Donny Benét In Studio Episode #1 : Mr Experience bass tips

[@donnybenet]

Hope you enjoyed the Live Experience- it certainly was a pleasure to make a real nice piece of art in the slop fest that was 2020! It’s now available on @youtube for all eternity. No cost- my gift to you 🎁 ​kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmHPk4iQqbKSe6c

[@williamhornabrook8081]

You are a beastly musician. Big Prince energy I love that you share your art and knowledge with everyone for free!

[@mightyV444]

You make playing the bass look sooo effortless, even on a fretless one! 🤯😊👍

[@slash196]

When people say "the key to attractiveness is confidence", this is what they mean.

[@Docandballtorture7756]

and this man has it all.

[@mnt4085]

I feel seen

[@Zilch.0]

And they're not wrong but getting confidence when you don't have it is just marginally easier than getting a new face.

[@rockstopsthetraffic]

Introduced way too late to this guy by an Australian the other day, and this phrase is the first thing I thought of, immediately.

[@AverageHomeBoy]

DB gives me the confidence to be a better, more fabulous me ✨

[@bluerhumba1753]

Find yourself someone who looks at you in the same way that Donny Benèt’s album cover looks at Donny Benèt

[@jamesha175]

the guy is so good that he's got his own back

[@shable1436]

Rare to see such a great musician with a sense of humor and not take self so seriously, sign of a very wise man with sick talent

[@buddikus]

Well said. I only discovered him a week ago and I have this on repeat. Such a vibe

[@krisbooth8441]

Yes

[@krainey]

With a head like that you need a sense of humor 😉👍

[@morgredtheblack]

@@krainey and with a magazine cover appearance you need to be a tool, what's your point?

[@jtn191]

Check out Vulfpeck, Pavement, Benji Hughes, Marc Rebillet, some people seem to really like Ween

[@kirkm5]

Fun fact: 99% of the viewers don't realize how incredibly hard it is to play a fretless bass.

[@mcerruti77]

1% here

[@IonlyplayMILFs]

@@mcerruti77 me too

[@endermantrainer]

same here its incredibly hard

[@GlennJimenez]

It it weren’t for the “mwah” every so often I would have it was a regular bass

[@radsketchpad]

"It starts on F#, one of my favorite notes" - so f*cking hilarious! I love this so much, it's absolutely brilliant.

[@adumbberg]

*F#cking hilarious

[@caiomorais6698]

Everytime Donny looks at the camera, I feel the urgent need to carry his child inside me... and I'm supposedly a man

[@WowJustWow37]

You gotta fight me for him! 😂

[@OmerAliuddin]

After watching the video? Yeah absolutely agreed.

[@svincentr]

More like get the kids away from him.

[@caiomorais6698]

@Sven Felsl I had a dream the other day, where I was at a bar with some friends, drinking and joking arround, when suddenly Donny showed up from nowhere, wearing a purple tuxedo (classy as always) and announced himself as a surprise musical guest for the night. Then he looked right into my eyes, licked his lips and said "Tonight is not about me, it's about us baby" took his bass and started playing 'All Things Must Pass' by George Harrison, probably the most anticlimactic song for the moment we're having. Now all I want is to develop this dream into a Brodway Musical called: - DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF DONNY - - you'll want to come again -

[@evan8654]

@@caiomorais6698 lollllll

[@willespalazzo]

he brings that funk on a goddamn fretless bass, what a legend

[@tziirkq]

Not even Rick Beato can explain what makes this song so great.

[@Thefare1234]

Donny’s moustache

[@TheCompleteJam]

Ahahah

[@kfirdamon5291]

rick beato only do main stream

[@adumbberg]

I've never been so proud to be a bass player in my entire life.

[@M2Mil7er]

I hope in the last two years you've managed to move past watching someone else's admittedly excellent bass video, for an even greater sense of accomplishment. 😅

[@kyledrexel]

Total time elapsed from "Never heard of this guy" to "I hit subscribe" : 2 min, 49 seconds.

[@teampyro911]

i took too long ,i was in awe dood , no lye.

[@sotetsotetsotetsotetsotet2379]

5:53 for me and only because I got lost in the video and forgot.

[@dkijc]

Are you spying me

[@31145_]

Finally someone who doesn't waste his life

[@rudyleplane727]

Real music by a true artist! You are what people need to be hearing!

[@Brollissimo]

I've discovered Donny just one week ago, I've listened to all of his records and he is now my all time favourite bass player.

[@jimmythebold589]

lol. i discovered him a few weeks ago during an acid trip. actually several hours after the peak, but i experienced a second peak as i spent the end of my trip huffing videos by him! hah! his timing and feel on the bass are just exquisite. that pocket!! i love his attitude. as a balding man, his confidence in his sexuality is inspiring to me. must...emulate...

[@emilsvahn5400]

This guy is an absolute monster! And he is really rocking the Vice City Dr Phil look

[@joecritch]

Eye contact is everything. Also enjoying his children’s art.

[@brettjones3095]

Joseph Critchley that’s his

[@yamondakawazuki8941]

i believe those are his 11th finger paintings

[@WowJustWow37]

Donny! You make me feel like a kid again! I become such a fan nerd when I see you. You’re an angel!

[@AaronBowley]

how can someone so dirty be so clean

[@miss_jess]

I wonder if Donny Jnr is already playing bass?

