At that age I composed 8 voice fuga's. But nobody understood. Nor did I. What is equal temperament, again? It still bothers me. How can one stand those shreek chords?
Your comment reminds me if Mozart. His dad DID treat him like a monkey. Having him travel all over Europe...which indirectly contributed to health problems that caused him life long issues. But...both are wonderful musicians.
That brought tears to my eyes! Man, best joke ever. Kids are so damned cute. Got one myself and I love how kids are always “on” to learn new stuff. This kid is awesome, but the band is so generous it hurts. Shared love for music.
Áron's playing is impressive. And props to Richard Bona for encouraging him and giving him the spotlight. Wonderful to see that kind of kindness and generosity in an established artist. Speaks to his confidence and qualities as a person and professional.
I love watching videos like this... It's wonderful to see accomplished musicians take time with kids and to nurture their creativity.... I can't help but wonder if they honestly realize the positive impact they're having on these kids lives.... It's a blessing for me to watch..
Yeah, The basic Chicken riff isn't that difficult finger-wise but it's easy to lose your place if you don't concentrate. This kid has it all on point and can keep it going for as long as he needs. that's impressive at such a young age.
I have a new favorite bass player, Richard Bona. He made 8 yr old Áron Hodek feel comfortable on stage, and his smile is contagious. You just see/feel the positive energy emanating from this man.
It was a pleasure watching this! I loved the little smiles Aron had while playing. It’s obvious he and the rest of the band were having fun. So Aaron is eleven now. Gonna check out YT for more current stuff.
I had the pleasure of teching Richard for one gig only, he was by far one of the coolest, nicest, just overall best artists I've ever had the chance to work with. Great guy. Great player too!
Richard Bona's smile and positive energy when he plays amazing bass grooves and solos is a gift to all of us. The kid is also very skilled and had so much fun on bass. What a wholesome video!
This young boy in 10 years is a legend with focus... I'm just flabbergasted at the hate ppl display bcus their lack there of. My gosh.. The kid is nice.. stop hatin!!!
This is soooo cool to see all these young kids playing so well on CZcams! This application has brought so much music to so many people and gotten so many into music. Keep up the great work Áron Hodek!!
Very impressed with Richard the way he helped the kid get started and didn’t blow him away. Richard is genius. He helped the boy stay on tempo measure by measure.
Man makes me almost tear up making him feel welcome and get In his comfort zone not trying to upstage him just jamming like he’s with any other top tier musician. Mad Respect ✊
Bona couldn't have been a better host, and the interaction between those two was priceless. I loved Bona's reaction to Áron's harmonics at the end; totally caught everyone off guard! Great job kid!
I cant take the smile off my face listening to this! this is just magic! I love the song and was fortunate to perform it with my boy on bass guitar. Magic when I see the generations come together!
Bonat is such a great guy! Love how he gives everybody a good feeling with his vibes. And the young aron is a brave guy to be playing right nett to such a legend!
Ahhhh you guys are great...Jam on..The real gem is the older bass player allowing the up and comming bass player to jam and not over playing.Excellent bassman..
I just saw him on another video and was super amazed by his soulful expressions as he played. That's how you know the rhythm is in the soul, the expressions come naturally.
Met Richard at Kuumbwa Jazz l gave Joe Zawinul a painting before he passed as l did to Jaco. The love music admiration exchange is phenomenal. Aron's got the prodigy gift from God. Bringing some joy into this horrible world .Wonderful way to begin my day. God bless y'all. Much love.
This is absolutely priceless, thank you SO much for filming and sharing it! I just love the way Richard Bona welcomes Áron and shares the spotlight with him. A true Great! And the way Bona's jaw drops at 2:52 is so sweet. The Genius and the Child Prodigy, indeed.
love the facts that all great musicians embraced this youngman and being great mentors ...cant wait to see what the future holds for such an amazing talent ....he is our future of Jazz bass folks!
Have you never jammed yourself?! That is pretty normal. There are always new improvisations. That's why it never stops. Duh! Is that funny? Hmm, could be.
