Michael Cheney Though I used to enjoy Jameson, flawed man = alcoholic, and the Ampeg B15 plexi flip top bass amp, it was woofy. Today’s modern bass amps have a treble horn which gives much more definition. Also many features like line out, head phone jack, built in tuner. Though Nathan East has some humility, which Our Lord loves, Nathan is wonderful. It is nice to pay tribute to Trail Blazers who went before us, but the instrument has progressed a lot since Motown. Nathan is one of the best, let us enjoy his music and happy vibe.
So joyously skillful. And he tried really hard to get the crowd into what he is doing, but they meekly listen. He deserves more reaction during the song!
He sings, plays bass, speaks fluent Russian, and is a cold-blooded killing machine. And he does DIY. What's not to like? Killed a Russian mafioso after this clip with just his bare hands and his fat B string. Blyat!
Ive never in my life heard something that had wow moments for literally everyone, at any and all levels of musical understanding. This is a Wired "explain music in all levels at once" video.
I havent really seen him slap anywhere...is he even gd in that technique?? I mean i know we r talking abt nathan east...but honestly i hv not see him slap...
@@whatup917 I don’t think it’s necessarily obnoxious, it’s has its place in funk and other genres, but it is annoying how people will constantly be like “sLaP tHe BaSs”
He is a world class , world famous bass player... His style is amazing. Total respect. Known well among musicians across the industry.. Funny. The audience has no idea who he is.
Virtuoso playing that is always supportive, never about itself. That is the pinnacle of musicianship, and explains why Mr East is one the most successful bassists of all time. What musician wouldn't want Nathan in their band?
@@musiclove4887 That’s probably a plus. Every bassist nowadays plays slap bass, he doesn’t need the technique to make up for a lack of skill cuz he got that.
I had the pleasure to meet Nathan when he was in singapore with Eric Clapton's band , brought him to the yamaha show room where he signed his autograph for me , wonderful and humble fellow !!
KNOWLEDGE SKILL SOUL FACILITATION ARTICULATION NATHAN EAST CAN PLAY I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED HIS APPROACH TO HIS MUSIC SO MUCH TO APPRECIATE CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042
Some thirty people watching him live without realizing the honor it is to see him live and almost one million eight hundred thousand that at least we have taken advantage of the moment of seeing him on TH-cam!
I just love the look of Russel Gray's face in the background. Most people at NAMM have a sense for music, I'm sure, but Russel knows talent when he sees it and wouldn't have the taste to hide it.
@@petersenior8735 LOL! Victor is my bass mentor LOL he don't know it lol. but l Agree with you they both are great bass players .thanks for your comment.
Look at his face - here's a man who really loves making music.
I noticed that too. He is always smiling. If he ever stopped smiling nobody would ever recognize him.
alan sturgess i dont smile and play but i love music too.i make guitar faces!
For sure
alan sturgess happy for a while..When lonely the problem appears again..
also, plastic surgery
Love Nathan. He's always smiling when he plays. Such a talent.
He doesn't overplay. I like him
Does overplaying mean showing off or just playing more notes than necessary?
@@N7Sound both especially more notes that are unnecessary
To add, it’s when you play too many notes but don’t have any musical justification for those notes, nor the musicality to make those notes sound good.
Pete necessary to what? It’s either good or it isn’t.
The man is playing the melody
He made it look so easy. Nathan East is a living legend.
There are bass players and then there is Nathan East. Simply wonderful.
I told Nathan once that I owed him a check for all the chops I stole from him. He said, "Send it to James Jamerson"!
That's awesome! Nathan is truly one of the most humble people in this world.
GOAT!!!!

cool reply
James Jamerson is the man! Surely changed how it was done!
He’s forever smiling happy while playing. Now that’s a man who loves what he does.
So joyously skillful. And he tried really hard to get the crowd into what he is doing, but they meekly listen. He deserves more reaction during the song!
Agree
Would you like them to rip their clothes off, throw their panties at him in the middle of an expo?
I always love Nate’s playing. Thats how you play music. True legend.
Never seen someone so happy playing a bass, and doing it tastefully well btw
Check Ellen Alaverdian, she's 9 or 10 now ))) She's a bassist.
He is simply one of the best bass players ever!!
Real pro right there. Top of the bass player food chain.
He eats prog metal bassists for breakfast, and jazz cats for dinner.
I agree, I believe Nathan East and Victor Wooten are the best bass players.
@@dustinmcfarland2441 Yeah, Victor is my man
MSH68 les claypool is better
@@dustinmcfarland2441 yeah it's close between those two
Oh my God! That was fantastic! He barely looks at his fretboard & so much feel! Nathan East is incredible man just incredible.. 👌
Great work, I love how he helped the girl in Equalizer,😉
He sings, plays bass, speaks fluent Russian, and is a cold-blooded killing machine. And he does DIY. What's not to like? Killed a Russian mafioso after this clip with just his bare hands and his fat B string. Blyat!
Yeah I didn’t know Denzel played bass so well! 😉😉
Dudes a beast. Plus he plays with anyone anywhere. Versatile player.
But slap bass ??
The Joy of playing is what I like about him... You can see he loves what he's doing... Phenomenal player!
It just flows and grooves so naturally.
One of my favorite musician's of all time. Nathan is a living legend.
Ive never in my life heard something that had wow moments for literally everyone, at any and all levels of musical understanding. This is a Wired "explain music in all levels at once" video.
You know he is good when he didn't need to "slap uncontrollably" to impress the audience.

