Hey all, this is my newest solo bass composition. I tried to experiment alot of percussive sounds on my bass after being inspired by the song Helios of Michael Manring.

I just wanted to share this new bass composition with all you crazy bassists fanatic out there hehe

Have a nice day all!

Marco

Hey, Marco.

I don't usually watch clips like yours all the way through, because I'm not really a fan of that style of playing. But, in your case, I really enjoyed it. Your percussive punctuations at the pickup and headstock-area "pings" were very interesting. But, what I especially liked were the little melodic sections you revisit a few times (the tapping parts). This makes your composition more of a nice, cohesive "piece" rather than merely a display of intriguing technique. Nice job overall, I'd say. Thanks for posting that.

Great bass too, by the way. As a former Montrealer myself, I can only imagine that you picked up that G&L at Italmelodie (one of the finest music stores for bass gear in Canada, in my opinion). Is that true?

thanks alot man! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah hehe I bought that bass at italmelodie 4 years ago. its the best bass I ever played. I love it. But I only use it when I do my solo bass stuff. When I play in a band, I use my ErnieBall MusicMan Sterling.

The intro bit is crazy, but it seems to settle down into a sort of groove later. I like the tapping too.

Its not something I would have on my MP3 player, but its awesome none the less.

+1 At first I thought you were just some crazy wanker but it's clear you have talent. You DO have talent right?

That solo was amazing, had to link it to a couple of guitarists I know as yet another example of why bass is awsome... now if I could play half as well as that

The first tapped part sounds alot like something that I can't put my finger on. I don't really care for most solo bass music, but there were parts that I enjoyed alot.

There are a couple of parts in Old Bluesy that sound like a gag reflex! Sorry if it isn't meant to sound like that, but Wow!
