Keith Horne part 2 - Bassball

[@tazthumper]

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, I just do what I do! 😊

[@phillippasteur3904]

I've played bass since the age of 7 but I'm just a meat and potatoes player with a little bit of flair. You are unbelievable! You make Wooten sound laid back!

[@trintygamesandrobloxandmor128]

Keith Horne doing what you do... Yeah, but you are doing it better than 99% out there. You will never admit it but as other bass players that I know have said, you are “Elite.”

[@princepsilocybe1429]

how do you slap and pop i am using the same method of you due to being a broke high school student and being a lefty

[@JWOOVA]

My boy from Hopewell,VA. Untouchable!

[@tazthumper]

This is Keith, actually I'm a totally right handed person, only play bass, guitar and steel guitar left handed! If you happen to read any articles about me, I used to play guitar strung for a left handed player at age 6, but after learning to play bass upside down on a friend's bass at age 12, I switched to guitar upside down too! All my basses are custom made left handed bodies but strung upside down, yes as the same way as one of my favorite players in the world, Jimmy Haslip! Peace!

[@tazthumper]

Thank you all for your kind comments! I know a lot of people ask why I play upside down and is there advantages? Well no I can't say there's any real advantages, thumbing and plucking it's kind of a double motion that your right handers do, met a lot of upside down players lately and so many techniques, makes it all interesting and everyone has their own thing! I did learn to play on a right handed bass, drummer at the time our bassist left his bass at my house as a kid, so learned it that way!

[@tradefortrump1357]

Keith, you played that very riff on my Rickenbacker bass upside down and backwards back in the 90's when you were on the road with Trisha Yearwood. We were just a little ho-dunk band in a bar in Camas Washington she was suppose to show up after the show in Portland.. She didn't but you made up for it! I'll never forget your talent! Ive tried all my life to play as effortless as you and will never meet your gift on the bass! UP SIDE DOWN AND backwards!

[@GRiZZZLe8]

WOW i watched this 3 times now...and still amazed by his talent!!!

[@phillippasteur3904]

Keith is the absolute best bassist on the planet!

[@chiphargis3703]

C’mon man

[@paulthebassguy]

Totally awesome!! The "upside down" slapping was cool.

[@Thebald1]

Keith grew up in my hometown of Hopewell Virginia, and I can remember him at my house one day taking our guitar and turning it upside down and jamming the hell out of it.. Lol..

[@MaeRod]

very nice!!! that are a great video!!!

[@thomasdeaton1626]

Saw him play this live in VA numerous times...Secrets

[@spiritualsax777]

Me too, when he left town i started playing with james Bradley and secrets...the were great, Dane Bryan(t)? keys Butch Taylor keys, both played Yamaha DX7's so when they first came out! Keith Horn on on Bass Steve Wilson on alto and soprano sax and flute James Bradley on Percussion...i front remember the drummer???

[@DRUMTOY2002]

HA HA HA HA HA.........I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!!!! I just knew this cat had to be some type of BAD-ASS because he was the one who ALWAYS stood out for me in the "Hillibillies" video!!! I am so glad that I dove deeper to find him. Great post, I'm diggin it!!!

[@tazthumper]

Hey Tony, thanks for the kind words!! Yeah most left handed guys usually learn to play right handed, I'm a totally right handed person except for playing bass, guitar and steel guitar! Yes love Doug Seven's playing, he's scary!! :) Yes I live in Va close to Richmond and my rock trio plays 4-5 nights a week, called Sportsbar Rockstar!!! Hope to see ya sometime at a show! Peace

[@lordsong7]

Super nice man! Great groove and tasteful playing. Warrior Rulz.

[@lauraw1020]

What a delightful description.

[@lauraw1020]

Woah !! Your fingers are like a storm on those strings !

[@kingofthestoneage5]

Keith is an amazing musician and an extremely friendly and humble guy.

[@tazthumper]

@6y298 Thank you for your nice comments, I just do what I do and play what I feel. I appreciate you enjoying it, means a lot!!!! :)

[@GfnWiz]

Amazing…I saw Keith horn play in the 90s once at some place on northern VA. I think it was a band called Secrets but damn if I can find anything about it. Truly awesome.

[@nmbsc04u]

It was secrets. Carter Beauford was their drummer and went on to play with Dave Matthews. Early on they had a sax player that went on to Spirogyra. They were all very talented.

