the IRS will never find a 16th note unaccounted for

[ScantmanTV]

find someone who looks at you the way Sonny T looks at a Joe Dart bass solo

[carll.negleyiii]

Holy cats. Money reference was cool. Impressive note choices and just plain playing strength from Hell. Notice he pushes hard as hell with his left hand but no pinky finger. Interesting power finger style. 5 stars. Great performance. Great lesson too.

He makes me want to put flatwounds on my bass

[gto]

Wow..i would like to see him live. That type of playing inspires others to play.

[NWOrba]

He put everything he knew into that solo!

[NYCJazzFan]

Killer! Saw them in New York this month and they blew the roof off the place.

[jackattack]

mother front door. the stamina required for this is something I think every bass player can appreciate even if it’s not your favorite style.

[gamerpro]

It's nice to see Dennis Rodman back from North Korea and back on the drums.

[ImJustStandingHere]

Sonny T off to the side enjoying the shit out of it lol

[DanVYouTube]

Amazing! Out of curiosity what's with the guitars on stands instead of them wearing straps. I have been playing in bands for 40 years and I never seen that!

[joshdobedoe]

Joe is great obviously, but I love hearing Nate interacting with him

[mirkomarkovic]

I like him very much but i wish he would play something different from the pentatonic/blues scale once in a while.

[CalzaSoze]

And then Koko snapped a string which pinged off into her eye, sending her into an uncontrollable rage and ripping Flea to pieces.

[santischon]

alguien que por favor sepa como se hacen o consiguen esos soportes que usan para el bajo y las guitarras?

[Itabouttodo]

No Joe!! You do NOT do that. That’s bad! Bad Joe. Too much funk.

[adrummer]

What's with the instruments on stands?! Seems crazy unnatural.

[aleksamilic]

Ko vas je platio da glumite radničku klasu?

[callingchristiano]

Sorry ... Sorry but ... hum hum... Joe is a top bass player. But this solo is not very interesting, on a musical way. I would like hear him playing on a pop song, like Pino did with Paul Young ( for me his best work ) ... this should be a real challenge, a Real One !!

[OldGirlDad]

I get why the throngs are impressed. But they don’t know any better. And the guy is a good player. But seriously. A bunch of 16th notes strung over a single chord using a single and quite trite pentatonic run with no obvious melodic concept is just not that hard to make sound like something and tons of unemployed youtubers can do the same thing. It’s the very rare bass player who doesn’t sound like a bass player taking a solo and who can actually play over a set of changes in a melodic way. Jaco was one. Jeff Berlin another. Many Jazz upright players. But this guy is no different than most. Sorry. Not impressed.
