Seinfeld slap bass with music

[CoolAttractivePeople]

I like the part when he made the same sound with different cords. 0:03 and 0:12



[ashky45]

@CoolAttractivePeople

And how he goes down the neck while the notes go up. Pure genius this kid. I didn't know that was possible on a bass

[mymommallama123]

it's not fake, the seinfeld slap is just a bit louder than him actually playing

[HAYDS510]

i am gonna learn this!!

[chocoblast807]

its not fake if you can hear ythe sound of his finger hitting the string

[joejjz]

@chocoblast807 and the fact that his tempo is certainly not consistent and if you say he's doing it for musicality it sounds like shit with that recording. Chow

[HavKelev]

man your off beat!

[ImmortalMeatz]

Ahh the trolls, what would youtube be without them :)

[fitzay32]

this is just gay

[dragonforceisasem]

it aint fake, plain and simple

[Afrogab]

I WANT TO SLAP YOUR BASS

[mroxiful]

Ok this is not fake. But you really need to work on this.

[DeathXMetalXCraze]

[Hannodb1961]

[proverbs129]

[tnc07232008]

Hello Newman.

[WobbuffetsWobbuffan]

@tnc07232008 Hello Jerry.

[tnc07232008]

@WobbuffetsWobbuffan lol......that show will never get old.

[bizzybone951]

wtf dam it was coo

[11ethan111]

make a lil lesson vid

[brooklynstudio]

0:02-0:03 where's the double thump? I hear it but... dont see it.

[Fma1416]

@brooklynstudio I think he did a pull-off.

[jimmyblackmore]

FaKKKKKEEEE! OMG

[bbBassYo]

Hey man, by looking at your video i conclude that you are stressing yor thumb way to much.. you dont have to stretch it like that all the time.. it just makes your playing more sloppy.. i noticed you just missed a couple of notes because of this.. if you just loosen up yor thumb a little bit you'll find playing slap bass to be much easier:)

Ps i didnt post this to burn you down or anything.. i just thought it might be a usefull tip

[bbBassYo]

@bbBassYo o sorry i just read that this was 4,5 years ago.. nevermind:D

[MingoFrenzy]

hey your not popping correctly make a thumbs up like exactly like the Like buton and pop with the side of your index finger.

[457Newportgurly]

awesome

[mbayko2]

...that's not how you do that you have to slap and pop or you'd be hitting all kind of other strings...i'm playing it on my bass right now and that's not how it's done.

[yomammaonastick]

what the hell kind of bull shit is that? people who call you fake either A are stupid and ignorant B are jealous or C dont play bass and arent watching ur hands fit perfectly with the notes ur playing

[08WSChamps]

people r just jealous tht they cant play as good as you thts y they have to say dumb shit like its fake, so they can make themselves feel better. sounded great dude!

[PsycCentauri]

Really good, i like the effects you used to make the timbre sound authentic. And btw. its actually not that easy. But still, obviously not fake because the loudness compared to the rest of the jazz going on the the backround.

[Pirate1014]

It just looks fake because of your EXTREMELY stiff technique.

[pepeleichon]

hahhahahahahaahahahahahahahhhh­haaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaahah­ahahahah

TOTALLY FAKE!!!!

[damagecase13]

Obviously not fake douche, He just has the music playing too loud.

[KUISA]

you know this was originally played on a synthesizer?

[CheezeDipper]

@KUISA

It might very well be. A synthesizer synthing a slap bass. What is your point?

[KUISA]

@CheezeDipper my point is that he is awesome at slap bass..

nailing it at 100% when the original was played on a synthesizer, thats pretty awesome to me!

[bokwa11t12]

this is DEFINATELY fake. you can tell because he gets his hands to where they need to be. he even makes it sound like he can hit the right notes.

fake my ass.

[johnnybeane]

this is him playing under the original music.

anyone with ears can hear his bass and the original bass/music.

good job man!

[FlyFisherman67467]

can you send me a tab of this? please?

[Poppyseedsaredrugs]

honestly even if it is a fake who cares its just a video on youtube just watch it and if u don't like it then just go to another one u don't have to make such a big deal out of it

[lilbudatofu]

this is FAKE anyone who thinks otherwise is a dumbass

[ghking13]

your a freakin retard

[iamjosh112233]

or you are

[kevinandger]

are you deaf? you can hear him play clearly

[pokemonfan1594]

What the fuck is the point of faking this? He would've still had to make it look like he is playing so, why wouldn't he just learn the real song. Why does everyone think all Youtube musicians are fake. Makes no fucking sense.

