Thanks Robyn! I love this song too. I was so inspired by it I actually recorded this video as soon as I got home after hearing Black Messiah for the first time.
Thanks a lot! Btw if you like to join my email list please shoot me your email address and I'll send you 3 songs. You'll also be among the first to know about future vids. Thanks!
Hey Carl sorry for the delayed reply. Just wanted to reach out and say thanks for subscribing, resharing and commenting on my videos. I really appreciate that bro. Glad you like this joint. Another Life is probably my favorite song on Black Messiah.
Perfection. I see no need to correct. The way it came from soul is suppose to marry with the rifts as such. This was just as amazing to listen to , as it was to watch. Pure ridiculousness and skill . Thank you for sharing. Much learned in such little time!
John Blaze Thanks for checking out the video and commenting! Sorry for the delay in replying. I've been away from youtube for a little while so I could work on my website. www.brandonmeeksmusic.com
Top notch bro!!! Very smooth, soulful, & inspirational not to mention beautiful. Continue to bless us with these jewels, we need it these times. Thanks Brother 👊 (they need a black fist emoji)!
Thanks man. Glad you dig it. Have you seen my latest video? If not please check it out. It's from a recent show I played with Zo! and Carmen Rodgers. th-cam.com/video/47q3PCfxl1g/w-d-xo.html
SpaceDisco1 Hey thanks a lot! I also saw that you subscribed to my channel. I really appreciate that. I'd love to have you be a part of my email list too. I'll give you some free music for signing up plus you'll be among the first to know whenever I have new music or videos online. You can sign up at my website or just shoot me a message with your email address. Thanks again. www.brandonmeeksmusic.com/join-list
Just did it and man I'm impressed! I guess my theory that people that do listen to good music, tend to make good music, has proven to be correct. I guess you could use a bit more mastering magic, but that's the only valid criticism I can come up with. Great job and keep it coming! You just earned yourself a fan from switzerland.
SpaceDisco1 Hey thanks a lot for signing up. Glad you like what you've heard so far man! That's pretty cool that you're all the way in Switzerland too. God bless the Internet. lol!
Thanks a lot! Yes this was improvised. I kinda listened to it a few times and just went for it after noodling around a little. The song is so well written it really plays itself. D'Angelo is a bad dude. I'm glad you like my version of it man!
Hey Meeks...I think you nailed this one bruh. You would give Pino a run for his money for real. Im picking up bass right now but i play keys and drums. You got any ideas of how learning the notes on the fret board can be easier?
Thanks for the positive comments! As far as learning the notes on the fret board, try identifying all the octaves of each note. That helped me a lot when I was learning.
Hey thanks a lot Leroy! Glad you like the video. I learned it by ear. I think I might've noodled around with it for about 15-20 minutes and then recorded it.
I have no problem with that man. But of course I have no rights to the actual music. If you need me to send you the audio just let me know. Btw what kind of video are you working on?
Brandon Meeks That would be dope, my email is bashholt@gmail.com. It an intro to a wedding....really non traditional. The groovy you gave it made it pretty gangster tho bro. Yo remind me of Adam Blackstone...you do it from the heart!!
first of all it sounds amazing haha the only thing i didn't like about it was that it got pretty heavy-handed at times. like, there were a few spots that you could have left OPEN and didn't try to fill in with notes. other times you arpeggiated when you could easily SLID on the bass, and it would have been smoother. besides that i liked it a lot, i got the ugly face a few times too lol
Hey thanks for watching! To answer your question, I drag the original MP3 of the song into my DAW and use an audio interface to record my bass over the original MP3 while simultaneously recording video. After that I drag the new audio recording into my video editing software and sync the audio and video together. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions.
I'll try to let you guys know over the weekend. Thanks!

Hey Brandon, as mentioned on my other video, I really love your work here. I was wondering, could you tell me what are the settings on your bass (Fender Jazz Bass I presume? everything knob opened to the max?) Cheers :-)
rémi kerhoas Sure! I'm playing a Fender Jazz Bass. I have the neck pickup all the way on with a little bit of bridge pickup. I think I might've had the tone knob about half way up. I recorded the bass into Ableton and nudged my low end at 94hz to about 3.5 db. I left everything else flat. Thanks I'm glad you like the video. I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of camera you're using in your videos and how you got the shot that sort of pans across while you're playing.

Ok Thanks for your feed-back :-) video wise, I'm using a GoPro Hero 3 as my main camera and a regular small $100-worth camera for the second point of view. Then I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the video files and I'm using the software to "slide" the camera from left to right for example. Hope that makes sense?
That's very helpful. I'm trying to improve the quality of my videos but this is still pretty new to me. So far I've just been using the FaceTime camera on my MacBook, an iPhone and iMovie.

