The most impressive thing about him is that he knows all of his parts, when to pour it on and when to back off, which, sadly, a lot of cats twice his age don't know how to do.
Unfortunately we live in a world where people don't want to see others go far. So they hate and pass negative vibes unto others and hope to put them down. This boy is 11 playing an instrument beautifully and expressing his what's within his soul. Then there goes someone disliking what he does. Search another song and send your negative vibes else where. God bless this boy and bless him richly
+Ego Tells Yes, a few people disliked it. If you choose to focus on that, I understand. I'll take the almost 100 times the number that liked it, and the vast majority of comments that say they loved it. Be well.
Swift Jay not all of us as. Music make me feel alive gets me going lts a real expression of hard work and love of life. I want to see what's left of the great bands and teach these kids how to stay off drugs and get good contracts and play for us man.
Great job..I am a 50 yr. old black lead guitarist and note to the wise "it doesn't matter race or religion when you love what you do and can do it well then I say go for it" reach for the farthest star!!
The sophistication and maturity of that young man's playing goes way beyond his 11 years. A prodigy? A well disciplined and gifted person with focus? Probably both and more. I was amazed and humbled by this performance. His future is secure musically.
Sorry, David. There is no such thing as "Naturals" or "born to play music(ians)." That kid is good because he had a great family that supported him. He's good because he put in hours of practice. He is a product of his environment, not genetics. I understand your comments positive intent, but it diminishes the kids efforts.
Jon Visser I never said that he didn't put a lot of time and effort in, he most definitely has!But I disagree with you. To be that good at that young of an age, you have to have some natural ability to play music! You can't just pick an instrument up and expect to be that good! It doesn't matter how many hours you poor into it, some people just have it, and the majority of musicians don't. That's what separates the virtuoso's from the mediocre.
David You can't pick up ANY instrument and hit it right away. BUT you CAN work at it. I do some keys, voice and drums. I'm told drums is my most natural instrument by a guy playing drums 50 years. But I've STILL had to play 10 years, tho! Didn't just wake up and be halfway decent, lol. I'm not bad at keyboards. They're still percussive instruments to my mind, tho. And I like whacking on things.
Getting past the slap gymnastics, there's some beautiful playing here. Inspirational stuff. Most importantly - great to see a young talent like this actually out there with a band, and not posting shredding videos from his bedroom.
Not merely a soloist- also plays with the drums and holds it down. Very talented player. The chord work and solo at around 1: 50 is especially well done.
Yall may not understand this but this young man is thumping and running cords that a whole lot of bass players can't do. As a drummer. This young man is Awesome 👌 👏 😎
Hey!...I'm a Bass player,..and this kid just stands on his own! He took the time out in his still young life to "Master" an instrument,...that's just great for this new gen of musicians to carry on in the future. It's more than most kids ever do,.. less get away from their computers iun which they do everything in their lives with. He doesn't need to be "compared" to Marcus Miller...whom has got his,..now this kid will go & get his! Wishing him all the best in his musical future!...Big Props to you kid!..go on to make beautiful music and just disavow the haters!! ('- ' )/
This kid has got some GROOVE in his shoes. Wow. Incredible that he can even comprehend such incredible pockets and phrasing at such a young age. Very Impressive.
To all the haters take a hike! this 11 yr old kid leaves more talent in the toilet than most of you can spew out of your mouths on this video. He has more control and expression in those fingers than most and I being a musician since I was eleven can relate to this. I would love to play on stage with this kid any day.
so Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorious and Marcus Miller somehow had a love child....not sure how they did it, but that is the only logical answer. This young fella is a better player then many grown men I've had to work with live.
Why the only place we can find such talent on you tube instead of national television, this is something worth seeing and talking about our kid doing something positive and well at it.
I have a theory. Hear me out! I believe he is from the future. Hear me out hear me out! He is an 80 year old bass master that traveled back in time into his 11 year old body to relive his glory and blow some minds while he is at it.
bon chana Well, that came out of left field. Asians certainly do not have a corner on mastery of instruments. If you call "mastery" technical proficiency, yes, a lot of Asian kids are tiger parented to a high level of a certain sterile technical proficiency. But they're not musicians. No reason an Asian kid can't be a great musician, of course, but the diligent drill of mechanics doesn't make you one.
