ah, reminded me why i hate bass solos AND dueling basses.

armywalaby · #3 02-20-2009, 02:43 AM

That's a very fast two finger style.

Fretwank yet again - oh dear!

This stuff does absolutely nothing for me. I prefer to hear songs being played, and like to hear melodies.

Playing like that in the clip is basically practicing your instrument in public.

Thanks for posting that.
I rather enjoy a good bass wank now and then.
A guilty pleasure if you will.

Not my cup o' tea

chrisintosh · #7 02-20-2009, 04:09 AM

Can you use an afro-pick to do bass slides?

Soloshchenko · #8 02-20-2009, 04:19 AM

If people want to play this kind of thing I have absolutely no idea why they play bass.

They should go listen to some Larry Graham/Justin Chancellor/Nathan Watts and realise great bass playing is all about the songs.

Wow. That was terrible. Like, Gray's Anatomy terrible. Talented people trying way too hard.

Yep...very boring

nortonrider · #11 02-20-2009, 02:01 PM

I could only make it through the first 2 minutes.... hopefully the second half was better than the first?

paganjack · #12 02-20-2009, 02:06 PM

i can't play like that but i kind of wish that i could not that i would once i could. make sense?

sounds like a bunch of haters to me...its definitely not practical in band situations but groove nonetheless.

Really? You thought it was groovy? I thought it was the opposite of groove. Not just the absence of it, like dark is to light, but some sort of groove black hole, sucking in all the groove around it. A type of Anti-Groove.

Now I have to to listen to "Hot Pants" 20 times in a row to restore my internal groove tanks. Feel free to join me:

I think those guys are in Guitar Center everytime I go there.

nortonrider · #16 02-20-2009, 02:28 PM

No Hating here!
It sounded like Afro-Pick was getting it done but Malmsteens "wheedley-wanking" just wasn't meshing.

Valerus · #17 02-20-2009, 02:29 PM

that guy should be pretty good with a trigger