Slapping is so obnoxious and overrated.
Oel Dave true, but slapping is fun 😂😂
I havent really seen him slap anywhere...is he even gd in that technique?? I mean i know we r talking abt nathan east...but honestly i hv not see him slap...

Four modulations on the breakdown. That was sweet.
Yes, fantastic arranging and playing.
It’s from his album “Nathan East” which is definitely worth listening to. Watch the movie about the making of the album. The interviews are great.
Mike Patton I counted 3, listened again and 💥 it‘s 4!

So damned talented. I love watching him play with Clapton at the Crossroads Festival
Very cool! He is killing it...he is having so much fun!
Nathan BEAST!
Virtuoso playing that is always supportive, never about itself. That is the pinnacle of musicianship, and explains why Mr East is one the most successful bassists of all time. What musician wouldn't want Nathan in their band?
There's so much joy in Stevie's music:)
This is a great showcase of his virtuosity!
This guy is fucking amazing!!! True talent and showmanship...
When the feeling kicks in, he starts to sing, that's awesome!
A world class musician. Great video . Thanks.
Really enjoy his music..
Nathan East is a top 5 bass player. No question.
This guy is good
don't forget Nathan Watts who has been Stevie's bassist since his classic period and played this originally.
But i hv not seen him play slap technique...
@@musiclove4887 That’s probably a plus. Every bassist nowadays plays slap bass, he doesn’t need the technique to make up for a lack of skill cuz he got that.
Wow Nathan looking great, sounding great. Thank you.
One of the very best and such a great bloke. Love him.
Toca com tranqüilidade sou fã desse mestre 👏👏👏👏
Crazy when he plays the big jazz riff and doesn’t even look. I love his joy when playing! Brilliant.
Increíble Nathan.... gracias por tanta música mágica!!...desde Argentina!..🇦🇷
I had the pleasure to meet Nathan when he was in singapore with Eric Clapton's band , brought him to the yamaha show room where he signed his autograph for me , wonderful and humble fellow !!
Wow. That was unexpected. Clicked on this randomly ... and now I'm watching the most talented bass player I've seen. Awesome job!

I love that modulation at 0:08
Andre Osorio yeah i was like wtf awesome reharm
Eeee!!!! This took me by surprise. Just amazing 🫡🫡🫡
Absolutely Brilliant!
I just love the look of Russel Gray's face in the background. Most people at NAMM have a sense for music, I'm sure, but Russel knows talent when he sees it and wouldn't have the taste to hide it.
Nathan is playing LEAD on BASS. Incredible!
Stu Hamm was another exponent of this approach.
Awesome. Thank you Mr. East.
Legend...FourPlay....Studio Musician....and hundred's of Star's writer, Producer, ETC
There should be a Stevie Wonder Con. A place where new music gear gets tested against his all time classics.
Patmosentertainment the only song allowed at the convention is Sir Duke

the arrangements and the backing track are incredible. 2:36
Indeed, I keep coming back just for the instrumental part.
A pleasure to listen too.
I love that his music makes people happy :)
Don't ya just hate crowds? "sing with me"......... Flatline!
Who knows "Sir Duke" nowadays?
@@witkocaster most of them are old enough to know! at least the dang chorus
OMG I'm horrified, how can you not know that?! Fair enough the kids, but the older crew there? Wow.
witkocaster Almost everyone there would know it!
Esse é uma fera no baixo, muito conhecimento de escalas e naturalmente o braço do instrumento sem contar com sua agilidade, parabéns és fera mesmo.
Nathan is a great bass player! He played with Eric Clapton’s band for years.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
and michael jackson too... and in recent years with TOTO
I saw Clapton over 20 years ago and noticed Nathan's playing then.
And Joe Satriani, as well.
Natan is from Fourplay.
His bassline on Bad Love is supreme
Nathan is easily one of the greatest bassists / musicians ever! Wow!
Nathan, one le my bass player heroes.!!
