The MOOTS Play "Home At Last" | Live From Quarantine

[@tomjardine5583]

As a bassist, my hat is definitely off to you man! And I love your shuffle beats, percussion guy! 👏

[@leonlkowalski]

Come on... playing solo licks while singing AND gliding through a super groovy bassline? Unreal!

[@mootbooxle]

thank you! :)

[@oldgoat381]

Blows my fricken mind, and I'm decent at playing bass and singing

[@AlexBallMusic]

Talent!

[@AriKona]

Just like another comment here, I was listening to this today myself. How you can disconnect your left arm from your right (or sides of your brain) still mystifies me. It is incredible that you are able to keep them synced, yet playing completely different patterns. And Steely Dan is not for beginners in anyone's music book. Excellent use of a tremendous amount of talent, Moot.

[@mootbooxle]

thank you for the kind words my friend! I really don’t know how I’m able to do it, besides just having done it for thousands of hours since about 2013! Prior to getting into a trio situation in which I play left hand bass, I totally sucked at it! My left hand dexterity was terrible...just had to practice and get good!

[@rikshaw2233]

mootbooxle . Thanks for connecting the dots, practice is key to getting good. It's just your talent & the smooth way you play, it sounds like you were Born with it.

[@rogerm2420]

My thoughts for a lifetime bro 😊

[@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt]

Holy crap, I'm having a 1977 flashback! Where are my Micronauts? Why isn't Kojak on my TV??? Great job, muh man, you provided a beautiful return to "better days" with this. 👍 🕺

[@ScottFichter]

Oh man, so good, been a while bro but you never disappoint!

[@makers1958]

Lovin' it!

[@beetlespacexdragon7815]

Beautifully done! Can’t believe how smooth that bass line sounds.

[@withmygoodeyeclosed]

lol i only realized after 4 minutes that it wasn''t a real bass guitar

[@qphonix]

Man it's amazing how you keep the bass going and solo over it. Congrats, awesome Steely Dan cover.

[@mootbooxle]

thank you! It’s a fun challenge!

[@Revolution1117]

@mootbooxle Props to you guys. Great cover of one my favorite Dan songs. Also got that "Purdy Shuffle" down pat!

[@mootbooxle]

Revolution1117 thank you very much for listening!

[@StevenMorris]

Lovely lead sounds on this one! You both got that groove down perfectly too

[@mootbooxle]

Steven Morris thank you my friend!

[@KyleWhitlock-Music]

Sounds Wonderful guys! Love your music!

[@mootbooxle]

Kyle Whitlock Thank you so much for listening! :)

[@paulomartel9618]

Your Poly D demo brought me here. Very nice playing, and your hand independence is incredible!

[@mootbooxle]

thank you so much for listening Paulo!

[@muzixco]

Long time fan, Mr. Moot, great sound, keep groovin my friend.

[@mootbooxle]

muzixco I appreciate you listening and watching!

[@MarioVerkerk]

Awesome as always! Really loved your singing on this one :)

[@mootbooxle]

I appreciate it Mario! :)

[@SynthMagic]

Great Voice and great playing. I think your playing and vocals would also work great with Jamiroquai songs.

[@mootbooxle]

Synth Magic Thank you! We do one Jamiroquai song, we do Virtual Insanity! It’s certainly been on my mind to learn more!

[@ReneeNme]

Moot (Matt), the coolest guy on KZbin I know.

[@mootbooxle]

you should meet more people! haha :) thank you my friend. :)

[@LiamGaughan]

Subscribed for Merry Christmas Talkbox, stayed for the Dan. Amazing control of the keyboard patches as well, and the bass as well... nuts dude. Thanks

[@mootbooxle]

thank you! I appreciate you sticking around!

[@winddealer1]

Loved it! More of the Dan. You guys are amazing. I see Bernard Perdie even shuffled into the session :) Is Cousin Dupree next? Keep that Bass player!

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you!! We don’t do Cousin Dupree but we do know several other Steely tunes...so maybe we will!

[@borispradel1037]

Unbelievable talent!...and some complain about the Karp smaller keys... they don't seem to be a problem for you, are they?

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you! I actually find the slim keys on the KARP to be very comfy and they allow me to play huge intervals! It’s a bit of an adjustment from full sized keys as far as muscle memory goes, but not a big problem!

[@___David___Savian]

In the 1960s people were in awe that 4 guys from Liverpool could be such great musicians coming off an era where it was mainly big bands of many musicians for one song. Then in the 1990s people were again in awe that this time 3 guys from Washington could have such great talent. Ladies and Gentlemen...... the new champions with only two players is on KZbin leaving the world in awe..... and we just saw them do it. I have seen one man bands....... but they still suck. So for now the title belongs to Moot and Darrell.

[@mootbooxle]

those are some kind words...thank you!

[@DarrellNutt]

Wow! This made my day! Thank you!

[@shawnphase]

absolutely funky fresh as always! lovin it you two!

[@mootbooxle]

thanks bro! Miss you man!

[@shawnphase]

@@mootbooxle you too man! tryna talk in the irc a lil more again :D

[@Dawgisht]

Been subbed since the "Ghetto Talkbox"... keep that fonk stank, M00t!!! Peace

[@mootbooxle]

I sure appreciate you staying around :)

[@LuddyVonBeat]

No problem playing bass with the KArp minikeys?

[@mootbooxle]

LuddyVonBeat not at all, in fact I prefer it!

[@SynthTweakscom]

sMOOTh! :)

[@payt01]

Sometimes I wonder: how boring would it be if everyone had the same amount of talent for everything? I guess we'd end up with a grey drab goo of mediocrity.. everything would be kinda same-ish. I'm glad that obviously isn't the case, and that everyone has talent for different things. You seem to have been endowed with an unproportionally big amount of talent for making music though. and we're all the better for it! Keep'em coming!

[@mootbooxle]

Payt Laros these are questions I ponder far too often, haha! Thank you so much for your kind comment :)

[@leonordmann]

Nice point of view 😊

[@guitarfan01]

Are you using a harmonizer/talkbox effect on the vocals at some points? I couldn't see a sound source for that in the video and it was tripping me out.

[@mootbooxle]

yes! I have an Electro-Harmonix vocoder connected to my main keyboard via MIDI so I can add harmonies!

[@guitarfan01]

@@mootbooxle that is the second time in the last two days I've seen someone do that. Pretty cool!

[@maraboshi]

I listened at 1.5 speed by mistake and it was even cooler :-D

[@mootbooxle]

haha I gotta try that
