I hate to be disrespectful, but what the heck is this? Is is a joke, or is it serious? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEffhbNCQpU
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

No reason he couldn't be a bass genius |

| | | | This guy might be a genious, I don't know, but this clip didn't show it. Meaning no disrespect!
Yeah, Dave Overthrow was rockin'! |

I don't know what this guy's credentials are, but watch some Bootsy Collins or Larry Graham next to that and the "Bass Genius" looks pretty foolish.

|  | put a bird on it | | Join Date: Dec 2000 Location: Minnesota | | well, he shows discipline 
thats one of the first slap bass solos I've heard where the player doesn't play 200bpm--i actually hear more groove in what that guy was playing compared to the random guitar store bassist(/flea)
granted i still wouldn't consider that a genious show of ability. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Philadelphia, PA | | | It's probably from an instructional video. It's probably for beginner slap techniques. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: hawaii | | | it was decent. since it did say it was for instructional purposes, i would assume he was playing stuff that others could learn. he could probably play circles around many if he wasn't teaching.
btw, why are people spelling genius with an o?

| | | | He's showing slaps and pops at slow speed - something that newer players don't often get to see.
Yeah, he's got the whitest groove ever, but he's not trying to play in the pocket. He's trying to show the techniques.
