I’m very impressed with how close your overall bass line was to his. Excellent job! This was a very interesting video. I’d like to see more featuring other artists as well.
@@silencedones4421 yeah no one before you ever thought a video could be faked. Is it hard work to be so insightful? And from your mom's basement no less. OR maybe we enjoyed the video and don't think Josh is a fake. You think otherwise; good for you. Keep scrolling. Here's another insight: to the rest of us you are just an A hole.
Dude, in 3 takes you got like 80% of the way there?! I'd be over the moon. It also took major balls to do it live in front of the camera like that. Kudos.
I love Thundercat's looks and personality. He was amazing in Suicidal Tendencies, he has titanium bones in his back (his bass is a boat anchor), and is music goes into the weird side of R&B which makes it easier to get into for outsiders 👏👌
It sounded great. The fact that your baseline had such similarities shows how much experience you have and how good your ear is. And also, hell yes to more thundercat videos!!
You should feel absolutely proud of your bassline. Being able to come up with a sound that was pretty darn close to Thundercat's in such a short time speaks to your flexibility.
I love that pro bassist Josh is playing a Squier for this vid. It's taken me such a long time to realize that price does not equal quality/playability/sound/etc. Since the late 90's, overall instrument quality has improved so much that you can find some really amazing "beginner-to-intermediate" level instruments and still some clunker "pro" instruments. The variability in styles, human physiques, and desired tones so often bridges the gap in areas that affordable instruments are seen as deficient. In fact, just yesterday I picked up a bass I put together from parts back in high school, and was blown away by how much something that has basically zero resale value still rocked so hard. \,,/, TL;DR: Don't impulsively buy that shiny new piece of gear on the internet; wait until you've tried it out with your own hands/ears and compared it to something you already like/own to decide.
That is all true, but (to me) it felt he was struggling to make smooth hand transitions between the low and the high notes (and note: he has great technique and large experience). In this regard, a 6-string bass would be better for if you want to make chops like Thundercat's but not hurt your fretting hand in the long run. (There are some companies that make solid 6-string basses in the same price range as this video's.)
i do enjoy myself watching 10 minutes of a man crying ngl, wouldve been a win either way also thank you for making me listen to bohemian rapsody for the first time, absolute eye opener
You and Thundercat have a big thing in common, y'all both make me want to pick up my bass right now and get to playing. I can't hear anything by Thundercat without immediately wanting to try it, despite knowing he's well out of my league. Y'all are both bass-ed, I love it!
Not a bassist or even learning bass (just a weirdo who loves to see artists work) and happened to find your video - super impressed! I'd love to see more of this kinda thing! ❤️
This is probably the best video I've seen from you, and I've been a fan and subscriber for years. You've definitely helped me as a beginner bassist and I'm now at the point where I'm crafting lines and playing open mics and this is again a helpful example for that mindset. I liked your line and your analysis of it in comparison to Thundercat's. Can't wait to see more videos like this!
Sounded different, felt the same. Awesome video, great format, great seeing a pro be challenged, have doubts, make mistakes; explain the breakthroughs.
This is a really cool video! Seeing a really good bassist like Josh work out a bassline is inspiring - no one has it all worked out on the first try but as a beginner I was so elated to see sometimes everyone just has to fall back on the pentatonics. Plus it helps demystify the process a bit. Looking forward to more.
Gotta say your video is crisp and the editing is fresh but subtle and not overdone, me like! These type of challenges are always fun, but for me it's hard with limited music theory knowledge (I think). So it's good to see someone try this, who knows actually what he is doing! 😅
Actually a pretty good execution, considering the performance stress of the challenge. Personally, the coolest baselines I write always come to me when I'm in the zone, alone, with zero pressure or distraction,and when I don't give a rats ar$ about making mistakes. I just play whatever the hail I want or feel. That's step one for me. Step 2 is I just keep doing this until I fall into THE groove the song tells me it wants,usually by mistake. But I know it when I hear and feel it. Finally, step 3 after I've got the groove dialed, I do Note arrangement and cleanup. figure out which notes don't belong and which do.
I dig it. I have never heard this song or of the Thundercats (thanks for playing this because I now dig them)...however, I felt both versions (yours and his ) were great in their own way. Thanks for posting this. It encourages one to step outside their comfort zone.
Learnin to slap the bass here.... Played drums for almost 30 years, live, bars, fairs, you name it, and the way you layed in your lick there at 3:24 with that little flare of the hand coming off the fretboard, that's what I'm talking about lol.Great job man.. when I saw my bass player do stuff like that I knew we were feeling the groove lol... he would do EXACTLY what you did there then, tiptoein backwards to the beat lmao.... Raw improv is scary especially live and especially the rythem section, but it's the most rewarding thing ever, and imo one of the only things to cause a TRUE bass player stank face and/or head nod lol...
Too cool for school, Josh! I loved watching your creative process as you worked your way through this very funky and complex song. Again, I so appreciate the Beginner to Badass course for getting me into bass playing. Seeing you challenge yourself with something difficult inspires me to keep going!
Love the educational take on this. Love the post listening analysis of what you could learn from the original line to improve your own compositional techniques. Great bassline ideas for having to write/record on the fly.
This is different style of video but I really really like it coz we get to see your brain work and figure things out. In the beginners mind, there is so many little things to pick up/be curious about, you can't imagine how much a person can take away and learn from style.
This is incredibly valuable for those people who are attempting to create an original bass line. 3 times a year is my recommendation. THANKS AGAIN for all you do brother !
Great job on creating your own take of Funny Thing, Josh. You did a fantastic job!!! Insane that this is your first video on Thundercat. That dude inspired me to care about Bass in tracks more than ever before from his talent alone. Keep on rockin' in the Bass world ✌🏼
I dug it! i've never heard of Thunder cat until now, and I'm a fan from this point on lol. I was humming along as you were playing, and we thought of doing a lot of the same things lol. It was pretty cool.
I enjoyed watching this, because coming up with new bass lines has always been really hard for me and this has given me some good ideas about the thought process. A lot of it really is self-doubt on my end though. Well done!
