I've been following Mononeon for a while. All I have to say is that this cats my favorite bass player right now. Focuses on the groove and manages to be insanely creative at the same time. Too many bass players can do all the flashy stuff but suck at actually playing bass. Mono neon holds it down while being progressive and visionary. Seriously betting my money that he's going to blow up.
THANK YOU! Be a bass player FIRST and then add in embellishments as appropriate. I think Mononeon does this perfectly. The groove so deep in the pocket it's grabbing my....yeah....
So Isaid You’re right! I just took my socks off, stuffed them under the bridge and bingo! I instantly became deep in the pocket and incredibly innovative!!! Thanks for the tip!!!
I saw Dangelo play this. @ Hollywood house of blues. Women were dropping like flies, one next to me was talking to her gf and her eyes rolled back and fainted. Pino played so viciously the floor and building vibrated!!!! I’ve seen Parliament, James Brown and Prince many times but NOBODY made the building shake!!
(...who were the (8) viewers who didn't appreciate this remarkably talented young man????) God bless young man! May God continue to bless and keep you! In the name of Jesus!!!!
csharpbnatural They turned their screens around so the bass would be right side up, then they were blown away by his playing and clicked the wrong button :0
Who in the entire ridiculous, freak of nature bass playing, sick groove having hell is this PERSON?!?! And why haven’t I ever heard of him?!?! Damn, I can’t stop making the stank face! Can you say SUBSCRIBED!
One of the most expressive bass player I ever heard Sound so fresh, experimental and professional.. Is really more than a intellectuel on his dear bass, he always get the groove out of the ish he wanna slap
“Groove” has a new name, and that name is Mononeon. Interesting that he plays it upside down too, I’ve known a few people to play the opposite handed instrument that way, but normally with the stringing reversed. Not Mono, he’s gone full base over apex, lol
What was Jaco playing Third Stone to you? Or Stanley Clarke's School Days? For that matter, when Paul Chambers or Scott LaFaro took solos, were they "playing like saxophones" and should have stayed in their lane...?
@@pectenmaximus231 Jaco had a unique playing style, kept to the bass well. He wasn't playing it like the guitar in every song. Go get some guitar strings on your bass if it makes you happy.

Spencer Andrews damn we think alike totally agree
Could not have said it better.

He has a sock muting all his noise/mistakes. Everybody can play bass like that

This contractor can play
I didn't think a Pino bassline could be improved on....but he has done it. Very nice job. I'm gone have to pickup some of them licks.
🔥🤦🏾♂️💪🏾
Pinomononeonpaladino
This is good for a nice little showoff, but it wouldnt work on the actual show or the album. Takes too much attention away from the song.
Hangin' w/ Pino Pallidino is no joke. DON"T STOP.
2022 and still rocking this combo! Both are just the baddest brothas on the planet.
Man is a vault of licks. Does not repeat a single one.

I was there too-- perhaps the best show I've ever seen in my life
God damn man, the talent just bleeds from your fingertips, man. never stop playing~
+Shane Caswell WORD
Shane Caswell the endless hours bled his finger tips.
So much musicality and unique character in his playing. The groove is off the scale. Nearly broke my neck swinging along. Bravo.
Me to
I Cracked my neck BRO
You're my favorite bass player. This shit makes me yell out loud. fuuuuuuuuuuucck.
Definitely one of three musicians on TH-cam that I watch consistently. I Always get inspired from all mononeon's vids.
Saw the customized bass in the thumbnail and knew it would groove
Some of the dopest bass playing I've heard in a while
Oh yeh! Great syncopation and clean!
01:16 this was one of the nicest and smoothest playing I ever heard
Such a subtle and gentle lick
Mononeon's bass strumming brings back memories I never had before. Superb handling of that upside down instrument. Hands down brotha!!!
it's fucking ridiculous how good the bass playing is here, god damn
(...who were the (8) viewers who didn't appreciate this remarkably talented young man????) God bless young man! May God continue to bless and keep you! In the name of Jesus!!!!

Mann this guy nails it! Its gonna take me awhile to get this one. Well done.
Finally a bassist that plays actual bass lines and groove. People playing the bass like it was the guitar these days.
