Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Can't Stop 🌶 Dr Funk Slap Bass Cover (Busking Sessions 📍 Newquay)

Dr Funk is back with a slap bass Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s cover of Can’t Stop.
In a busking session in coastal town Newquay, Dr Funk covered one of RHCP’s biggest smash hits.
Multi-instrumentalist, live-looper, jazz funk bassist Dr Funk brings busking into the 2020s. He makes the four-string sing. He surfs. His dream is to own a 67 Mustang Fastback. He’s not actually a doctor.

🎥 Welcome to the official KZbin Channel of Dr Funk 🎵
Dr Funk lives to play the bass. That’s really all you need to know. Slapping, popping, strumming, riffing, he elevates the humble rhythm instrument to levels of melody and showmanship that are more commonly associated with the lead guitar. Inspired by legendary bassists - Marcus miller, Victor Wooten, Louis Johnson - Funk is the type of player who could jam on a groove for hours, building it up with his loop machine and keys. Fellow musicians stop and play with him. Crowds gather. Intrigued ears fished by Funk’s playing, pausing and taking time out to enjoy a stranger’s soundtrack.
It’s one of the most honest, unfiltered forms of performance you can imagine, and it’s one that the good doctor has known since he was 15. Since moving from Sunderland to Cornwall in search of surf, gigs and good times with his band of schoolmates - south west festival favourites The Big Sets - it’s the only job he’s ever had. Over the years he’s taken his unique style across Europe and, most recently, he’s taken his work across the world as one of the most popular viral street performers online.

Flea would undoubtedly be very impressed with this guy. This dude could go toe-to-toe with any bassist alive.

When your bass player says "I'll take the solo" - Totally amazing playing!!!

[@GingerKC]

How can anyone freakin walk past?????? I swear I'd kneel to worship him, 🙏. I bow to you oh mighty bassist. I'm blown away!!! I grew up with my best guy friend who was a Flea freak and Tony Levine. He was exceptional himself. I am a music snob. Give me some funk. But my taste is all over, from grunge to blue grass. This guy should be in a stadium!! Not a street. I'd pay! I wish I had a band, and I could have a bassist like him. Fantastic!!

[@user-gn9ig4kz7s]

The fact that he loves what he does and you can tell cause he smiles alot and he's feeling it is amazing

[@doylee469]

Some Dr.Funk really makes my day!

Holy shit... He really nailed the sound and tone of a fretless bass during the improv solo around the halfway point. I bet Jeff Ament would love this.

YESSSS! Thank you for this.

[@tzimmerman2134]

Really awesome sir! You are more talented than I, but I like that you can twist up a song into a unique performance. It is an incredible gift, and I would absolutely love to see an artist give you a lyric and drum layer of theirs for you to put your talent over. Its great having it in my head, and thank you for putting this up on youtube!

This kid is going places. Prove me wrong.

Not any band but most bands. only wish they had a bass player like that . and miraculously he wants to be in your band. Everyone is happy. Until they start to play and it only takes a second for everyone to realize there not even close to this dudes experience . And it blows them away . But they had the quickness to know they were in the presence of greatness

Buckethead & Dr. Funk could take so easily the world

[@loganjukes8820]

Buckethead has been trying for years. He's extremely talented, but makes shite music, let's be honest. It's not the type of stuff the world wants to hear.

[@christiancaceres1390]

@@loganjukes8820 Nonono. It's about muscular perception of the ears and the mental perception to get those sounds perfectly ordered for the brain to process well. In other words, you have to listen to quite a few other things before listening to some Buckethead albums. I understand most of his and I know there are people who do it too... he kind of got so good that he knows how long tempos should last with a fresh riff without falling into monotony and then changing. For example I recommend the albums Colma and Electric Tears which are more quieter.

[@loganjukes8820]

@@christiancaceres1390 Naaah man, who's been telling you that? 😆 I don't disagree that his melodies and music is complex, that's not the point. So is classical music. But there's good classical music, and bad classical music. I like a lot of Bucketheads music, but he produces hundreds of songs, the vast majority are not great songs. Not inspired, not interesting at all. But that's just my opinion ... my original comment was simply referring to the idea of Buckethead and Dr Funk taking over the world, which could never ever happen. 90% of people just wouldn't understand it. Their music would never sell well.
