WPW Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I recently tried to find notation or tab for the bassline of Slide Eazy by Bootsy Collins. I only got two hits from Google on YouTube. One is by a guy who seemed to have it nailed down, the other is from very talented young woman representing a major musical retailer and distributor, but from her demo has both the wrong positioning and notation. For the record, both vids have the name wrong! (It’s “SLIDE EAZY” (not Easy Slide or Slide Easy!!!) I left a comment for the latter, which was constructive, polite, respectful and appreciative. It was removed straightaway. However, given my observation was solely about bass playing alone, I was saddened to see comments allowed to be left included; ‘the expression on the bass player's face’, or, the fact she’s wearing silver spangled leggings etc., etc! Has anyone else found themselves censored online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killed_by_Death Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 My opinions are strong & apparently offensive, so a resounding YES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilebodgers Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I never post on YouTube. The comment sections are a toxic hell-hole on there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else found themselves censored online? Not majorly ( I don't count on Basschat) but it's on my bucket list. Can you make some suggestions for me please?

Bolo Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 In Thomanns defence (or the contrary) the errors in the name of the song and shift in key or position could very well be down to copyright. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Panzer Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I usually watch vids when I see that particular "talented young woman", not just ones from the retailer I'll add, I like seeing bass players who are into their groove and the act of playing which she is, hence the expression on her face I imagine. Having read the comments after watching said vids I can see why that retailer might want to go scrub chat, there's a lot of instant hate and thirst for her which is sad. Not saying your comment was worthy of scrubbing, just that I can see why they might rubber stamp a bunch of deletes for her vids specifically. As for being censored online, yeah it happens and that's what alt accounts are for. I'd much rather "stinky poo post" freely in my own name as I'm a disagreeable type and would shrug off any heat but the tech overlords and algorithms aren't into free speech. edit: just got censored posting this, I do not use language like "stinky poo post", my phrase was more colourful. Algorithmic filtering strikes again but I'm on their platform. Edited March 7, 2021 by Saul Panzer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetera Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I sometimes remove people's posts on my youtube because.....guess what? Yep, it's MY channel.... If you post something rude, dismissive or just downright wrong because you haven't bothered to read my description under the video then 'see ya'....! I don't really think of it as censoring though. More 'removing disinformation'.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPW Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 What if a comment is polite, utterly undismissive or just downright right because you have bothered to read the description under the video!

Stub Mandrel Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 We must stamp out the scourge of music being played in the wrong position. I even came across someone who played a fingerstyle piece with a plectrum. Naturally, I passed the details on to the appropriate authorities.

Not sure what you mean, do you mean she plays it on a different part of the neck to bootsy , I thought the vid wasn't really a proper accurate transcription vid but an overview of bootsys approach and thought it put that across well Edited March 13, 2021 by spencer.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on them both! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
