Dude. You are a load of fun and give great insight into some really groovy techniques.

Man, I sure, remember when the album “A show of hands“ came out. at the time, I thought I was so good at the bass LOL
Dang, that album was a wake-up call

Hey Daric, this is such an incredible and detailed masterclass from you. Respect and thanks a lot✊

[BARTFUNKBASS]

Last year, Vic said he is not able to play it anymore due to his illness :(

[mojito]

Thanks for break it down and expain it to make it easier for us to understand & learn how to play that

[maxbulygin]

that's a great masterclass. the only thing i want to point is that you kinda analyzed notes in an awkward way at 2:45 and up. the simplest way to think about this tune is in way of classical harmony. It's just like G | C | Dsus4 D7 | G and when you go to C chord it's 1-5-8-7 of subdominant chord (C) rather then 4-1-4-3-4 as you said. Thanks for you inspiration!

Awesome video! Super interesting. Thanks!

You should watch the live version of the Woot playing Amazing Grace..the harmonics he pulls off are amazing.

[flyerscout]

This is a great explanation of this technique. Thanks for sharing. (Edited. I need to learn how to spell).

[silentyouber]

Can you do a lesson on James Jamerson's technique. He really had a unique way of playing the bass.

[cagolan]

Yo this was a really helpful breakdown, thanks for this dude, you rock 🤘🏻

[michaelhuntley]

Love everything you talk about and show. Could you relocate the words to the upper right side of rhe video, so we can see your fingers.

[hotbiz]

You need to check out Charles Berthoud, playing Neurotica, now that is complex!

[acekiller]

What tuner is on your headstock? I like how it kinda blends with the headstock.

[shermetabrown]

I’ve always wanted to try classical thump is there a book where you can learn

[shameonlemon]

Hii
Thanks a lot!!!
Could you please tell us more about muting in this awesome piece?
I can't get how we go muting on slap bass when the higher strings are played

[asherschachter]

Great explanation- thanks!
Interesting aside: this piece is largely based on a Bach cello suite. Yo Yo Ma has recorded that piece:

[rayraytreeze]

the longer i look at your bass the cooler it gets

[kitendwamervin]

Who is the fool disliking this video...we dint ask for his opinion

[AGuyThatMakesStuff]

I thought he was slapping it, double thumbing it, then slapping it again for the triplet. This is way easier
