Hey Ming, you are a great player. Great tone and technique, respect.

[@MingQu]

Thank you! I like Le Fay bass too, I hope someday I could buy one.

[@TheGreyCrusadeStudio]

I haven't even seen Wooten play it this clean. Well done brother!

[@bizzychops]

Wotten still plays it better

[@Xdrummer3000]

@@bizzychops cleaner =/= better

[@shaundfg5737]

Wooten created it tho

[@dasrite]

@@Xdrummer3000 as a means of gauging technical mastery of the instrument cleaner is better sorry, thing is Wooten isn't focusing on making it super clear he's focused on enjoying it, but people don't need to get triggered by someone saying that this is cleaner and more technically impressive than even Wooten himself playing it usually

[@NaiveGabri]

yeah maybe it is too much clean

[@pickupghoul4196]

No matter what, the hands, the fingers and of course, the brain, produce the ultimate sound and tone of a bass. Beautifully played!

[@off-brand]

Wow this is much better than Wooten playing. amazing work Ming.

[@edwardthendean4488]

Probably the best The Lesson bass cover I've ever seen! 🔥🔥🔥 The articulation, and the groove is on point! The tone and the techniques are smooth! Also the studio and the video editing is dope! A complete package! Well done! 👏👏👏

[@MingQu]

Thanks!

[@ImJustStandingHere]

I was about to comment the exact same thing but you did it a year ago lmao

[@guihermeborracha7412]

Have you ever heard Charles Berthoud playing this? I now nothing about music and even less about the bass, but I would risk to say it was a better performance.

[@pauloguitar4366]

​@@guihermeborracha7412Charles é fora de série, um alienígena, difícil achar alguém tão habilidoso e técnico quanto aquele cara, mas esse baixista também toca muito.

[@fkutw4tt3rtub3]

@@guihermeborracha7412 no, Ming's versions is miles better than Charles' one, he also plays it right away without talking about himself you could add it to your playlist and listen

[@qikqbn77]

Bass player myself. I can not imagine how many hours of practice it took you to get to this level. I have always been aware of the shape of Victor Wooten's hands and fingers. Years of practice will do that to you. You are on your way!!! Bravo. Keep up the great work!!

[@dutchdykefinger]

and a tough lesson at that extremely well done

[@adrizapata9241]

Wow, every single note was clean as a whistle, you're truly gifted sir, thank you for this.

Awesome, like I never see before, except Wooten

[@digeratadesign]

Can you do a video on all your basses and their qualities and why you like them. This playing was sweet.

[@MingQu]

Wow that will be a big work. I'll try that in the future.

[@alicerugiero6828]

intense

[@RobertWadlow292]

Excellent work. Not an easy song to cover at all. It would be interesting to know what Victor is doing with this Actually it looks like he uses the Aeolian mode throughout a lot of the song and switches to Phrygian maybe part way through

[@shameonlemon4098]

Heyy Can you pleaaaaaaase make a little tuto to show how are played the slap+tap parts please

[@lupapo3448]

how- wh- uh- o_o this mans just made this song his own, which i’ve never seen be done before… i’ve got a new goal i guess!

[@kevendonga7966]

Awesome man.....How did you master it?

[@andraskarajos]

Did you accidentally make a tab for this amazing cover? I am working on learning this song for a while, but sadly there are still some leftover pieces I could not figure out. I would apperticate it really much! But anyways, great job, this is really the best cover I have seen on youtube so far!

[@MingQu]

Thanks. I didn't make the tab. I transcribed this song by watching the "EMG live" many many times, so I memorised it at the same time. In fact I tried to do the tab thing after that, but stucked at the first bar. It's so difficult to clearly note every ghost note and the articulation.

[@rodrigoglopez]

Great cover! For sure, one of the best I've seen of this song. Did you use any music sheet/tab?

[@MingQu]

Thanks! Nope, I transcribed this song from Vic's lives, like EMGTV, Berklee shows etc. it's really a big work😓

[@PatsapongBass]

It's the best cover , amazing skill , amazing sound , I respect 😁🙏 can you explain how to play riff on 4.44 - 4.58 please?

[@southpoundham]

Look up double thump or double thumbing

[@medmac2112]

@@southpoundham Actually, that riff doesn’t require double thumbing. It’s just extremely fast triplets that consists of a slap, hammer on, and pop. If you slow down the video you can see.

[@-Silly-Goober]

You can use timestamps yknow ( 4:44 is an example)

[@-Silly-Goober]

@@medmac2112i would look but it sounds so bad i wanna reset my roblox character in real life

[@user-ss3gs9sc9y]

is it open slap, hammer on, pluck pattern for 4:45?

[@stephenmitchell2979]

Wonderful, how long did this take you to master? Great playing.

[@MingQu]

About 3 months

[@jzbass14]

awesome!!!!! can I ask what kind of reverb do you use??

[@MingQu]

Hall😄

[@tristangorin8087]

What amp / sim did you use? Wonderful clean tone

[@MingQu]

Rmi DI, cali76 comp😄

[@andrewjoseph8924]

How did u do the muting/flamingo style thing at the start piece and what is it called? I’m trying to learn the piece but I can’t do that technique.

[@MingQu]

There's some tutorial on KZbin, but I'm not sure we use the same method. This is a combination of left and right hand to create the groove.
