I just watched the Rush one. It needs work, especially in the chorus and as you said, the timing is pretty off in some parts.

So I'm not just talking about you here, but the thing I don't get about some youtube videos is when people make a bunch of excuses for their playing. My favorite is the "I didn't practise it very much" one... maybe it wouldn't hurt to actually practise before posting, rather than spending that time making excuses for why it's sloppy? I just find it really funny.

I was recovering from heat stroke, i was going to go to sleep :/

I'm not trying to be a hardass dude, I only said it because I've seen people make excuses in lots of other videos and I just think it's funny. Just keep practising is all. And anyways, at least you're playing good tunes. I wish I was into Rush at 14...

I don't mean to be mean, but did you even bother to tune when you did Disposition? That most definitely isn't a low D.

bassist 4 life · #6 07-02-2007, 02:50 PM

Check out that dude. He's got a lot of videos covering some Tool and just about nails all of J.C.'s parts. The dude's also got just about all of the same gear J.C. has.

Yup, he's "Walbassplayer" here on TB.

Did you have a deadline for these videos? Why didn't you wait until you were feeling better and better practiced before uploading videos?

I'm not trying to be mean, but this is also a "excuses" comment that many you tubers make. It may shock you to know this, I don't have ANY videos of myself playing along to songs on Youtube... and I don't see a problem with that.

I'm listening to the Rush one, not too bad, but if you're not feeling good, don't record yourself... makes sense to me.

I guess i should have recorded them when i was better, im going to re record them today. Its hard playing with nausea and a headache

, i was more focused on recording them than playing them well, see i would normally take a few takes till the video is perfect, but i just recorded these during the first take, i would normall start again when i make a mistake, but i just wanted to record them, im removing these now and il repost them later.

wow thats a long sentence

Tbirdbassist · #12 07-03-2007, 02:03 AM

Stop excusing and do them.

bassist 4 life · #13 07-03-2007, 04:08 AM

I said I will didnt I >_>? Im not making this stuff up, I live in the middle east in the middle of a desert, il eat lunch and il record them.

oh and btw, anybody know a program other than windows movie maker to sync up audio and video files?

Herrlster · #14 07-03-2007, 12:34 PM

I agree. I still don't understand why I keep seeing videos that these kids post that have disclaimers. Why post it? I wouldn't say I'm a show off but I would only post something that was kickass and done really well. No excuses needed. I would post something that I am proud of. Not something I need to explain.
It's like telling a joke and explaining why it's funny and why you should laugh.

But I haven't watch your vidoes yet(im at work) so this isn't an attack on you.

Does he have a Sunn head? I can't tell

I'm just wondering what floor processing unit he has too

GK 2001RB, I'd guess.

Notice the number of knobs and the long oval. Height gives it away for me.

It looks like a bunch of pedals, not a unit.

Look through his videos. He goes through his setup. He's got a GK2001RB with Neo 4x12 and a pedalboard of death. in that vid he's got an Ampeg 610 though, which got replaced by the 412.

Thunder Pulse · #19 07-03-2007, 06:57 PM

Just look at his profile, it tells you what gear he uses.
