MonoNeon | ["The Root/Tell Me If You Still Care" - D'Angelo & ?uestlove] (LIVE at Brooklyn Bowl)

[@abrahamjackson6019]

It's amazing how he can play far out of pocket and stay in the pocket at the same time , pure genius...

[@dylanb2711]

he was in the pocket before we knew what the pocket was ..

Mono neon is the Bootsy of our Generation

[@afriendfrommars5684]

This story is about my bass teacher. He is 65 years old and plays the guitar, but ill tell you, he can teach anyone to play anything. So there's this young me in my early twenties, holding this cold active Yamaha bass. At the first lesson he asked me if he can hold it - so he threw a few looks at it plucked a blues tune, and although I was pretty satisfied with it, and he said its a nice bass (but don't use those two nobs they destroy the real sound), his eyes told me that it was not good, but this short glance was captured in my unconscious mind. Now, 3 years later, I've learned how to use my years a little better - and I hear his glance on this specific bass. It's astounding to me, how in just 30 seconds he already knew everything about the bass, and also my playing (by hearing it for a few second). This opened my eyes to scopes that were beyond my youthful reach. As I progress in my practice and learning (of life itself, not just music), I find this scope-discovery pattern manifest itself EVERYWHERE. Then I became aware that the further you climb the ladder of depth, the less people understand what you do. The real journey goes inward.

Beautiful

[@AceAbells]

This guy will be the reason Fender releases a lefty guitar with the lower note strings on the top and the higher note strings on the bottom. Wow, impressive! Pino will be proud!

[@awoye]

Man, this is so funky I can smell it thru my IPhone!!!

[@rillloudmother]

either stop bringing your phone to the bathroom or get some alcohol wipes.

[@sharonrossi9238]

Music Integrates with Fragrance and Individuals with high intelluctually wired brain waves hold the sensorial perception to share the artist intent! FUNK ON !

[@djcoolcliff]

Prince knew what he felt! Mono And ARROn Hodek made we want to pick up the basss and I played at church 2 Sunday’s ago for the first time!!!!

[@johanali2088]

This Dude is hands down 1 of the most “Wicked Bass Players” I’ve witnessed!

[@ReggieMay]

Recognize... Prince Rogers Nelson himself played music with this brother. That's legit as it git.

[@PerryD504]

And not only did he play with Prince, Mono was teaching the" Purple 💜 one" a thing or two on that bass.

[@teddygee7859]

@@PerryD504 👁 have 2 say this after your comment. No disrespect. But how can u teach a dolphin 2 swim 🏊🏽‍♀️? Peace ✌️.

[@PerryD504]

@@teddygee7859 easy, just be as funky and talented as Mono is on that bass then legends like Prince will come looking for you. Prince saw and heard the talent and got him to Paisley park pronto. When I say "teach" I didn't mean that literally like Mono had to teach Prince note for note. Prince has been playing bass for decades. I meant Mono' s style is so funky and dude is so talented that since your equating this to a dolphin 🐬 swimming Mono just help to tighten up his "stroke" or play parts funky like Prince would.

[@PerryD504]

@@teddygee7859 if you don't agree with me read the comments/compliments on this video. Mono is the truth! Prince knew it when he heard him. Imagine how good it would be if you were Prince and found someone as talented as yourself that you could mold and learn from as well. It's a 2 way street.

[@teddygee7859]

@@PerryD504 👁 totally agree Mono is super talented. But 2 say that Neon taught Prince a thing or two on the bass? Ok. Prince did learn from a lot of bassist that 👁 know like Sony T, Larry Graham etc. 👁 would like see those comments. Mono is the real deal. 👁 read in an article about Mono & Prince that Prince said that he didn’t want him 2 do any of that “ Ghost note stuff” while playing with him. It would 🐝 interesting if Mr. Nelson was still alive 2 c if he would have that opportunity 2 play again. Mono Neon. Great talent out there! 🎸 🎸🎸🎸. Can u send the link w/ the comments about Neon & Prince? Appreciate it!

[@wordsworthdube1621]

Still can't get over this song....it hit me hard first time I listened to it. A rare blend of talent my man D'Angelo and young Mono Neon.

[@vincentward5150]

Damn Mono had me screaming with them runs!!!

[@Kross-x1]

This man is truly phenominal. His Bass notes says it all. Imagine this. It is a groove within a groove.

[@kwaysee]

There should be 1 Million Views in here! Freakin bananas!

[@estebanb7166]

Perfect feel. Pino is hard to cover and you did so with seeming ease. Great.

[@giac7baci]

Mannn I watch that video all the time and now finding mono putting bass on it is amazing!!!

[@delightschwartz195]

Flawless. In my humble opinion, Pino Palladino couldn't do any better. Much Respect.

[@ReggieMay]

All props to Pino, he does his thing well, his fretless is beyond reproach, and I love his groove. Mono is hitting it from a different angle -- more experimental, more harmonically exploring than most others. They each have their strength, their artistic inventiveness. Either way, we win from listening and watching. I've been playing bass since 19-nunyabizness, and I'm not anywhere near this level yet.

[@xolilemahlangu9344]

All respect to Pino but Charlie Hunter played both Bass and Guitar on this particular song.

[@bv6377]

....smh

[@LetsGoWrongboarding]

@@xolilemahlangu9344 ....at the same time

[@ron61957]

And he is playing the bass UPSIDE DOWN

[@GogOtHeCaT15]

@TheDucciano what he is saying is that the low strings are on the bottom

[@t9190kp]

@TheDucciano most left handed players still place their strings low on top on a right handed axe...This dude & Eric Gales on lead are notable exceptions...

[@Ddog666]

@TheDucciano Actually he's right-handed but plays left-handed. Mind-blowing stuff!

[@josephstafford8537]

@TheDucciano I just read that he is right handed and plays this way (upside down) in order to bend the high notes

[@jimireefer3689]
