Post by: Fourth Feline on March 20, 2009, 09:34:45 PM: Absolutely brilliant playing :D

Playing ( what in many parts ) looked like chord melody, at speed, on a Bass guitar - and staying loose and Funky ?

WOW ! - That man must be able to chill beer just by looking at it ... 8)

Post by: maverickf1jockey on March 21, 2009, 10:51:46 AM: Reminds me of the bass playing on a number of Zappa records in places (though that could just be because of a vague resemblance on the player's part...).

Post by: Roobubba on March 21, 2009, 05:35:19 PM: Whoa that lad can PLAY!

A bit strange that no more than 1 person clapped him at the end of that... I clapped and I'm sat here alone in the house at the minute...

Post by: Philly Q on March 21, 2009, 08:11:56 PM: Only just seen this... it always amazes me to see people who can play bass so effortlessly. Those big strings are so much harder to play than guitar strings (and they're hard enough).

I'm not the biggest fan of slap bass either, but in that context it's so musical, I really enjoyed it.

I HATE those arseholes who make disparaging comments about musicians on YouTube. Even if they can play better themselves, they should show a bit of humility and respect. Tossers.
