Recorded this today using my BOSS RC-50 to get good audio quality. On the camera's audio it goes a bit distorted and you can hear people on MSN messaging me lol

There are one or two points where I hesitate a little bit you'll probably be able to spot them not through my expression through my playing. Have a look though and see what you think. Any feedback or constructive criticism is much appreciated

Hope you enjoy.

sweet! I love your tone and your playing. I really like this piece, and im impressed.

Good job man. Tough song.

Pugz · #4 09-07-2007, 03:11 PM

Thanks

Usually my tone is a bit edgy and sort of Marcus like but with this song I put the high mids up for the harmonics and also during the chorus i click on my Boss EQ pedal which boosts the mids further which really makes the harmonics chime out.

Excuse me while I go practice...

Good job man.
Some spots here and there are iffy, but overall it's good!

Yea, I seem to hesitate a lot when I know I'm filming. I didn't really have the patience to do loads of recordings to get a dead on perfect recording. This was the third take, first time wasn't as good, second my door bell rang so I ended up using this. Thanks for positive feedback though

And thats why 24 frets are good!
But yeah good job man a tricky little ditty

Yea 20 isn't always enough for victor wooten songs. Some of his fills can't be done on a jazz simply because of that. I think my next bass will have a 24 fret minimum requirement

That was great dude! Really clean (for the most part) and nice tone too. I imagine Vic would be proud.

A couple of dodgy spots but very impressive overall, you captured the vibe! That was very cool!

Enjoyed it a lot, bass sounds really nice too.
You don't quite copy every note exactly but I see that as a good thing.. You should give it your own twist and put some of your individual interpretation in it which you did..
Congratulations !

The way I see it is why copy it exactly note for note even if you can? It's STILL gonna sound better by Victor :P His guns are bigger than mine too so he wins in the sound alone (Fodera > Fender)

I enjoyed watching that. You did a good job. Interesting slap style you have. Keep up the good work man!

Guess I'll take that as a compliment

My slap style is a bit weird I guess but it works eh? I prefer having a slightly unusual style. It's just the way I figured it out when I first picked up a bass and tried it. Never looked back.