Oh Holy Mother of God & all that is talent in this world. Geez Louise...I teach & yes, I am sure that this young one (who's age doesn't matter) could teach me a thing or 2...continue to come from the heart...always. What a blessing to have the next generation being given such gifts. Hell, I know people my age that STILL don't know what they are to be doing in life. Bless ya, Aron! Keep it up. Play play & play always...keep tappin' in. Keep this "connection" in your life.
THE 2K PEOPLE DISLIKE LISTEN ONLY JUL OR VOCODER MUSIC THEY DON T KNOW WHAT IS REAL MUSIC THIS KID KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AND GROOVE, NOT JUST A MECANICAL PRACTICE BUT A SOUL PRACTICE:°)
I was thinking the same thing .. i was more impressed with his communication skills (eye contact and such) than his actual playing (Which was phenomenal)
Actually The Chicken isn't that difficult to play for a reasonably accomplished amateur bassist but for him to nail it so well at his age, in this kind of pressured environment, is very impressive.
@@DrainedGaming No he's not. Most of us are pretty tired of religious people injecting their personal beliefs into all conversations on the internet. It's especially disrespectful to this young man who probably have spent thousands of hours practicing his instrument. You are taking away from his accomplishment by attributing it to god.
Having played for about 20 years, and having played this tune about 11.4 trillion times, this damn kid is almost better than me at it. He can't have been playing more than, what, 3 years? He's got such good attack and all those ghost notes and everything, plus taking cues on the fly like that, what a badass! I was still playing with dirt and sticks when I was his age, haha!
When I was his age, I was closing fridge doors slowly to see if the light switches off.
Did you ever find out?????
At that age I composed 8 voice fuga's. But nobody understood. Nor did I. What is equal temperament, again? It still bothers me. How can one stand those shreek chords?
I did that yesterday 😁😉
Lol
Yesss
This kid isn't just a trained puppet. He grooves along with all the changes and can improvise with where ever the tune goes. Impressive.
puppets can do that too
@@chanfonseka8051 Yes but with strings attached or a hand up their butt.
Your comment reminds me if Mozart. His dad DID treat him like a monkey. Having him travel all over Europe...which indirectly contributed to health problems that caused him life long issues. But...both are wonderful musicians.
A inveja mata.
what's this song's name?
The child has talent, chops and taste. Talent never blossoms without work. He works.
The look on his face is amazing. I can’t imagine being a parent and watching something like that. Life changing moment he’ll remember forever.
I'm such a fan of him and love when kids are introduced to music early and find great passion in playing.
"Hold my juice box, I got this"
OK, made me laugh, nice
That is funny brotherman.
😂👍
That brought tears to my eyes! Man, best joke ever. Kids are so damned cute. Got one myself and I love how kids are always “on” to learn new stuff.
This kid is awesome, but the band is so generous it hurts. Shared love for music.
Lol
He's not just playing notes. HE KNOWS WHERE HE IS! I hope he keeps the passion for decades to come
Whats the song name
TheoMC14 the chicken
Just how I feel about him !
This kid is good on the way to be great. To hell with all those that gave a thumbs down.
played bass longer than his age but he is way way ahead of me.
Áron's playing is impressive. And props to Richard Bona for encouraging him and giving him the spotlight.
Wonderful to see that kind of kindness and generosity in an established artist. Speaks to his confidence and qualities as a person and professional.
I love watching videos like this...
It's wonderful to see accomplished musicians
take time with kids and to nurture their creativity.... I can't help but wonder if they honestly realize the positive impact they're having on these kids lives.... It's a blessing for me to watch..
Yes it is it's a great blessing to see it!💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks for your love and support being a good fan of mine and a good listener of music. Keep on loving my music and God bless you ❤️🙏🎸
When I was his age I went to the hospital with a bean stuck in my nose.
Bwahahahahaha!!!