[thenashus4]

@pokemonfan1594 they think they can tell its fake cause they think he doesn't play the right notes, but he does so they're idiots

[ernieberniemac]

@pokemonfan1594

actually it makes a lot of sense, if youre gonna fake a song playing its probably easiest to do it on youtube and lot of people do it to catch attention...

[sk8tafrnk]

@pokemonfan1594 Fake and gay.

[motoMONKEYcross]

great cover

[mcmatanmc]

Wrong tabs, this is fake.

[krallimut]

somebody plays with their ears. Well real musicians plays with the ears, not their eyes... Tells lot about you...

[mcmatanmc]

Some people know English and some don't. You don't.

[krallimut]

And how many language do you speak?? Only english I guess... F**** caveman!!

[mcmatanmc]

Two languages and some arabic and some spanish.

[CountChoculitis11]

you obviously don't grasp the concept of singular and plural asshole. it should be "languages". way to represent bitch. You must be so culturally rounded! Quit showing off on the internet. Nobody cares that you can speak more than one language.

[AustralLord]

Actually real musicians are expected to play from sheet music well.

[AustralLord]

What tabs? Plus if he can choreograph it this well, he might as well have learned it.

[HRcircut85]

if you're reading tabs to learn songs...that says a lot about your opinion. There's always more than one way to play a song, learn how to really learn music and rely on pussy ass tabs

[mcmatanmc]

There's 1 CORRECT way to play a song, and other ways that are in the same octaves but sound like crap.

[PoPwar1993]

not really, you can play on different strings in the same octave

[KyubiFreak]

ummmmm.... NO. there are many musicians who constantly modify their own songs. like john frusciante from rhcp. he plays a different version of under the bridge in nearly every live performance. if u dont know anything about a certain topic id say u shouldnt try and sound like a smartass cause ull just end up sounding stupid.

[jdon666]

how the fuck do u think its fake

its pretty right on

he must not be able to read cuz it clearly states with music!

[peteholloway]

It's not fake, it's just that the track he's playing along to is louder than his bass so it sounds like he's faking it.

[starw0lf]

how the hell is this fake? you can hear him slapping! and its not this hard to play

[CristallSkull]

did you used the qtron??

[goodfellas11285]

Of course this is not fake he is just playing along to the original in the background

[emo182kidd]

still fake

[Nalrunus]

At the very end, you hear the pop sound of the original singer's lips. This guy's mouth didn't move, unless I'm wrong about everything I just said. "Buh-dum-puh."

[sandybuns7]

you need to loosen up your right hand more. you'll get a better sound

[Lilmichaelson]

I don't think it's fake but the intro is definitely wrong.

[benza435]

fake!!

i can see his hands moving

[m5entertainment]

of course his hands are moving...he's fucking playing it...

[benza435]

lol

[xxslap]

your a freakin idiot

of course its not fake read the description

[KMatteKudasaiC]

@xxslap ..... you have the synthetic bass on the ORIGINAL track playing MUCH LOUDER than you ar eplaying. and you go off time and shit and yur tone is wayyyy off.. how can you justify this isnt fake? believe in yurself and post it without the fucking song playing over you... *rolls eyes*

[xxslap]

@KMatteKudasaiC

dude this was four years ago. I had no idea what I was doing back then chill out

[kidrocker1996]

@xxslap LOL i can PLAY this on bass, and you aint putting your fingers where they're meant to be, considering its in E. and half the notes that are audible you arent even fretting or slapping. your slap technique is horrible

[ints13]

@kidrocker1996 kid you are one cocky motherfucker, stop being arrogant and stfu your 14 and already a disgrace to humanity

[kidrocker1996]

@ints13 Im not that kind of person at all, it just angers me when someone who didn't even play this is getting so much praise. I could make a fake video of classical thump (victor wooten) and make it buyable but i actually earn my views respectively.

[musicforlife191]

@kidrocker1996 you the one who prob fakes it you whore

[kidrocker1996]

@musicforlife191 haha dude shut up and comment when you've got some uploads of YOU playing, yeah?

