Qizhong's slap bass solo

[HigherGround93]

was this just a whole bunch of slap songs but together? it was still good! I heard black eyed blonde!

[GreenbergBass]

You need to tighten this up a bit. The rhythm was all over the place.

[richard2durant]

woah stifffffff leg go a bit

[primusguy12121]

dude thats deff not an original...that is the awakening by primus......

[sublime88sublime]

it isnt by primus, it is by les claypool and the holy mackeral, but it is a cover from the reddings brothers

[FerrariF108]

sublime88sublime - its the bass solo Les Claypool does when he plays "Tommy the cat" live.... with PRIMUS

[sublime88sublime]

i know that, but if you werent such a noob you would know it wasnt originally by primus

[FerrariF108]

sublime88sublime - don't be so touchy man.... i know it wasn't originally by primus, i was just letting you know why people associate it with primus.... Please dude, if you wanna insult me call me something worse than a NOOB.... oh no, i'm a noob. i'm new to certain topics arghhhhh! LOL

[sublime88sublime]

haha

[ledgic1317]

that was fuckin awesome man i loved it, marcus miller ,stanley clarke style, keep on rockin out man!!

[fleaburton]

COol very nice.....

[darthetsiug]

o my gon am stuk in the 80s

[lunchboxtrh]

awesome was it a school talent show or something?

[paperfolder9]

Great job Qizhong, but next time the bass needs to be a little louder; I can barely hear the low notes over the drums. But great Les Claypool emulation! You've got talent. Good job to the drummer as well!

[lazybass]

qizhong...nice playing..

where diz band from?

[jhonattanp]

que vaya a comoer su chocho mejor , no crean que eso es todo en el bajo le falta mucho por recorrer

, el dia que escuhe que toques cortes diferentes te creeré

[Pepperfan123]

Dude love this song.... but it felt like you rushed it. And it obviously was not Claypool standard.

[thedudewhodonttalk18]

nice

[JorshWarshington]

Fuckin' Qizhong! Stand up next time. You're gonna hurt your sack sitting like that.

[mynameisntbobbybob]

good playing but awful sound recording

[69gizzer]

Not bad, short-round, but if your gonna hack the brilliant works of Les Claypool and call it your

own, your no bassist.

[creepr07]

hey, he didn't even say it was his own

and anyways, Les Claypool didn't even create The Awakening, it was Dexter Redding back in 1980

so don't even be dissin people unless you can back your shit up

[69gizzer]

Oh, I can back my shit up jackass, is he Qizhong? Is his band Qizhong? Regardless, the title say QIZHONG'S bass solo dumbass, he is therfore citing it as his own.

[mogyesz9]

press more at the description smartass

[69gizzer]

Who the fuck asked you?

[Toommson]

GET THE FUCK OUT NEWFAG

[CCXVIHandsBound]

This is not 4chan, moron.

[rafeww]

newfag pussy, stfu.

[rafeww]

i meant toommson

the bass is awesome

[andrewssciencestuf]

he isint that good >:-(

[daytonadiscdriver]

yes he is.

[hilltopmoma]

We need more bass players who can play a lot like this or even better hopefully when my sister get's her first bass later in the week she'll be able to pickup stuff fast and play as good as bass players like victor wooten. Great job!

[BassKindOfGuy]

Yeah, my ass. Her first bass? It would take her years to play like Victor Wooten, even if she was picking it up fast. Victor Wooten is godly.

[psbass5]

i guess no one tunes b4 playing anymore :/

[peemybest]

those were my thoughts exactly

[brandonis18]

omfg man that was the best homemade bass solo ive heard (the end i mean) your awakening was really good too :)

[jimikerrguitar]

funk it up

[GDT1124]

That is The Awakening by Les Claypool and The Holy Mackerel.

[TheDrummer5656]

Nice. But what song is that?

[chawkolay]

yeah that's a yamaha

[airraidsiren82]

awesome dude!!!!!!!!!!

[timkress]

This kid does a good job on this song. The original version is by The Reddings, and is called "The Awakening" It was made popular- for bassists- by Les Claypool on his solo record Highball with the Devil.

[GDT1124]

It's not a solo album. It's Les Claypool and The Holy Mackerel.

[Drumstop969]

sweet

[GregOOs4string]

good bassist& good drummer = killer mix

[bestemmie]

you know primus?

