[@ToddPritch]

I love how they rarely take their eyes off each other. Vibes are solid. True musical conversation.

[@abdullahchris9176]

[@xquesmuah]

i find myself always coming back to this

[@EvilSean62]

also!!!!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Awesome job by to world class bassists. Really great vibe.

[@dantro78]

I was thinking the same thing as I watched this: The time is just immaculate! These guys play with so much clarity that they can imply all the rhythmic feels without a drummer present - Two monsters!

[@stewmc5222]

Two of my favorite groove and melodic players together! How did I not know about this?? Love it!

[@Intenzity]

Improvisation #1 and #2....aka Blues in F and "There is no Greater Love"

[@huffnbassist8779]

Do you think Richard improvised the head to the Blues in F? It almost sounded familiar.

[@hahabass]

I love the way some musicians connect.

[@aquidoleblon]

I love you too, Richard...tons of musical love from Rio de Janeiro.

[@Existentialexplosion]

This my friends is real music, I have years to listen to a bassist that good!

[@zephdog]

Had to like it ,unlike then like it again!!!!

[@Dan_Dropper]

The improvisation #2 is not an improvisation, it's a song. I heard it months ago on a jazz radio when I was taking a shower so I couldn't save the song. If anyone here knows the song, please tell me. 🙏

[@zaporbas]

Cool:)

[@funkeemon]

It's not random playing. the #1 is 12 bars Blue, the 2nd is There is no greater love.

[@jangunnarolsen5946]

Shit! It's cool man!

[@wootener]

Walking Gods !

[@EvilSean62]

just got my upright bass after waiting 40 years ... can walk under the strings wearing a tall hat ... clearly chris has had a word or two with a decent luthier

[@christianskyumcarlsen9774]

Dansk TV, når det er bedst! :)

[@SUPER5DESTROY]

Bona crazy...

[@bkloppt]

superb cue @5:44 of chris. like this video!

[@EvilSean62]

drummers ...who needs them ... what this needs is a third bass player on a 6 string electric on a gr 55

[@skineyemin4276]

Evidently, they did.

[@somiberico]

@seiter13 Listen Chris Minh Doky solo...Before Jaco, i used to listen observations like your´s....This is bass played in the highest level..

[@celer.linares]

Fucking amazing!

[@memacho]

swing from the masters .-)

[@EvilSean62]

i cannot get my bass stable enough to do the thumb position transition smoothly ... im pretty sure its simple ... covid lockdown no lessons !!! oh ... your playing is godly ... plz stop for a bit and let the rest of us get a breather and then catch up ... taxiiii!!!!

[@THEclimberclimber]

Fblue and There is no greater love

[@Zachmozach]

@clancywiggam The origins of the double bass most assuredly come from the gamba and violone family of instruments. Bass guitar came from the guitar family is what you may have meant...

[@mimmenbacker]

well..well..well..!!!!

[@joaomenegalebarbi1586]

I have a big problem with bona in this video. When Chris is soloing, Bona keeps on hitting high notes, and that makes Chris solo hard to stand out.

[@hahabass]

João MenegaleBarbi You took the words right out of my mouth!

[@eisenyeo]

What's the use of a lower fifth string if you don't use it?

[@cmingus26]

Once in year you can play the low B 😀

[@marcolovebass]

здорово

[@Thedudeisadude]

@Rytmecharlie Wow! Fantastic Performances!!! Jeg går ud fra du er Dansk, Rytmecharlie, men just in case-> I absolutely love this video! I've been listening it to it constantly for the last couple of days, and I doubt I'll be getting tired of it any time soon. I was wondering if you have an audio file lying around of this, in high quality, or perhaps the original video, somewhere on the net? I haven't been able to find it. I would appreciate that a whole lot! Thx for sharing ur awesome vids! :)

[@stoneomonga407]

really Mad ting!!!!!!!!!!lol

[@user-sb6ws7mp8y]

richard bona changed guitar player

[@raidone7413]

6:18 nice baseline choice

[@MadnessOpus]

That’s called "superimposition”. You repeat the same pattern of intervals, but each time you go half a step higher.

[@mimmenbacker]

well...well..well..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Frontalobot]

@funkeemon That's what I'm saying!! I'm not trying to bring any negative energy but whoever posted the comment under the video should call it like it is!! 12-bar Blues in F, and There is No Greater Love in Bb. Two very friendly tunes to jam!

[@Frontalobot]

correction! Whoever produced the video should have called it as it was!!

[@clancywiggam]

@seiter13 Bass guitar. Upright bass is from the guitar family originally, not the violin, but more evolved, so it seems natural that these guitar based instruments should be played like a guitar. Don't be a muppet.

[@mixedfunkiez]

No words can describe dis OMG! but 1 question, does richard bona smoke weeds? seriously his eyes r red! hahahaq

[@seiter13]

@TheMushroomsAreHere no, i'm not

[@seiter13]

i'm really not into trolling, so this is my last post on the subject: first of all, my original comment was clearly off, they are just jamming and they end up having some very good moments while at it. on the other hand, i believe i was onto something, bass guitar frequencies are way too heavy and unpleasant when holding a melody in the upper register. I'd still like to find 2 bassists jamming in the low side of the register. But all in all, I WAS WRONG.

[@fraidwoodcesco]

minchia!

[@hahabass]

Me thinks that during Chris' soloing Mr Bona need to stay as far away from the 'dusty' end as possible.

[@Harlew]

Listen to what they're playing,not what they're playing is my suggestion to those poor fools out there that can't distinguish between the two!!!!

[@Carehuea]

Oh man, if you're too worried about what instrument is playing what or what each particular instrument is 'supposed' to play, then you're gonna miss what's actually being played... Also, I think they used the wrong mike on the double bass - this one is too sensitive and picks up more noise than zone.

[@EvilSean62]

i like the noise ... as a bass player this noise speaks to me on what and how he is playing ... i consider the " noise " as a bonus

[@n0rbyn0rby]

Chris - you rock (pissefedt faktisk) - men ham Bona er da også meget god ....

[@mimmenbacker]

well...well..well..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