I actually think that your bass line is pretty cool! I was actually impressed how close it was to original. Congratulations! Only on 3 tries looks very impressive to me! 👏🔥
Way to challenge yourself mate. It’s inspiring to me (a beginner/intermediate level player)to see that there is always more to learn, even for the experts. Great video.
I love the concept, it would hit different if we also hear the bass less version at the beginning with you. So we forget what the original bass is and then "discover" it at the end
Please consider making more of these! Id love to watch more but cant find much more Bass specific ones. Difficult to recommend a song but really enjoyed this. Thanks!
I've always been stoked to be learning bass from you in BTB, but this proves to me I picked the right teacher. I'm excited to keep going and hopefully have command of the instrument like this.
I want to add my vote to the multiple people who have stated this Josh. This is a great learning experience in multiple ways. Would love to see you do this with other artists as well.
This was very cool Josh! For me, I always loved the creative process, so you gave us all a glimpse on how that works and your thought process. I have never heard Thundercat before, so this was some new music for me. But I loved how you took a risk and tried this. That in and of itself is a great lesson for your viewers. I would love to see more of these types of videos. Thanks for sharing this one.
Great job Josh! I really like your bassline in addition to Thundercat's. It's cool to see how different minds fill the void and YES, more Thundercat videos!!
I liked your part about as much as his. Pretty amazing nailing his general feel like you did. I’d love to see you do more of this sort of ‘challenge’ thing.
You just displayed why my daughter loves you as her bass teacher. If I get to cover this I'm blending both your lines... amazing more of these types of videos please
You did a very good job, I think you held back a bunch, not wanting to over do it, But that extended Arpediated sound is so ThunderCat, he loves those lines
This was incredible to watch! Well done! To me, it felt a lot like learning a song you've never heard, from your bandmates. It is great for inspiration and creativity.
Awesome work Josh! A year of using your Bad to Badass course and confidently playing some of my favorite tunes. Keep up the good work and keep cranking out the contents!
Great job Joshercat! I like the original better but that's just because it feels more solidified into a core idea - you were doing some different stuff that was cool, and I think with a bit more time you'd have finessed it into something that fits just as well. That's what I like about the Drumeo challenges I've seen, it starts with people basically in the dark but each time around they refine it into something that stands on its own Honestly you could probably make a series like this! It's teaching the improv and writing process, and explaining why you're making the choices you are (the subtitles like "trying this" then "nope don't like it" were great). Throwing yourself in the deep end like this makes it relatable too!
I'm blown away by how close you were in the pattern/phrasing. Big props for having the guts to post this. I bet thundercat would like what you played and I would love to see more content about thundercat. Now if we could see thundercats response, upon seeing this post for the first time! I think he would dig it. (Edit: regarding your question, for the reasons you mentioned I would probably choose thundercat, Though if someone played me both versions without knowing about this challenge, I don't know if I could pick out the original by ear only)
You are getting a follow immediately just for using a squier. My squier jazz is the best bass I’ve ever owned. Someday the snobs will get over themselves 🕺🏻
Honestly, I feel like both interpretations were beautiful. This is what I love/hate about music is that the possibilities are literally endless. Also, this challenge is so much fun to watch!!!
this was a fun and instructive video. really helpful to see your thought process coming up with a bassline and then to hear your explanation of what thundercat did so well. what i liked about your bassline is the way you distinguished parts of the song and then build up the intensity. thanks 🤘
Love it! More videos like this would be awesome to see. I'm just a beginner but looking forward to doing this type of thing in the future and this is great inspiration!
In all fairness Josh, you nailed it pretty dam close too, your choice of effects was spot on! Im not a thundercat fan, but you definitely rocked a pretty good groove!
Outstanding Job Josh! As a beginner bassist who has tried something like this before, it’s inspiring to see you absolutely nail this. I Love your content, keep doing what you’re doing!
This is some f***ng good content! I'm so happy that you tried this Drumeo format. And the thing is I've learned as much (if not more) than your more "educational" videos. Please continue, more of this! BTW, your bassline was good :P Just not 'thundercat' god ;)
That was awesome, loved your take and Thundercats original. I now have something else to add to my 'funky' playlist 😎👍 Would definitely like to hear more about Thundercat and see you do more videos like this. Really interesting to hear your thought process.
Wow! Loved this video, Josh. You always have great playing and a personality that comes off fun and friendly. Wouldn't mind seeing more videos like this of Thundercat or even other artists as well.
This was a such fantastic, educational watch! I love Thundercat and seeing you rise to this challenge offered excellent opportunities for reflection and self-awareness. To echo the top comment: this is why you’re my bass teacher!
I didn't know your channel before this video, but man, DON'T EVER doubt your ears when it comes to creativity. It takes a lot of courage to upload a video like this, and I really enjoyed. Congrats on the result obtained!! you're on right way BassBuzz man 😆
Which bass line did you like better, mine or Thundercat’s? ⚡🐱
I’ve listened to that song so many times it was kind of refreshing to hear the new bassline lol
Man you got really close to it though, not gonna lie…
I'm going to sit on the fence and say I liked both of them 😎
Your play cut through the mix better...both versions were very good.
You should make a series of trying to guess the bass lines of songs you’ve never heard. 👍
You are incredible for creating what you did in 3 tries! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This is why you are my bass teacher! And yes, more Thundercat please!
I’m very impressed with how close your overall bass line was to his. Excellent job!
This was a very interesting video. I’d like to see more featuring other artists as well.
Thanks Dave!
@@BassBuzz WE want to see, correcting my friend there
As a beginner bassist I liked to see u build a bass line on the spot with comments, it is inspiring. And again a great video 👏
The final take sounded great!!! I'm impressed with how quickly you managed to come up with an such an awesome bass line
@@silencedones4421stop being a hater.
@@silencedones4421 yeah no one before you ever thought a video could be faked. Is it hard work to be so insightful? And from your mom's basement no less.

