Everyone should follow this excellent example!

Not to state the obvious, but if everyone did the world would probably be a better place ;-)

[@fallentrash1673]

I swear to God, slow bass solos are amazing in general.

[@exanfabry9544]

This is the best bass solo I have heard.

[@DamianCoccio]

[@Dman_op2018]

This is awesome, comparable to Davie504's Fret less bass

Dark, peaceful, and full of life and emotion. Love the low end Ba-dun-dun to bring it all together. Beautiful work my friend.

This is one of the best things I ever heard... Thanks

[@DamianCoccio]

Robert Lans thank you!

[@AriKona]

Don't think I've heard this song before. It's beautiful. I know some people will argue this, but fretless can't be beat. And when you add your outstanding talent, it makes it just that much more wonderful to listen to.

[@DamianCoccio]

AriKona thank you! It’s a new song. I love fretless too! Much more expressive.

[@AriKona]

@@DamianCoccio My error. I though you said it was a favorite song when you were referring to the bass. 🤦‍♂️ Definitely agree on the expressiveness. I learned on an upright many years ago and currently have a Fender AmPro Fretless. Haven't transitioned to anything more than 4 strings yet - they give me enough to keep my fingers busy ;-).

[@DamianCoccio]

AriKona and sometimes less strings is more! I still love playing my 4 string.

[@abdulnafi5286]

The art of 'holding back' Beautifully delivered

[@DamianCoccio]

Thank you

[@burtmann3921]

yes I agree with you.there doesn't need blistering fast chops on such a sweet composition and I think thats how he wanted it ;)

[@michaelb.42112]

This sounds so soothing and badass at the same time.

[@dancoventry4174]

Beautiful playing. Really gorgeous. Lovely use of space between perfectly chosen notes. Consider me inspired!

Glad I stumbled upon you I need more fretless bass inspo and this is exactly what i’d like to sound like one day

[@gowand2x2]

I really don't understand why so many people say that fretless guitars and bass guitars are crap. I guess they're just not good enough to play them🤷🏻‍♂️

[@cheesegood733]

You're right, most of them don't know how to use them. They're specially good when you're playing songs with lots of sliding as it provides a cleaner and smoother sound

[@gowand2x2]

@@JubbLaRacing I have heard many people say that.

[@clickrick]

@@JubbLaRacing Oh I have. And in every case it's because they're trying to play it wrong, or they just don't "get" it. Full disclosure: I've tried and I'm crap at it, but it's definitely my failing, not that of the instrument. Hearing music like this is what motivates me to try harder.

[@balloonman8796]

I think people say that because it takes a lot of skill to play them which is skill they may not have. I'll admit I've never played a fretless before (accept once in a music shop with an upright, which I think counts) but I'm hoping to get one soon. They're so beautiful, plus the harmonic slide has an allure. I wouldn't say they're better but they're different in many ways.

[@klx400sr69]

they probably can’t play fretted instruments either.

[@oggoose4205]

been a lover of all guitars ever since I heard one played but you have with this one track made me fall in love with the bass guitar

[@paulsimmons5726]

This is a gorgeous musical expression! Thanks for posting!

[@ROckerYstY]

This is just amazing. I have first discovered Damian a few years ago, since then he has inspired me to be a better bass player. He is the reason now i have an ebow haha. Also, his compositions help me clear my emotions whenever I am in a dark place.

[@DamianCoccio]

[@burtmann3921]

terrific tune and that melody really hits home. Love the harmonic play that gives the chord progression. I was messing around on my fretless and found that the melody sounds nice down an octave too. Something to mess with for a 2nd take of this cool composition. Well done Damian
