[@csmac3144a]

Over 50 years of listening to music. This remains one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

[@zanderzon]

Thank you, Steve.

[@hasibuzzamanmahmud9728]

Amazing! my fav cover of concerning hobbits!

[@adammee5437]

"You shall not bass!"

[@edvfya9922]

Lol more like "Yoou Canawwwt Baaass!", in disgust 😡

[@ttvdizturb3d]

@@edvfya9922 i think you missed the mark here, LMAO you shall not bass was just fine

[@Rompster123]

How on earth do you capture the beauty and the grandeur of an entire orchestra on one instrument?

[@zanderzon]

+rompster Thanks for the kind words!

[@zanderzon]

Top comments made from my 'Lord of the Rings' bass video: "One instrument to rule them all!" "Lord of the strings!" "You look like a Hobbit!" Is bass really the greatest instrument ever? Do I actually look like a Hobbit? YOU DECIDE! ;-) 'Lord of the Rings' Medley - Solo Bass - Zander Zon

[@zanderzon]

Maybe Michael Manring could be Elrond? Both are wise and all powerful...

[@zanderzon]

Thanks a lot for the kind words, Zoie!

[@ronbarzilai5705]

***** I strongly disagree with you. The bass is one of the most versatile instruments in existence. It can be used to play chords, bass, melody, you name it. Listen to guys like Victor Wooten, Michael Manring or Adam Ben Ezra, these guys really push the instrument's capabilities to the absolute limit (And beyond).

[@MrAssain]

You're The Bard, Sir.

[@ammarmulic5327]

The strings Zander uses make the bass go 1 octave higher in the top 3 strings i think, so it has a very big range. Due to the length of the neck and thickness of the strings tapping is made very much easier (at least for me), the tone gets fuller and bigger, and 4 strings are enough of a span to have at least 2 octaves in one position, so you can get any chord from it. Any instrument is versatile in the right hands.

[@zanderzon]

Thanks for such kind words, everyone! So glad you are enjoying this one!

[@pauldemond4311]

killer! My oldest son uses a lot of harmonics when he plays bass. Your style is so unique!

[@zanderzon]

Thanks a lot! Harmonics are definitely the way to go! :)

[@hurmertdeveci8456]

Zander Zon you are a great musician mate, i really enjoyed listening this...

[@zanderzon]

Thanks a lot man! :)

[@aaronkiessling3791]

Dude whats that device you use, the one with the blue light?

[@brex5339]

Damn you, now I need to rewatch my extended version again. a 5 minute video inspires me to rewatch 12 hours of movies. Great job, I love the tone.

[@yisafps]

The power of music

[@samk7777]

Might be four years to late, but this is the best thing I've seen or will see in my life.

[@lfkw2484]

still the best thing on the internet

[@SosaTheMuk]

[@JadenBullard]

Zander Zon Absolutely phenomenal. Sounds great, amazing work! Keep bassing along!

[@zanderzon]

Thanks a lot, Jaden! Glad you liked it! More ebow stuff coming soon...

[@JadenBullard]

Zander Zon Pumped to hear it!

[@zanderzon]

Thanks man!

[@kirb.e1262]

Hey man, i just learned how to play a simplified version of this on guitar. Thanks for the lesson! Keep up the good work.

[@carmykapritchard]

No one plays like you. You are great and original!

[@snubbyj]

Brilliant arrangement as always. Congrats on yet another incredible video

[@LorelaiMusic]

OH MY VALAR THIS WAS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN * *_____* * instant subscribe, can't wait for more bass amazingness! I am literally speechless!

[@FractalArtStudios]

You are ridiculously amazingly good... and this brings tears to my eyes... sincerely a beautiful thing... keep it up :)

[@ValerieH2040]

Zander, this is just outstanding! I've been a huge fan since you put up "I,Resolute". "Breaking of the Fellowship" is definitely my favorite piece from LOTR, so it just brightened up my morning to hear this. Excellent work as always...flawless!

[@zanderzon]

Hi Valerie, thank you so much for supporting me all these years and I'm so happy you enjoyed this one! Very much appreciated! :)

[@mattwildchild]

Absolutely amazing - played it over 10 times already, I am definitely going on a LOTR movie marathon this week end !

[@nelladerf]

Well, i did consider myself a bass player................until i watched your vids. You are such a talented musician. Beautifully done. Thank you for showing people the softer, beautiful side of the bass guitar.

[@chriswenkle2635]

OUTSTANDING!! Mere words don't do you justice. As a bass player I am floored by the creativity and insight. Many thanks!

