Check out Victor Wooten, an Amazing bass player!, it will help your playing tremendously. Les Claypool is not bad either but he sticks to a lot of open slap and triplets. Victor Wooten will blow your mind.
nice man, that was really good dude, 2 of my favorite songs of les claypool are tommy the cat, and the awakening, ive been playin bass for like 8 months, and i can get mostly both of those songs untill it gets to the reall crazy solos
Great vid. Ive been playing bass over 10 years -different styles - and i still can't get that primus-esque slap technique down. Maybe its because of my big sausage link fingers lol.
Thanks! We had only been practicing together for a month by this time and we started working on this about 2 or 3 weeks before the show. Hopefully we'll be better for Battle of the Bands, but the material is going to be harder.
My camera work is amazing... The camera wasn't jumping due to lazy camera work, it was jumping due to the combined amazingness that is Captain Muskey's Bass Boat and my camera expertise.
Woot woot. I screwed up the intro more than I thought. and we were rushing a lot. And my bass drum beater fell off halfway through. And my cymbals are terrible. Gah!
Said tommy the cat is a real back clear water what ever foreign matter may have nesteled int ohis mighty thraot, many a fat alley rat met his demise while starring point blank down the carrnivorous barrel of this awesome prowling machine, truley a wonder of nature this urban predator, tommy the cat had many a story a tell, but it was a rare ocasion such as this, taht he did, bick a booooooo, bedu badu bedu ba (and so forth)
This is me, the guitar player and main vocalist. This was an interesting night because I was sick with some killer virus that gave me ulcers in my throat and just about gave me a sinus infection. I was nervous and had a slight fever, so there are some flubs, but I'm very proud of this performance!
"tommy the cat is a flumbidmfmbmgmddksl of his mighty throwntmsdnf" haha ace. hats off to you, you did a realy good job.

Well executed man! That's pretty cool that you guys got to play that in front of your school or whatever.
Your guitar player actually sounded alot like Tom Waits (Tommy the Cat).
Tommy the Cat is a pretty tough bass lick to play on stage. Good job dewd.
