Jonathan Scales Fourchestra 1

[@sweetegg]

You can tell Mono is not thinking about anything but the musical moment; no specific lick or phrase he wants to use, just being really good at analyzing the energy in the room and connecting to that through his musicality.

[@MrTahutahu]

He makes it look like he just in his kitchen making himself a late night pb and extra jam

[@vooveks]

Oh man - I need to see bands like this. So rare in the UK.

[@kentbyron7608]

Mono Neon! What a great serious student of bass and music. I can hear James Jamerson influences in his playing, Jaco, Anthony Jackson, Larry Graham too, what a unique voice on bass. He sounds like he’s studied everybody. He comes out sounding like himself! Killer drummer in this video too. Excellent!

[@leckomio7647]

jaco and the boys would turn around in the grave!

[@Praxama]

Facts dude

[@fabien1037]

À peu près OK. Anthony Jackson un peu moins... autre style de Contrebassiste de formation qui joue plat. Mononéon est un peu plus complet, slap et le feeling qu'il a est très funk mais je dirai qu'il met la formation Jazz au service du Funk. Pour finir Mono est un tueur. Quant à la team 🙏. Jaco est unique et il a fait des disciples à tout jamais. Paix à son âme. Personnellement Mono est jeune et je préfère quand il est accompagné de Sput. Groover tjrs. Les USA sont une référence pour le Français que je suis. Vos écoles sont les meilleurs et très cher.

[@mynameisryeguy]

I can't thumbs up this enough! Mono is so inspirational.

[@YouBazinga]

Thumbs and toes up!

[@HAWHONU]

The musicianship here is off the charts oh my goodness.

[@nickeyparadise1]

That shit is funky...The future of funk is here...Mono leading the way!

[@honkytonkinson9787]

Everyone's talking about the bass player, and fair enough, but that drummer on the right! He's doing laps around the beat!

[@eltonester6531]

Yeah sputs crazy, check out ghost-note, it's their group together

[@brownskinladyiam]

True

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

SPUT

[@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156]

I love how he integrates carnatic Gamakas to his sound.

[@brokenbuffalo5608]

i saw mono neon w/ ghost note... this is pure unchained brilliance, one of the best players to ever exist. way too much, props brother.

[@davebowden4010]

My ears didnt know where to look!! That was insane!!

[@danielirvine7468]

Well I was expecting heaps of comments!! Amazing would love to see this live Mono is a freakin monster world class right here Just given props when due

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

he's playing the bass like an Oud what the fuck this is sick

[@apexone5502]

First time I've ever heard a bass being played like that and he did it like it was nothing.

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

@@apexone5502 Do you know any tips to play like that? I only know he plucks two strings at once and uses the scale based off of the lower note, but I'm not a bass player i really don't know how to 'shake' the note as well as he does

[@allenlark]

The interview associated with this show he was like, "no, Ive never played anything like this stuff"

[@erb34]

yayy... fun.. drums, steel drums and bass.. Mono Neon burning brightly :-)

[@jonathanwilson6288]

Man Mono, Open a Dojo anywhere and I will be your pupil. This is insane!!!

[@zenith8868]

Hours and hours and hours upon more hours of practice can equate to this

[@dittagecoeco2738]

Than plus a furious mind

[@fabien1037]

Un clin d'œil pour les ingénieurs du son! La balance au top!!! 😉

[@matto9734]

Mono doesnt need us... we need him ;-)

[@uryic000]

Awesome comment!!!

[@jamalaliconnect]

[@jamessmith-zk4co]

Need him to do what? Phenomenal player though!

[@28erny]

flamenco is the highest jazz top level. Greetnings from Spain

[@ReturntoNatureSkills]

Looks like I found a new favorite band. Man mononeon is epic

[@chrisaschman4453]

Nice work guys. I'm looking forward to opening for yall in Philly in November! I'm sure whatever lineup is coming through will be amazing.

[@downtownwillie]

[@Joel_Mach]

Amazing. Wordless

[@lorealchalmers9636]

[@floobuscanoobus]

[@devinbrewer8956]

[@devinbrewer8956]

Mono and sput? You know it's gonna be dope already.

[@bmuhamad]

An exercise and experiment in Caribbean Funk Fusion.

[@ronwhite6180]

Very cool!

[@victorm5810]

mononeon is sickkkkk!

[@N9012-p6n]

Mono neon always looks unimpressed.

[@jowlorenz9555]

Interesting observation.

[@gmcsrbosavl6964]

Every now and then you catch a little smile at someone else’s playing, or some appreciation expressed by eye contact. But yes, he does keep his cards close to his chest in general.

[@anthonywright3443]

Tight!!!! Fish Grease!!!!

[@elmeryujra3812]

Insaneeee!!!

[@cyber_nekore]

[@road2hell46]

[@Squirrelconga]

Corzo, .. so here I am watching Scales/Weedie videos...and I'm like "jazzcat"...why does that sound familiar? You still in MI?

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

Off the hook. Hold the phone!

[@donpodlas5546]

...and that's known as musical genius....got his first bass at 4 and was probably kicking ass by the age of 7....fucking insanely good bassist...

[@jackieclark8253]

I know this to be true first hand!! 😂👍🏾👍🏾

[@slucajniprolaznik2247]

Type kaladzijsko oro,you will be amazed

[@Cosmic_Messenger]

SICK!

YESSSSSSS!!!!

[@Low_Key_Bro]

Holy shit!

[@dontaedames5352]

This sounds like he's using the phrygian mode (or however u spell it)

[@vintagethings9187]

One of the best phrygian bass players ever!

[@carysfaerie]

Wow

[@jacobsl3499]

This may sound like a weird proposition, but if Dream Theater´s bassist (John Myung) ever got hit by a bus, I believe Mono Neon could actually be a good replacement! Haha.

[@ona_dr6555]

🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@motune9873]

Why Sput over there looking Jermaine Dupree on the drums lol

[@jindetwizol1399]

Is the first song was ever recorded in studio ? this is dope but i loved to have a proper record.

[@五十嵐一希-b7w]

@@Jonathan-Scales Thank you！

[@leebass7]

I wonder who he is

[@bmuhamad]

Keyboards or steel pans? Okay, looks like actual pans...

[@georgewilliams7227]

No. His strings aren't reversed.

[@basscase8175]

He's Jaco reincarnated

[@aaronbarber6169]

Sorry, but he has more chops than Jaco

[@aaronbarber6169]

and an extra string

[@sirenwavemtv8334]

But jack invented all the chops so I mean

[@mmmmmmmmdaaaamnnnnbabyyyy]

@@sirenwavemtv8334 no he didn't