[@zanderzon]

Thanks a lot!

[@PanigaleV2]

Man, like... I'm speechless... You're stunning! I'm a Bass Player for myself, and man, i have to say that you keep me motivated, to be as amazing as you are some day...

[@zanderzon]

Thanks a lot, Lennart! That makes me really happy!

[@ricardogriffin3616]

you always aim and shoot my heart with your music.

[@tubbysj1]

I finally found it! I've had this as a ring tone for so long!!! Im so glad to have found the amazing artist!!!

[@edvfya9922]

Haha must have been a great feeling

[@speedfist]

Zander... this is superb work, as good as it gets in a lost of ways, I listen to a ton of jazz fusion players, and have a rock/reggae/hip hop/funk background, but this is probably the most moving type of playing I've heard. Yup. You did it!

[@Whovian1029]

What a fantastic medley! Definitely the best film score ever written.

[@sprgzr]

This music will always keep my brother alive on my heart. R.I.P. Lucas - 05/15/2016 ='[

[@ttvdizturb3d]

loved it as well, one of my(if not my ) favorite movie series of all time

[@blainethemono19]

As a former bass player turned lead guitarist, this is the most creative bass composition I've ever seen. Beautiful, original, and perfectly played. Never seen anything like you, but please keep it up. Truly gifted sir!

[@DemBlizzard]

Dude, you really nailed the whole Lord of the Rings vibe. You're a true artist :)

[@zanderzon]

+DemBlizzard Thanks!

[@DemBlizzard]

+Zander Zon Let the truth be told. Thanks for making all that wonderfull stuff! Waking up to it every morning.

[@MattiaPiola]

Zander, I cry everytime I listen to this.

[@RippedSwampert]

Can't even put into words how much of an inspiration you are to me. This song is the best thing I've ever heard, I can't believe how much talent you have. Thanks for doing these, every one of your compositions and arrangements are amazing.

[@zanderzon]

Thanks for your kind words! I appreciate your support!

[@DannArisi]

This version makes me cry and smile everytime!

[@zanderzon]

Thanks a lot - glad it touched you

[@adamstevensbass]

Zander.. you hit home with this one brother, as always! :)

[@zanderzon]

Hey man, thanks a lot!

[@Jedimax01]

You truly are an exceptional musician. That is a beautiful piece of music. Thank you

NEW VIDEO! 'Lord of the Rings' medley with a Spider Capo, an Ebow and an exciting announcement at the end! 'Lord of the Rings' Medley - Solo Bass - Zander Zon

[@zanderzon]

***** Thanks man! I'm a huge fan of the harp! I haven't actually considered that genre yet - do you have any recommendations for me to check out?

[@KptnHaddock_]

Zander Zon You could have a go on "Saint Patrick An Dro" :) /watch?v=76WwmDoQBnY

[@zanderzon]

Will check it out! :)

[@II_Holocene_II]

How does that Capo work? I've never heard of a Spider Capo before.

[@zanderzon]

It 'capos' select strings, rather than having to capo all the strings. During the video, you can see me changing which strings it capos.

[@parkjammer]

This remains my favorite of your online performances. Back for the umpteenth time!

[@_tnk_]

A masterpiece

[@zanderzon]

Thanks so much!

[@pauleagle97]

Goddamit, never expected that bass solo can be played like this, bravo

[@ell3y]

I'm quite sure that this is my favourite on all of KZbin (been following you since you started, and seen/heard this video over 10 times by now btw)!

[@zanderzon]

Thank you!

[@ell3y]

I keep coming back to this. Weird that it's already been 5 years since the upload!

[@mattwildchild]

So glad I found this - I keep on playing replay at work.

[@juliomoraification]

This is excellent. Not the last time I'll be listening to this, by far.

Wonderful sound!! I'm especially impressed by the bell-harmonics and how they are integrated with the sound of all the other notes! Do you also give live concerts? I would love to hear you play in Amsterdam some time!

[@stratoguz]

That was great!!!. Greetings and all my support from Mexico

[@ringsprince1]

[@zanderzon]

Thanks so much and I'm glad you like the harmonics - my favourite sound on the instrument :)

[@ringsprince1]

Zander Zon What is the thing that you used at 2:55 ?

[@zanderzon]

Danaël It's called an Ebow and it sustains the vibration of the strings. It's fun to use!

[@ringsprince1]

Zander Zon Thanks !

[@carolinegaro494]

I didn't notice it was headless. Omg that's awesome
