Nick Campbell Destroys Dean Town By Vulfpeck (Except It's Like 50bpm Faster)

This is my first content. I like this band and I tried to play this song really fast. It's hard.
I hope you respect my art.
:-)
Shout out to Danica Pinner for helping me film this.
Recorded on a custom Fender 70's Music Master with a Noble DI/Preamp and a Cali 76 Compressor in Abelton 9.

Perfect, I was in a hurry and didn't have enough time to listen to the original

Yes, this was an incredible time saver. But now I can't stop speed walking.

Please, play it 2x faster (2x faster than this), so poor men can listen it on any streaming service's as free one-mintute preview

You have incredible talent. Will you be our bassist?

I'm amazed by your talent ! Love the work you do with Pomplamoose, your basslines are just gorgeous !! You don't need to shred, to me, you already got these crazy moves and high level musicality. Keep grooving and sharing your good vibes ! Take care. PS : Cali comp + Noble DI seem to be great partners of crime...

What is neck choreography?

[@drumrit]

@@contra31 Watch a vulfpeck video. Pay attention to Joe Dart's neck (The bassist)

that bass face tho

I agree. The neck is pretty static, although the funky facial expressions more than make up for it.

[@heitoralthmann]

This is SO FUN to watch!!! Thanks for sharing Nick!

I've been listening to you a lot over the years in the Scary Pockets context and your skills are mighty tasty. You wring the most out of your participation in every song without taking over. Supreme Kudos! You are like the worlds best salt used on a steak. Everyone's probably raving about the steak but what they are actually raving about is how well SEASONED it is, that's why the steak shines. And badly or unseasoned steak tastes like crap BTW. Like all meaty beings it's the subtle touches that bring out one's best. Not so musical but a good life/food tip......... I digress..... Sorry for the food metaphor, I chef and music. I appreciate and notice the 'salt' brother. And your art is well respected in my house. PS: Can you tell me what fricken pickups are in this bass?.... it's driving me nuts!.