[@PodmornicaFTW]

Legitimate skill and humor. 10/10 🔥

[@ChicagoDeepHouseHead]

Man i used to love donnie just bc he was different and original and funny and you name it. But now i realize i love hom bc hes a badass fukn bass player. He kills it on fretless!

[@Delzak1]

It's everything I've ever wanted and more.

[@mightyV444]

I'm totally blown away by how completely effortless he makes playing those bass lines look - *and* on a _fretless_ , too! 🤯 🤩👍

[@innercityprepper]

as someone who attempts bass from time to time, seeing Donny do a bassline and then go "and that's it!" and I go "I'll never, ever be able to do that!

[@mightyV444]

@@innercityprepper - It must have *a lot* to do with proper technique, especially of the fretting hand; I'm more the 'thumb over fretboard' bassist myself, rather than keeping it against the back of the neck the whole time 😅

[@miss_jess]

I see I am not the only one who has already clicked the thumbs up

[@djay6651]

''Of course, I'm doing it on fretless, so you have no idea what I'm doing at the moment, but that's all part of the mystery." 😆 Classic Donny, keeping it mysterious.

[@colinhendry3]

This is f*%king superb. He has it all, talent, the looks, confidence....😎😆

[@lucuaxo]

Donny you're on fire baby 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟

[@RodneyReviewsThings]

Love the F#

[@giovannifranzetti6214]

mikewrightmusic_ed whell then you must be one from the northern emisphere

[@ridikipicklepeckinpuff583]

I'd love to see more about Donny's formative music years- how many instruments can he play? How long has he been playing? Why is he so dope? So many questions!!

[@LucilleBrawl17]

Fretless bass!!!! My friend, you are awesome!!! Jaco is my favorite musician of all time and you treat the instrument so well. Glad to hear it!!!!

[@djcoolcliff]

Your set up is a dream!!! A Linn Drum too!!! So jealous! I got a old school Roland JXP? You got a Leon Sylvers feel on that bass!! RIP to my uncle Wah Wah Watson!

[@chop661]

I can't stop listening to this verse riff. Such majestic groove.

[@CaptainMcPunch]

You make me want to be a better man.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

1:10 Donny you can't be doing octave double stop fretless slides, people can't handle that kinda bass mojo!

[@BestKiteboardingOfficial]

It's like he put this video on KZbin just to make my day amazing.

[@cburgess2805]

lots of love from NZ!

[@MiloshVictory]

How satisfying it is to watch that man play bass

[@Black_Agent_Seattle]

This is fantastic!! A fretless bass through chorus is true blue 80s.

[@CADJewellerySkills]

Dude. You're my new hero! It takes a lot of swagger (and evidently keyboards) to pull off this 90's discount DVD instructional video vibe with such aplomb. Well played, in every sense of the word!

[@BestKiteboardingOfficial]

It's like funky King's of convenience, I'm sold.

[@CJTKRTHOME]

I shared Donny with my most musically picky friend, and she loved every song. You are a true GEM TO THIS WORLD!

[@Kris.G]

This world needs more people like Donny.

[@funkyduck4743]

Hello Donny, I just wanted to take the time to tell you how much I love your music, especially the albums The Don and Mr.Experience. I'm not in such a good mood lately but your music (and basslines) have almost reignited my desire to play my instrument (haven't touched my bass in months). It's by far my greatest musical discovery of 2021, hope you keep shining like you are! You are beautiful and I love you!

[@ajw9533]

As an exile from the 80s, I can confirm the genius of Donny Benét.

[@alfredodesmond3650]

This video has got me into Donny and the groove that he poses is truly unstoppable, thank you Don

[@EjTnT]

Donny Benét is a bass guru and a goddamn national treasure

[@ZJtraylor]

It grooves so hard. The bass tone is just so good.

[@jzbass72]

Plays unlined fretless, loves Bernard Edwards…I’m a goddamned atheist but even I know that Donny’s going to heaven.

[@AJP9585]

I am 100% here for this.

[@BrentsTreehouse]

a masterclass!

[@lolroflstomp]

That bass is perfection..

[@haalogen1917]

Mr. Benet makes me smile everytime :)

[@grantsutton8727]

Don's time travelled from the 80's. Smooth board bass played by Mr smooth himself .... his guitar may be fretless but some of his fans are fretting like crazy for more of his cool music beats.

[@StuartZechman]

Priceless lesson and demonstration, thank you so very much.

[@philzyqotsa]

DONNIE is the KING!

[@geoffwaters4963]

I love you man, and I love your music. thank you.

A white mansion by the ocean, a beautiful bride in my hands, and Donny playing at my wedding. What a life that would be!

[@RabRabNZ]

Just found this guy today and my life is changed

[@emptyboxesandrooms]

Good to see Ron Jeremy has changed to a more respectable career.

[@M2Mil7er]

if by 'more respectable' you mean 'more pornographic', then yes, I completely agree.

[@ericsnell3040]

Just discovered this channel. Between the music, your persona, the video production, ... so many emotions. I feel young again. Well done Donny!

Being lost in his ability to play, then realizing the camera is recording him “Oh hi”! Classic.

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

Holy moly! Before watching this video, I thought I needed a Jazz Bass fretless! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@eddiekamenjasevic9759]

Thankyou so much Don for being such an inspirational being,,not just only on the Bass... I luv you sooo muchly, keep the goodness coming!!!💖