[@GfnWiz]

@@nmbsc04u seeing Keith Horn play was one of the reasons I picked up bass. Amazing band.

[@ttoussaint]

Wish I could put an hand one one of these marvellous Warrior basses. :) Nice playing! Tony

[@rebeccaperry8295]

Keith, you're the best!

[@tonyeads9142]

Totally awesome Keith, great ideas seamlessly played. I am a left handed guy that actually learned how to play on a right handed guitar. I saw a comment that you posted on a Video with Doug Seven smokin the steel. In that comment you said you are now in Va. If that is the case I would love to come hear you play and maybe learn more than a few things! Killer version of humming bird you posted by the way! totally messed with my head and my senses to follow you visually on the upside down Tele!

[@khund03]

Holy....... Where has this guy been hiding? I've only been playing bass a couple of years, but DAMN!!!

[@tazthumper]

@Nashrakh Thank you so much, I appreciate it and thanks for being a fan!

[@smokieteddie]

@tazthumper - I have a copy but worn it out . If you know how to get another let know. Also I had a copy of thier first release with BassBall on it . This was the VERY best band that never got out of that Richmond music mix. Richmond the unknown music capital of the world.

[@joffyjazz]

First time I've heard Keith breaking loose. Sounds great and the Warrior bass does too.

[@tazthumper]

@jlebesis Thanks from Australia, my favorite country I've ever performed in, Beautiful!! Performed in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and tons of other cities there!!!!! Thanks for the kind words!!!! Peace!!!!!

[@dmitrybaturov8609]

why on wikipedia we have not this name?

[@trintygamesandrobloxandmor128]

Dmitry Baturov even if it did he would refuse it. I am a distant cousin of Keith’s (we both know it) and he will tell you he is average at best. He would never admit that he is one of the best ever on Bass, and not too shabby on the Steel or any other guitar for that matter.

[@Dyshof]

Unbeblievable.....

[@stephencoxbass]

So good, man!

[@clayjones8353]

Truly amazing bro! Lc Mabry said tell you hello.

[@ThadewGrum]

Amazing talent

[@jfrtribusbasse]

tout simplement grandiose! quel maitrise quel talent.....

[@groovetube24]

at 2:28 is not from a Victor Wooten tune.

[@KarenPerryMusic]

Keith wasn't this the year I went with you ? Didn't they introduce the Warrior Keith Horne Signature Bass that day?? That's big mouth in the back ground LOL!! Mom says hello. Let's catch up soon!!

[@darrellwilliams6741]

Keith you're Superman on that 6 string warrior bass. Wow Shazamm

[@azfryguy]

is there a name for that slide he does at 0:39 to 0:40 looks like he is sliding from 12 to 15 but im not positive

[@stephenmoton1506]

ah, "SECRETS", Richmond, Va!

[@1BassJohn]

@tazthumper Hey Keith! Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my comment. So glad you've experienced Australia. I've been trying to find a way to get in contact with you. I play professionally here also in the freelance/session circles around the country. Would love to get in touch, though cant find a way to message you on your channel. Is there anywhere I can email you or send you a contact email? Many thanks mate! John

[@Ra1nemaker]

Could someone tell me if there is any advantage to stringing a left hand bass upside down?

[@trintygamesandrobloxandmor128]

Ra1nemaker no advantage just how he learned to play.

[@hereidie]

Why does he play the strings upside down? Hislop plays like this too.

[@keithpasculli7465]

This is ridiculous cool!!

[@saporman98]

This is the guy I want to be when I grow up...

[@SHAKEYCAMSTEVE100]

fabulous

[@weldon29]

Awesome.

[@tazthumper]

@69Stads I have a few copies of the 1st Secrets cd with Carter on it, write me on youtube and could see how to get it to you. I wished I could have played with TR3, they were amazing and yeah Tim Reynolds was also in Secrets for a little while. Thanks for being a fan! Peace! Keith

[@groovetube24]

no at @2:28 is not a Victor Wooten thing

[@soulkamikaze666]

Awesome!!

[@playtime321]

WOW That's sweet!!!!!

[@aushundansteve]

@Ra1nemaker May not be an advantage to stringing a left hand bass upside down, but that's how Keith learned to play. My cousin, Rod Riley (check him out on myspace and here on youtube), and Keith Horne grew up together in Chester,Va. From what I've been told, Keith just grabbed a right handed guitar, flipped it over and started learning. Very unique way of playing, can't imagine playing that way.