You know….the kid is obviously brilliant but the other members of the band are pretty darn good especially the dude on keys. All of cats are really talented!
This young man is a true prodigy. He understands tone, dynamics, phrasing, etc. He has the whole package and he's 11 years old !!! OMG !!! I'm gonna keep a look out for this bass player !!
Man all you nay sayers are full of crap. He is 11 yo, of course he is going to incorporate licks of his idols and influences into his current plying. He is still learning; not how to play the bass because he can do that, but how to learn to be him. That takes years. Including the styles of his idols and then figuring out what he likes and what he feels, intertwining that with what he has learnt will help him develop his own signature. So shut the hell up, enjoy the music and celebrate that an 11yo can play so good with passion and feel, and then follow his career and watch him become the Tony Royster Jnr of the bass.
More like the Jaco Pastorius!!!!!!! This kid is such a natural musician, and as long as he loves music more than his ego, he could do amazing things for the instrument and himself...
+andre ghouse I'm already hearing his own distinct voice, a certain natural sensitivity in his note choices and his combination of slap and soft elegance, his approach to timing which seems to be quite distinct.
Talent is only as good as the passion behind it, you've got it! Very cool, you don't have to follow in anyone's foot steps . . . you'll be making your own, and others will be following yours! Proud of you young man, keep it going! Also, a great group!
HOLY SHTTT!!!! do people just go around disliking things cause theyre trolling, because have no idea y they would dislike this. Once the vid started i was just amazed this is insane. Gj kid.
It requires a soul to be moved by such a video. There are people so hateful they spread it everywhere they go everything they touch without looking or caring. It's humanity.
His name is "PIPOQUINHA"... From Brazil (i think he is from Fortaleza City)... This is an old video... He's still a great musician... Look for PIPOQUINHA BASS in youtube.
My son is interested in playing the bass, so he asked me to check this out. I played the bass for a while and had some fun. Never to this 11 year old's level. Like other comments it is hard to describe this kid's level and what he'll be some day. He may never make it big due to the politics in everything, but he'll enjoys coming home from a hard day, and playing his bass. To take the world off his shoulders for a moment. God Bless him. I'd buy his CD right now.
Love the 6 string bass! I just got one myself but hes got me beat by miles. Well actually he's 21 now so he's so far away he's getting closer. Drum players pretty good too.
Just Truth Even its just like "oh, ANOTHER jazz fusion band... How many are you in now, 3 or 4?" Literally, at my old music school they had 5 jazz fusion bands play every open mic with the same 10 players in different configurations. Straight up elevator music
I could see a dislike coming from this idea. The most important member group is the song. It's more about soloing than the song and so it doesn't really fit. This is me playing deveils advocate. His talent is amazing, and that's awesome.
I’d say watch out for this young talent, all smiles, not-even looking at the fret board - at his age the neurons are pinging around like a pinball machine ⭐️
Mae MaeMae he's a KID. It's WAY more work for adults. Plus, they're insanely self-conscious where kids aren't. That's the slick feel attributed to "being black."
shadow0106 Who's the best drummer who ever lived? It's always up between Bonham and Buddy Rich, usually. But who's the best KNOWN and BEST PAID? Friggin' Ringo. So THERE. Not the most complicated, but a very nice feel, particularly on the right hand. So, there's hope for YOU, too.
OHH - EMM - GEE! He's throwin' down on that 6- Stringer like nobody's business! That Bass is as big as he is - - but the SOUND is bigger than the both of them. GREAT freakin' job Young Man!
There are no words sufficient to describe this kind of talent-timing-creativity-musical ear-heft-chops at 11. None. I just wasted your time trying to verbalize it.
I tried to play bass once. Notes have to be played boldly. If you hit a bad note, the whole world will hear it. That's why this wus switched to guitar (-:
This is the type of talent that just can't be beat. Absolutely STUNNING! By the way, what is also stupefying is that anyone could have the type of sick jealousy that makes them click on 'dislike' - even one of those is too much, and there are 134 as I write this. Unbelievable!
