Couple of guys asked me about my bass technique at a rehersal. The drummer (my buddy Ernesto) happened to record it on his camera. Played on my Ken Smith CR-6 bass.

(BTW this video is on youtube with the name "O Melhor Baixista Do Mundo" which is portuguese for the best in the world ............... My old buddy put that up there. I do not consider myself the best in the world nor am I anywhere close to that OK? :)

  • yeah i know what you mean

    Your style jams. Can you get your drummer to tape you doing another "Bass Technique"- where you expand on this video from 1:01 on to the end... just a few more minutes is good. It is one of the funkiest and simplest riffs i have ever heard. Just do even one more minute would be cool too.

    thanks