[@ruffian1868]

How far ahead of the beat is he at 4.45 :)

[@TheGodfatherOfGospel]

Yeah Man!!

[@bigtoine45]

too funky in here!!! Good Laaawd

[@jomarthegreat1]

My brain crapped itself at 5:09

[@chrisbrock9027]

Wow I SAW him play this in Richmond VA. WAY BACK WHEN.... when he was in SECRETS...... SWEET!!! and at HarBorFEST...

[@simplecarnivore]

I saw him too in Richmond.. Stonewall Cafe .. Amazing!

[@noldinsky6985]

WOW!

[@adisharr]

Wow just a great player :)

[@TheChancegomez]

@tazthumper dude im a left handed bass player your amazing man!!!!!!!!! your really good. i wish i had your skill! yeah i am a lefty and i play bass left handed. bass is the only thing i can play lol

[@uyuyuy99]

5:41 - 5:45 listen to that snazzy riff

[@catboyzee]

Sick...

[@rick_borghese]

Grande, possibile che ha solo 2 mani? ;-)

[@groovetube24]

Yes Keith, Victor, John Billings, And James Genus were what they would refer to themselves as MOB (men of bass) Keith wouldn't pull that and Ive heard him do that groove early on when I first moved to Nashville. Yes Keith is a great guy he was nice enough to let me check out his signature bass when he first got it.

[@jfrtribusbasse]

magnifique

[@rick_borghese]

grande , possibile che abbia solo 2 mani? ;-)

[@bigbore660]

His bass is strung upside down. Thats only the second bassist I've seen play like that. They were both lefty's too.

[@Sickofsociety1]

Maybe a different Keith Horne that plays bass but I saw him play in a tiny place in Nashville in the early 90's. He has lost a lot of weight. Could have sworn he played right handed. Oh well, awesome playing either way.

[@danval069]

nice job

[@omgwtfbbqalekx]

This man has proven everyone wrong: Gingers DO have soul.

[@SpectorBassistSD]

Blows my mind how Keith Horne and Jimmy Haslip play left handed with a right handed bass.

[@phillippasteur3904]

It blows my mind how Keith plays period!

[@ebplayers]

Nice....

[@pharoahscurse]

that was fast.. excellent finger control

[@RickMCMusic]

Wow

[@keithpasculli7465]

I think I heard a little nod to Stanley Clarke in the beginning of your solo.

[@c24253994]

GRANDMASTER AT PLAYING BASS

[@ItalicAlec]

holy mother of god!

[@tyndallwb]

I want him to teach me bass!

[@mirkolu]

ohhhh SHIT :o

[@ProfWlopes]

Tom Hanks on bass!

[@SuperGuitarman69]

@OnslowHughes That includes ZZ top. Who I actually know personally and Billy would tell you the same thing.. I am sure he knows Keith or at least knows who he is.. He would tell you that Keith is a better guitar player than he is... Be careful of criticisms dude.. They show incompetence

[@Schmoe64]

He needs a Gutierrez Custom Bass.

[@lalo1976us]

Que barbaro!!! Me da verguenza!! yo tengo 10 años tocando el bass y no le llego a este compa ni a las uñas de los pies, mis respetos! un musico de a deveras! (no soy nada!).

[@MrSphiggy]

Wrong, Kenny Powers on Bass

[@Thebald1]

Not true at all....

[@TeddyBasse]

@MrBalli90 : )

[@Bigertom]

very odd tuning but he is very talent and creative

[@SuperGuitarman69]

@OnslowHughes From my experience, I have found that those who criticize great musicians and use the ol' BS cliches like "they have no groove", or they do not have soul like (plug in your own player), are wanna be musicians.. I see this time and time again.. I give younger players advice all the time and tell them do you want to be a star or a working musician. There is a HUGE difference. Stars are NOT virtuoso players.They're couped up in the studio for months to do something we can do in a day

[@Stick0413]

There is no real advantage to stringing a left handed bass upside down. Most likely it is just how Keith learned to play.

[@schubert002]

And I thought I'd heard every melodic and fast stuff on bass... Big mistake. Awesome.

[@pathiosocpuppets]

This is truly superb, but the stringing on the bass is really messing with my mind.

[@JovenllenoDeFuego]

look like shamus the wwe wrestler!

[@biingz1523]

You's a bad.... man.

[@MrSphiggy]

probably a lefty trying to transcribe and is really confused lol

[@donvape336]

Wow