@@michaelhartman6513 "Hater"? You can't deny that what he says could be true, though I personally find it hard to believe
@@silencedones4421 you must just be a bad musician then. it doesn't take ten fucking weeks to come up with a bass line lmfao
@@flatd13tsoda56 this LMAO
Saw Thundercat last summer when he opened for RHCP. He was amazing, and his finger speed is ridiculous.
I went for RHCP but fell in love with Thundercat
@@overseer_grimal where did you see them? I was at the PetCo Park show in San Diego
i saw them in charlotte!! amazing show
That sounds like an amazing show
I saw them in London, thundercat played there too. Was really good
Dude, in 3 takes you got like 80% of the way there?! I'd be over the moon. It also took major balls to do it live in front of the camera like that. Kudos.

That guy has two spinal chords or something lol
I mainly listen to rap and he is amazing, i like most of his music to be honest
It sounded great. The fact that your baseline had such similarities shows how much experience you have and how good your ear is. And also, hell yes to more thundercat videos!!
To be able to put that bassline together that quickly is amazing. You should be doing session work in Nashville or LA.
Yeah, that pedal chain sound would totally fly in Nashville 🙂
Thanks Matthew!
@@foljs5858 Yeah well you didn't understand the comment
@@foljs5858 I think he is a little more versatile than that one pedal chain...

