Me, myself and the upright bass | Adam Ben Ezra | TEDxVicenza

[@daveroberts2378]

Thanks, Adam, for all you're doing to make the bass a solo instrument, inspiring new bassists like myself with the possibilities.

[@henrikschunk5732]

Kinda disappointed he basically didn't touch the classical side of the instrument at all. Believe it or not, there actually is a somewhat vast repertoire for the double bass!

[@Z0z0tv09]

He should have performed this thing near a music loving audience. It's a pity that this audience is not admiring his work. He deserves more applause!!

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

I don't know as he's there to generate applause so much as to teach... and encourage the audience not to limit their imaginations.

[@rati0cination]

Absolutely fantastic! What an incredible display of true discovery! Love you and Victor both.

This man is a magician!

[@levy23roy]

This man is a legend

[@shadowwitch1297]

This was amazing and very inspiring as a double bass player who wants to maximize her playing experience. Thank you.

[@choochoo5268]

I didn't know these things could be done on an upright bass! Thanks for sharing.

[@KaraCamilleDelonas]

I'm such a fan of Adam Ben Ezra! Every time I watch him play I am reminded to go practice.

[@DeadKoby]

Gotta love someone who thinks outside the box.... asking what can this do, rather than what is this meant to do.

[@xebec123]

Whew, what can I say, Adam -- you're a star in the making. Spectacular!

[@kenschaefer9293]

This puts the violists to shame even more so than before.

[@alonsomiranda2598]

what do you mean

[@wocken4me681]

Yeah, but I’m not saying this doesn’t take skill because i know it does. However he’s not actually using the pure form of the bass he is using tone modifications. If he could do that with the pure bass then i would be amazed

[@jgvtc559]

@@wocken4me681 like semitones? What do you mean

[@wocken4me681]

Jason G No, Like pedals, and stuff like that. You couldn’t make those sounds with a acoustic bass. He has an electric acoustic bass. So he can modify the sounds. Like look at all the pedals and pads by his feet. I just dont want people getting a bass because they think they can make all the sounds so easily, but In reality unless they have the money and time they cant.

[@wocken4me681]

I did that with an instrument one time. Now I wish i had done differently

I'd love to play with Ben! I'd also love it if he were to get together with Jacob Collier, or Snarky Puppy, or maybe Jonathan Kreisberg or Cory Henry, Josh Nelson or Taylor Eigsti, or Mike Moreno.

What bass tuning does he have?

[@benjaminlavoie-doyon4002]

Standard, but 5 Sting with high C, so E-A-D-G-C.

[@TheResatsen]

👏

[@estarling8766]

Once I had the chance to take part to a wedding party in Egypt. I was surprised to see how modern their ''pop'' music was. There was also a DJ behind the desk a sort Armin van Buuren of Hurghada. Sooner or later the Oriental tones and rhythms will get mixed with the western beat.

[@MrFg1980]

Them loopers, I tell 'ya...

[@RobVespa]

Wow. Nice performance. Shame the crowd doesn't seem to wholly appreciate the speaker.

[@eleanor3497]

My bass is named violet

[@OscarRios]

Eas that a modified clarinet? Can someone confirm please?

[@cadenbarnfather1434]

Wrong it's a tuba obviously

[@little.kid265]

5 strings?

Damn that's some nice 5 string bass

Do you ever play with anybody? And, well, play bass?

[@puulanetohtlane6149]

Not bad....😂😂😂

[@alexanderweikert]

this is amazing, but it has 5 strings which I'm not so sure i like

[@CaptainPedant]

It's not that unusual. Either a high C string for the solos, or a low B at the bottom end so it can get a full octave below the 'cello.

[@mattnati]

this is not bass music

[@rob0nemusic369]

Why ?

[@mattnati]

@@rob0nemusic369 because the bass Is part of a band...
