Not really tbh. Bad crowds just react anytime you get louder. I've heard people go wild over terrible solos cause it's just a trumpet player playing something really high, meanwhile other people play very melodic and beautiful solos and no one blinks. We need to teach people to listen as much as we teach them to play.

@@marciamakesmusic If people like it, it's a good solo. I don't think there is any need to go around judging every solo based around on some arbitrary standard of good.

I’ve seen crowds cheer for repeated bars just because one of the musicians pulled a face the fourth time round.

@@marciamakesmusic naww man thats not how stank works

i’m assuming the crowd brought their pocket stankometers so they would know how loud to scream

I mean, neither does anyone else when you are tuned to drop-D or D standard.

To be fair when I listened it could arguably be a low E

@@crysiscore2051 it’s definitely a D. He’s tuned to drop D

low D is just a BIG D when in the pocket

@@OrIoN1989 Dart is a pretty big D.

IT WAS I SWEAR

Well he might be playing in drop D, because the 4th of the groove is D. That would be a good choice on the bassists part, as it gives a solid lower foundation for the groove

Sometimes when the groove takes over the music plays itself

@@GeorgeCollier Joe found a never discovered overtone

@@loganross2784 There's no way he was in drop D because the low Es at 1:47 were open because he played them while playing high on the neck

what does that control?

@@bjorn_joseph probably volume

​@@somekid8014 Then it's not versatile

Dear Mr. (or potentially Mrs. or whatever you may use) Aredtyg, Respectfully, I have no idea what you're trying to get at. I mean, I understand the meaning of the word "versatile" but not at all how it plays into my reply to your comment. Of course, I should mention I know very little about the bass guitar, but still, I do not understand how my comment, that was telling someone that a volume knob probably controls volume, came to be under your supposed critism. I would greatly appreciate an elaboration from you soon, Mr. Aredtyg, and until then, I bid you the best. Sincerely, Some kid

@@somekid8014 You think Vlance Armstrength is shifting into the active bass-boost granny gear in the French Alps? No, this is a 1982 single-speed Bridgestone! You're eating four pounds of white flour pasta a night, just putting in the work. Cut from a tree, okay! Stop whining! No more government subsidies for active basses!

Facts.

the :o lick isn't that hard if you build yourself up, it just goes down the major scale in A. the hard part is definitely the speed haha

dude's definitely a bass player

without a doubt

It’s useless

It's unmistakeable, you can't miss it

@@TotalACABReena what is it controlling

His name is Joe Dart. No need to call him a knob.

It's called an 'awesomeness' actuator...it only comes on one bass (the one he's holding 😉) lol

gonna go try that now, will report back later

woah that's crazy shit thanks for telling how it's done lmao

I wonder whether this is to do with intermodulation distortion, which is also why playing chords with overdrive pedals often sounds super muddy

I appreciate you sharing that trick (definitely about to go try it), but I think he just has his bass tuned down to D. Not sure what all the mystery is about.

We obviously can only see the back of his hand, but it looks and sounds more like playing an open string than a fancy power chord.

he’s just that good

ahahahahaha

quality shit can't be popular. if it does, someone died for it

pun intended? lol

@@h00db01i i think someome died

This aged well

@@GeorgeCollier lmao you blew up my dude

How’s your progress on this?

@@JoshuaWillis89 i'd say i got it down except the part where the band comes back in, that being said i simply got too lazy for the rest once i got down that one fast lick a while back. i'll get to it again tho because there's definitely still something to take away from that part, thanks for asking!

Uh if you can learn this by ear you should definitely put some of that skill into reading sheet music, it’s really not that hard. You’ve got the actual hard part down apparently

You can teach yourself to read sheet music stupidly easy.

solo*

I second this! Drop D tuning, definitely.

Cut from a tree!

My brother in gizz

@@klassickaden3494 REMEMBER! WHERE TO ENTER!

Then you haven't seen Dave Holland over Solar from the 90s. This is a great solo to be sure but check out Holland.

@@mattorlando415 thanks for the recc!

@@hippopilot6750 totally lmk if you find anything cool too, always looking!

@@mattorlando415 check out Charles Berthoud on yt he does some really insane melodic tapping

@@Elijah-ed5xk will do!

A bassist soloing like a guitarist works if someone else handles the bassline while the bassist solos.

Reminds me of something Wooten would play in a flecktones tune

Stomping grounds and such

yes indeed

Pretty fly for a white guy

@@sidharthv what like a formula 1 race?

@@sidharthv I see.. the sound was definitely a big part of the experience

agreed

Friendship with Jaco ended. Joe is my new best friend now.