[TehBassMasta]

i cant tell what kind of bass is that

[BlueGolem]

Looks like a Yamaha BB series.

[rickjeffer]

damn thats sick man

[Sig22]

damn, he played a solo from les claypool, and he played black eyed blonde and get up and jump by RHCP at the end.

[ironbirdhouse]

4:20!

[julioismael2007]

ohh , its cool mate!!

[skywalkerla5]

dude what's up with your legs, I'm sorry if there is something wrong but this is confusing the heck out of me!?!

[skywalkerla5]

nvm, just watched the rest of the video, i was so confused at first lol

[snummis]

very nice cover!

i think that you got lot of pussy after that ;)

[nicolasallboys]

primus eh! laysclapoool! copion de meirda

[funtimehappyyes]

fuck the kid that says u don't do it justice, i mean none of us are les and u are young and completely ripping it man keep on keeping on man, very funky.

[ImpactT0m]

The songs by Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerals, he doesnt cover it you moron and this realyl doesnt do it justice nice try

[teabag619]

GREAT COVER! i love les!

[SlitYourThroatz]

Damn, you have Claypool's style down quite well...

[wdsean]

Nice Primus cover man.keep er' lit!

[lophowilliamsii]

The Awakening is not a Primus song, Claypool covers it too.

[akjsdfh]

looks just like my ibanez cept for the tuning heads...

[Kulenkenkep]

well done bassist brother...

[Muaguana]

All I can ever find on Youtube is slap bass solos. That's it. I haven't seen on harmonic or fingerstyle solo by a Youtube user yet. This is why I didn't get into slap... it just seems like a fad these days, especially among younger bass players.

[qizhong]

well, dont knock it till you tried it. at least learn how to do it before saying slapping is for 'younger bass players'. you cant find harmonic or fingerstyle solos? you havent been looking very hard.

[Muaguana]

I wasn't "knocking it", I was simply stating an observation and opinion. I didn't say it's for younger bass players, either. If I wanted to say slap bass playing blows I would have said it. But I know it takes skill and technique to execute it correctly, so I don't go insulting it.

[Kulenkenkep]

i wanna see you slapping like wooten bitch, and he's not a ''young player''...

[Muaguana]

Therein lies my point: people like you think that slapping is all there is to bass.

I never insulted quixhong. I respect him as a player and I respect his slapping ability. I was merely saying it seems like there is too much emphasis on slapping these days (e.g., your comment). I'm not saying slapping is bad or it sucks or whatever. Get that through your skull and then try a proper discourse.

[Muaguana]

*quizhong*

Also, I was addressing Kulenkenkep, just for clarification.

[qizhong]

do i know you? you misspell my name exactly like someone else i know.

[Muaguana]

Not to my knowledge. I was just typing too fast and hit the "x" key on accident, since it's adjacent to the "z" key.

[qizhong]

i was talking about 'quizhong'. anyway the most probable reason is phonological...not many words in English has 'qi', especially with the soft q. 'qui' is more likely.

[Muaguana]

HOLY SHIT! I didn't even realize that your name was qizhong (without the "u")! Sorry about that.

[Muaguana]

And once again, I didn't say slapping was ONLY for younger bass players. And I didn't insinuate quizhong was a "young player".

Before you go around criticizing people, make sure you actually comprehend what they were saying.

[tomalyo]

this is not good.

[alexhani]

Every bassists at least has a tad bit of respect for the great les claypool, good job man =]

[Muaguana]

Not when you're a Larry Graham fan.

[GreetTheSacredCow]

Great playing dude. It's based off of The Awakening by THE REDDINGS. Look it up.

[Phaseronkill]

For the record, anyone who said that he ripped off Les Claypool by doing "The Awakening" in the beginning, you should probably know Les Claypool didn't even write that song, he does it as a cover. But great job man, you've got real potential.

[FummyMimoki]

Very very nice.

At least you can slap lol =_=;;

I can't do it for my life xD.

[cjthebassist]

The drummer's the only good bit.  He rocks

[Carnepwns]

hes not rippin off les he says right up top that the beginning is based off les claypools music

[Slapbass13]

heres a some dude ripping of primus. dude, do your own stuff. thats just the awakening. quit rippin off claypool. ill say this though, it was played well.

[DrBeezE]

dude that's the awakening, you're good, but you should come up with your own material.

