kevbass Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I know some of you may say it lacks groove and may even say it sounds like a guitar piece on bass but I think its tastefully done, and its the first time Ive really heard a ritter being played [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwtcDQh-d2s&NR=1"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwtcDQh-d2s&NR=1[/url] Quote
Kiwi Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I love the use of suspended chords and inversions. I have a feeling that one will eventually make its way onto a few bass playing syllabuses. Quote
Ou7shined Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) That was sublime. Thanks. Here's another version where you can see his fingers a bit better. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fuGVGtq8Cg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fuGVGtq8Cg[/url] Edited August 25, 2008 by Ou7shined Quote
teen t-shirt Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 the whole slap and pop thing aint normally to my taste but i do like that... very nice... Quote
Rich Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Very pleasant. Loved the reply that said "[i]this guys good but without les [claypool] this guy wouldnt be anything[/i]"... yeah that's right, slap and chords and high register stuff were invented by Les weren't they? Twerp Quote
Faithless Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Nevertheless, it's nice. Nice and not-going-boring. I enjoyed that. Quote
escholl Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 i've got his cd, the guy is truly amazing. if you look him up on myspace the audio is much better, as far as i can tell on his album he doesn't use any effects other than compression and reverb. not sure why he uses some of the effects he does in his videos, doesn't sound as good by any means. and he's from vermont! win!

Hit&Run Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I don't normally like 'widdly sh!t', but I thought that sounded OK. Gasp, it could even be used to good effect in a song! Quote
Wooks Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Me likes a lot, very tasteful. Great mellow background music Quote
Guest MoJo Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I followed the link then had a look at his other stuff on YouTube and it starts to get a bit 'samey' and, dare I say it, boring. Sorry Quote
Gamble Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) I didn't listen to all of Space Opera, but I quite enjoyed "Thupty Dumpty" [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6waS38HBSg&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6waS38HBSg...feature=related[/url] It made me think of Les Claypool jacked up on steroids! It's cool, but he seems to slip off the groove to me. Might be that it's me not keeping up tho..... Edited August 29, 2008 by Gamble Quote
escholl Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 If you have a listen on his [url="http://www.myspace.com/arambedrosian"]myspace[/url], i think you'll find the tracks are much better quality/sounding Quote
