What in the nine hells? That was ... painful

What gets me is that he played this...then thought to himself, "Yea...this is definitely something I want the world to see."

tabs are not helpful if you can't tune you bass to the key that is on the recording.

Tuning sidenote...I saw an ACDC coverband that was very good a while back. Trouble was the someone in the band kept going out of tune every couple of songs. Then everybody would tune without muting or tuners.........Now that was painful. I wanted to run out to my car and bring them a tuner.

This was my first impression as well, still. . . .

This does seem difficult to explain.

twenty bucks clip on tuner! Dude that was so wrong!!!!!!!!!

 

[skychief]

i liked it. off the beaten path... the guy's a pioneer. only prob is the song is in G but the guy is playing in C#. Other than that, it rocks

Is he out of tune or just in a different key than the record? It's like being in church. Some people sing in a different key than everyone else. Or those losers at cub park that try to sing the 7th Inning Stretch. Maybe he's just on a higher level than most of us? NAH! Next time I'll just put an earwig in my ear...less painful!

Whatever the problem there he's gotta be tone deaf, I'd suggest switching over to drums asap.

Most youtube videos make me think that.

Painful, the wounds may never heal!
(you would imagine he could hear it was out of tune)!!

 

[Saxn]

That HAD to be a joke, right??

It must've been, because it cracked me the hell up! But I have a sick sense of humor sometimes.

I wish I could tell a sea story without hijacking the thread... cause I think I played with a guitarist once that I BELIEVE must have been that guy's brother... t'were hilarious!

This man is clearly an avant garde visionary. This some next level stuff, man. Seriously, though, he's good when he's in tune, plus he seems to genuinely dig what he's doing.

The guy is destroying an Elton John tune! What's not to like?

 

[WilliamSandoval]

Now I'm not bashing picks, but it would sound less "egdy" if he used his fingers.

You must have seen my videos ... they are horrible! but... I don't care... what gets me is people watch my videos for a few seconds at least... i have a hard time watching them. That being said... I need to post some better videos as I've improved much since my last one... I have a camera to use instead of the laptop webcam

he learned it in the wrong key
