  • i ended up at the wrong video, but as someone not knowing anything about this, it seems pretty cool and he seems like he did a good job

  • He gives me some idea on how to slap a bass , something that's new to me , now ,i'll go and practice that technique, so thanks to Bill for sharing your technique

  • I'm afraid of slappin' my old Roth. I need a good plywood for this. I'll buy one someday soon...

  • you people just don't realize that this explanation is just about the right hand. it has nothing to do with intonation or whatever,

  • i love how so many people bust this guys balls!! he never claims to be anything other than a guy trying to de-mystify learning the upright!! his videos come up because nobody else has taken the time to make better ones for youtube. was it out of tune??? yup!... but he's not trying to teach you how to play in tune...

  • Man, this guy is an "expert"?!  Blech

  • ignore the vocals. THe bass notes were yards out of tune.

  • I dont think Bill Black would have meanered thru keys like this dude does. His first verse is atrocious (nice technique tho... awful application).
