"I reckon this dude should play "bass" for Dragon Force lol. He'd fit in perfectly!"

Now, maybe it's casue I like them so much, but....Body Breakdown has sooomme bass.

 

[werbo1]

I think that gave me a heart attack

and i'm 17 - oh god

 

[Fieldflower]

He should definitely pick up guitar instead.

He plays solos quickly and badly - a perfect guitarist if You look at the average standard.

But PLEASE! let the bass go!
It wants to be with someone who understand and appreciate bass for being... bass...

... Speed comes in time. It shouldn't come first at the expense of technique.

Truer words were never spoken.

 

[d8g3jdh]

Um...maybe you should find a new teacher.

I never said anything about him being great for his age.

I did say, however, that if he sticks with it, he'll learn. Part of that learning will be what he hears from more experienced musicians.

I was a total wanker at the beginning, and I turned out just fine, and I know the same is true for a lot of players. I know it's fun to judge, and cut down others (which is different than "tough love"), but give the kid a break.

Hey I mean no harm. Not trying to start a fight or anything. But as someone else said, what reason would someone have for posting a video like this other than showing off? Any time someone is showing off on the internet and sucks balls doing it, they deserve everything they get, no matter how cruel. It'd be different if he was jamming like this in his room and didn't think anyone was around and someone was taping him secretly and posted it online. Then I'd chalk it up to the kid getting a raw deal, but it's obvious that this kid thinks he's awesome enough to make videos of his awesomeness and post them for others to see how awesome he is.

No hard feelings. We'll have to agree to disagree.

jesus hates whoever that guy is.

 

[Bassmanbob]

"Step away from the bass and put your hands behind your head. Repeat. Step away from the bass. This is your last warning!

Good point Jake, I just can't help being grateful about the absence of internet when I was a pup.

 

[Shearstown]

I am 17 aswell and I'd prefer not to be associated with this. Yes as many of us do I solo from time to time. But a solo is just wank if it's not keeping time, keeping the groove, and keeping the song together.

 

[Minger]

The video...wow. I'm not sure if he's having a seizure, but I was waiting for the strings to snap on him at any moment....

 

[Bard2dbone]

If you have to post a bass solo from someone we don't know, I liked this guy better.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

And this one's better still...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Or even this guy...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

And I like this guys' shirt. Who is he?

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

edit: It says Chris Targia. What's his screenname? I would like his piece a lot more without the distorted tone.

 

[Mike Flynn]

Holy crap - I just watched it again - it's probably the funniest thing I've seen in a while - I can't fault his enthusiasm - his smile at the end says it all: "I am a baaadaaaassss..."

+1!!!

[leffe luffer]

That was amazing!

Not ONE SINGLE note that wasn´t dissrupted by noise.

Lesson learned: If you cant produce two clean sounding notes just try playing everything in 200bpm with no rythmic space bettween the notes. No one will ever hear that you are only causing frettboard noise.

These two are really sweet. Thanks for passing the links along.

Never did Fieldy any harm, in his career!!
