[KalahariKAri]

[kyusho1]

Wow! Awesome!

[boob1019]

The best piano on bass I have heard... I mean that in a good way. Saw him with Joe in 1988. Blown away.

[tallicatube]

Beautiful,well done,inspirational•••Peace•••

[dh0420]

stu hamm is probably the most underrated musicians of all time

[frozencokes]

reminds me of murray hewitt

[AndrewIanWeir]

They should have got him to play at the Super Bowl instead of Christina Hah

[maxandre1989]

this is awesome man

[robinmorningstar1]

Wow...that was really beautiful. I clicked on it because I thought the thumbnail was of a guitar, didn't realize it was a bass until I began to watch. Just wonderfully done. Peace...

[CrystalEar]

Beautiful!

[420nyukkafoshizz]

Stu plays the dankest bass.

[JPastorius3]

Saw him play this at Bass Day '10, solidified his standing as a great bassist in my mind.

[drinker1976]

I am Canadian but this is absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!

[2tehnoobsho2]

tabs plz



[Ouscazz]

That is truly amazing.. gives me the goose bumps. =)

[theosu66]

Stu is the man.

[longfootbuddy]

alot of people forget that this song was written at a time when americans were fighting for theyr freedom against tyranny....now, when i see the flag of america, i think of tyranny....our government and the people that support it, have destroyed america...this is no longer a land of the free, it is the land of oppressive government and dictatorship...a land where the government is the master, and the people are subjects of the master...the opposite of the america over 200 years ago

[DustinReiner]

@longfootbuddy Outstanding, well said. 

[invisiblecrowe]

[joebonham1916]

Obviously very impressive but I am more interested in the bass as it pertains to being a part of a band.

[NYs1zzle]

[DaNoid1]

STU!!!!!!

[CHICKMAGNET66666]

hes good but i bet cliff burtons was better

[lummond]

I'm praying for either your sarcasm or your soul.

[RubenRandomFever]

@CHICKMAGNET66666

1. I'm a huge fan of Cliff Burton, but it was Jason Newsted who played this

2. Stu Hamm and Jason Newsted play it in a completely different way, and are therefore not comparable

3. I like both an awful lot

[ceallach67]

Stu Hamm is, has been and always will be THE MAN.

[Th3PrinceOfDarkness]

the very start 0:00-0:05 reminded me of steve vai-sisters

[CruelZacrifize]

Hes the fuckin best, damn he is awsome. I love this bastard

[MeTaLRuLeS420]

Wow! I'm ganna do my best to learn this on my Bass, but damn...it's ganna take forever! I'm add like 10k views lmfao

Stu Hamm = The Bass Legend

(Also with Cliff, and Les, rofl but shh...Stu rocks)

[saxabass]

[dangsxgomez]

And THAT is why Stu Hamm is the greatest!

[drebass366]

[blkndkrspy]

[Bassist218]

[emanuelVOXDEI]

q mostroooooo!!!

[scarlettfloods617]

I thought this was pretty sweet. It wasn't overdone at all, a perfect rendition I think.

[diegoaalzate]

where you get this video?

[lummond]

Was on the old Peavey website promoting his signature modelling amplifier. There were a bunch of other videos - too bad I didn't have the presence of mind to get them, too.

[itachi456789]

@lummond Dis nigga high yall!

[rarisgod]

that's ridiculously coincidental! wasn't it fun?! :D:D

[nakedboii]

i learned how to play this in 3 days its not tat hard

[rarisgod]

the fact that you felt the necessity to come here and post that this isn't hard just proves your own insecurity. Do not post that it is not hard when you are obviously lying. Unless of course you can post footage of yourself doing it.

[BassBeast42]

chill dude. maybe he meant it to be encouraging to people who were intimidated by it

[rarisgod]

I must apologize. I was a bit perturbed that day due to recent wisdom teeth removal and should not have posted that comment. please accept my apologies.

[BassBeast42]

dude no way! i just got mine out a couple days ago too.

[trb3666]

Stu Hamm is the greatest bassist, too bad the music sucks ass.

[coreymilne]

you sir are a disgrace to you country!

[davemurderbass]

"and now for the Australian National Anthem - Waltzing Matilda, Who bloody killed her? Found her in the grass with his finger up her ass!"

[wackinalot]

God bless the USA and this solo

[foowah7]

Wow, that's one of the best stu hamm things I've seen lately. Great stuff!

[kingkai97gf9]

dont know if this is bad to say but i cant rrealy read musiz yet but id kill for this tab...any one got it? pm me plz

[ryansilke]

why kill when you can learn the song yourself. It's easy, dude...

[acontreras1105]

this guy is freakin' awesome

[Ameerali27]

Your music penetrated into the soul my friend

[CricketNutter]

Brilliant! You guys have a great anthem too :-)

From UK

[EnvelopeGenerator]

I'm from the UK too, but I like to sing the Star Spangled Banner at random times just to confuse everybody.

[brosiph4x4]

i agree 100% on that on stew is bass god

[gobuckeyes77and7rhcp]

good but boring

[OriginAndAbsolution]

didnt look that happy to me as Description said

[dorshkov]

it was as a joke

[CORNFEDGRUNT]

Ex Airborne Infantry here....damn man....you are my hero, thank you.

[Sugarfan34]

Goose Bumps...every time I watch this video...AwEsOmE

[raoulfeb]

omg what a sound :X:X:X

[sbasedarmstadt]

Want to learn the the entire piece before i go to CA for one year. i have the first 45 sec figured out.

