PRS Experience 2013 Rhonda Smith thumb technique

[@danielhartle3778]

Wow! I am forever in debt as U just turned a Classical Guitarist since age 5 into a 50 year old Bass Player. Such respect for your technique and musicality!!! My old a** is working on some songs in a very modest studio and I have learned enough from U to play my own bass. Thank U so much for the gift of your knowledge and thank U for being so selfless in sharing that knowlege.

She's a very cool Cat, nice lady. Was such a great experience and honor to host her in Uganda 🇺🇬 in 2012 👌🏿

Rhonda is killing on a PRS Gary Grainger signature bass! Anybody who played for Prince is no joke!

[@NikkieRoxxx]

[@Bassic778]

@@NikkieRoxxx "Mountains" by Prince and the Revolution.

I love Prince songs his my idol 😍🥰🧡❤️😍 my childhood musical

[@Bassic778]

@@francisrankin1771 Prince was one of the talented musicians that have ever lived. Since he was an incredible bassist himself, the bassists who played with him had to be amazing!!!

[@ottowes]

Rhonda really makes the song here! Exceptional bassist!

[@apostlej.k.diamond4119]

That song was made 30 years BEFORE her...great Bassist though!!!

I'm melting,,this is how this done, melting , so melted right now,

Great selection. Parade May just be my favorite Prince album. And I didn’t know that Wendy originally played bass on the record.

Musicology is in the house! Take 'em to school Rhonda.

Your Techniques are very excellent and i admire your Style !

[@pervezmquadir]

Awesome ❤️

[@ludmilagaiduk2258]

Какая же она классная!!! 👍👍👍

[@samlelowitch]

Cool! It looks like she's doing a variation of the slap technique where she alternates striking the string from above with the bottom of her thumb and striking the same string from the bottom with the top/nail of her thumb ... what might be called the Double Thumb Technique as popularized by Victor Wooten and Marcus Miller. Do I have that right?

[@MonoIce350s]

Correct

[@Vulf]

WOW !!!

LMAO what up volf??!?!

[@strauqq1]

I love it!

[@RedAndtheBlackRocker]

I'm surprised Prince's lawyers haven't shut this video down yet! He's notorious for limiting his music on KZbin in any way, shape or form.

[@michaelbrooks3650]

Seth Dominick I don't think he would have a problem with it since he did discover Rhonda.

[@apostlej.k.diamond4119]

Which it's HIS intellectual property so he can do whatever he wants with it!!!

[@DanLoFat]

NEver let it be said that Prince is arrogant - giving her permission to use the whole track for a clinic, really nice of him.

[@amandasmith5101]

Nice groove!

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Ohhhh yeah. That works.

[@tomt8691]

Yeah,groove on Rhonda!
