[TheMadmystic]

Flawless technique- makes like SO much easier. The band is damn good as well.

[TennysonKeiser1985]

[TennysonKeiser1985]

The Name of the Album???

[fre4dflame]

OMG!!! This man really knows how to play a bass!!

[MrAlloy70]

just simply amazing bass player.

[muppetpastor79]

this dude is incredible

[DJHLimtz]

Encore un excellent musicien français expatrié pour cause d'incomprehension dans son pays natal... Remarque, pour jouer avec Uzeb, il a quand meme bien fait... :)

[Tmidiman]

Just found out about this guy. Great stuff!

[clewi1091]

Great drummer too. Not a big kit either.

[Ry42Back]

Amazing stuff from Alain playing his six string and making it look effortless.

[leonrodr]

Demais!

[mightywaffle51]

I really love how once the rest of the band joins in with Alain, it's perfectly seamless. It just works in the way music is supposed to work.

[augustocmi]

TOCA MUITO......

ELE É 10!!!!!1

[WelcomeToZomboCom]

GOD HANDS

[JoeSzilagy]

touring with Mike Stern right now! Imagine listening to those two for a couple of hours- bliss!!!!

[GaryNull]

I've been a Jeff Berlin fan since 1977, and heard of few

Alain Caron things on youtube, . . but Jeff basically ruined

anyone elses chance of me liking them a lot, like I do Jeff.

Alain is an amazing player, no question.

But Jeff's playing kicks ass. Period.

[ibobdown1]

@GaryNull Try opening your mind to other artists you retard!

[gustavoraimondo]

excelente!!!!!!

[Kathmandu1970]

Raise your hand if you'd like to see Caron team up with Jeff Beck. I have to believe it'd be jazz-rock fusion out of this world! This cat smokes it!!!

[musicrobusto]

@Kathmandu1970 he's in Frank Gambale's trio which is fan'freaking'tastic.

[Geeljasjes]

Thank goodness there are still guys playing this type of fusion.

[ICOMEOUTSMOKIN]

That is one french canadian bad ass bass playing mother fucker!!!!

[bassicallybass]

anyone know what effect he is using?

[rmns1234]

@basicallybass: Sounds like he's using octaver and autowah on his upper strings only. His big split-coil neck pickup seem to split the signals from the B-E-A Strings and the D-G-C strings. And some Chorus in between sometimes, I'd say.

But it might as well be some sounds coming from a connected MID synth, since he's known to use MIDI quite a lot.

[joeymyopic]

saw him a a clinic about 2 weeks ago and asked him to slow D-Code right down which he graciously did, no gimics or effects that i could tell, the man is amazing and D-Codec is the best bass playing ever recorded.

[rmns1234]

What continues to impress me the most about Caron's slap playing is his economy of motion - minimal movements, maximum speed. To be playing licks like that on a six-string... man.....

[1138thz]

@rmns1234

I couldn't agree more man. The guy has a perfect touch...I'd bet he could groove like this for an hour or two and never break fucking sweat.

[migs4271]

@rmns1234 i agree wtih you that and i think he can outplay Marcus and Patitucci anytime! Calm dexterity and always in the pocket!

[TheBassMan533]

the effects are from his roland V-bass.

you can make a diffrent effect on each string with it!

[TheBassMan533]

he is using a roland V-bass

awesome equip^^

[bakerj02]

Yes...It's called playing

[may51950]

@bassicallybass - The synth bass voices are produced by the Polyphonic Mallet Synthesizer guy - far right.

[bass08053]

Flawless as always. He is the main reason I got my F Bass 7 years ago along with the fact that it is a superior instrument

[Ravenhunt]

guys, this is fkin great....!!

[jazzmelodicminor77]

the f bass have to be something to fodera

[billylekid1969]

Simply one of the best...

[hairman63]

Caron and F-bass .... THE combination!

Great playing and great tone.

[Joshypoo777]

i will follow master

[ntruffsd]

niggers 4 free

[grouvette]

ouf la grande classe

[djlsb]

his pinky is insane .u should hear his version of donna lee

[renaudbassplayer]

pinky of his right hand ? if yes, he's not using it.

[chimalk]

ke teknika!!! es uno de los mejores sin Duda!!!!

[76alembic]

Alains accuracy ,is second to none , he truly world class, For you who don't know it he is now Dr.Caron,from the province of Quebec. His use of the V bass system id also very cool!.

[abevink92]

very nice, the band also isn't bad

[bassmanvic]

this guy so cold he is useing his pinky finger to pop the 'G' and 'C' string what a bass player, I play bass to and I tryed to pop with the pinky to save me some time in rythm,and it did not work that good.

[bassmanvic]

great groove and rythm,what a great video.peace!!!!

[manilamaestro]

This bass riff is so fun :D and dang hard to play too!

[eurabio]

no way, insane. what the fuck is he doing with his right hand pinkie?

[williamgonegro7]

i cant believe that drummer has a double bass petal when he plays this kinda ov stuff that's awesome

[axemanfan]

haha look at that smile at 2:48 when all the other guys are on... this is amazing.

[SwedishBass]

Not only has Alain got flawless technique on both fretted and fretless, he can also groove like few can!

[salfunky]

oh!!!! god!!!!!

[solais01]

WOOOOW.

[deco3bs]

muitoooo foda tema muito maneiro.

[Mkallon]

Sounds perfectly.

[johnoket]

alain caron,....iyo bana santiang waang..yoh yuang.., bravoo!!

[BistouflyTheGreat]

this guy is incredible. i saw him twice on stage, last time last saturday, amazing.

[addviper]

woooooow! mind blowing stuff!

[onlykosta]

The number ONE

[utunze]

ecco, tutta 'sat tecnica per fare la sigla di scherzi a parte. poi il batterista è brutto raga, madò.....

invidia dai...

macchè già l'ho tirata giù

[eurabio]

This is so cool!

[Mikushla]

Damn!

[andyfen0]

i still cant get over the way he pops with his pinky and ring finger. its awesome lol

[ftfrito]

he doesnt pop with his pinky, it appears so but some ppl move their pinky when they move their ring finger. But he definitly uses his ring finger

[andyfen0]

are you sure? cause it definitely looks like he used his pinky at :27-:28

[ftfrito]

it looks so but it would be kinda of hard to do it, and somebody ina nother alain video said he only uses 3 finger... but hey im no expert, we got to ask alain:P

[fassaalbrecht]

I use a lot of slap in my bassplaying and he's deifinitely using his ring finger.

[axemanfan]

No, his pinky is practically popping the pickguard. It's pretty far away from the string, and it can't be a technical flaw since he's all about technique.

[bububuvard]

He ACTUALLY IS popping with is pinky, believe me I saw him live.

[ftfrito]

rly!!!???damm, thats amazing, and hard to do! but ok ill believe you:) peace

[renaudbassplayer]

no he's not, I saw him yesterday in a master class, and I asked him, he only use two fingers to pop the strings

[renaudbassplayer]

he only use 2 fingers to pop the string, I saw him yesterday in a master class, and he talked about his popping technique, he said he only use 2 fingers

[freedrum]

I saw him Oct 5 h 09. He explained. He uses up and down strokes with his thumb and first two fingers only. His other fingers are used to mute.

[renaudbassplayer]

yeah I know

[yourmomtwice]

lol, this song is on in the groove

[PlasmaFire3000]

Hehe, not really Dust Devil's "D-Code" remix of Tito Puente's track. This is something radically different!

But imagine if Alain Caron's songs made it into In the Groove! His tracks would be almost all expert 12s and 13s with those fast, driving bass riffs.

[menabrantes]

BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!
