crazy, there's a hedges tune which has similar sounds with tuning modulations. Hmmm someone inform me, I'm sure there are tracks they've done together

[@Savantrick]

There's an artist profile documentary on YT about Hedges and I know he mentioned playing with Manring. I think it shows a little clip of them playing together too. I'm also pretty sure Andy Mckee has done a track or two with him as well. One is called "A Sphere" and I can't think of the title of the other right now.

[@AbhishekMishra-nw7ru]

Absolutely. A number of Hedges songs have Manring in them.

[@TOCS94]

+jam clow You're most likely thinking off Hedges' TransTrem tunes. There're a few of those on some of his later records. It's basically a guitar that allows you to retune the strings immediately while playing, so the textures are similar to that which is heard here.

[@knox20b]

according session

[@CptChaos88]

Ladies and gentilmen, allow me to present: Hagrid on guitar!

[@Raddland]

One of the prettiest sounding performances I've ever heard. Bass harmonics are already very ethereal sounding. But Manring's use of the Hyperbass to emphasize and change the notes is like a pure shot right to the emotions of the listener. This is such a pretty, but tragic sounding track. Manring is a wizard on the bass.

[@ContradanzaEU]

The wizard is sitting behind Manring, Manring himself is a god

best comment ever.

[@Beemerboy324]

Such is the lot of true genius.

[@plaguedoct0r]

There are so many. But maybe they were appreciated by the right people. Music should never be popular, it should be personal. Life has taught me that popular music is the wrong music. Too many people don't care about the art for popularity to be a measure of success in music.

[@dudeman5303]

Dude Idk how I hadn't heard this guy until the Davie video. I am a huge jaco pastorius fan and michael is apparently a big deal in terms of bass playing post-jaco. Idk this is like jaco's "Portrait of tracey" but more tonally diverse and possibly more technically dificult

[@blahblahsen1142]

bass is easy...sure it is. and when you master just playing it, you can remove all the frets, memorize precise harmonics and play in 3 different tunings at the same time. ya know...to make it a little tougher. ladies and gentleman i used to make basses, and if i might say i'm a hell of a bass player. and i'm watching this like...how...the fuck...does he get any of this right? zero marks, no frets, frigging detuning all 4 strings mid-play. this man is not a bassist, he's a damn wizard and there is clearly some Elvin magic happening.

[@MrGritstoner]

he uses the "techy" techniques to create something beautifull,not to show off.the result is an incredible and touching piece of music

[@plaguedoct0r]

I can barely contain myself for how amazingly beautiful this is. It both feels good and hurts. It's...just amazing.

[@Rael0505]

Check out his song “The Enormous Room” if you aren’t familiar with it. It’s amazing

[@builditwithlegos]

That silence at the end before the crowd began to cheer is the sound of respect.

[@bleedthebeat]

a chilling “sound”

[@Flemmingdoerken]

@thisiswebbmaster There is actually an answer to that :) These are the tunings for the song: Bb F Bb F Ab Eb Bb F Gb Eb Bb Gb Ab F Bb F Gb Eb Bb F Ab Eb Ab Eb Gb Eb Ab Eb

[@cedricproper5256]

Just look at the marks on his fingerboard. The precision of Mr. Manrings' (sir) fingerings can be measured in nanometers despite changing tunings constantly through his pieces. Jaco would be moved to tears to see his prodigy come so far. Revolutionary bassist, no doubt whatsoever.

[@Rael0505]

Wait was Manring Jaco’s student or something?

[@michaelgerring2227]

I've seen this video many times since it's come out. And I'm still blown away at how well he knows his instrument and the type of planning it takes to create any song that deals with harmonics and tuning, then on top of all that it sounds amazing. BLows my mind everytime.

[@bhaskarville]

AND it's fretless. It's hard to do this on a fretted bass, mans totally manipulating the fretless like it's nobody's business lol

[@taknothing4896]

@@bhaskarville It's what's called a hyperbass - tunings can be precisely changed on the fly. It's not merely "hard" to do on anything else, it's impossible.

BASS IS EASIER THAN GUITAR!!!! Incorrect.

[@TheV4D3R]

[@DropsOfDestruction]

Beats, Bass, Battlestar Galactica

[@theonlybass8947]

The perception of most casual music enthusiasts/musicians is skewed toward the belief that bass is easy because their context is modern rock/pop music, where the bass serves a very important but basic barebones role. Nobody who wants to pick up bass so they can play Green Day covers in their buddy's garage is going to have heard of or even necessarily want to listen to Michael Manring. Turning the bass into a solo instrument the way he does is like making a full course dinner for 8 people with nothing but a spoon.

[@czipendejs]

the beauty of 2:03 is way beyond my imagination...

[@zumazmusic]

I got so into this that I almost started clapping at the end, as if I was there. 🥴😎

Now that i've heard this I can finally die in peace.

Nice melee avatar, Falco is sick

[@myckëta]

I first saw this video when I was 12-13 years old. Then I realized that the world of music has only a few diamonds per billion stones, which you just need to look for. Since then, I began to be interested in that same indie world of music that no one cares about and discovered many genres, and began to write music myself. Returning to listening to a melody that you haven't heard for a decade - you return to the days of naive and carefree childhood. Magic. He is certainly a magician

[@togue777]

I could listen to a 10 or 15 minute version of this song any day of the week as it is like a mantra that leaves you craving more.

You should actually check out more videos from Michael Manring. It's a shame Davie reacted to a video without Slap, but Michael Manring can definitely slap 10x better than Davie504... At LEAST. Manring just does everything though, so this was a bad song to send him seeing as it has no slap. :( Try Helios?