This video gives me hope that our youth can do more with their fingers than just use their thumbs on a smart phone. What a young prodigy on the bass. A six string no less, very inspiring!
This is not just a talent.... to reach this you need kilo-tonnes of hours of hard scales / technique practice.... such great bass player at such early age....:)
amazing talent from amazing young boy. I am still dreaming of learning to pull one guitar string at my adult age but still fails to make one acceptable melody. amazing young boy :big up to u.
What does "BLACK" have to do with it? What are you trying to say of intelligence and rellivance? A gift has no color. It just IS, sir. Racism is when one has a first thought to categorize by color rather than it being about the person. Unless its for identification or something, its just plane ignorant and at the highest level, an inhumane system that according to human rights, quite illegal as far as I'm concerned.
Sir, you completely missed a South Park reference. A reference everyone else picked up on based on the three days of silence after you comment on a video viewed almost 3 million times. While you were off ranting, everyone else was laughing. You only made your own day worse.
The sax player is just standing there like, "what the funk? I've been playing for twenty years, and this kid hasn't even been alive for half of it." And honestly, I could do without the sax. Just give me the three of them. I could listen all day.
I salute this jazz funk prodigy. In the years ahead, we will be hearing from this musician as he develops his own unique voice. The human brain does amaze! The human soul does take us to new levels.
U can only Imagine How Well he is playing aswell As Matured As A Person.....:)! He keeps on playing like that With some more Professional expieriance......this Young Bro....will B a blessing & touching Folks Soul with his style of playing:)! I say No-one should hate,however Congratulate,& pray this Kid Don't have to do no battling with The Old"Druggy" B.S.. HAPPY NEW YEARS ALL!

Amen to that !
The most impressive thing about him is that he knows all of his parts, when to pour it on and when to back off, which, sadly, a lot of cats twice his age don't know how to do.

Very well said. May God bless you too
That kid is killing that bass! Other musicians are awesome too! Bravo!
Why isn’t it my favorite online music teacher
this kid doesn't even know how good he is. he's just chillin. that's what's up
OH HE KNOWS!!!!!
Thank God for these grown and experienced musicians for nurturing this youngster as he defies belief with his exceptional talent.
11 years old, and playing a 6 string bass, no less. fabulous. Must have emerged from the womb playing that thing.
He's probably got a left handed upside down fretless he plays for fun.
Great job..I am a 50 yr. old black lead guitarist and note to the wise "it doesn't matter race or religion when you love what you do and can do it well then I say go for it" reach for the farthest star!!
Never gets old. The kid is obviously all grown up now, but this is an amazing moment in time captured. 🍺😎👍
Wow!!! This kid's technique is flawless. His feel for the groove is on point, and you can tell he's got the soul to back it all up. Great job dude!!
the kid draws attention, but the whole band is amazing, it has to be said
And they're so musical... this is tasty
Hats off to whomever put a bass in this kid's hands the first time.
For real hats off I bet he took to it a fish to water
This kid will go far. He plays jazz way beyond his years! You can tell how much he loves it
Would love to hear him today....10 years later.. Amen🙏😎🎸
His name is Michael Pipoquinha...check him out, he is a beast, on the bass.
HALLA OUT WHERE YOU IS NOW IN 2021.
That opening solo alone was jaw dropping! This kid was insanely good at an age when I didn't even know what a bass was. Well done!
The sophistication and maturity of that young man's playing goes way beyond his 11 years. A prodigy? A well disciplined and gifted person with focus? Probably both and more. I was amazed and humbled by this performance. His future is secure musically.
Way beyond his years those changes
Some kids are naturals, and are just born to play music!!! The force is strong with this one!!!

YOU FORGOT THE MASTER ... STANLEY CLARK
This video of this young man playing...blows away 90% of all the other bass videos here on TH-cam..
Keep playing kid.....

Good weed u smoking boy
he's just a reincarnated musician that's all!
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
These are called Crystal Kids, or Indigos, or Star Children, and they are now showing up En Masse. God Bless Him!

The drummer in this video has great feel.
Lucas there was a drummer, lol?
