When Someone Requests Santana but only the Bass Player Knows It 

We learned it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mifxUPm-u4A.html But we still did it our own way. Thanks for your support!

Bass Player trying to explain music: "the key is uuhh E, uh sorry, g" "Major, Minor?" "uuuuuuuuuuhhhh Minor" "The chords are ta rara rararaa" haha Im dead

Am i the only one impressed by his ability to play a song that he doesent know just from guidance?

My wife heard that slinky tone when I was watching it on my phone. Asked if I was watching a strip tease. Santana effect verified.

"What's the key?" "E" "Major Minor?" "G" "Major Minor" "Minor" *Song is in C minor*

The band we need. DOVYDAS on electric guitar, Davie504 on Bass, seth everman on keys

You can't complain that he doesn't play the "requests" note for note, because you have to understand, these are songs he's never heard, yet he still plays it from scratch, on the spot, no practice - and he actually does it pretty well. Not a lot of people can do that. I, myself, have been playing for a near two decades, and through those years I'd like to believe that I've relatively mastered playing by ear, but I'm humble enough to admit that I can't pull off something like that without prior practice. And seriously you gotta ask yourself as well, how can he be that good and not know Santana (or Iron Butterfly)? Which leads me to believe that this here is a true math player - he knows all the notes, the variables, the math - give him any equation, and he'll give you a solution (if I'm making any sense). That he may very well be a true player, a pure musician, who learned without exposure to these songs that have, well, more or less defined...music, ergo learning without limits. And he does it with true passion as well. He's way up there with Captain Beefheart. And I must say, at first glance at your videos, I was a bit skeptical, but now I am dumbfounded, and in true awe. Bravo, man. And the best part is, you're way too underappreciated in your own time - you're living the dream!

A bass player that knows how to play a song? What an exotic specimen

Ive said it once and ill say it again, this is a true musician. Had no idea how to play this song and manages to work it out in literally no time during a live performance with some basic guidance from the bassist who also seemed unsure himself. Great job guys.

when you look at the clock and realize you been watching this guys RU-vid channel for the past 2 hrs on your day off and still listening to some twice

that bass player just plays the songs by feel, he's like "key? The fck? tempo?" he maybe plays the whole song in his head perfectly.

The man on the red jacket just closed his eyes and let Dovydas' music take him...i feel you man. I feel you

"Those are the notes, you know it?" "No." "Ok."

That was pretty good for not knowing the song to begin with!! FINALLY...your music is appreciated!! 👏🎧🎶🎼🎸🎤🎵💞💕

That's a cool bass that guy has. I see what he was going for. He wanted an upright hollow fretless but electric bass. So he made one. Great. Now I want one.

If DOVYDAS was born blind, I swear could still play the colors of the rainbow from just a description!

Going from not knowing a song to playing it in minutes... that's some serious talent! Not to mention how well the two just get into it! That's hella impressive!

lol - I think this is my favorite non-solo performance yet. The editing and subtitles are gold! You turned a trainwreck into an awesome thing!

I loved the way you improvised after getting the chords. Sounded pretty much what Santana would have done improvising.

Puĺled that out of somewhere.. i dont know where haha.. i was having a panic attack just watching.

Very accomplished musicians. My 1st impression was: WOW! What an awesome learning curve that this guy has! I really wish that I had THAT! But then, I realized that he has obviously put in the work to gain the skill, taste, and ability to be able to pull this off. To be able to do this performance took a LOT of study and practice of music.

That's too many chords Had me dying Great job

I want this guy at my wedding playing whatever comes through his heart and taking requests here and there of course lol this guy was fashioned by the gods

One of your best performances in my opinion, the emotion you played with in this improvised version is 100x better than the original version!! I can't believe this video doesn't have triple the amount of views!

What I love about Dovydas is that he can take any path of music and blaze a trail through it.

And Carlos Santana sold about 10 albums later that day.

I found this channel because of his vid titled when someone request a piano song from a guitar player

You finally did it. Someone finally applauded your effort. Finally! I'm so happy! ❤️

I love the editing and the general skill of your playing, really love it you're awesome cheers from Mexico

Your editing makes things look hilariously awkward

Wow, watching you learn by ear as you go, so fantastical!

1:53 when your teacher asks if you've done your homework

That bassist just earned you a sub.

Really inspiring man! Before I clicked this, I was a little disgruntled, like 'how many songs does he know to do requests so often!?' Turns out we got to see some magic being worked out from practically nothing! Thats even more inspiring :) Cheers from Colorado, keep on keeping on

I know from experience how difficult it can be to reproduce someone else's music, especially when you aren't very familiar with it. I spent months trying to master another musician's drum solo, and still couldn't quite put it together on stage the way I wanted (like the original)...just didn't feel right. Hats off to you, sir.

You have great ability to improvise! I'm looking forward to see where you go with this talent. Hope to see you on the big stage soon...

I love these "teaching" style jam videos. great hook to get you in. Quality Certified Grade A content.

I can’t even think of the words to describe this talented man, simply amazing work

I like that starts with I do not know the pattern and after one run through he takes the lead. Love the bassist cool. Gonna watch again thanks.

