Working on "Walk Don't Run"...

[Denis]

And I came across this gem on YouTube... I wonder if I sounded like this when I first picked up a bass.

[Aussie Mark]

That dude checked his rhythm and timing at the door.

[nofi]

he has that pete wentz sig bass. it's all downhill from there.

[hieronymous]

Wow, that kid needs to play along with some records!

[Pilgrim]

I'm sure that we've all had those moments, but few of us are silly enough to post them on YouTube.

And he's not even in the right octave for that number!!!

I still remember my first gig.  December 7, 1977 at the Howard AFB Youth Center.  The band had been together for 6 weeks and that was the extent of my experience on the Bass Guitar.  We were built up until the day of the show and there probably were 100 kids in the center.  During the first song about half of them left!    I had some cheat sheets with written notes on them and started playing the wrong song during one song.  My hands were shaking so bad I could barely fret a note.  It took a good 3 years for me to get over my stage fright.  I used to drink heavily to help combat it.  (I'd been drinking since age 15)  Lucky for me I was burnt out on drinking by age 20.    I guess my point is, we've all been where this kid is, just not stupid enough to post a video of it.

Geez, that bass sounds awful. Get him a $4000 Wankwick Warwick and he'll play better.

Well, he's certainly not lacking confidence...

Well, he's certainly not lacking confidence...

Which I think might change pretty quickly if he happened to encounter this thread.

I believe I saw on the YouTube page that the name of his band is Zero. Heh.

[Stjofön Big]

Wonder where he got the idea for that sound? I can't get no satisfaction?

[nofi]

for your consideration.

[Pilgrim]

Kind of a "novelty" version, but I like it.
