[@geroutathat]

@@paperIrori Yeah, I seen a video about Irish Trad music, and I mention it because they have to jam together without knowing what the other will play. But they showed how you start learning. You basically pick up the instrument, and start. No reading sheets, no music theory, just they play a note, and you have to try replicate it, they sit there until you find it, then they play another. Eventually they can just play whatever they hear, and play whatever they hum even if they dont know what the notes are called. Obviously if you have long fingers youre gonna get advantages at some instruments, and even short fingers can be an advantage on others, big lungs for wind instruments etc, but I believe they like to start on a tin whistle, and believe anyone can start doing it at any age.

Wow, that was so insane. I can't pick a winner, aside from Ayumu who's in another league from everyone and it's not fair to compare him to anyone else, but aside from him, I loved all of them equally. Each person brought a wonderful unique style and really just proved them all to be world-class.

[@doomkrad]

I'm gobsmacked. Davie, you saved my day. Watching these virtuosi I was thinking to myself: "Dayum! So there is STILL hope for good music. And FUNK in particular. ^_^" Can't tell you how lucky I feel to have discovered this channel, purely by chance. Upvoted and subscribed.

[@Dtagcity]

Here for Misa! Band Maid is handsdown among the best Rock band of this generation. Go check em out if you haven’t already. That aside, would’ve been great to see Kiyoshi Manii included in this video. She’s in a band with Marty Friedman (former lead guitarist of Megadeth) Koga F Chopper from Doll$boxx is an amazing bassist as well and deserves a spot.

[@thebiglewt6895]

Remember seeing freidman quit Megadeth to become a mega star in Japan... fair play. will definitely check them out.

[@nomadichobo9837]

Here for MISA too, I am a huge Band Maid fan🤘🏼.... I am also a fan of Girlfriend, Mina’s bass line is always epic

[@Dtagcity]

@@nomadichobo9837 I’ve heard about Girlfriend but never checked it out as they seemed like a pop group, not that I have anything against such groups as I do listen to the likes of Little Glee Monster, Flower and recently Wagamama Rakia (idol/Metal similar to Babymetal). Guess I judged too early again, the same way I avoided Band Maid initially due to their name and image. Seriously what is with Japan’s love for elaborate trolling? 😅 Next time I have a list of artists to explore, I’m definitely starting out with the ones in bunny outfits and strawberry cupcake names. . .

That was an awesome video. I've heard of Band Maid and it's such a shame that they didn't have enough coverage on this video. But this does not take away the skills of the other Japanese bass players. They are so awesome that I feel like taking out my bass guitar and jam.

This is not a "bass battle"... This is a freakin country mash up man. It is really satisfying to see top talent collaborating making something this awesome.

[@bob2161]

There is little to compare this to. I've watched and shared it many times already, and I will continue to do so. The amount of pure talent and genius on display in this video is impossible for me to quantify. I do not use the E word often. Many people use it often, and they clearly have no grasp of the words gravitas. The performances shown in this video are truly epic.

Holy shit, what a great episode. Those Japanese bassists really did kick the fucking jam.

[@BradStarnes]

One hell of a jam session. So easy to listen to and just...enjoy. Man, music today has so little soul that it's always cool to find people doing their own things and making music that really speaks to you on a visceral level. Don't think about the music, just let it carry you away as you listen.
