Man, I love your tone and your teaching style is right down my alley, it makes me wish I played Bass.

@caramip thanks man! i love the bass.

If you refuse to learn fingerstyle and stick to just pick playing then you limit yourself as a bass player or vise versa the other way around. I don't play with a pick yet but i'm looking forward to learning this style.

[grandvizar]

i totally get what you're saying and agree with you, conceptually. my point, however is that we live in a very pro-finger playing/pop slap bass world, and i am very vocal about being pro-pick, b/c some bassists look down upon pick playing. i'm here to say, there is absolutely nothing wrong with pick playing, and that there is an art to it, and you can be a badass bassist with a pick. does that make sense? let me know if you need any tips or pointers. always happy to help.

improvised styles from years of experience is the best, this is great, and your lesson not just a lesson, it's an entertaining lesson, not the type that makes me want to forward just hearing the bassist play the notes.

hey what type of box is that mini-amp?

[grandvizar]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I love to be silly and goofy when I teach, and joke around. Makes it more entertaining for me and the person learning. The mini amp is called a "HoneyTone". Pretty decent for such a small little thang!

Dude, I dont care if you played the riff with your pecker... your creative, and you have a sound and tone. Thats all that matters. Very funny too. "Theres my cat..." LOL!!!!!! Keep up the badass work. Teaching the world its not about whats correct but what makes you happy. "Where the fucks the camera..." LOL!!!!

[Sk8rBigAl]

Lmao you encourage people to break their fingers lol dude ur hilarious

[89MazzaUK]

Dude, you are amazing. Don't stop what you do man!

[nwarollinna63]

Dude I suck playing with a pick but this shit is great. I'm gonna try and learn to play this. Fuck the haters, you play yo way and let them hate. Btw this video made me choke on my food laughing at some of the sarcastic ass shit you was saying. You're the shit in my book man.

[MrWiiPS360]

How thick should the pick be to get that sound?

[energypoptarts]

do you like big black cuz there bass riffs are like that

[polishpirate123]

" I like dirty nasty bass tones that sound like SHIT!"

Man I feeeeel you.

[devodrummer]

sid vicious could not play the bass. literally. they would turn his amp off in concert, and he does not appear on nevermind the bollocks. he was just a good image fit. not judging him for that, but there is no way you can compare him to any actual musician.

Tell this nonsense to John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) :)

Sid Vicious, the bassist of the influential punk rock group Sex Pistols used a pic.
