    This is Stuart Hamm's instrumental cover of the Led Zeppelin classic Going to California from their untitled fourth album. He plays that classic skilfukly and with such dexterity. Why he can do it like that? Because he is simply the best. Stuart Hamm is the best bass guitar player on Earth, period. The greatest bass player in history. That is all.

    LORN LEBER on GUITAR!!! This is so crazy, I just heard Steve Vai (and Jude Gold) talking about how Lorn was the BEAST guitarist at BERKLEE in the 70's. Lorn is an underground fusion guitar legend in California. He is just finally starting to get the recognition and fame that HE DESERVES. But Vai says that Lorn Leber can pick faster than Yngwie, and Vai couldn't even hold a candle to the guy. Seriously, he needs to have more videos out there. Check out the NAMM performance he did with his band "Jolomy" a couple years ago.

    • @mattroads6846

    • @FrenchVanillaMilitia
      @FrenchVanillaMilitia Před 8 lety

      Some players just like their action to be as low as possible. I honestly don't know how they tolerate it. I'm not even that good but I have to have my action higher than that; that's just messy with all of that fret buzz.

    • @The_sinner_Jim_Whitney
      @The_sinner_Jim_Whitney Před 4 lety

      I suspect that they raveled from somewhere with a different climate, or maybe Stu had to use a different string gauge than usual, or both. Whatever the reason, the bass seems to have several setup problems. The fret buzz, Stu seems to have trouble fretting notes (I've heard and seen him do this a bunch of other times perfectly), and the intonation is off considerably.

      @K31R616 Před 8 lety

      Damn straight. Perhaps it was his tone? Or maybe the fact that, in a way, the guitar and bass have swapped roles to create this? If I try to compare directly to the original then the whole thing seems off-set, if I just listen, then it all fits together nicely.

    • @gab.lab.martins
      @gab.lab.martins Před 8 lety +2

      The reason is: pentatonic scale. Stu's melodies were complex and classy, while the guitarist's were straight up & down blues penta. Boring an unfit for the song.

    @malachishanks7376 Před 8 lety

    An on the note of the actual video. This is what's wrong with music. There's a fine line between being a good bass player and shitting excessive notes out of your bass. The bass is made to keep low, lock with the drums, and add low end to the guitar. It's the bridge between drums and guitar. It's called bass for a fucking reason. Those harmonics and that melody are not what bass is meant to be. If he wanted to play high notes he should've played guitar instead.

    • @metalguitar777
      @metalguitar777 Před 8 lety +9

      No you are what's wrong with music. Who are we to dictate how someone else should play an instrument? If you don't like it then cool, that's your opinion and it's your right to have it. Music is subjective and every musician is free to do whatever he wants. I personally like this, it's a refreshing break from the usual guitar shredding. Yes the bass is meant to lock in with the drums and provide the low end but when that's all a bass player does, well that's just boring. Things like this show that there is more to the bass than just riding the root notes in a song for 4 minutes. Just my two cents.
