Gov't Mule - Club Nokia 092309 - Sco-Mule

Sco-Mule performed by Gov't Mule from their show at Club Nokia, Wednesday 9/23/09. Tal Wilkenfeld on bass. Really kicks in around 5:55

(Excuse the COMPLETE DOUCHEBAG screaming the entire time in the background if you can make him out. Everybody around him was telling him to STFU...this guy was like in his 40's and "that guy" at the concert. Hope you die in fire, guy!)

Reply to Sk8er1103: Coming from a drummer with over 20 years pro experience - she is locked in - the drummer is off.

@dgdrummin

Not that pro musicians can't make mistakes, but this is a pretty common track for Matt Abts to handle on drums. Matt keeps his beat, I think any awkwardness comes from Tal's jazziness that aren't very natural to the rhythm.

[Sk8er1103]

i kinda hate it when Tal goes through the cycle of 5th's and up the whole tone scale during her solo, it just doesn't sound like it fits in. I am entitled to my opinion.

[kclapton23]

Nah, I agree, heh. Really, I don't think ANYbody will ever top Victor Wooten's performance on The Deepest End. He really just tears it up on that!

Great video! Were you the guy standing at the front of the stage that basically shot the whole show but had the digital viewfinder on the camera off so it wasn't quite so obvious that you were shooting the entire show?

[kclapton23]

Haha, I don't think so cuz I was checkin the digi viewfinder as I was shooting it. I didn't move from that spot (in front of Jorgen) the entire show. I was wearing a black shirt, chinstrap facial hair and faux hawk. I sound like a douche when I read that back, heh. I'm 26, so somewhat young lookin.

Sweet Jesus

man I just love the way she goes into attack mode on that fretboard

@Sk8er1103

Um, she's 24 dude. Not too many people are considered "all-time greats" at that age (Hendrix and Charlie Parker come to mind). It usually takes a little longer than 4 or 5 years in the public eye to be considered a master. That's a lifetime achievement.

What she is is an extremely talented young musician who has obviously worked very hard at her craft. If she keeps at it and continues to learn, then the skies the limit.

@dgdrummin She is off, very off, and sorry to say but kills the song entirely, never put this style bass player on this song

[tjmanson]

Tal can play anything. Nobody's making a 'mistake', rather this was her solo, and the drummer, rather than adapting to what she's actually playing, stuck to what he always plays. Great musicians immediately adapt because they see it as a challenge, and anyway it's easy for them, this drummer is good at what he does, it's just he's no Vinnie Colauita that's all. By contrast Tal occasionally deliberately throws in fusion riffs just to make things interesting. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not.

I want to jam with tal,,, then jump her bones,, she fuckin hot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o ya she also smokes the bass

[drumkeys1752]

What I heard was Tal phrase accross the bar and the drummer looked abit surprised. INHO the drummer plays pretty square anyway. Jazz players tend to stretch and condense (breath) with the time more so than rock players. I've not heard any awkwardness in the Tal-Vinnie recordings.

[TheBlakem]

what great Tone!

[muhammadisasissy]

@colleenmanzi - I completely agree with you sir. Tal is bad ass, especially for her age. She will only get better with time! Imagine what she will sound like in ten years. I can definately hear a Marcus Miller influence in her playing and he`s one of my favorites of all time. Do you hear Marcus in her playing? I could be wrong though; I am a sax & keyboard player professionaly , but I also play a bit of guitar & bass just to understand more.