Oh yeah pocket
Why would you feel on a dude?
it feels like floating on a nice n smooth popping beans :)

I thought Brazil only produce gifted feet kids to play football
Love the 6 string bass! I just got one myself but hes got me beat by miles. Well actually he's 21 now so he's so far away he's getting closer. Drum players pretty good too.
He's Brazilian. His "name" is Pipoquinha. Here in Brazil we have amazing musicians.
Verifiquei que é um gênio brasileiro mesmo é que já se apresentou em diversos espetáculos pelo Brasil e exterior. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It would certainly appear so! Im speachless! Outstanding! Salude Young Master!
This kid is amazing. Give him a few years for his soul to grow and his bass playing will be phenomenal!
his album just dropped and he's 22 now. it's lua by michael pipoquinha. go buy it.
Michael pipoquinha
Wow thanks
@JABProductions916 This should be pinned
The only reason I've been totally thru the thread is to find this. His name. Thank you.
@@donnimetropolis9899 no problem!
Good to see a kid listening to good music instead of the crap they listen today.
*****
No, it is shot in 2010 and when Michael Pipoquinha was just 14 years old and not 11 as the title speaks.
He is mega talented but smooth jazz is the crappiest of the crap.
Yea, because there aren't good musicians doing good stuff in contemporary generes also. Close minded.
Just Truth Even its just like "oh, ANOTHER jazz fusion band... How many are you in now, 3 or 4?" Literally, at my old music school they had 5 jazz fusion bands play every open mic with the same 10 players in different configurations. Straight up elevator music
I know right
How on earth can this video get dislikes? This world is full of dirt bags.
bigQ. I'm wondering that myself. How can you dislike this - even if it isn't in your musical genre. Oh well...
The BarnMan this stuff is amazing pure greatness
I could see a dislike coming from this idea. The most important member group is the song. It's more about soloing than the song and so it doesn't really fit. This is me playing deveils advocate. His talent is amazing, and that's awesome.
bigQ, they are haters.....
A piece of smooth jazz fluff like this is simply a forum for soloing. That is what jazz is all about.
I’d say watch out for this young talent, all smiles, not-even looking at the fret board - at his age the neurons are pinging around like a pinball machine ⭐️
i now feel useless and will never amount to anything in my life compared to this kid lol
Same here, lol! I quit!
A New Horizon
Been playing bass for two years... I think I will give it up now.
Lol. Don't give up man!
shadow0106 Right on shadow!!
Mae MaeMae he's a KID. It's WAY more work for adults. Plus, they're insanely self-conscious where kids aren't. That's the slick feel attributed to "being black."
shadow0106 Who's the best drummer who ever lived? It's always up between Bonham and Buddy Rich, usually. But who's the best KNOWN and BEST PAID?
Friggin' Ringo. So THERE. Not the most complicated, but a very nice feel, particularly on the right hand. So, there's hope for YOU, too.
Been playing bass on and off for twenty years, but yeah, I think I'm quitting too! :D
Awesome talented kid!
Michael Pipoquinha has been a badass since he in knee highs.
Regardless of age , he is counted as another professional member of the group. Well done!
Lil man crawling all over a 6 string!! GEEZUS!!
This kid inherited the soul of Wayman Tisdale. RIP
I wasn't playing like that at 11 years old. I'd love to hear him in 10 years.
Um, video is from 2010, so you should be able to hear him now...
Look at that beautiful smile. ? You know he happy as hell in that jam session...... YOU ROCK LIL MAN
Youngin is a monster on the bass. He's like a young Marcus Miller. I can see him with a album in the future.
I know ur comment is 6 years old but u guessed right, he does have an album now
At the beginning his slap bass is so fast I had to check to make sure I wasn't watching at 2x speed
he's feelin' it man, he's feelin' it.
OHH - EMM - GEE! He's throwin' down on that 6- Stringer like nobody's business! That Bass is as big as he is - - but the SOUND is bigger than the both of them. GREAT freakin' job Young Man!
That bound sounds GREAT too Bro!
Kid's got that Marcus Miller tone going. Awesome. :D
Nope, doesn't sound anything like marcus miller lol.