I've have watched a few of this guys videos. I've never seen this talent ever before. You are amazing at what you do. Truly.

Goes from not knowing it. To killing the solo. Love skills man.

That was great. Hats off to Dovydas and Joe! Santana would dig it.

Least they gave you an applause this time! Good stuff man!

You definitely got the blues, loved it :)

I have always loved Europa, this reimagined version is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I've shared it with others and they are impressed as well! Solid work!!

Please play more Carlos Santana, you are great

@4:55 Joe was saying "This is getting to my head ...I will go solo". Nice one, can`t stop playing it

Never heard it before, ended up playing it. That is cool.

I just loved it.. it turned out to be so intense in the later stage. The way he picked up the song from the bassist was awesome.. he is truly a performer and passionate towards music. Keep it up.. This video made me hit the subscribe button when he started his solo..

"Oh that one"

How you managed to pull this off is beyond me. I've been trying to learn Europa for 2 straight months and I still can't hack my way past the 2 minute mark! Hats off to you, good Sir!

Carlos Santana is my favorite guitarist of all time, and I love this song, and I think that you totally did a great job, you are a great musician, keep on rocking!

that was great man! the audio headroom is also great! :)

It is mind boggling how You do such a great job of playing music that you basically never heard of !!👍🤗🎉 Looking forward to seeing you in person !!

This... all of this brought a smile to my face. You truly know what you're doing even when you think you're not. You're a true musician. Amazing.

Awesome arrangement! Man you're a great musician. I really admire your work... I'm still just learning basic chords and let me tell you.. this is really inspiring. I hope I could get to be at least half as good as you someday! Warm regards from Costa Rica.

That was next level improvising. Dovydas improvise king.

beautiful... just holy shit

*NAILED IT, ACED IT CAN'T BE STOPPED!* Points at DØVYDAS and smiles, well done man 10/10

Can turn anything into something great to listen too. I enjoyed every bit of it. Even the confusion. Makes it that much better.. hahah "whats the key," Cracks me up

It is truly one of the best instrumental songs ever, evokes so much emotion and the guitar sings. And you did it good Justice.

its kinda frustrating that the bass player told him to play around the fourths but he didnt. good thing the bass player adjusted to his chord progression. Still a great job.

I've seen a few of your videos before and I've rarely been so mesmerized to just sit and watch music. Your talent for creating art is something truly inspiring.

you really didn't listen to europa before this...but you still pulled it off! I'm sure youv'e listened to it by now but that was a great request because it truly fits your style in my opinion..but keep exploring music is and endless journey!!! well done!!!

U r getting better and better mate. Keep it going. Stat blessed.

Stranger: can you play- Dovidas: k got it

I swear bro your ability to pull anything out of thin air is INSANE!!!

I really like the progression of how find your way into the song. Good one!

You set a genuine new level of music

This is awesome, truly shows how good of a musician you are man, keep up the great work

Bravo from the Philippines, for not knowing it that was very nicely played. Your personal touch is awesome.

0:45 totally got me. Your editing is gold

As a Santana fan, and Europa being one of my favorites, this is a really good version!

High as balls and LOVING this new performance. Great as always!

I love your tone so much and the way you feel when you play!

funniest shit ever the beginning

That part from 4:15 to 4:58 was so good. You are a musical genius.

Amazing!

Holy shit balls! You have to be the most talented guy I’ve ever seen.

This editing style is hilarious dude you gotta keep this up.

7:02 That look is like "Damn I'm Good"

Have gigs been more steady since your RU-vid fame? I've been seeing some really chill stuff from you. Keep it up

Your ability to catch on and understand music like that is awesome. Keep it up!

I love how the guy in red closed his eyes and experienced the performance differently!

Some of my favorite improv I've seen on this channel.

Frecking love these videos where somewhere requests the song and it turns from nothing to something epic... similar to your kendrick lamars be humble with the band... that came out of nowhere.. very entertaining.. keep doing you dovydas!

This is why I practice every day I want to be able to improvise like this more than anything

please, PLEASE, come someday to Argentina. Everyone will praise you here

this is actually a fire cover, by not knowing the original song you made it completely your won, I need it on Spotify ASAP

damn..ur so good..invited it like seconds but turned out to be masterpiece...you inspire me to play guitar more seriously..-respect.

Yassssssss!!!! This is why "jamming" is inportant.... you don't need to know the song. Improvisation is a musicians best tool

Once again he kills it!!

It's so easy to see your passion in your face when you play

Man, you & Joe nailed that Santana vibe! And yeah, that's hell of a bad-ass' upright bass! :D

Oh boy, what can I say? I just picked up the guitar and I can't get enough of your videos. Absolutely amazing, I hope to become as great as you!

As an ad-lib you did a damn fine job Dovyas. Much respect.

Dude you killed it seriously props. 💯💯💯💯

I think the original song this one is based of is called "Não deixe o samba morrer", released in Brazil in 1975 sang by Alcione!

Dovyas is a true professional

Thats what makes you who you are, my friend... play on, love it!