Holy crap, so did I when I was just a few years younger.
when i was his age i have a problem to poop , seriously
lol, when i was his age i cant even eat without water. i know it's weird but yup thats me
😂🤘🤘
The kid held tempo the whole way, crazy lol
Yeah, The basic Chicken riff isn't that difficult finger-wise but it's easy to lose your place if you don't concentrate. This kid has it all on point and can keep it going for as long as he needs. that's impressive at such a young age.
Tone, too.
This young man is phenomenal. He’s definitely got the talent to go places for sure.
Thanks for your love and support being a good fan of mine and a good listener of music. Keep on loving my music and God bless you ❤️🎸🙏
I like how they play together, making eye contact and smiling. Really enjoying the music they are making.
I always tell people one of the greatest gift you can give a child . Is introducing them to MUSIC!!!!!!
The smile on the kids face! I hope it lasts forever.
Yeah, that's the best part. Good show Aron!
Sean Landis On Both faces
The best part! Yes!! Freakin adorable...I don't care who you are...
He's a musician, it probably won't.
I have a new favorite bass player, Richard Bona.
He made 8 yr old Áron Hodek feel comfortable on stage, and his smile is contagious. You just see/feel the positive energy emanating from this man.
I absolutely dig how they play TOGETHER, how they take a few moments here and there to push the little fella into the spotlight. This is fantastic.
It was a pleasure watching this! I loved the little smiles Aron had while playing. It’s obvious he and the rest of the band were having fun.
So Aaron is eleven now. Gonna check out YT for more current stuff.
No matter the age, race or gender, music brings everybody together
Amen to that!!💪🏽🙌🏽
exactly
E-YES BROTHER SAY IT LOUD!!!!!
Mike Kline that’s why I love music👌🏿
Spot on!
Honestly it brings tears to my eyes seeing the way they look at each other and smile while they're playing
I agree I've felt exactly the same...that's spirit connection man!
Same!!!
So stinking cute the way he smiles and jamming with everyone.
It's nice to see humility, generosity and encouragement from a seasoned musician to a very young and talented one.
most of the time i hate videos of these young “phenomenons” but this kid has an actual natural gift and great groove. i love it
That kid is loving that. Look at the eye contact and smile. This was cool.
Aaron is like " the song don't end till I end it"😝😝
Insane how effortless it looks when he plays. I think he’s going to become one of the greats.
richard bona. good person. good bassist. great human
Chris Rod Drums I met him once. He was one of the coolest people.
"Good bassist", more like a bass Beast!!
Chris Rod Drums you can only pick one.
I had the pleasure of teching Richard for one gig only, he was by far one of the coolest, nicest, just overall best artists I've ever had the chance to work with. Great guy. Great player too!
What I work as, oh, I’m a pro at being a hewman totally not alien
I see things like this and I remember how wonderful people really are.
AMEN to that.... we are better than we sometimes behave...
You got it Brother! Stronger Together!!
Yes A handfull of people CAN be AT TIMES .
We should all be doing this , playing with kids having fun , the world would be a much better place
Yeah we are fkn savage lol
Richard Bona's smile and positive energy when he plays amazing bass grooves and solos is a gift to all of us. The kid is also very skilled and had so much fun on bass. What a wholesome video!

Damn, that kid has everything he needs... staccatto, jazz, mojo, confidence... the world is your oyster fella.
His hand positioning is also another major plus I noticed. he is relaxed with his right and the fingering is perfect on the left.
@@slapslicks7531 That's what kills my playing at guitar and bass. I am so damn tight.
At least the increasingly shrinking portion of the "music" world that cares about and uses musicians.
Shuck it, cover it with Tabasco, and slurp it down your cake hole- the World that is!
next stop, chicks...
I want to be this kid when I grow up..
hahahahahahahaaaaa
May your wish come true, my friend !
Wait......
Benjamin Button
you want to be a kid when you grow up bruh?
That's so cool, a memory that boy will never forget 👍.
Little man literally kept that thing solid the whole way through! Go Áron!!! 🙌🏼♥️
Bassist to bassist...Don't ever stop playing little brother! Your parents are serving you well! May your family be blessed!
