He toured Australia with Satch in 1990(?) and did a clinic at the old Bass Player shop on Parramatta Road at Annandale. 20-30 people there, and I've never seen, or even heard of the guy. Best clinic I've ever seen. Played, spoke and and chatted for ages. The nicest, most humble musician I've ever come across. Played this exact solo amongst other things, but was perfect. No bum notes anywhere. Just perfection. I knew then I'd never get as close to a virtuosic as this in my life. Thanks Stu, your legacy lives. 🤘😝🤘

It's so encouraging to see the bass guitar evolving into more of a solo-friendly instrument. Back in the "stone age" the classicists were writing pieces for the bass viol, and they received no outcries of 'self-indulgence' or the like. I'm buying a new EADGC five-string just so I can better explore Bach, Beethoven and the like. In a few centuries Satriani, Hamm, Van HALEN, Claypool and Sumner (i.e., Sting) will be named among the classicists. But Stu did all this on a 4-string bass!

Fantastic! I have seen this video thousands of times since it was uploaded. And I always enjoy it. At the beginning of 1990 I heard Kings of Sleep for the first time. I started playing bass a few years before and the impact that Stuart Hamm caused me was tremendous. In those years the access to the clinics was not very simple in my country. So to try to make the bass sound like him without having seen how was his tapping technique was, believe me, very ... entertaining so to speak . Years after the opportunity to see it live.

[@MaggaraMarine]

+Andrew Murray He can play the bass "like a bassist" when playing in a band (just listen to Steve Vai's Passion and Warfare for example). Here he's just playing a solo, so he has to keep it melodic. I don't think he's even playing it like a guitar here. This is bass tapping, most people don't play this kind of stuff on guitar when they tap. I actually hate the term "play bass like a bassist". It doesn't mean anything. Bass has its usual role in a band, but this guy is not playing in a band at the moment - he's playing alone. Would you want to listen to him playing usual bass riffs alone? That would just be boring. When a guitarist plays a guitar solo, he doesn't play riffs or strum chords either (and that's what guitarists do in a band most of the time). If a guitarist played solos in a band all the time, it would sound horrible too. Guitar solos have their place in music. Bass solos have their place in music. I don't know why they should differ from each other. But when you are playing a song, you should play the song, not solo all the time. And this applies to ALL instruments, not just bass, and it should be a no-brainer. The guitarist needs to play the rhythm, just like the bassist needs to, unless there's a time for a solo. That's how it goes. Solos are not only for guitarists.

[@moviesims183]

+Andrew Murray I know he plays it like a bassit. I said that because bassist are the most underestimated part of a band. But in reality the bassist is the backbone of a band.

It's the Eddie van halen bass version

[@99skiller97]

I was gonna say beethovens moonlight sonata bass version, but I suppose that works too

[@99skiller97]

Well atleast until 0:40

[@RicondaRacing]

My favorite instrument and my favorite song. Wow 💪

[@sevendaggers4678]

THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE BEST BASS SOLO EVER - PROBABLY THE BEST STU HAMM SOLO ... but there is a world out there of great bassists with great solos ...

Here’s a bit of advice. Don’t claim that the title is wrong just because you disagree, and definitely don’t use shouty caps. When you do you sound like a hyperactive, ignorant child.

Every time I play this my dog falls asleep😂

He looks like Frodo's incredibly talented cousin

At first saw Stu when he was playing with satriani on the blue turtle tour. Remarkable player. I always felt very underrated

[@manicmusician7672]

Who tf is this guy and how have I never heard of him

[@franciscomarquez3678]

Stuart "Stu" Hamm, and don't worry I had the same reaction back in 2013.

[@chrislinhares7311]

I meant Beethoven. That was just razzle-dazzle nonsense, Taps and slaps are a lot easier than they look if you can play bass or guitar at all. Jaco was a true pioneer artist and no one compares to him.

[@hotheadedjoelhaha]

He plays with Satriani and some here 'Cut him down'? It's the equipment? No shit-Try It.

[@ryanpham3308]

Percussive bass players never cease to amaze me.

[@GrimicAcid]

Does this remind anyone else of Banjo Kazooie?

[@OtterzRUs]

Yeah, it sounds just like the banjo music ^_^

[@shmacul5690]

towards the end it goes into the banjo part in foggy mountain breakdown

[@Bigchuck1kr]

0:50 sounds like forensic files

[@simonmarulanda2159]

1:52 start the best part :)

[@NK-ke6yy]

El Baltazar agreed. Do you know the song?
