This man made me fall in love with slap.

So I've actually met this guy - I was in Barcelona randomly and saw him on the street doing a thing with a tap dancer. I will post a photo.

I reported it already. That's what the little caution sign is for in the upper right corner. Feel free to do the same.

This is obviously some regular here using a new account, but the staff have the IP address for everyone so...

I'm pretty sure we know who it is.

But hey, I have a pretty brown skinned wife, and they don't...

I had to go look it up because I couldn't imagine that he said what he did. Amazing that there are "people" like this still left in the world.

Your wife is gorgeous. You are a lucky man.

Why thank you very much! She's a great person too... my best friend. I'm doubly lucky because she's 18 years younger than me!

If you go back in the thread one person took offense to my opinions about bass as a melodic instrument, and not just a supportive one. And I felt it was a bit self righteous to think someone should play guitar instead of bass just because they play a lot of notes. They said a lot of nonsense about me, half of which was in a PM, such as "I listened to your music. You are OK, but you are not who you say(and think) you are".

So I posted a VERY long post defending my views, and showing them calling me a "simply another thrashing soloist, both in terms of notes and words" was baseless. I don't even have any bass solos in my music online! I have since removed it because it's pointless when you have someone like this. No one else had any issue with me, so for this new person to pop up and insult me is a bit suspicious. But it's in line with the original person's childish attacks. They didn't agree with me, didn't like me saying they were closed minded, so me and my music suck. That's the grown up way to deal with people who don't agree with you! I guess they felt attacked.

[Craigios]

Great player and his style reminds me of Michael Manring.

 

[JonathanD]

Oh...here it is again!

 

[Swerve]

Never get tired of this video, simply amazing.

 

[Disraeli Gears]

I've seen that video about a million times now...

And I could watch it a million more, and it wouldn't get old. That guy is an amazing player.

 

[Fnord Explorer]

That video makes me want to learn how to slap better now.

 

[tomas_almeida]

I have already seen this too many times now. But yes, the guy's a great player.

 

[LaMarquis J]

I don't like slap, or I didn't. It seemed to always be gross. Grouse as in overdone, over the top, too much. Clanky string, playing fast for the sake of playing fast.

But THIS
has changed my mind. If someone who can understand spanish(?) would please clue me in to his name and where he is from that would be fantastic.

If my hands could slap like that i'd never leave the bathroom!

 

[jbassp]

Oh man I saw this video a long time ago. His style of playing is so loose and fun! great bassist no doubt.

 

[faiz0802]

This guy adds a whole new dimension to Slap Bass... He adopts Mridangam technique on bass.

 

[nickc360]

He has a very awesome style, it's like a balance of slapping, chords, and actual musical sound. It actually sounds like a full song, and it needs no background