Look at the young boy smiling 😍
This is soooo cool to see all these young kids playing so well on CZcams! This application has brought so much music to so many people and gotten so many into music. Keep up the great work Áron Hodek!!
I used to taste different coloured crayons at that age, I was convinced they had different flavours.
And do they? I would't like to have to go to the trouble and get some, just because you brought up that question and are withholding the answer.
@@tornoutlaw I'm not going to spoil the surprise for you but my favourite are the red ones.
@@danrdgreen lol
“BUT IT SAYS ORANGE!”
"Defense!!! Defense!!!!!!!"
Never mind the like button, where's the love button. That was awesome all round. What an amazing young talent.
More importantly than anything else, he is 1) having fun and 2) not having the wrong attitude. More kids like this one, please.
This little guy is amazing and if you disliked this video you are not.
I dislike
@@kevinr3655 why?
@@kevinr3655 You are efed up and do not understand the beauty of all things
and music ! One sorry dude !
Eric Blackman!!!!! I watch your videos!!
@@kevinr3655 kevin is green jelly.
Very impressed with Richard the way he helped the kid get started and didn’t blow him away. Richard is genius. He helped the boy stay on tempo measure by measure.
Man, before they even make a real sound, the smiles on their faces before they even play? You know it's going to be good.
It was. Lol.
Man makes me almost tear up making him feel welcome and get In his comfort zone not trying to upstage him just jamming like he’s with any other top tier musician. Mad Respect ✊
I don’t know how they squeezed 240 years of musical genius into a 8 year old’s brain and body but WOW!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
😢🎉

That young guy played that bass line sooo effortlessly
@ 2:54, Richard's response to the bass groove is priceless. Go Aron!
Brad Landry dude holy shit that was smooth
I know, i saw it too. Hahah awesome stuff
the drummer was going to play as well, but he missed the bus from his preschool...
🤣
😂
Saxofoon player had his dipers changed ....and got brest fed..so missed the jam session too....😁😂😵
@@Baard2000 get out
Lolest
That boy's smile is so precious. 💜💜💜
This kid is so serious about it I love it 😀 holding it down like a professional
Hey everyone look, those guys are speaking to one another through music!
I love it when they get the kids involved. That kid will remember that moment for a long time.
Bonat is such a great guy! Love how he gives everybody a good feeling with his vibes. And the young aron is a brave guy to be playing right nett to such a legend!
These 3 playing together, best thing to hear waking up. Awesome skills & adorable
I LOVE TO SEE THESE CHILDREN SO INVOLVED WITH MUSIC!!! MUSIC IS SO FULFILLING IN YOUR LIFE.....BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER!!!!!
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?!
Tiger Steele
There was a time when it was a normal part of our scholastic upbringing to be introduced to music and learn to play an instrument.
This is one of the coolest happy feel good vids I’ve seen in a long time
that kid has most innocent and genuine smile on his face
Richard could cause world peace with that smile, charisma and bass playing.
Liked the way Richard Bona related to the boy, musically saying I'm old and you're young but these guitars make us equal!
You got it !
Gordon Owens
Thing is not in „i’’m old and you’re young”. Also not in „guitars” - thing is in skills, technique and maturity.
"Oh, you want to jam? Hold my milk."
👏👏👏👏 Way to go, Aaron!
Ahhhh you guys are great...Jam on..The real gem is the older bass player allowing the up and comming bass player to jam and not over playing.Excellent bassman..
This kids going to be sitting inside of studios and rooms, that most will never see on the inside. Keep it up young man. Got a great life ahead you.
2 Bass players in love with the craft is a thing of beauty to behold!
Richard is such a wonderful person. He encourages all players, and you will never meet a nicer soul. Oh, and he can play!
I just saw him on another video and was super amazed by his soulful expressions as he played. That's how you know the rhythm is in the soul, the expressions come naturally.
Gail Becker...So very true! I believe we all possess that musical rhythm in our souls!