[dkman888]

nice very good but isnt this originally from les clay pool???? i dunno still sounds good

[kallepilli]

NIce!!!

[retnuHDJ]

That was an awesome bass solo! He played it pretty damn well!

[bussbass]

Guys, cut the dudes some slack!, they look like they're about 13 years old!

[BrinkHustler]

I definitely heard some flea in there.

[Azergoth]

Yeah! Coffee Shop solo... used to be with wah :p

[oOLarkinOo]

Good Perf' but nothing original at all...

Thank You Primus and Les Claypool

[kimpax]

yeeeeee!!! filipinos!!

[enrrwa]

wtf? is not even close to les claypool's awakening

[ante4441]

i think it is a dwarf whos play bss

[Smazmania]

Are you sitting on the amp & resting your feet on the head of the person infront? xD

[scorpionanimator]

get a drummer whos not scared of hitting his cymbals....ure good...just get a decent rhythm section to bacl you up...and to all u ppl who are criticising him of ripping les claypool stuff i suggest you read the description hes written .....nice going dude!!!

[onebetter07]

for all those who are stupid....thats called awakening by LES CLAYPOOL

[1337FUCK]

no ones criticizing his playing. they're saying hes a dick and says he "based" the solo of other peoples work when really he didnt write any of it, and stole the whole thing

[chaharly2]

Dude u kick ass

[LunarSolitude]

I think people should be commending him.

He clearly plays very well, even though its not original stuff (I don't have much original stuff, either) and playing someone else's stuff is paying homage to them.

In other words, he's actually promoting and flattering the artists.

[bird27]

Wow!Its a good bassist

Yes,the music he play in 3:10 is a Blackyed blonde from Peppers ...

[clipper197]

lol you said the first part was based off you mean you stole it...

[ikaika1986]

yea dude your a douche stealing peoples shit like that..

what a fag

[masterhaichanchu]

he's playing a cover........get over it, he's not producing it and making money off it or anything

[BabyStomper2000]

wait a sec sry about that last one, its not just les claypool

[Joshnio]

lol i know who Claypool is, and i know about the awakening, i just thought it was a bit obvious to say it was Claypools stuff, with everyone saying it and all.

[BabyStomper2000]

dude its not the chili peppers its Les Claypool the god of bass, its called the awakening

[Joshnio]

Just for the record, i heard a bit of one of Rob Trujillo's solos in there, i also heard black eyed blonde by the Chillis, You have good taste in music.

[1337FUCK]

based off of les claypools stuff?

dude u took the whole solo from the awakening and didn't change it at all

theres a difference between getting inpiration from other artists and playing the exact same thing

[mohsen789]

cool bassist. da drummer's good too

[Joshnio]

You own, And am i right in saying that bass is a sadowsky?

[Parley454]

looks like a yamaha bass.

[huwjeremy]

yeah nice solo dude, kinda pinched a bit from old les claypool now didnt ya, but o well still kicks ass

[CiccioBurton]

really not bad....

[69bevar69]

Daaamn ..

Good job dudes !

Awesome !

[spizzajay]

What the fuck...."The first part is based off Les Claypool's stuff."...That is les claypools "stuff" you wanker. At least give him full credit for a solo you copied note for note. Your a fucking tool

[eddthrasher]

You rock. Well played.

[Rumpelstilsky]

simply horrible. :S

[Tomsthumb]

Great Slappin there man,

Thanks,

[azure21300]

dude dont listen to any one else , you fucking rock

[jihadforcash]

sweet ive been learning how to slap bass for 3 weeks now... its aint easy i really like the harmonic touch

[amazingknobs]

you guys are wicked, thumbs up, love the harmonics, im goin to go slap my bass stupid now!

[BassSurfer2]

i eat asians for lunch their so fucking ugly ugh

[sabian545]

i'm not asian , but even i'm offended by your pointless shit based racist comments. shut the hell up, you ass. no one needs people like you around.

[BassSurfer2]

im not offending you dude stfu... no one needs people like you who post randomn shit on message boards stfu

[sabian545]

i dont care if you not insulting ME. its still stupid the idea of not liking someone because they're a different race. who cares? the guy owns at bass that should be all that matters.

[BassSurfer2]

kk i love u

[mike4390116]

Don't listen to any of the bitches that leave comments reflecting their insecurity in themselves as well as their sexuality. This is a fucking good show and both of you are incredible musicians. I just dream of playing the bass that well.

