Hey all! Welcome to my channel. Here you'll find links to all sorts of things i've been doing musically with my solo and duo works, Consider the Source, Lessons and more!! Feel free to check out my videos and "Subscribe" if you dig what you see! Thanks!!
That's my biggest issue with RU-vid musicians, every one edits their playing until there's no soul left, also it leaves an unrealistic expectation to beginners bc their playing will never sound as good. I wish I could like this post twice
Hey John! That was fun! Loved the vibrato bits…and appreciate that mere mortals like me may have a shot at flubbing their way through this. The tone and melody remind of the Ventures and the surf music I heard as a kid. Very cool!🎸🎸💕🥂
Tapping is not suitable for solo play, after a few minutes it becomes monotonous and boring. In addition, the sound is unpleasant, aggressive and angular. It is very difficult to create a longer solo bass concert that will be interesting for a listener who is not focused on playing technique.
@@EscapeTheOverture yeah it’s human. It’s so funny that we got to this point where we need everything to be perfect and we see things as “less than” that aren’t! Good for you for sharing it warts and all
@JohnFerraraMusic thanks man and thanks for sharing all these little shorts, they are wonderful. Gotta find me an old Cube, playing outside is what I miss from my acoustic days. Be well!
Ridiculous. Absolutely, ridiculous. Beautifully composed, beautifully performed - unreal on all fronts. Here's half a year that's gonna go to transcribing this and who knows how long to actually learn to play it 😅 Cheers!
@@nram3930 took me about half a year to get this guys written and executed !! Thank you so much for the very kind words! Good luck and let me know how it goes!
@@ammaressam1 I think about a year ago I did a Reels/shorts lesson on this. If you want to look through and find some of my posts about scale, tapping.
When tremolo tapping, what are advantages of doing Tap/Thumb/Index/Ring if im more comfortable doing Tap/Ring/Mid/Index as most bass players more successful off the bat with that? Of course i practice both ways very slowly, im just better at one way than the other! Shed your wisdom! Thank you!
@@BassicAustinSludge in my infinite wisdom I shall bestow the secret!!! It is that I wrote the wrong finger haha! It’s totally tap / thumb / index / middle ;)
@@ApexPeakPlays well I’m certainly doing a very bastardized version of the original lol. But I don’t think Les does any slapping in this tune , odd for him !
Just now diving into this duo. Seth really is an ideal complement to John. I certainly wouldn't call him a minimalist drummer, but he doesn't seem to include much fluff or anything unnecessary. It's just right. Great cymbal work and fitting fills.
@@raymondlehman5548 thank you man! That really man a lot. We had a great run for a few years and he is no doubt such a fantastic player. I’m really glad you’re enjoying this concert !
Any chance we’ll get to see the full play through videos of any more songs? These are absolutely incredible to watch all three of you display your talents to the fullest, you guys deserve so much more!
@@Optic3498 thanks man! Unfortunately this is all we have of this song but if you check out my most recent full length videos I have a few more up there from Mono Means One!
Dude HELL YEAH! I always have to check out your videos when i get the notifications... your style is super cool! Im finally getting into bass again, now that i have a bass student again at guitar center! 🎉 Thanks for inspiring me!!!! 🙏
@@jamisonfernandez9751 thanks so much man! And teaching is great, it’ll help you analyze your own player and will help you get better quicker!! Thanks for following my work !
Not just by doing that but it was certainly a part of it. I would practice a lot to a metronome and would work on the same ideas with different rhythmic pulses underneath. And i have learned a chunk of Glasses work, check out my cover of Glassworks!
