WHAT?????

[Eric Grossman]

I hate to be disrespectful, but what the heck is this? Is is a joke, or is it serious?



Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

 

[fryBASS]

it wasnt bad. not a "genious" though.

 

[Muusers]

pff...genius, then im a genius too and id have psychic powers

 

[bryanjnkns]

Well...he's not that bad, but mosdef not a genius.

Dave Overthrow on the other hand...he can jam!

 

[Agent Blue]

His technique is fine but he's just not groovy.

 

[Grueber]

not bad at all.

No reason he couldn't be a bass genius

 

[Fretless1!]

This guy might be a genious, I don't know, but this clip didn't show it. Meaning no disrespect!

Yeah, Dave Overthrow was rockin'!

 

[Alan Vorse]

I believe the term "genius" has been tossed around pretty lightly in the last 20 years or so. I don't know what this guy's credentials are, but watch some Bootsy Collins or Larry Graham next to that and the "Bass Genius" looks pretty foolish.

 

[labgnat]

all i can say is there's no questioning why he disabled the comment section for this video

 

[justabass]

I reckon maybe he's a great teacher? I'm tryin' to see it...

 

[barebones]

Best I've ever heard.

[superbassman2000]

well, he shows discipline

thats one of the first slap bass solos I've heard where the player doesn't play 200bpm--i actually hear more groove in what that guy was playing compared to the random guitar store bassist(/flea)

granted i still wouldn't consider that a genious show of ability.

 

[Grueber]

What should a bass genius be playing?

 

[Kronos]

It's probably from an instructional video. It's probably for beginner slap techniques.

 

[centralharbor]

it was decent. since it did say it was for instructional purposes, i would assume he was playing stuff that others could learn. he could probably play circles around many if he wasn't teaching.

btw, why are people spelling genius with an o?

 

[jonny 290]

He's showing slaps and pops at slow speed - something that newer players don't often get to see.

Yeah, he's got the whitest groove ever, but he's not trying to play in the pocket. He's trying to show the techniques.

Voted "We're not his target audience."

 

[Anthbass]

Yeah, he's got the whitest groove ever, but he's not trying to play in the pocket.

Sad, but true. However, I did enjoy the Shaon Ray clips. Gal got groove, mm hm.

 

[GillesUnchained]

...he's got the whitest groove ever...

That's what I was thinking the whole time I was watching that clip.

 

[MonetBass]

He needs to work on his 'bass face'.

 

[barebones]

He needs to work on his 'bass face'.

That's funny. It reminded me that our singer's ex-girlfriend used to say that my own "bass face" resembled someone who just took a bite of too-hot mashed potatoes and I was trying to cool them off without spitting them out.

I now wear a mask on stage...
