Jeff Berlin NAMM 2012

[@thebassofmontecristo]

Back when Jaco was alive Jeff was one of the few who was up on that level. He deserves an enormous recognition.

[@71ELP]

Berlin could always play circles around Jaco

[@micheldindaine8403]

Hat off to the "one- hand-drummer" too ! for his contribution.

[@jacquesprevert1902]

Danny Gottlieb is a monster.Smooth touch,perfect accents,amazing musical skill.

[@nickkellie]

Jeff is one of the best! what a treat!

[@TweedSalamander]

Love Jeff!!!.. especially when he's playing a Cosby sweater. :)

[@ericgc01]

I like how his sound is very clean for a fretted bass.

[@HectorJulioSanchezInda]

Great Master!!.I like your video!!, your channel!!. Have a nice friday!.My regards from Berazategui, Buenos Aires, Argentina!!.

[@MrSulfurMustard]

This guy's just unbelievable, a monster...right now all I want to do is burn my bass, my amps, my whole flat and cry hoplessly as I burn to death too.

[@bassturkey]

Jeff does more things on three frets than I've done in my entire life as a bass player.

[@synthaxe5058]

Abigdon Chasp is just hard to beat from any standpoint...Berlin's tone during his solo in that song sounds like a massive tuba. It's so amazing.

[@xphoenixinflamesx]

By the way, I'm not arguing the fact that Jeff's playing (both in this video and in general) is brilliant. That's what brought me here to begin with. Jeff's great!

[@ClausWeiergang]

It's 2 in the night, I am alone, I haven't taken anything today ....but I am finding myself clapping my hands, like a little child hearing music for the first time ....WTF ?

[@ZappaFan101]

Jeff Berlin is a monster on bass. It doesn't get any better

[@jazzbassist]

At 5:05, the audio clips... but it sounds SO AMAZING because he clips on the E... one of the most amazing notes ever. 5:00 - 5:10 is so cool, and the run after that? even cooler. This whole video is pure amazing!

[@aidange2]

this is the 100th time I've watched this video

[@taki7064]

爪が当たらない参考にと思ってリンクから飛んできたらとんでもなかったw

[@ALIASZARDOZ]

Excellent and Beautiful ! Marvelous...

[@rickyjones3536]

I would have never thought that someone playing just a single cymbal could sound so smooth LOL!!!

[@Jamie-kh4fi]

drummer is really nice guy!

[@ProducedBy10A]

One of my favourite bass players

[@Jett-Litt]

If Bootsy Collins really was standing over his shoulder, then perhaps he could actually impart some funk upon Mr. Berlin.

[@JeffBerlin-mt1rn]

We were playing jazz!

[@dano1103]

thanks!!

[@yveshamel]

hey! jeff what 's your bass

[@adamstevensbass]

completely agreed. thank you!

[@catalin8818]

hahahaha this is beautiful!!! :) what a duo! :)

[@tornmask1]

holy instrumental duet b@man, is the Dynamic Duo!

[@GOODBYEPORKPlEHAT]

I could watch a full concert with these cats.

[@wattage2007]

Monstrous musicality!

[@mackymaca]

Danny Gottlieb on cymbal! Jeff smokes on this one.

[@BOTTOM432]

Danny Gotlieb&J Berlin Sickness!!

[@martinpalmer6795]

He is superb.

[@nikkisamodio3024]

yes!

[@aidange2]

because a bass player needs to keep the groove while soloing, which is near-impossible if you're playing long notes, but listen to the abingdon chasp and either end of august by bruford

[@ILikatheTiga]

Ha ha good one...sure does. Uncanny when you google Walter images and switch between the two. Like whoa. "DENNIS!!!!" Mr. Wilson can jam though....

[@74jailbreaker]

Jeff Berlin man.

[@CuPPls]

Matt Groening play the electric bass???

[@aidange2]

does anyone know what he's playing after 2:20?

[@Smittyschannel]

Heck yeah I'll join in on drums!!

[@dano1103]

Is that Danny Gottlieb??

[@GOODBYEPORKPlEHAT]

This is some wicked stuff

[@harsszeg]

Just type in "SCOOP" in youtube and check when Marcus stops and asks for a drummer... that shit makes MEE a drummer....

