's all about tone brutha... and skill..

[Widdemdkhalid]

sexy....

[fabfabyen]

what?

[Hiarch123]

Fail

[SR1000EFM]

black strings?

[ozarka110]

he prob spray painted

[mrfingers69]

black beauty's i think they are nylons

[BBFOGingerNinja]

nylon strings... yuk -_-

[WhatAboutJazz]

Don't mark something advanced unless you know what you're talking about.

[jmdiltz]

are you playing thru an amp or a wet napkin?

[SuperBurton89]

@jmdiltz no he's just using plastic strings

[rokkerr99]

i dont think thatz 4 advanced players

[birdland75]

What is this? is this 4 advanced people???

[WildFranz]

It's a joke???

[fateupagainstyourwil]

i think so. i mean wtf is he doing with his lips ?

[dudelike89]

Not really advanced, but still useful to the new bassists.

[GotLakai686]

Kinda sounds like "Low rider" by War ;P

[Muffinman1118]

You can have a funk bassline without playing on the and beats.

[Idoitforthelulz]

i dont like the strings. black is cool but ive played on nylon and its not so grand

[MikesOnTheRoadToZion]

agreed.

[redbarchetta619]

also if you dont learn how to count rhythm first you will NEVER learn how to feel the right rhythm

[redbarchetta619]

if you post a negative comment on someones video and dont have your own to show how much better you are than them, you are clearly an asshole who doesnt know what hes talking about

[mrcoffeekiller]

Wow, where's the logic?

[AliGlenUig]

I see someone stating not ro rail this video as its aimed at begginners. TUBE! it says advanced at the top of the page. and its not exactly advanced.

[youfreakinghippie]

You're way too white to be playing this.

If you need to know that you're playing syncopated, you shouldn't play funk. Or bass. Or music.

[gleventhal]

Why is it that those who leave negative comments NEVER have their own videos, or at the very least never have videos of themselves performing the act they are commenting on? I'm curious, it seems to be a hard and fast rule on you tube.

[youfreakinghippie]

because I don't have a camera. Nor do I feel like wasting my time teaching random strangers.

There's plenty of REAL funk on youtube already. You just need to look up Marcus Miller, or millions of other bassists like him. Don't waste my time.

[janpogo]

"Advanced Bass Jazz Techniques: Funk Bass Lines" WTF that's not advanced, nice bass...not

[fsbassist1]

thats not really even funk..technically maybe, but it doesnt sound like it

[landar73]

Worthless

[canvoodoo]

bullshit dont count it feel it or it will end up sounding as shite as this guys playing

[Shaun9316]

Nice bass

[jasperisreal24]

DOUCHEBAG

[casyburnsed]

Weak? These are videos for beginners, its not here for your entertainment. DOUCHE.

[wxb200]

[maximu8899]

[xort029]

[united4us]

[RogerWatersColon]
