Flea bass solo with Chad

[90Mrbasha]

what is the name of this solo plz???

[PH4NT0M71]

tabs ?

[fortheloveoftunes]

Like da "farting-funky" sound effect .-)

[kingt784]

it sounds like a synthesiser

[MORGAN1992FREEM4N]

@kingt784 its not its a DOD envelope filter

[Wumso]

ist always hard to say who ist the best. For example i really like claypool and flea, but i can't stand wooten. It's all about if the music gets you or not.

[rhcpalex93]

yeah, there is the live version somewhere, its sick.

[wowprogamer1]

Type

Flea using envelope filter on YouTube and you will find the FULL video.

[BucketheadLV101]

Toejam & Earl all the way

[theninjutsumasters]

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!! I saw in 2010 3 people disliked it YOU GUYS ARE MESSED UP!!!!!!!!!!! How can you not like this!!!

[Thejupitergames]

I did this once, then i woke up :( I wish i could play like flea.

[easypeesylemonsquezy]

@Thejupitergames ahahahahaha crack up, I wish i could play like that too, if you do, give me lessons lmao

[glennp77777]

Sooooo, P-Funk,. But NOT! Thanks Flea!!!

[SweetKooshy]

[J30Fehn]

not much to say...

just...

oh...shit...

[kornjfdm]

3 dislikes = 3 retards

GO FLEA!

[LaGulaDelNorte]

0:55 love that!!!!! 

[shanedizzleee]

To those who think this is fake: Look at the interview Flea has with River Phoenix, he plays it live.

[Damo207]

@shanedizzleee I dont think anyone thinks this is fake.

Its obviously flea and chad.

[shanedizzleee]

@Damo207 I saw comments with the word fake in it, assumed people we're saying this was fake. Sorry! :p

[TheNezLee]

i like this song

[Dugger1997]

Does anyone have tabs for this song?

[Ihascandygetinthevan]

ahhh why does it have to be a comparison always? they're both godly

[r0gerwaters]

underwater sound in name of this song

[boilingpoint3]

best bassplayer alive

RIP cliff

longlive flea

[jakedelgrande]

i got a wah and just playing with it is so funky i love flea

[ElPaulito63]

Flea master session !! =D

[rightsideupband]

I don't see how anyone could NOT think Flea is the greatest bass player who ever lived.

[Rafescow]

Sorry...

Victor Wooten.

[S0NiCCCCC]

@Rafescow flea and victor wooten are without a doubt in classes of their own...incomparable masters of the bass =)

[Rafescow]

yea that's true :Da

even though both play funky music.. lol

[HeadbangingLiam]

hes nothing compared to flea when you think about it

[Dessyman18]

@rightsideupband Victor Wootens a little better

[DVPaustralia]

@Dessyman18 not really a better out there, just different styles really

[Dessyman18]

@DVPaustralia SOMEWHAT different they're not completely different but the both compliment eachother, wooten is more technical, flea rights more entertaing funky stuff, the both have good and bad its just an opinion really, i just think wooten is a bit better technically, flea could out play him live though

[DVPaustralia]

@Dessyman18 respect ur opinion, but have to agree with wooten being more tech

[Mythe66]

@rightsideupband

Bootsy Collins? This is basicly Flea doing what Bootsy preached

[cannibalonXthedead]

@Mythe66 hah yeah. i remember watching the VPRO documentary and flea was saying how he basically "copies that shit all the time". bootsy rly influenced him

[Dust0fNation]

@rightsideupband

lol the best bass player.. check out John Myung... Flea is nothing!

[herchimer]

@Dust0fNation

Myung is just technical that's it Flea plays with his soul.

[yomammaonastick]

@herchimer maybe i interpreted it the wrong way but flea said he dosnt know shit about music theory Myung does his bass solos are just tapped scales im not saying thats easy i cant do it but thats the main difference between the two

[pppoichops]

@yomammaonastick flea was a prodigal trumpet player before he ever picked up the bass, he likes jazz and he owns theory.

