Blues Bass

[@zenos.5315]

These two musicians knock it out of the park, and back again

[@peckerhead1038]

he is one of the best bassists that I have ever seen. I mean seriously, this guy can play. You are integrating blues and funk together which is awesome.

[@dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465]

Funk is blues

[@guillaume1306]

Clap clap clap!!! **whistles loudly** Not only this guy has a fairly decent groove, his playing is really tight, but he also kicks all the crap about Blues. "Blues ain't boring" and he his damn right. Jaco, Miller and Miles, all of them have the blues as a foundation. The 1/4/5 cadence is very simple and this is why one can let the creativity and the technique grow. Nice vid, congrats !

[@RolandArnold]

from 1.21 on i could listen to this all day long. this is purely the rolling stone that never stopps and anyway how you are feeling you know live keeps on rolling...........

[@54449t]

I love your philosophy - You are so unpretentious and such a great inspiration. There are way too many people with 1/4 of your talent that have so much ego and that's so refreshing.

[@Sopra151]

Es increible lo que se puede lograr con los instrumentos, gracias amigos por regalarnos este tipo de videos, estos sonidos son fantasticos. Les saludo desde Rep. Dominicana.

[@PhoebusRose64]

best tone ive ever hear!!!

[@javierlocutor]

Hi Doug, as a drummer myself, I believe you are a talented and interesting bassist to play with, and you seem to be a very good person, my respects for you, keep doing that good job... Cheers!

[@Cornbreadddd]

You seem to play the blues in a very interesting funky context, over some time of listening to your stuff you've grown to be one of my favorite bassits, amazing.

[@dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465]

Funk is blues

[@munkeypumper]

Holy shit that is some of the best playing I have ever heard

[@Jpb90k]

[@MrDiscordinated]

[@canvoodoo]

man there is a lot of boring shit to sift through on you tube as far bass gymnastics go but your fantastic. A really good find.

[@shogun1669]

que bello es de admirar

[@FanOfZeppelin]

"Blues" is typically used to refer to the 12-bar V-IV-I progression, not the scale. You'll find the blues scale used quite extensively in jazz, soul, and gospel.

[@ianidinuse]

@buzzjohns No problem man! Thanks, will check the video out. I'm seeing George Benson live tonight!

[@azuanmdshah7945]

nice blues sound.

[@emflores34]

blues is life!!!!

[@aznbmxer182]

wow man your really really good!

[@Zombbg4]

These guys are dangerous!!!!!

[@TW5411200474]

blule note but i feel funk.. does some one feel like me?

[@ColossalZonko]

because of the slap technique i think,... maybe it's happy-blues?

[@politeism]

wow, thanks for the music, i really enjoyed it.hehe

[@JoeyBullet222]

Godly tone.

[@sebajo82]

The Chicken! amazing arrangement!

[@philippelenzen]

je la garde directement dans mes favoris

[@gornlockheart]

This is the best thing ever. Is the chicken 1 4 5 to? It sounds so complex

[@diggablemanny]

Alot of funk and jazz players incorporate blues. They all have similar progressions, sort of. You can jazz up your blues, or funk up your blues. I'm in the process of learning. Any recommendations on blues players. I like JPJ of ledzep. Rock, but he plays blues rock stuff.

[@DarthVultar]

the bassist rocks my socks!

[@sbafer]

excelent...!!

[@frozenar]

he got a matching drummer for his bass

[@ianidinuse]

Of course you had to end the video with The Chicken ;) I've been playing for about a year now, most I've ever learned in under 7 mins. Mad skills man. How do you make it sound like you're popping? Just like Abraham Laboriel SR!

[@catatonicandgin5548]

Very nice

[@wahraoeh]

It's Blues cos they're rockin' to a standard progression of 12-bar blues (4 bars each of 1, 4 and 5). Besides, Blues is the mother of all rock n roll (jazz, funk, rock, what have ya)... all derivatives that came from those 12 bars. Funk here is the groove they used to carry the blues progression... funkified blues, basically.

[@ShaunOGX]

amazing!

[@gg41r]

Dude sounds like Huey Morgan from Fun Lovin Criminals. Kick ass bassist too. only a few yrs ago, i would have dismissed this as show off playing...now, i cant help but admire the skill in such playing

[@RriverJJ]

very cool

[@337camo]

god damn you are awesome!

[@Outie1179]

Damn straight!

[@ronifahreza4843]

Mantapp Oom.....!!!

[@Usuariodeloscojones]

woooooow, yeah!

[@XtraFormat]

I find it cool !!!!

[@andersongroove]

nossa esse soh he maneuiro mesmo essse cara eh bom !!!!!!1

[@tutohead]

awesome

[@vkavcic6]

very,very nice........

[@samvt]

omg pocket! nice playing.

[@MrDiscordinated]

nice drums

[@lanfisher]

Great job! I just wish the bass had a direct line into the recording so it was more dominant in the mix.

[@jayblazestyle]

too good

[@teddyfagerstrom]

Hey.... blues is a feeling, not a set way to play!!! I really like your playing!!! What gear are you using??? Effects??

[@bombich91]

Great ;-)

[@o.j.a.n.4655]

nice perfomance

[@baptthebass]

Lol the same hair reminds me of Jaco till this man plays the bass in a WOWing way!!

[@LivingLife84]

because that bass is awesome and he attacks the string hard.

[@NextDayMoney]

I got 2 words for ya, fellas... THA SHIT!... Going in my favs...

[@rufusvanrugburn]

wow that was kick a##

[@herrdruhl]

Tal who??? This dude and Richard Bona, are the best I've ever heard. But I know there's others out there...

[@theguitfiddle]

Are you improvising at 1:50 on this video or is that an actual song? That is a monster groove!

[@saltybildo4415]

It's about the progression blues is in everything if ya pay attn

[@wenzie12]

WOW MEN.,... u r freakin' blues master... very nice.. i wish i could me as gud as you... yeah!!!

[@aleisterbroley900]

I always hated hearing bassists complain about playing blues... If it's boring, that's because you're making it boring. Nothing but room to stretch out and still hold the groove and hit the changes. Even playing around with little nuances in your attack and timbre, in the way you fret and sound the note... I could easily amuse myself for hours with those things alone, without ever playing an outside note or a run.

[@bank809]

สุดยอดดดดด!!!!!

[@binadms]

how does he get the thumping sound out of the bass? do I need to get a pedulla to get that kinda percussive sounds/tone?

[@JustusVidyo]

woah shit thats what i call inspiration

[@nanoboti]

THaa funk man!

[@stefanmorgan795]

rockin

[@atteleo]

1st of all Funk is about the playing style (slaps , pops and ghost notes in bass), and Blues is about the scale , so a comment like "hey thats Funk and not blues " is really kinda dumb "expert" comment. One can always play the blues scale in funk style

[@BadFad2008]

This is a Pedulla MVP bass guitar.

[@Microxz141]

this vid make me wanna learn bass to the death!!!!!!

[@JustusVidyo]

ah the chicken is such a great piece

[@Mnk33127]

What's the name of the bass please ? Good job

[@melisarabbani212]

I found Victor Wooten lick 😍

[@FickryAwalludinKocek]

nice..
