OH man that's frightening and no joke. I had the stinky foot kid in the back seat of the car, winter boots all full of slush and goo, her feet were cold so she takes off the boots and warms her feet in the heater air under the front seat. Carried her barefoot into the house, wet boots in the other hand thinking all is fine now and taken care of. Then Springtime comes, nice hot sunny day the car is gloriously warm and I'm running dad errands when I realize my eyes are getting very itchy, nose running, difficulty breathing. It's too early for pollen season what the hell is going on? In and out of the car a few times, the offending agent is definitely in the car so I start looking around. Stinky feet kid had left her slushy wet stinky socks on the rear floor and they were morphing into some kind of mushroom plant growth, the sock material all falling apart and super gross. More funk than I could handle.
ya learn how ya learn bro. what makes it "upside down" or "backwards"? Who made these laws bro? some asshole that cant play 0.001% as good as Neon? Right..
@@Skinnamarink. he is playing a right handed bass upside down. u can tell because the thickest strings are on the bottom instead of the top. there is no rules that declared this. its just thats the way those instruments are
right. Also, it’s a right handed bass because the cutaway on the neck is higher up where you’re supposed to put your hand. He doesn’t care though. Great playing.
This might be my favorite clip of him playing. Those hands move damnnn fast but holy shit, his *feel* during those parts where the bassline trudges along. Just fits perfectly into that tempo.
Do it. My first student was a man who got his first lesson as a present from his wife for his 50th birthday. Just go into a music store and ask the nice people there to plug it into an amp. Then pluck the string and sense how it feels.
@@agayactornamedmichaeldougl6289 You should check out an amazing bass player named Tetsuo Sakurai, he's in the same category as all of those you mentioned.
@@Old299dfk I can't imagine the process of getting wrapped in rainbows like that while in that state of mind. Don't have the time these days. Someone please animate that and set it to this music. That would be awesomeness.
I heard Eddie Murphy talking about this amazing musician and I had to hear for myself...man I can sit and listen to this music all day I love the bass guitar. Wow sooo good, sooo much talent!!!
He's right handed. "While Thomas is right-handed, he plays left-handed upside down on a right-handed bass guitar, which allows him to use heavy string bending on the upper strings." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dywane_Thomas_Jr.#:~:text=Playing%20style,bending%20on%20the%20upper%20strings.
Thanks, because trying to sort out what is happening here while listening and looking at the outfit at the same time makes me want to snort K in a fit of brain desperation.
Man this is whole video is badass. I dig the idea of rejecting the worlds idea of becoming a great musician and just jamming because you want to. Much love.
I could have this on loop for ever as my bed time nap song. It settles me like rain drops, wind and thunder just perfectly sleepy warm blanket bed song.
Damn that mononeon art manifesto at the end is gold for me. I am surrounded by musicians who got trained since their childhood but they don't create music, they only repeat classic or really good stuff... I am addicted to music my whole life, but never had the chance to learn it. On top of that I wasnt able to hear until I was five and I am not sure if I can properly hear now with nearly 30.. But nevertheless I create my own music with my synthesizers and drum pads since two years. Sometimes I struggle hard with the fact that I will not reach the level of musically and the people around me say I can't learn rhythm and the musical feeling in my age.. But fuck that.. Reject the worldly idea of becoming a great musician.. JUST LIVE MUSIC! Thank you for that.
This age thing is simply not true. While it is usually way easier for children to pick up music, there actually are people who first learn to play an instrument in their 30s and do great. I recently saw a pianist playing Debussy pieces really well after 3 years of picking up piano at 34. Also, there are many musicians with hearing impairments or even deaf ones (even some that have been born deaf). So no reason to let yourself be held back :)
Anyone can learn how to play, how to write and compose, like any others before did, you only need time and some dedication But to create, something new, from scratch or from any other inspiration, that cant be teached, that cant be practized, and dosnt matter how much a virtuoso would say it otherwise, history proves, that to create you need passion and to copy just you need time, take care hope your music its doing awesomeness
Thank you Mr. MonoNeon for sharing this wonderful piece of music. I was reading the comments and all the references to your art manifesto - you are truly helping humanity with your vibe and message. Made me feel better about life just from listening and reading.
Honestly doesn't seem that bad because the lower you go the lower the note. I could see it being fine especially on bass. Guitar not so much because some of the chords would be impractical to try to play
you treat that bass like i would treat the love of my life. unfortunately im neither a bassist nor do i have a love of my life. but i love music. and that and a cat is all i need really. bless you for this piece of joy.
Dope af! This reminds me of listening to Bootsy Collins and Jaco Pastoriusand it's like they were one bassist. But obviously this cat is taking it to another level. Love it fam!
Bootsyy wish to played like this. YOU CAN´T COMPARE Jaco to any other human been..you just can´t But this guy is knows what to play is all about. 99.9 of bass players just can´t play like that....They just can´t. Even if they think they can...
Dude, this guy is just something never seen before. Diferent. And incredible paying and imagination. Not saying is better or worse than other people. But of course he is better than 99.9 % of top bass players right know...jaja
Every time I hear this, I need to comment. It's like listening to Bootsy if he actually had technical skills!! Mono has blessed us with a whole new level!!
I just tried out his artist model Fender 5 String at a Guitar Center and fell in love with it in seconds no joke. Very original. There is something about his model of bass guitar that makes you want to continue to play for hours. What a great musical inspiration he is for sure. I just watched him jam on a couple other videos. Even though most will probably will not believe me with this but it is 100% true. As mush of a funk and hip hop player Mono is and yes, I love funk and Mo Town so much too. I would use his model of bass to play the most crazy hard rock and heavy metal if I was in a band.
I watched an interview with mono neon, the dude is quiet and very shy, claims the quilt material comfort him from outer vibes..strange personality super nice guy- protect him at all costs!
This would be a tough gig in that warm outfit under those hot lights that's why UA-cam is the best option for him props to this music and talent...you rock
the last three repeat turnaround at the end are cut together video repeats. I'm a huge Mononeon not messin' with the goat but I only just clocked it at 2:20 and 2:36

Thats crazy skillz uau

He didn’t even flip the strings either. This the new wave fam.
Hendrix did this with guitar way back

Do it!
do itttt !
Hope you take it up 😎

NEVER TOO LATE. Drums control the heartbeat. Guitar gives you chills. But bass speaks to the SOUL

As a lifetime crocheter, I gotta say... and your playing is amazing - straight fire~

I just found Mononeon today and as a bass player, this straight up changed my whole outlook on bass playing. Amazing. Keep at it like a BOSS!!!

So no one's going to talk about this man's art manifesto? Straight jewels right there. Bless up people!

"You can't play left-handed on an upside down right-handed bass!"

Honestly doesn't seem that bad because the lower you go the lower the note. I could see it being fine especially on bass. Guitar not so much because some of the chords would be impractical to try to play