I’m so glad I got ahold of your videos first when I picked up the bass 2 months ago. Thanks so much for this fun content.
Sensei Josh was on POINT! I'm gonna tell everyone that my bass teacher's name is Josher-Cat!
That was really fun! I enjoyed the whole process. Yes more Thundercat. And more bassline creation videos please!

Nice, enjoy!
I love this! And PLEASE talk about Thundercat I've been waiting soooo long to hear you talk about him
100% want more Thundercat videos. He's so awesome
Yours was great as well! Do more of these. I too have been enjoying the drumeo first time vids but this is even BETTER!
You did a fantastic job with your take. Really impressive!
I think you did great! To even come up with an improvisation take that's close to Thundercat's says a lot. That was damn good!
Great format, Thunderjosh 😎
Videos like this takes the masters and grounds them in a way that to make learning easier. Keep it up, these are really cool.

This is a silly detail but I love that you play a squier bass 👌🏼
Give yourself some credit!! Your bass line had a ton of cool ideas too. I personally loved it.
Yes more Thundercat!!! Would absolutely love to see you do a video of him similar to your Les Claypool video
Thank you for the Thundercat video! Impeccable use of improvisation. Both are so good.
Please consider making more of these! Id love to watch more but cant find much more Bass specific ones. Difficult to recommend a song but really enjoyed this. Thanks!
This is a great video concept, it's really insightful to hear how you think about things. Also now I have a new artist to listen to!

Very enlightening. And yes, bass sides are fun. Every song should have one.
I hope you do more of these. Explaining the thinking behind it and how your two lines are different was super interesting and informative.
You did a very good job, I think you held back a bunch, not wanting to over do it, But that extended Arpediated sound is so ThunderCat, he loves those lines

I had much fun watching you!!!! You did very good.
This was a such fantastic, educational watch! I love Thundercat and seeing you rise to this challenge offered excellent opportunities for reflection and self-awareness. To echo the top comment: this is why you’re my bass teacher!
I didn't know your channel before this video, but man, DON'T EVER doubt your ears when it comes to creativity. It takes a lot of courage to upload a video like this, and I really enjoyed.
Congrats on the result obtained!! you're on right way BassBuzz man 😆
Thanks Mijael!
