JazzBassfreak Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Hey guys I thought I'd start a conversation about a hilarious guy on YouTube called trever. His channel is called Treverpitts and he attempts to teach stuff he can't actually play, he has about 2500 subscribers and I am still baffled as to why. Anyone got any YouTube bass players they regularly watch that I should check out? Quote
steve-bbb Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 nope cant see any bass uploads on that channel just a whole load of cornfed americana Quote
Mr Stinky Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I like this guy. Howtoplaybassdotcom Quote

JazzBassfreak Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 He likes to edit other people playing over random video of him so it looks like he's good Quote

JazzBassfreak Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 http://youtu.be/ghTI8O_gXT4 He just will not accept that his Orion riff is wrong WARNING HE CANNOT TAKE CREATIVE CRITICISM Quote
mikeh Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I like MarlowDK and bedroombassist, both put up good videos. Not a bass player, but I also subscribe to meytal corn, great drum covers. Quote

JazzBassfreak Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 What do you guys think of Trever pitts? Quote
Dingus Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1393268661' post='2378072'] What do you guys think of Trever pitts? [/quote] I think. like a lot of folks on YT, Trevor isn't necessarily the most socially well-adjusted individual, and so it's not such a good idea to mock him for the sake of it, however tempting that might be . I am the last person to try and be holier-than-thou about it, trust me, but much better to focus on the good things about the You Tube bass players that you enjoy and can learn something from. . I have got my own favourite You Tube bass playing eccentrics that I would love to share with you and everyone else on Basschat,, but it's probably not a good idea. When it comes to other bass players, unless they are an established professional, if you can't say something nice then it's usually best to say nothing. Edited February 24, 2014 by Dingus Quote
Diablo Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Trever - well I don't think I really good enough to be posting all over youtube, but I think I'm better than him! ELO - great playing but he used a pick - would have been much more impressive using fingers, but I don't really get the whole playing bass with a pick thing anyway. Quote
Dingus Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1393176886' post='2377010'] You guys will love this one too [media]http://youtu.be/jIiidR7LrcQ[/media] [/quote] ..and if Trevor gets his hands on you it sounds like he will f*** you up. Quote
