Shameless YouTube bass solo plug...!

[stuart clayton]

Hi guys,

I've just uploaded a video of my bass solo with the Carl Palmer band to YouTube. It was filmed at Toads Place in New Haven, Conneticut last June. Check it out:

Enjoy!

Great stuff Stu!! awesome job man

[IAmTheDood]

very cool! .. love the lights on the neck .. nice touch!

oh and great playing!

[Baryonyx]

Classy stuff!

And some of that stuff you're tapping sounds awfully familiar, I recognise it, not sure where from though! Oh, and there is that slap groove in the 4th minute that I have heard you play before (Myspace page). Love it!

Right around 2 minutes it kinda reminds me of the Zelda theme. I really like it, impressive playing.

Hey Stu - On a side note, I really miss reading your articles/lessons in Bass Guitar Magazine. I subscribed to the mag for the year after they stopped distributing to the US, but I ultimately dropped my subscription as I didn't really care for the new direction. I wish they had retained Adrian as editor - it used to be the best bass mag on the planet!

[RWP]

REALLY good!

[Matt Till]

Your tone is perfect for tapping, when most bassists tap, I actually don't like it at all... especially in a solo setting, I'm more a fan of tapping in a song. But you have the perfect solo bass tone, modern, but not without guts, you know?

Tone aside, amazing playing... but then again, you probably already knew that.

Ahhh, the tapping section contains a quote of Billy Sheehan's 'NV43345' - Billy's a hero of mine, and I wanted to reference that influence in my solo.

Glad you like it.

Cheers

Great work man! And only about an hour away from my house

[Redhotbassist]

Nice playing, and a beautiful crispy tone.

And fairplay for slipping some sting in there!

[Eric Perry]

Very impressive bro. I wish I had those chops!

It's very Stu Hamm-ish to me, tone and all.

[enigmabass]

and is will cost me how much for lessons?....lol

[Lewis7789]

Stings "That's Not The Shape of My Heart". Very nice playing, man.

I was watching Stuarts bass playing but the stream kept on stopping so as I had to clear out my computer and reload windows I forget exactly what player I need to re install so I can watch all the videos that are featured on youtube and my space.Any help welcome

Really impressive.
I truly dig the metallic, punchy tone you get from your bass. Sounds really good, specially for tapping.

The solo is just a bit flashy sometimes, but the crowd obviously loves it.

Congratulations.

BTW, what bass is that ?
