I dunno... some of the other stuff has appeal. Though it's different to us, doesn't mean it's mock-worthy. I wish I understood the language, though it's sometimes nice to listen to the phrasing without having a 'message'...

Looks very much like a local-access cable show.

Sadly, that bass player is the epitome of most of the guys that post in the Technique forum about how they have pushed all of the limits of thumping, double-thumping, tapping and all other Wooten-esque techniques and now they wonder what is left to conquer.

I think it's cool that he gets on TV and plays his arse off like that. Shame on you for making fun of him.

That may be the worst bass playing YouTube has to offer. I wonder if Marlowe could pull off that genre.?

"Onbeşli Shreds!!!"

Too bad about the bass player...the rest of the guys seemed to have their act pretty much together.

The name "Oktay" is apparently fairly common in Turkey and is well-known in science, sports (soccer) and various forms of the arts, including popular music (Turkish) since the 1970s.

Most people would never describe me as uptight or humorless, but I don't see a shred of humor or anything else that justifies mockery in that performance. The music is undoubtedly based on some scales, structures and other culturally-based forms that are foreign to Americans; but, for all the wonderful things America offers, many Americans are unbelievably parochial. Sadly, some feel compelled to ridicule anything they fail to understand.

Those who find that video funny and mock it are speaking volumes about their own shortcomings of exposure, intelligence, imagination and tolerance. I doubt the players in the video suffer from those same shortcomings.