[musicforlife191]

@kidrocker1996 proove that its fake

[kidrocker1996]

@musicforlife191 LOL maybe if you played bass well you'd be able to tell for yourself! dumbass! can you hear that tapping sound? that's the only noise he is making. the amplified bass is NOT him. I assure you.

[musicforlife191]

@kidrocker1996 okay i still think ur a fag

[kidrocker1996]

@musicforlife191 right back at ya mate

[musicforlife191]

@kidrocker1996 okay and for the record i do play bass retardo

[kidrocker1996]

@musicforlife191 obviously not very good if you cant tell this is fake.

[musicforlife191]

@kidrocker1996 acctually i am pretty good

[kidrocker1996]

@musicforlife191 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[musicforlife191]

@kidrocker1996 i dont care if you laugh

[dustepupp]

haha, cool man :)

[Megadeath2233]

some people have nothing better to do then critisize people who take they're time to actually make a video for people to enjoy, props man

[MedusaBob]

ARE U KIDDING THIS IS FAKE

[xxslap]

your an idiot look at the description

[ShyGuyRailroadCo]

I can see you hitting the notes and slapping along, but obviously you have flat strings and the audio makes it sound fake. But any real bassist can see it's real, if you had good strings you wouldn't have so much criticism from posers like MedusaBob, not that you'd care I reckon.

Nice Precision you got there. Please remind retarted people that Epiphone is a Gibson owned product, and that yours is a genuine Fender.

[fingerboy18]

You can hear it fine anyway, the tone is just very muddy. Good job. The Seinfeld theme was actually played on a keyboard but it's sounds fun to play.

[abviolin2]

@xxslap You're an idiot. You think you can fake it and say it's not fake because you lied in the comment. Give me a break.

[SRODAWG]

I've watched Seinfeld too many times. This isn't fake.

[whtsavai]

I think wht people are confused of...is you have the actual recording playing at the same time and your bass volume is very low...I can hear your bass underneath the actual recording..i can hear the difference in the tones..

[downinthepampa]

who is the compsitor?

[akgj]

This cover is so good ppl think it's fake , nice job though

[aaronaddicott]

its OBVIOUSLY not fake, fucking christ some people are retarded

[jessdude04]

lol this is not fake if u just listen you can hear the original bass part in underneath his

[dudefreezone]

nice bass, i have the same one, mines a 1991 epiphone, great tone.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Yeah, You have an Epiphone P-Bass. They don't even make those. STFU.

[dudefreezone]

its 16 years old dumbshit

[IsaiahArroyo777]

epiphone doesnt make a p bass but they do make a fender jazz bass copy i happen to know, i own one

[IsaiahArroyo777]

and its rare because its discontinued because of the law suit and and its almost vintage (almost)

[JazzBassist777]

I don't understand how this looks fake at all. He is actually playing and he's doing a great job! 5/5

[kidrocker1996]

F.A.K.E If u wanna put somethin on youtube.......make it real!!!!!

[xxslap]

your right out of the 6 videos i have up i only decided to fake this one, the easiest out of all six. You know what your talking about. learn bass.

[Whicol2]

Sorry mate, I'm going to have to go with the audience here....it looks/sounds fake as can be.

[xxslap]

holy crap guys everyone look in the description i put a link to the original track it sounds nothing alike its just that in the vid my bass is totally bassy because this was like forever ago before i knew what tone was

[mart1n666]

fejkish

[ssminopoopy]

FAKEEEEEEEE

[myalchemyindex]

Could I get the tabs for this please.

Thanks.

:)

[mzonouzi]

You can't even fake the song properly..asshole.

[ak47dragunov]

not song

[keysonyanosmilanos]

not the best but its alright, keep it up

[MrBrawl]

I could barely hear you at all. And why use the shorter version?

[lilsk8ingkid]

wow my dad watches that show and i figured out just right now wat a cool bass it has cool

[zigg3ns]

awesome

[PolysaturatedFat]

Best one on YouTube. Finally someone nailed it.

[brockster6734]

You are an idiot. watch?v=6TT52Y0zWyI&feature=re­lated

[murda1991]

alfredobass DESSSSSSSSSSSSSTROOOOOOOOYED this one.

[CLJHayward]

hes just confused because the theme music is kinda loud. it would be harder to fake it and make it look like that than to just learn to play it.

