This is footage from a TV show on Globo, here in Brazil. That kid, Michael ''Pipoquinha (Lil Popcorn)'' Lima e Silva started playing guitar when he was 3. Some weeks after his 10th birthday, he began having bass lessons and won that 6-string from Arthur Maia, a famous jazz/bossa nova bassist.
Can anyone tell me which bass is he playing in this vid?
PS.: I wish that fat ***** stopped talking for a second.. he is well know for that.

He nailed that. I know 30 year olds that couldn't play with those kind of chops.
I expect to see him play with Tal Wilkinson in the next 10 years.

|  | Monster Mike | | | | | The best thing about it is the way he really feels it and moves, he's not at all like some mechanical trained puppet. The kid is really into the music in the best kind of way. It's so expressive and well-played because he really gets it, not because someone has told him what to do about 10000 times.
Watch his crazy moves throughout the performance. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
