Let me tell you a story. 10 years ago, i saw this video. I wasn't a musician. I was just a 14 years old tennager, in pre-high school. I find this video so cool that i wanted to play bass guitar. I bought my a 300€ Squier jazz bass and i begin to take lessons, solphege, and practice on very hard jamiroquai, brothers johnson, michael jackson and whatever groovy funk music i liked. Few years later a played for the first time on stage : for my last year of high school. This day , i met my actual girldfriend, because she enjoyed my groove, especialy during the Cosmic Girl song ( :'D ). 7 years later i passed my bachlor of molecular biology with an "Jazz band" option. I was the bassist of the jazz band of my university, with 15 dudes on stage, and i get a 19/20. Now i can play whatever funky music i want, even the hardest slap shits, like the Stomp bass solo. All of this, beacuse of this fucking video. David, thank you for everything.
Bro that is very very well done. Heaps a feel in ya playing and you definatley feelin it too. Keep up the orsum work man. I look forward to seeing more.
Gotta say, it's so much FUN to watch you play... I'm skimming though your vids and each one puts a big grin on my face and makes me want to pick up my bass and try to enjoy myself as much as you. Never lose that joy. Thanks for your kind words a few months back! I'm off to check out some more of your stuff!
david, I wanted to learn acoustic guitar for quite some time now, but your vids got me into thinking of learning bass guitar instead. I thinks this speaks volumes about how I feel about your uploads. Thanks for making our lives better. :)
@Chaton457 Hey merci beaucoup! ça fait plaisir! ^^ Étant donné que j'ai pas un énorme budget pour les cordes (vu que je possède plusieurs basses) j'achète uniquement des Warwick Red Label 45-105. Elles sont pas chères et restent brillantes pour une période plutôt correcte!
yeahhh man! you rocked that Songout!! amazing! thanks for share it with world, and btw I wanna a bass guitar so badly then I saw ytou played that! terrific, stunning *Clapping*
@Qauiable thank you :D yeah haha, that's kinda frustrating! I was a bit tired indeed, I was recording these covers at 10pm.. but I'll always find some hidden energy to play music :P
MAN ! youre great ! i love the way you play this song ! this is my fav jamiroquai song of all time ! btw im a big fan of DEEP KICK! Greetings from mexico!!! SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO!
@Emte19 Well, I'm learning all that stuff! I know the notes on my neck pretty well, I know the easiest scales too (pentatonic and stuff like that) but when I'm improvising it's mostly done by ear, I'm often playing a pentatonic scales and add some notes to change it's "colour" if I can say it like this :)
StingRay powaaah :) !!! Combien t'as coûté ce petit bijou ? Au passage ; tu as le groove et le feeling dans le sang, le son est propre est sans fautes, génial, très bonne cover !!!!
Flashy bass dude! Very nice! You have a %&$in' groove in your hands. Nice job, really impressive! I'll try to posto the Dynamite or Runaway versions as soon my camera is fixed.
Yup! Je suis moi-meme bassiste et grand fan de Jamiroquai (j'ai d'ailleurs eu l'occaz de le voir deux fois cet été^^) et j'adore tes reprises de Jami (et les autres d'ailleurs!) T'assures! Super groove, superbe fluidité, ca cartonne :) Bonne continuation ;)
I have been waiting for some Jamiroquai. amazing cover. would you be able to do a cover of Blow Your Mind by Jamiroquai. I cant figure out the bass line, and i wanna do a multi-track of it using my trumpet too.
every time I think about buy a guitar I stop and come here to see your videos... and, off course, change my mind and decide that in fact I need another bass...
This is fucking awesome. If you are in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area..hit me up....we can start a Jamiraquia cover band! Great job. Awesome feel and chops obviously. Dig those triads...
@Jimirulez27 yo! I think that one of the best bass to start with is the Squier Classic Vibes. You can pick the jazz bass or the precision bass, both are great.
My girlfriend LOVES Cosmic Girl and this cover just rocks that magical bass-line! Fantastic..but I love Utube comments even more...'I may be stupid, but what are the earphones for?' Isn't the internet brilliant?!?! More please, David...top music, I mean.
David, you just get better ad better.... unbelievably good. The riffs at the end are awesome. I wonder has anyone from Jamiroquai or RHCP ever contacted you or commented on your covers?
you're an amazing bass player. you play with your soul. I can see it. keep up the good work, one day you'll be a known virtuoso. Just don't forget who told you that.