[ggallin765]

too bad that wasnt you and that is was just the actual song dubbed over

[xxslap]

your probably right i just learned where the frets were but didnt actually learn how to hit the strings. only in this song too all my other vids i know how to play bass just not this one. You know what a bass sounds like.

[MelodicCrusade]

Fucking idiot, your just jelaus. Good work man keep it up.

[pancakekiller91]

get owned

[mikelpanky]

Best I've heard on this song. I can tell that it's you playing and not the original (I'm a Seinfeld fanatic!) Great job, but to avoid further confusion, adjust the levels to bring out your bass more.

[Arkoon008]

lol, i can play this to and unless to and unless the 12 10 and 8th's frets are sudens the 2nd then he's playing big parts of the song, wrong, the difrence u hear is guitar pro lol. im listening to mine right now... (might be somthing else) but he aint playing the right tabs, look it up on ultimate-guitar

[xxslap]

its not guiutar pro. its just an mp3. Didnt use tabs they all sucked. And im pretty sure this was originally played on a keyboard so theres also no 'right' frets to do it on.

[campkillyourself93]

theres no such thing as the "right way" on guitar....you can play it however you want as long as it sounds good, which it did.

[ProffessorMusic]

Really, the frets don't matter as long as you get the right notes. Granted- there are frets that you can play notes on that make it easier to get to the other notes, but if he wants to move his hand a bunch, more power to him.

[Superdude688]

he's got the music playing in the background at the same time as he is doing the bassline

[Eminem1332]

nice!

[jesusismypal]

no i figure he's playing it cuz the effect is a bit different eh?

[bassguy911]

dude thats amazing!!!

[FuckClevelandOhio]

dude its the track. his bass isn't even plugged in.

[cdog09]

just cause your jealous you cant play it dont bash someone that can

[xDrkest2Unearthx]

of course its plugged in your a retard if you cant hear the difference between the bass and the track

[DaDawgPound89]

it is plugged in, can't you see the cord coming out of the bass? but then again you dont have an ear to hear the bass either so why should you be able to see the cord, right?

[asphyxiateDrake00]

why would he go through the effort of playing it without it plugged in?

[elfman010]

ok look since everyone is getting but hurt i'll say it p bass's are for a deeper sound, jazz for fast, but slaping can be done on both ok chill ^_^

[homskllet]

awesome

[thelewd1]

nice job man. i should learn this.

[madskillz001110]

awsome!

[lazysid]

lol! dude, you should set the volume to your bass guitar higher and the 'background music' lower so that we could understand what you're playing. otherwise, pretty good job, but still waiting for more of a clear sound of YOUR bass

[primusguy12121]

talk about fuckn flawless!!!

[primusguy12121]

talk about fuckn flawless!!!

[KGabes]

great playing!do u have the sheet music or tab for this?

[xxslap]

no sorry

[2ndwarlord]

greenarms you're are an idiot if you dont know

[keysonyanosmilanos]

whack

[GreenAms]

guitar or bass???

[sriosgonza70]

if you are asking that you dont need to know

[Arthurb06]

how the hell did he even get to this page without knowing if its a bass or guitar?!?!?

[sriosgonza70]

no shit huh? lol

[BriefShorts]

lol, really

[stinkytoy]

hahahaha greenams got pwned.

[GreenAms]

I was joking guys:D I play the Bass and I even Made a video About it..."Bass it up"...

[peobliycte]

wow... what a hilarious joke

[vanimal07]

lmfao

[HyperFreak1102]

Hah. It sounds nice on a P bass, but my personal preference is that I just don't like playing them.

I'll stick with my Ibanez :D

[wesmonsTER78]

are you playing along with the bass in the song?

[mindgame115]

of course p basses can be slaped their actually in my opinoin best basses for slapping =]

[HrapovikPlush]

For all of you who say P basses can't be slapped, you are fucking idiots!!

[Mstrofppts89]

i could barely hear you over the actual song. Don't be afraid to crank that amp man

[loafbeans]

There's 1 thing I noticed when watching this video: You have a mouth.

[xxslap]

wait what?

[loafbeans]

Oh sorry, I thought you were someone else

[ESPlayer666]

lol?

[skinsknot1]

the best part was the beginning riff

[LewieMaGooey]

shut up elfman, sounded great.

[elfman010]

im not saying it cant be done im just saying its much better with a jazz bass or anything else i mean no doubt u got skills dawg ^_^ but well u no what i mean right, musician to another
