  • Ive been watching his videos alot and i think he was a bad ass until i saw the end

  • He put the strings on his bass in the 'wrong' order.

    Whatever might help one to develop his/her own musical personality is right i guess.

  • @SirJohnathan @baronvonsatan You're both right. A bass guitar is essentially a (tenor) guitar tuned lower. But saying they are the same instrument is like saying a Ferrari 350 Can Am and a Ford F350 are "the same motor vehicle" because they are both indeed motor vehicles. In reality they are vastly different, purpose built for different applications and used in an entirely different manner.

    Either way, Jeff is great and played an amazing arrangement.

  • @SirJohnathan They're in the same family. That does not make them "the same instrument." Next you'll be telling me a clarinet and a soprano saxophone are the same instrument just because they're both woodwinds and have a similar shape. Bass and guitar are obviously different instruments; I can't even believe I'm having this argument.

  • Wow... no, that's all, just wow...

  • This is absolutely, fucking fantastic.

  • @baronvonsatan Aside from scale-length difference - which is only there to compensate for the different string tensions - yes they are. They are both guitars, just at different tunings. The standard guitar is sometimes called a 'tenor' guitar (in that it sits between the alto and the bass), but the official tenor is different. There are also baritone guitars, then down to the bass guitar. In the way voices are classified, so are guitars; different ranges for the same thing.

  • @SirJohnathan What?  No they aren't!

  • @FiveBelowZero this dude isnt really a new kid on the block... he won the international bass composition competition a few years ago. He was a berkeley student, and is now a teacher and proffessional musician i believe

  • dang!!!! sounds a lot like a guitar