It's just so lovely!

[bassist101maty]

nice playing nd i like the scratch plate as well its a nice, i really need to work on my tapping

[Grillorigrillo]

made me cry, man

[vkere2006]

just AMAZING!!!

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

Beautiful

[Andreewo]

i love this guy,,......

[Groovy26407]

beautiful sound!

[Flabernat]

Holey Shit! Hahahaha, he's amazing

[fastfret55]

love your work:)

[Spiderpig619]

i wonder how hard it is to play this

[lummond]

Well, for most bass players, this piece is very very hard. However, if you have some skill with piano and 2-hand tapping, it's... just very hard.

[kevinman6]

i found tabs for a version of this on the internet (ultimate-guitar) but it isn't anywhere near this elaborate at all, though it does still sound pretty good

[lummond]

There's a PowerTab on that site that pretty much has this entire thing down fully. Check it out.

[kevinman6]

ok thanks, i think i will

[Markedupshoes]

SO BEAUTIFUL

[spandrhcpfan]

is he useing a precision bass or a jazz bass there? someone please reply to me

[jeffey217]

its a custom its got the fender urge

[flyingv87]

he used a fender stu hamm series!!!

[warmaster2006]

"The Urge" is his signature model

[Zander4724]

awesome chords!

if anyone has a minute, check out my solo bass piece:

tapping and harmonics solo bass - epic love

[jeffey217]

for the love of God this song ins hard to learn not gonna stop trying tho

[jeffey217]

im also working on it the same version and such i gotta play it before a basket ball game

[iferrit]

are you learning it by ear or do you have tab?

[jeffey217]

i have tabs and im using the video for refernce and such

[Zeion97]

I am currently working on this right now.

but I don't think I could be as good as this guy.

Have to give it to the person that turned the national anthem into a guitar song and then a bass.

[iferrit]

America!

[dynoda]

One of the best in the business by far!!!

[Tfizzlerocker]

wow.

what a beast.

[KtZA7]

Amazing bass player...he just makes the bass sound so lovely doesn't he? :D

Star Spangled Banner reminds me more of France and less of the USA...musicwise I mean...

[norms005]

an amazing country and an amazing player

[metalguitar123]

well put my friend.

[CrisMoser]

you cant argue over the internet efficiently but if you could i would win. I am a patriot and come from a military family. I am a future Marine, proud of my country and i support President Bush. I could easily debunk every left wing whack job thing you could say but again, the internet doesnt allow for this efficiently. If i could invent something to stab people over the internet id do it.

[spectorsam68]

I thought Stu Hamm was with Hartke, is he not?

[lummond]

Yeah - I guess that explains why the videos and amp are no longer on the site!

[sin2Pi]

Magnificent!! I'm speechless.

Anyone know what dvd this is from? It looks recent.

[lummond]

This was from the Peavey website for his signature amp combo. There were a bunch of videos - unfortunately, this one is the only one I had the presence of mind to save.

[WikipediaRules]

GOD BLESS AMERICA...*sniff*

[squidwombat]

fuck america

[dwodno]

COME TRY!

[thumpinassbassist]

fuck you in the ass squidwombat.........

[squidwombat]

It is a good performance, but america brings nothing good to the world just retarted celebrities, mcdonalds, and fuckin george bush

[lucasflflfl]

you should all accept that squidwombat is telling the truth.

george bush is killing people in iraq and you yankees(most of you) believed that it was just a mistake that sadam husseim had no mass destruction weapons.

fuck america.

[davehall2397]

People are often much more brave on the phone & online than they would be in person.

Where I'm from a comment like that made in person would likely result in an ass kickin.

[davehall2397]

previous comment directed towards lucasflflfl. Not sure why YouTube posted it out of order...

[thumpinassbassist]

okay, I agree with you on that point, but to just say "Fuck America" is bound to get negative results, I didn't vote for Bush, and I don't agree with the things that he is doing or has done, but people are people. We all bleed and die.

[squidwombat]

who are you voting for 2008

[thumpinassbassist]

to be quite honest, I don't have a clue who I'm going top vote for. I don't really care for any of the people who are running. I still have to research before I make up my mind.

[systemcky]

I should be president. At least I give shit about people and what they say. Sadly if you say america brings nothing good. If america was gone. the world would be fucked..

[lummond]

How about we stop the stupid fucking political bullshit and listen to an amazing player play an amazing song? Nobody give a flying fuck about what you think about anything, let alone politics. If you're going to argue, do so with a brain. Your spelling and grammar and general way of speech makes you all look stupid and your points wrong.

[DoTheBass]

yea squidwombat is right!! but its still played very good!!

[manfl3sh]

what

[juraganpasar]

not a biggest fan of the song but stu hamm is just amazing.

[Tayoballs]

I just love how he plays, His style is really cool. especially when he plays for a audience, He gets everyone involved (i.e. everyone starts to clap their hands to the beat) It's truly amazing.

[philippebasse]

fantastique

philippe

france

[EduardoAllo]

This is a brilliant musician and an excellent person...he knows to get fun playing, even with Satriani, where he just play what is necesary for the song...cheers!

[guitarguy21782345]

all tho most americans suck. this is almost better than hendrix

[muttville1]

sniff..snif....that was b u t full

[marshmallowhangar]

Phenomenal Stu! Once again Phenomenal! You are such an insperation.

[vonroden]

Beutifull! i am not american but Star Spangled Banner Is so sweet.

[bussbass]

Fuckin' A ! ROCK ON STU!
