That kid is tough. He looks like he's nine although he's thirteen. He lost the groove a little bit on that last fill with the octaves, but other than that, he is mighty smooth.

Good Gravy! That kid is awesome. Don't give up though, me and you could probably take him in a street fight.... We'll show the little guy a thing or two.

The kid has talent.

Always remember that music isn't a competition...it's about "expressing yourself" and "creating", not about "who can play the fastest or most complicated stuff".

Technique is simply a tool to help you create.

A great bass line can be 3 notes or 300 notes - whatever fits the song.

Yeah, it was smart to have the kid's back turned, he could have easily lost concentration on his groove!

On second thought, he could have handled it. That's Brazil, he's been looking at unbridled booty his whole life!

I don't feel bad, I just tell myself I'm a different 'style' bassist and leave it at that.

No doubt--that age---this kid is fantastic and I'd lay odds, minus stupid things happening, he'll end up somewhere is bass history as one of the best at some point in time. I mean, if you are 9 yrs old, and already has what he has-----WINNER!

Hopefully the kid will put out an instructional video soon~ he can call it "How To Play Your Butt Off By Age 13".

A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste!

The kid SUCKS! Notice, for example, his awful technique: he holds the bass so low it almost touches his ankles, but at the same time it's so high it almost sits in his armpit! Then again, I guess that could be because the bass is bigger than he is!

Okay, I'm kidding...kind of sick to watch, no?
