LMAO -- Worst YouTube clip ever.

Here's one he put up a couple days ago------getting a little better-good for him! So he IS trying and I am glad for him aspiring to be a bassist. :D

Honestly I applaud him for keeping up bass. I strongly feel that playing an instrument is about having fun and rocking out, not being good. He's got tonnes of videos, and seems to be enjoying himself, so good on him.

But having that said I still find the '5 Minutes Alone' clip hilarious. I just can't help but laugh.

Why is everyone making so much fun of this guy?

He seems eager enough to learn.
(As Top Gear would say: ) ambitious but rubbish.
I like that in a man (or woman...).

The 5 Minutes Alone Play along: off course it sounds like crap, because the bassline on it's own is strange. He should've turned up the song louder.

Okay his timing was off. That's natural if you are a newbie and immediatly start playing metal. I've been there.
And I agree that he should get a tuner. D & G string were terribly out of tune.

I've seen another vid of him trying to play The Trooper from Iron Maiden. He is ambitious to learn the galloping technique from Steve Harris.
If hypotheticly this guy asked me to teach him a few stuff I would gladly. He has the right spirit and he doesn't seem to be giving up,... according to several videos he posted.
(I'd probably start with teaching him beats, metronome and pace.)

This guy should be reached out to by this bassist community.
Someone should invite him to TB.

For some people it takes time to be good at an instrument. I know a guitarist who was more rubbish than this guy on YouTube. But after 5 years he became a fairly decent guys to play with.


I do agree on one thing. If I was still in this kind of newbee stage I wouldn't post videos of myself playing. Unless if it were for asking tips and advice.

I agree strongly! It appears as though he is spending time working on his playing rather than going onto TB and bashing others for their efforts! He is definitely enjoying himself and having fun and most of all he is making music. There seems to be too many TB'ers that like to bash the beginners. I guess it makes them feel better about themselves.

ROON, I think you owe us all 5:27 back of our lives LOL.

All I got to say is that I'm glad he screwed up THAT song and not some crappy pop-punk emo post-something or other tune.



Edit: what if he's some supergenius phenom and just doing that on purpose for forumites to flame? (how's that for alliteration?)

You can't assume he is a beginner. None of us know when he started playing. Besides, he has clips from 9 months ago, and his most recent is 3 months ago, with little to no improvement. :hmm: I know I sucked once, and I know if I had clips of myself playing when I was a beginner I'd be laughing at them too. :p

Most people don't start to get decent until after their first 2 years. I notice this a lot, and noticed it with myself.
