HOW IS THIS GUY...........

[Dug2]

not way more known/popular/famous. lately im looking for stuff on youtube to re-ignite
or inspire me to push harder and get better. the stuff he comes up with is just insane but
in an original way. i would say; yeah, watch him and cop some licks......but.....hes a lefty playin
the hell out of a right handed bass (so thats not gunna happen anytime soon). how would this guy take lessons and from who, not like he needs any. just wanted to see if anyone thinks he's like i think
he is.

all good man, just posted this because he kinda freaks me out. im sure others will think the same

He definitely has chops! Because the average person likes pop music, and pop music requires that you be a crappy 'musician'

He is quite the player...
But why is he playing a right bass flipped over? Not even the string order is changed?

 

[Dug2]

why ask why, some things cant be understood fully. i find i listen to songs he covers on the tube
that i normally wouldnt like, but he has something that keeps me listening. i wish i was half as good

well, for one thing --- he can pick up anyone else's instrument and rock it, and since he started playing at 4 years old, probably using whatever someone else owned made the most sense...

Nice...but what's his name? I didn't catch it.

What's the best sock for metal?

Not unlike Jimmy Haslip, or Dick Dale, Albert King, & Doyle Bramhall II in the guitar world.

Not to mention Steve Miller's monster bass guy of the 70's, Gerald Johnson...


It would be so easy to do it this way if one is a lefty and just starting out with no "proper" instruction as to how to set up an instrument. Whatever works. Hendrix, whenever he laid down bass tracks, would just flip a 'righty' bass.

Certainly not Flea's. I'll spare everyone the photo, I think we've all seen it.

Not sure, but I've got a regular supply of lost-mate socks that would probably be great for emo.