[rocketfingaz]

you guys are arsholes and if you really played bass you woodnt critisise another player you fuckwits you shood be incouraging him id go n e one hear in a thump off

[zenchido]

Musnt be too many good slap players in here. This boys lazy on his bass. The drummer is shit. Slap and funk is good, but it gets boring when a so called 'solo' goes for 4 mins. You fuckheads suck balls.

[qizhong]

there aren't too many good slap players in here, probably. i'm not one of them, definitely. maybe you could contribute some good slapping videos for us? i know there's too many people talking smack about other people's videos though.

[xapgkopster]

awsome

[4STRINGBASSFREAK]

nice bass :) bad drummer :(

[B4T3R]

I Heard Skinny Sweaty Man in there... nice.

[thetwohandstapping]

not bad for early player allthough you are taking that from primus, check out theTwoHandsTapping for something original

[MagicalRory]

...maybe with some prac this woyuld be less shit

[sergemelomano]

that's from primus!

[grimtube]

Impressiv, except the timing problems. but really impressiv.

[Danilobass123]

o cara é muito sem pegada é estranho a posição do slap muito ridiculo esse video o baterista é bom eu gostei, agora o baixista pensa que tok..

[qizhong]

in english?

[Stevis]

That was incredible dude! Your crazy good!

[Bortbortbortbort]

eew, tune your bass next time. But other than that pretty good. like the guy said before, get your arm under your bass.

[polsihpirate]

yo get your arm under your bass

[dcshoeco66]

awesomeee :]

[viz76]

good guy!see my videos,bye!!

[gutznbloody]

He's the next Claypool.

[farguswoptao]

all of u who comment dissing him for stealing primus's solo are losers because they couldnt do half as good as he does and they kno it Plus he did say that he took the riff from les.

[woodenfret]

Hey this is not Primus's solo you punk! Do you know the Reddings? just in case of, there is music before Claypool

[farguswoptao]

thats not the point

[woodenfret]

sorry I was high when I posted this. <3

[psajmonpl]

nothing special but ok

[MusicmanLex]

Dude, you rock. Keep at it, you'll be good enough to go pro, if you're not already!

[qizhong]

thanks!

[polsihpirate]

i think ur outa tune

[lightliquid]

you should make more videos please I really like ur sound

[mjw666]

he didnt steal the primus solo. its a cover of "the awakening pt. 1" by the reddings that les did on the "highball with the devil" cd.

youre all a bunch of morons.

[TerenceSharp]

Was that Black eyed blonde riff in the middle there? :P

[Rel06]

pretty cool. i dont see what all the negativity is for. where are those ppl's videos at? and i wonder if they can play that piece.

[yoguy1234321]

way to steal primus's bass solo you fucking prick

[Sockr44e]

he didn't steal it, he covered it, since he mentions in the info of this video that its les claypools stuff, you really don't need to be a douchebag about it.

[wildbobandronnie]

yes the recording is hideous the drums are what make it muddy i think you could get a better drummer to he opens the hihat at the end of every measure

[sliterchery]

you guys dont realize that's a solo by Primus. way to go kid awesome skills keep it up.

[stonedefender99]

suck my dick, slap is better then that rythem shit, i play a rich warlock and thats all ill play

[VonnDuven]

I heard golden boy in there, amirite?

[jammasterquo]

yeah i thot i recognised the les claypool solo there. but very cool!

[jrmwigga5555]

actually it is a song by the reddings

[EbolaCore]

pretty deccent

[sirpsyko]

Is there some Chili peppers stuff in there?? Blackeyed blond??

and you are and awesome bassist!!! I bet bassist88 did't watch the whole video..

[sixsiksix]

Ive seen worse...

[SlappyTheElf]

Well played But what a horrible sound.

Suppose the recording equipment has something to do with that!

[NzO41]

Wooot!

[draggsgo135]

slap bass solos are overrated

[Ludovikque]

where's your vid ? i don't see a big bass solo in your profile..

[nonfamerik]

nice job i love that solo ever since the first video of i saw of les playing it dont listen to bassist88 i think he's jelous he probably sucks. that was a really good solo dude asians doing slap on bass i know hahaha.. but shit theyre good apparently

[jathero]

You are an awesome bassist! Keep it up. Drummer sucks though =/ Off-beat.

[bassist88]

Unable to play and stand at the same time?