Thanks for your love ❤️ and support being a good fan of mine and a good listener of music 🎸. God bless you 🙏
In France we say bonnattitude! An humble real virtuose! Richard Bonna puts African aura of his person in World first class jazz. Wicked
Richard Bona is my new favourite human being.
👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🍻
Im pretty sure I still ate sand when I was 8
HAHA!
Lol
Whahaha
I still eat sand at age 33
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

The simple musicality of that kid’s playing is the most impressive part for me.
Richard Bona is such a CLASS ACT. LOVE watching him play.
So true. And definitely among the best bassists on the planet.
Yes, Richard has a great expressive, happy smile to go with the kid's great expressive, happy smile. Someone!!!!! Take a still, I'd put it on my wall.
Thanks for the SMILES watching these two guys plays is AWESOME!!!!
This was absolutely wonderful. Thank you for posting.
I love how in the pocket the kid is and they make him feel wonderful with the limited embellishing they do. Super good guys!!!
Thanks for your love ❤️ and support being a good fan of mine and a good listener of music 🎸. God bless you 🙏 🎉

LOVE THIS KID! Just have fun and groove is all in his playing!
That lead guitarist and that crazy blues scale🔥🎵❤
**Nice one, years back, i tried learning the bass guitar without success** seeing this little kid play bass reminds me of those day. Keep it up boy!
That kid will be legendary.
Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, Victor Wooten, JPJ, Tal Wilkenfeld, this kid.
Already on his way!
Little fella says we don’t finish till I say we finish!!!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch......
Lol. He doing it..... in the pocket...
Haha:) yeah
True..😂
love the facts that all great musicians embraced this youngman and being great mentors ...cant wait to see what the future holds for such an amazing talent ....he is our future of Jazz bass folks!
Funny how many times they tried to end the song
The kid's like "you brought me up here we're gonna jam"!
Have you never jammed yourself?! That is pretty normal. There are always new improvisations. That's why it never stops. Duh! Is that funny? Hmm, could be.
what a lovely man richard is.aron will always remember this :-)
I'm ashamed to call myself a bass player after watching this kid. I am not worthy.
😂🤣😁 same!! 🤣🤣🤘
Lol dude

Wholesome!

TRULY inspirational seeing these three up there! The kid is a natural with GREAT rhythm, timing AND memory! Keep it up!
Ya just gotta love musicians. Like no others. Amazing people.👍👍 And it's really great to see more and more kids learning to play.
THE 2K PEOPLE DISLIKE LISTEN ONLY JUL OR VOCODER MUSIC THEY DON T KNOW WHAT IS REAL MUSIC THIS KID KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING AND GROOVE, NOT JUST A MECANICAL PRACTICE BUT A SOUL PRACTICE:°)
I love it, he understands the conversation exchange, watch his eyes. The next Felix Pastorius.
I was thinking the same thing .. i was more impressed with his communication skills (eye contact and such) than his actual playing (Which was phenomenal)
Got to appreciate that tone too
The funny thing is, that young man is smiling while playing a piece most grown, gigging bassists wont touch! Amazing. The 'God Spark' at work.
Most grown gigging bassists would crush this but the kid is definitely highly skilled
God spark? Praise Jesus?
Actually The Chicken isn't that difficult to play for a reasonably accomplished amateur bassist but for him to nail it so well at his age, in this kind of pressured environment, is very impressive.
@Dan Dan holy shit guy. im not religious, but you're just as fucking bad as everyone else you think of as religious

Beautiful collab. Props to the youngster. And also to the gracious professionals.
This kid has an undeniable showmanship spirit I hope to have someday and the experienced musicians giving him room to shine was so cool to see 🤌🏼
This has got to be the most legit prodigy I've sseen on youtube. The stuff he was doing was LEGIT professional playing
Having played for about 20 years, and having played this tune about 11.4 trillion times, this damn kid is almost better than me at it. He can't have been playing more than, what, 3 years?

Such joy and fun on their faces! Beautiful. Thanks!
