For GHoSToKER, and other bass players....

stray harmonics arent my thing bro. I play mostly metal and there isnt much place for a bass player tapping the strings like hes actually making notes that go to the music. I figure maybe they should play drums instead. It doesnt take much talent to smack the guitar like a bitch's ass. I have a bass and I know how to do that shit too but I hate it. Give them say Paganini's 5'th caprice and I bet they can't play it

you soloist or rythmic?

thanks dude, awesome video.. i WISH i could do some of that shit :p

here is some more of Victor's stuff....
i was going to post a couple of his vids....but this one is the best out of the others....its like Amazing Grace....but more amazing..

lol...i think he's an awsome bassist.
He was pretty much the pioneer of techniques like double-thumbing, open hammer plauck and double popping....i dont play bass so i have no idea what these are...lol...but i still think he is awsome.

Wow, that other video was equally as amazing as the first. That guy's the man.

hey musician
I play lead and rythm and bass. I have been playing for 22+ years.

wow how cool is that i had no idea you could play a bass like that