DutchPs3Gamers your kiding right
Joey S anyone who says this is clueless about jazz fusion
DutchPs3Gamers I think their bass tone is similar. Technique and experience are another thing. I'm just talking about sound. :)
Freezaen
And I was talking about sound too.
Davie504: pfffft this can't be real

Kid: HELL YEA BABY
Hi
Do you know what genre is the first 50 seconds? (I wanna here more of this)
Yea i am in David504
אלדור פדידה that ´s funk
The kid had that bass slappin. The rest of the band was great as well keep up the great work 👍🏾
Wow this kid is AMAZING!!! This was posted in 2010, so he's about 22 now I wonder if he's still at it.
There are no words sufficient to describe this kind of talent-timing-creativity-musical ear-heft-chops at 11. None. I just wasted your time trying to verbalize it.
that kids got some groove to the MAX!!
This little brotha got skills....Thas wut I like to see,young musicians....
Awesome Talent! God bless you all! He is only 11 yrs. old?
My Goodness! He Totally rocks that Bass Guitar!
imagine where that kid is going to be in 10 years........ in my band of course!!!
Or now, right now! Look for Michael Pipoquinha ;)
he grew already, search for "pipoquinha bass" You will see. :D
Eduardo Guerrero and @Aad Pouw Doing that Now!!!!! cheers :o)
+Chan Torres You wish!
Bass is so much more fun than guitar
True
Itala Lamsberg true word
Damn, he plays it like a lead guitar.
I totally agree. Guitar is for pussies...
I tried to play bass once. Notes have to be played boldly. If you hit a bad note, the whole world will hear it. That's why this wus switched to guitar (-:
This is the type of talent that just can't be beat. Absolutely STUNNING! By the way, what is also stupefying is that anyone could have the type of sick jealousy that makes them click on 'dislike' - even one of those is too much, and there are 134 as I write this. Unbelievable!
This video gives me hope that our youth can do more with their fingers than just use their thumbs on a smart phone. What a young prodigy on the bass. A six string no less, very inspiring!
the guy on the sax like "wtf am I doing here?"
oh really
Man, that is so awesome!
This is not just a talent.... to reach this you need kilo-tonnes of hours of hard scales / technique practice.... such great bass player at such early age....:)
Who ever clicked disliked, obviously doesn't know music. This kid is good man!
Lemme see... 27K likes vs 334 bassists who can't wipe the sweat off this kid's brow 😓 Nice!
372 haters that are so jealous because, try as they might, they just cannot do what this 11 year-old boy is cruisin' thru!!
amazing talent from amazing young boy. I am still dreaming of learning to pull one guitar string at my adult age but still fails to make one acceptable melody. amazing young boy :big up to u.
"Token god damnit how times do I need to say this? You're black, you can play the bass."
hysterical
hahaha you cracked me up XD
What does "BLACK" have to do with it? What are you trying to say of intelligence and rellivance? A gift has no color. It just IS, sir. Racism is when one has a first thought to categorize by color rather than it being about the person. Unless its for identification or something, its just plane ignorant and at the highest level, an inhumane system that according to human rights, quite illegal as far as I'm concerned.
Sir, you completely missed a South Park reference. A reference everyone else picked up on based on the three days of silence after you comment on a video viewed almost 3 million times.
While you were off ranting, everyone else was laughing. You only made your own day worse.
SERIOUSLY?? I was about to post this exact citation lol
I'm glad to see this. It's encouraging to see youngsters who can play like this.
And here im sitting, playing my bass. Feeling like a complete shit bag.
Me, too.
Me too lol
Every little kid with a Fodera can play like Victor Wotten, it's the bass not the player...
Just kidding :P
The sax player is just standing there like, "what the funk? I've been playing for twenty years, and this kid hasn't even been alive for half of it."
And honestly, I could do without the sax. Just give me the three of them. I could listen all day.
I salute this jazz funk prodigy. In the years ahead, we will be hearing from this musician as he develops his own unique voice. The human brain does amaze! The human soul does take us to new levels.
how long this kid been playing. He is beyond his years.
I love the jazz tone the Kid is awesome