That's already pretty damn good! try looking for Mart Goossens on TH-cam... He's definitely the best example you can follow in terms of video production!
Brandon Meeks Dude!!! .. That Was Tight !! I Like That J. Dilla Slurred Pocket Funk That Pino Plays On Bass .. It's Like A Split Second Behind But Always Lands On The One Like Bootsy .. Thanks For Sharing Your Demo On This Great Song ..
Hey Eli thanks a lot for watching the video. I have several more on my channel and I upload new videos every Monday. I'd love to have you subscribe bro.
I’m 9 years late but I see you B! Handle that thing…
I didn't think that song could get any better and here you are killing the bass on it.
Thank you! Please check out some of the other videos on my channel too!
I still come back!
Hell to the damn.
Yep. You got it, homie.
Love your cover of Another Life. That's by far my favorite off of D'Angelo's latest cd!
Thanks Robyn! I love this song too. I was so inspired by it I actually recorded this video as soon as I got home after hearing Black Messiah for the first time.
Smooth 😭😭❤#only see this now

Were you improvising??? DOPE!!! The original is Sick, but your Groove is Crazy, I like yours a little better!!!
Thanks a lot! Yes this was improvised. I kinda listened to it a few times and just went for it after noodling around a little. The song is so well written it really plays itself. D'Angelo is a bad dude. I'm glad you like my version of it man!

I want to play with you man !
Thanks! What instrument do you play?
Brandon Meeks
drums, but I live in Brussels ...
Brandon, how did you learn this song? and how long did it take you? Your Playing is Brilliant by the way :)
Hey thanks a lot Leroy! Glad you like the video. I learned it by ear. I think I might've noodled around with it for about 15-20 minutes and then recorded it.
Thank you very much Brandon for your feedback :), what key is the song in by the way?
Love these lines man. Do you use flats or rounds? Really digging the sound
Man Bro I wanna use your version of this song in a video I have to do.....
I have no problem with that man. But of course I have no rights to the actual music. If you need me to send you the audio just let me know. Btw what kind of video are you working on?
Brandon Meeks That would be dope, my email is bashholt@gmail.com. It an intro to a wedding....really non traditional. The groovy you gave it made it pretty gangster tho bro. Yo remind me of Adam Blackstone...you do it from the heart!!
bashholt I just emailed the file to you. Thanks again. Adam Blackstone is a monster! It's humbling to mentioned in the same sentence as that dude.
first of all it sounds amazing haha
the only thing i didn't like about it was that it got pretty heavy-handed at times. like, there were a few spots that you could have left OPEN and didn't try to fill in with notes. other times you arpeggiated when you could easily SLID on the bass, and it would have been smoother. besides that i liked it a lot, i got the ugly face a few times too lol
Great cover!!! I have a question though, how do you get your audio (for the actual music & your bass) so clear like that?
Hey thanks for watching! To answer your question, I drag the original MP3 of the song into my DAW and use an audio interface to record my bass over the original MP3 while simultaneously recording video. After that I drag the new audio recording into my video editing software and sync the audio and video together. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions.
Who disliked this video? 😑 I saw or heard nothing wrong 👍🏼
justice
nice playin man, what the chords on this joint?
I have to go back and check it out again. I didn't really commit it to long term memory. Lol. I'll let you know though.
Brandon Meeks please let us all know!
I'll try to let you guys know over the weekend. Thanks!

How do you tune your bass for this one?
+Sigurdur Runarsson I think I just tuned the bass down by a half step. It was over a year ago so my memory is a little foggy.
Is that a P or a J..?...and did you have to downtune to D..?..great sound...
It's a jazz bass. I think I just had it tuned to Eb. Thanks for watching!
you pertty good you sould play D'Angelofor ever one get D'Angelo new cd
Hey Eli thanks a lot for watching the video. I have several more on my channel and I upload new videos every Monday. I'd love to have you subscribe bro.
Fucking 🔥 🔥 🔥
Tell the truth. . . thats the mononeon version aint it? I play bass as well.
kevin jones I think I made this video before mononeon made his actually.
@@BrandonMeeksMusic aiight. Its hard to NOT be influenced by Mono. But gr8t job any way. . .i love your use of chords on this piece.
James Jameson
wheeew.
Thanks a lot!
You're just beyond ridiculous buddy. Seriously perf.
You better play, black man 😁
Uu you cut out the grooviest part.
You play amazing
+Juan Sánchez thanks man!
Awesome. Maybe ever so slightly overengineered at times... but great nonetheless!
It has great tune smooth but not the smooth jazz more like mix with R&B .I like it though.
Thanks Annabelle! 😀
Brandon Meeks Oh no don't be silly Thank you for showing us your wonderful work. To me the music is my soul my life.. heehee thank you.
Annabelle C Cool! You're welcome!
