Stingray5 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 ...It's actually not too much of a slap-fest, either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Takes three minutes to get interesting, and i still don't care. Have i missed something? The slap section is rough too. The guy is playing a lefty Stingray, Strung like an upside-down righty...hmm. Still don't care. *i don't personally get it, as a 'demo'* Edited September 4, 2010 by AndyTravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witterth Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 MMmmmm...

Chris2112 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Urgh, "bass noodling" at its worst. I love a good youtube bedroom slap fest like the rest of us, but this really struck me as aimless and uninspired. The recording was pretty poor and doesn't show off the MM well, as it sounds hollow and lifeless. I didn't enjoy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanbrook Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 He can play that is for sure, however far too many notes for my taste but I would bet at a gig he never plays like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) I just keep thinking of roasted peanuts when I hear of these roasted necks!

AndyTravis Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I think i was a bit harsh last night, nice bottle of white sharpens the tongue - I try not to be a negative whingebox. I reckon i was just a bit underwhelmed by this chap, considering he's obviously a 'name' player doing demonstrations. Maybe i should change careers. Anyhow, fair f***s to him, i'd love his job. I want my neck Roasting, but it won't go in my oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vibrating G String Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 It's probably just the bass he's playing Here's the same tune with a different bass. I think he sounds a bit more inspired and funky here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanbrook Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Wow night and day ! This cat can play. Still not my cup of tea but there is no doubt he has skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