[DaFilaedschen]

@Dust0fNation

Myung uses 6-string.

Flea uses 4-string.

That says everthing.

[taufoofar]

@rightsideupband I agree, he's great. But at the same time, it's because they watch Victor Wooten, instead.

[SirFluggy]

@rightsideupband beacause there greater ones in the jazz scenes and so on^^ but he is surelly the best rock base player! love him^^ anyway is defenating "the best" a impossible thing in music because everyone is different and good at his way^^

[rhcpalex93]

wow almost 20 000 views

[ncblackbelt]

Its because this is baddass

[nillyvanilla3]

this guy is un-freakin'-beatable.

[chillraph]

You can't fake the funk.

[OLYMPUS7MONS7OFFICAL]

paiste kicks ass, bitch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sphincter7]

I'm diggin the funk.

[leprechuan6]

dude just learn it by ear. that's how i learn errything.

[RaineNation]

Music Man bass through a dod envelop filter into a galien-krueger head into a mesa cab

[ehtarzan]

Can someone please tell me what cymbals and drum kit Chad is using...

I really need to know!

I especially love the cymbals...

Please help!

[kevermanslap]

i think he uses a Pearl kit...but im a bass player and know nothing about drums so i could be wrong

[funkrock94]

Pearl drums, master series

Sabian cymbals, AA rock series

[JackassKing95]

not all are aa rock cymbals but most of them are and he actully used zildjians back in the day

[funkrock94]

smith has never used zildjian

[JackassKing95]

check out the suck my kiss video on top of his hats u see a K on top which means they were zildjian k high hats lol

[funkrock94]

it was the cymbals of the studio i think, bref he always uses sabian.

[JackassKing95]

yea i guess though possibly in the beginning of his drumming career he liked zildjian but then switched over to sabian but proably liked those hats so he proably used to them for sessions and stuff im guessing

[yaheli4204]

also at a 1989 show in amderdam you can see smith playing a a sonor kit :P

[rhcpkzi]

he used to use yamaha

[bentaylorwyatt]

ahhh dude. sickness.

anyone wanna work on tabs with me for this??

[KyleUnwin]

i want to help but i think we need someone else cos i tried but its very hard

[bentaylorwyatt]

3 people? haha

[KyleUnwin]

what sort of setup/effects has he got going on here?

[Deathmaker2354]

Envelop filter and maybe a Wah pedal.

[redhotbrazil]

so Amazing!

Flea & Chad the best!

[iratevidscuzicool]

Flea is tuned in E-flat right here, it sounds so fucking good.

Flea does good jams in lower tuning especially E-flat and dropped D.

[jukka144]

Flea is the greatest bass player.

Ever.

[sparky3690]

this is a bad ass bass solo

funky

i hope i could learn that one day

[fit2fly]

I think he's embarressed to say his graet example was Marc King!

[thebiglebowski2317]

fleas the fuckin man. he's the reason I love bass

[LeamDelaney]

Wouldnt expect anything better, from Michael Balzary.

[GarethVonGrim]

flea has the skills tho so its not taking advantage hes just showing the worl that hes one of the best liike for example herman lee or someone like that

[Wrig90]

I agree with you, except for the part you referred to Herman Lee as one of the best guitarist :S That dazzles me, he just plays repetetive fast power chords. If you want one of the best go for Yngwie Malmsteen.

[KanuZankoro]

Naw, Buckethead.

But no, the point is, Flea rules and he is my favorite bassist.

[VxValerio]

The bass is an instrument with a great potential, but just a few bands like RHCP want to take advantage of it.

[vicwootenisgod]

wat u just sed makes more sense than anyting i ever heard r thought

[VxValerio]

It's the truth as I think..thank for your comment!

[wrf1111]

exactly! everyone thinks that it just has the capability to be a backup instrument! but in reality, it can do just as much, or mabye even more thatn a guitar!

[VxValerio]

there's no doubt about what you say!

[piff235]

that is sooooo true thanks a lot for that comment it got me thinking

[VxValerio]

You're welcome!Music is discussing and thinking too...
