Prime example of overusing the slap technique. I bet he makes a band and the drummer does nothing but blast beats and the guitar does nothing but sweep.
@iAmRobertTrujilloFan keep your hand loose, but your wrist tight. dont try to beat the hell out of the strings either. its more like aggressive fingerstyle as supposed to slapping
Keep your thumb at a 90 degree angle to your wrist and hit with the bone in your thumb, try and get above the very bottom of the fingerboard, there's no shortcut, you just have to keep practicing.
@iAmRobertTrujilloFan there is no way to slap, its all personal. im 15 and i asked my bass teacher to show me how to slap, he showed me a lick but he said to just spend 10 minutes slapping and finding a comfortable feel and bounce, its all up to you bru
You did wrong. Why should you compete at all in music? You play music for fun, to enjoy, to enter the world of your own... Not to get a medal... Or do you?
you forget about everyone else and try come up with your own way of playing things. He's good but so long as he replicates the techniques of those that preceded him such as Victor Wooten he'll only ever be in their shadow. Composition is where true respect for a person talents lie. Anyone can imitate if they practice over and over and over. Some people take less some take more practice. Never forget that playing an instrument is an outlet for your expression.
well simply making a nice sound on a instrument doesnt mean that you particularly amazing at it, for instance hysteria by muse, sounds kinda complicated and well epic but in the end its really easy to play, same as with bombtrack by rage against the machine, sounds complicaded but isint, now im not saying he not gd he is, just not as good as you may think, cause if you get slapping sounding right i.e. the right techninque playing just 4 tripplets sounds epic even tho its easy
I understand because he's mimicking someone else's playing, it's based completely on performance, and if its easy, making it sound good doesn't come hard. But I still want to differentiate playing good and playing difficult. All of Jonny Greenwood's guitar playing could be mimicked by a player with two or three years of experience, but he's still regarded as a great musician because of what he's able to create. I see exactly where you're coming from when it's only playing though.
wow guy! ur my god! I start to do a bassist on ur age more on less and 3 years later, I don't know to do this still! hehehe :P I've got ther styl but hey kid, if u decide some day be bassist, u've got lot of future! ;)
@MrJaapKooiman maybe but then again how much more can you change amazing grace right? will agree this shows off more skills but a lot of people missed the point of the other one you know.
@xxtheklonexx Yeah, true, but then just don't put it on the internet, I wasn't really impressed because it's also just not a bass song, and when you can't really change a song into the caliber of your instrument, it's better to just not play it.
people like slapping too much. people didnt really like his other videos but as soon as he starts slapping everyone loves him. but anyways he is really really good
@DivineWindOfTheSnow i know, i think his amazing grace cover was amazing. tbh slapping isnt THAT hard. i find harmonics very hard so i like his amazing grace cover alot
Especially the artificial ones. I can only do the natural ones. But I try to learn as much as I can. But this cover was very good and his technique was clean as heck. Only ignorant people say mean things about such skill.
@matthatsbass Well that's because slapping is much harder and sounds much better than the amazing grace. With the amazing grace cover he didin't show off his skills, but with slapping and poping he showed what he's got
holy shit man i saw your other vid where you were playing like an american hymn and i was like alright thats 'ok' i guess for someone starting but now you are crazy
this kids 14. if you read my comment, youll notice the word "next" is there. meaning he is not as good as victor now, but definitely has the potential to get there. shut the fuck up, im entitled to my opinion
Great but, Unfortunately if you keep going this direction the only peeps who will appreciate your talent are bass players. You're headed in the direction of Satriani, Wooten, Jaco, & so many other greats. Unless you curtail into less = more & learn to work with a "BAND" you're destined for a life of YouTube accs, Bass Clinics @ local shops & if you're lucky tributes when you're old. Get tight, but don't get 2 tech or else you'll have to get a job like the rest of us to earn a living! Good luck!
