Michael Benjamin Bass Tapping Solo (A New Beginning)

[TheZombieXecutioner2]

Fuckin awesome what is it based in?

[KILLUHclown]

righttt on! I play bass and Metal tap alot, but this is wayyyyyy cooler. Props.

[skroonk]

Great writing. Thanks for sharing.

[Okimar45]

I'm serious, you could sell this song for someone to put in an RPG. It has more of a JRPG groove to it, but it would be great for a western game too.

[Oasudude]

it that a cabo on the second fret or is it just to mute the other strings ?

what kind of strings do you use and what gauge are they ?

[freddiethebassist]

This is gorgeous! I'm learning it here and now!

[MrChocolateBalls1]

inspires to improve my tapping -_-

sick!

[MrRogelio9]

I love you !!!!!!

eres un super bajista casi lloro cuando escuche esa canción

[BassTKD826]

This sounds nice. Your music has an almost lyrical quality, and it brings something vivid to mind (usually abstract for me). Very nice!!

[diebkgast]

awesome! sick!

[diebkgast]

awesome!

[martymini14]

awesome

[Jakeocide]

He's just playing a lot of octaves in an order that sounds really cool....you should be able to figure it out.....that was a great piece btw

[adiwwaw]

im gonna start playing bass

[silentsouless]

Great playing, but I'd like to see a bit more variation in the rhythym and dynamics. The entire thing is just a stream of 8th notes (with one exception) in the exact same tone. Play with emotion; try to express a feeling and tell a story.

[goingnowhere5]

do you have tabs? :D

[defecator1985]

so cool! nice melody and sound

[ChristieHeywood]

OMFG i love this. like really bad. can you tab me?? please, it's immensely beautiful. pleaaseeee <33

[basspekel]

amazing solo man but im missinig abit of soul it sounds very monotonic put some soul in to it and some dynamic and it would be perfect good job and keep doing it :)

[mattsun71]

veeery nice

[xzibit2313]

I WANT TABS FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!

[cm374360]

I love it. but for some reason i can so hear that over a toilet paper add, lol.

Great work man

[vorderbruggen]

heartwarming

[hungryfordreams]

Thats a terriffic melody mate.

[Drumgirl27]

Great music! I am a drummer and I can most definitely appreciate what you are doing!!

[BassGuitarted]

i kno my song isnt nearly as good as this bt plz check out my song and help me name it!!!

[myspacceer]

whats the chords from 0:00 to 0:22?

[mynameiskyled00d]

That's an amazingly soulful song, there are so many talented musicians emerging lately.

Keep playing man, you really have a gift.

[MestariDuff]

This is far beyond words. Great job writting such a beautiful track.

[allpass91]

pretty song, beautiful melody :)

[mikeyfatstrings]

go listen to The Horse - A Wilhelm Scream.

there's some amazing bass tapping in there

[morris333777]

8th notes at metronome setting 82=truly incredible-thanks.

[adiutomo7]

sounds peaceful and great!

[vassdal94]

WoW; dude i play guitar, but this video makes me wanna play bass :D

[feverhood]

becouse, as usual, everyone says that bass is shitty instrument. this is one of the videos that prooves it's not.

[diebkgast]

@vassdal94 it makes me wanna finish slapping asap so i can learn tapping!

[crazyguitarluver]

5/5. nice job

[Teutonic1250]

u look like  dane cook lol that was beast

[timbobandtom]

hey man could you post tabs for that song because its awesome please

[crazybasskw]

Nice job man! Enjoyed it!

[journeyman416]

Dude, amazing.

[timbobandtom]

you could get money for people wanting to put this in games

[goingnowhere5]

@timbobandtom i could see it as being a song for like harvest moon or zelda

[punkrocker1331]

@goingnowhere5 I could see it more in a Pokemon Game

[goingnowhere5]

@punkrocker1331 yeah, that sounds right

[kawuza777]

This song really pulls the strings to the heart.  It gives me hope that music isn't dead. Thanks mike

[timbobandtom]

thats actually really good

[Thegodfather847]

dude holy shit, u play like Jesus! lol i wud know :P

XD

[yuyinyu]

this is beautiful

[Netherrin]

That's great, man! ^^

[jian2069]

shit thats sweet

[Ackee93]

Amazing man.....well done

[aleksavortis]

peaveys are great for tapping my friends got a cirrus, i love playing it.

[assassinblade590]

wow....... im so stunned it took mr 5 min to recover..... this was the most bautiful think ive heard in a long time. 10000****** absolutly loved it

[Bucketbonce]

[the666drum]

[ruckus68ou1]

i have just started to do bass taps and i gotta say i cant wait till i can make it sound that good. nice job mate.

[ronaldmcdonald333]

i love this video!!! bass=life

[suprbird]

dude..that wasnt even impressive tapping compared to some bassists, but sounded a million times better. you used the right chords and progressions, and just played it slow but clean, oh my god. definatly one of the best bass tapping videos i have seen. amazing..

[bonestro]

Do you have any tabs or something for this one?

It totally rox :D

Would be nice learning it ;)

[Alicaint]

I worked it out myself like. Just play dude, that's the easiest way.

[doubledrumming]

I'm Not A Bassist. But Im Going To Say Too True.

[JackDavis16]

you can see what frets he is tapping clearly man

[ArkAngelHFB]

I'm liking the amp in the back ground. lol+

[wacky123456789]

no one cares salva i bet 90% of the people that have watched this video are bassist

[tropicalmadness]

fuck yeah im one man

this is how we get inspired by watching someone better than you play so you ur self want to become better and surpass that person thats why bass guitar is more that just an instrument and for the guy playing this its a great bass solo you prove that melody is an important part of bass playing

[csybu]

I am a guitarist and still interested:) That sounds good!

[the666drum]

im a drummer XD noob :P

[sonnenkraft]

acutally wacky,i play electric in a band \:. I can watch this over and over x],yea i notice 90% but still

[salvacionjojovideos]

[Groynkikt]

Learn chords. Instead of strumming the chord you tap. Practice Practice Practice

[stephane2091]

[foderahead]

It sounds like the ending of a super mario bros or zelda game one of the old school ones on the nes. Not that thats a bad thing.

conclusive proof if any were needed that you dont have to play 2000 notes per second if you have an eye (or was that an ear) for melody. Simply fantastic
