markdavid Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 is this guy serious? I hate to be a hater but this guy claims to be a professional [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_azVGllTMW8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_azVGllTMW8[/url] Quote
The Funk Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Before watching the clip I was going to say something stupid like "stop getting worked up about stupid youtube videos" - but that clip really is stupid. I can't identify what the guy is pretending to teach us about hip hop bass playing. Quote
Bass_In_Yer_Face Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Man that made me laugh.....i could do that withing 10 seconds of picking up a bass! Quote
Machines Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 WTF indeed ! He just did a slide and thinks he can play a different style of music ?! Quote
Mike Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Dear oh dear. Guitar player's not much better! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amw4Kegu4b0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amw4Kegu4b0[/url] Quote

Soulfinger Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Well, what would you expect from an "Expert Village" video? Famous for their ultimate "String Stretching" exercise: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k7igz-Pmkw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k7igz-Pmkw[/url] Quote
woodenshirt Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Fantastic stuff! That string stretching thing is pure PORN....... filthy....... dirty boy!!!!!!! Thank you guys and thank you Expert Village.... you have made my day so much better! Mart Quote
theosd Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 It's the self-satisfied look he gives the camera at the end that is almost spookily wrong... Quote

I sat in front of my laptop, mouth agape, thinking "is this guy serious"? To boot, isn't that exactly what the likes of DR say exactly what NOT to do with their strings? Quote
bassbloke Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Expert Village is wicked. Things are definitely funniest when comedy isn't intended. Quote
The Funk Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) I wonder if Expert Village get slated a lot online. EDIT: [url="http://forums.abrsm.org/index.php?act=ST&f=16&t=26309&hl=&"]This is what they think elsewhere.[/url] Edited October 11, 2007 by The Funk Quote

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I'm going to put a pair of my dad's old pants on my head and stretch some strings right now - it looks like fun. Quote

I've only been playing bass for 4 years now, but I know that you NEVER stress a string like that. I'm not letting that guy anywhere near my Squier, let alone my Fender. Quote
