    Adam Neely is the Jazz bassist all the metalheads want in their band, but always politely declines.

      He'd do either that, or post a 90 minute video that's just a loop of him playing the first half of the lick, stopping, and staring at the camera for 13.7 seconds. Then at the end, a title card that simply says "NO"

    I figured Adam wouldn't let any guitar player get away playing bass with him around.

    • @treyxaviermusic

      I'd never touch a bass again if I could have him play on all my stuff hahaha

  • @bebopbuddy4914

    Love the slap bass section. Was honestly expecting Adam to bust out the lick, but he avoided the temptation. Sick song.

    • @aarnialeksis
      @aarnialeksis Před 6 lety +1

      He actually quoted the lick but hided it real well 😂

    Adam Neely, doing metal and sporting an SBL strap. Epic.

  • @davetrombetti4240
    @davetrombetti4240 Před 6 lety +48

    I knew Adam Neely was into djent but never thought I'd see him playing a five string multiscale bass. I believe he's said that he didn't really care for them. But I'm honestly glad he did this. One thing you don't get to see Adam Neely do very much of on his channel is play bass.

    • @treyxaviermusic
      @treyxaviermusic  Před 6 lety +19

      Yeah I hope he does more, he's (clearly) crazy good. I think he should start a second channel for his original music or something

  • @trapper9856
    @trapper9856 Před 6 lety +1

    The first one inspired me and I ended up writing about 2 songs by grabbing some premade drum patterns, modifying them a bit, and writing riffs over them. It's a fun experiment and it got me used to working with midi for writing drums. I wrote a third song with only one section being based on a pre-made beat.
    Definitely a lot of fun, thanks for the inspiration!
    PS Adam Neely ripping it up was rad to watch

    Hey, I'm a pianist/keyboardist, for sure I've studied classical music for the most part in my life, now I'm studying jazz. I'd say you are careful with the details in orchestrations and I like it so much.
    Also, personaly, I don't like the exact repetition, so thank you for suggesting the variation thing when the groove changes. That's a problem in some music genres, the repetition. Really like how you develop your ideeas to not sound exactly the same all the time.