[@bubz75]

beautiful hands

[@trentmartin2392]

I'd like to hear Jeff with a Series I. He's going for that tone, seem like.

[@holdencaustic]

Trent Martin - that would be interesting! Cool thing about Jeff- he’s always championed the notion that a bass can be good quality without being expensive. Best sig model he had were those peaveys.

[@Streetsafe1]

Jeff is about this best there is on electric bass. I love Squire too, but he is no Jeff Berlin.

[@Smittyschannel]

He should join up with geddy lee & have a jam session....

[@radamantisgamerOFICIAL]

que show

[@benchinho]

because he´s´against a metronome when PRACTISING... not when PLAYING - which is what he´s doing here...

[@MaxShlochz]

You need to know the melodies he's playing and the jazz tunes or/also be a musician.

[@fernandoroza6061]

Fun 😊😊😊😊👍

[@xphoenixinflamesx]

…without working with them to understand academic, proper, useful metronome use and the difference between that and useless or counterintuitive metronome use. Of course, my comment was intended jovially and jokingly, and my interest is not to argue, neither with Mr. Berlin’s teachings nor with you (which is why I use my real name on KZbin). I think it’s great that there are so many different opinions out there, musical and otherwise.

[@Anmovich]

WTF!!!!!...I?M Here !!!!....holy shit!!!!...dan Gottlieb???...OMG!!!

[@thebassofmontecristo]

Antonio Morales And he nails the melody with the accents like a boss. Then plays the solo implying the whole drum set on a single cymbal. That is just insaaaaane!!!!

[@sheriffii]

donna lee

[@rushnut2112]

Locked in.

[@jordipuppo]

amazing!!!

[@Streetsafe1]

See your point

[@MaxShlochz]

I actually thought it was wonderful, it's really great considering Jeff doesn't use chords here, and the drummer only uses a cymbal.

[@visog]

Meh... there's a weird thing going down with JB supporters who think he's god, then there's the rest of the world who thinks he's just practising dominant 7ths walks on their music listening time. Jeff we've moved on harmonically since 1955.

[@adamstevensbass]

yeah, i do suck.

[@SteveHoweJeffBerlin]

I love Jeff's playing but don't consider him "god". He is one of the best musicians though. I don't forget what the real purpose of the bass is : to play in the background, mostly with a band. John Deacon and Chris Squire are right up there with Jeff as great bass players. Jeff just plays more notes and probably has more "music training" and physical ability on the bass. If you ever tried to play his stuff, you'll see what I mean. Took me a long time to learn 2 of his solos (see my videos).

[@jedadiahhh]

Victor Wooten

[@pantekutub]

what a jamm, hahahha

[@eloyhbermudez]

Danny Gotlieb lol!!!

[@xphoenixinflamesx]

Well thank you, you're kinda making my point. I tell my students that the metronome is their drummer when there is no drummer. I teach a great deal, and I agree that use of a metronome isn't always appropriate. I'm able to help students differentiate between instances in which metronome use is helpful and those in which it's not. I would consider myself irresponsible if I told my students not to use a metronome, and I would consider myself just as irresponsible if I told them to use it...

[@mrriff3493]

Jesus man......chops

[@RonaldMoD]

Shiiiiieeeettt....

[@evilmushroom100]

Except treble clef lacks the punch that bass clef has.

[@marcos776]

1000000000000000000000000000000

[@kingtwo285]

Vuoi stare fermo con quel dannato piatto????!!!!!!!!

[@cuneytsonmez]

Somewhere on earth, if someone produce a bass sounding and looking like shit, Jeff Berlin goes and finds it and make it sound shittier than it is.

[@henniebogan1]

man why doesn't berlin leave more space when he's soloing? I know he's a beast but its just so boring to me

[@xphoenixinflamesx]

If he's against the use of a metronome, then why does he "NEED a drummer"?

[@74jailbreaker]

Boring?!! Don't you see what this man is playing!!!! This is beyond just your normal rock n roll bass solo. This is straight up Jazz and Swing man,

[@Jett-Litt]

Wow, that get's real old real fast. Sounds like a boring 9 minute improved sax solo played on Bass Guitar to the beat of a repetitive annoying cymbal. Almost tasteless! Bleh.

[@adamstevensbass]

i dunno.. i really don't dig jeff berlins time feel at all!!
