god damnit
This made me laugh, thx! I'm in the youtube process of becoming a Thundercat fan via UA-cam as I type this, apparently I've been under quite a large rock for waay too long! Really cool watching him play Jaco even just for a sec.
MastaPiff414 I wish I could hear thundercat again for the first time.
@@Newspeak. Yeah... No doing that but try watching some live stuff if you haven't yet! Watching a talented cat like Thundercat makes it feel fresh, the next best thing! (See what I did there? Ugh, nevermind! LoL) I was blown away with his skills on the bass! Seen him do a really good long solo on this song live somewhere on youtube!
Ahhh this gold‼😂🏅
“If your feel sucks you just suck” - Thundercat
Feel is real. The reliance on being technical alone has produced more automatons than artists.
Absolutely true!
Michael Seminatore Amen
It’s true, though.
Facts.
My dude plays bass, is a fan of Evangelion, and literally goes by the name "Thundercat". I think I just found a new idol.
All of his songs abt DBZ are super funny
@@Yeezus_2 Baby girl, how do I look in my durag
and played for 10+ years on Suicidal Tendencies
Don't idolize men
@Michael Sanchez-Fouchécourt Never Gonna Catch Me is just a powerhouse of talent. Flying Louts as the producer, Kendrick Lamar on vocals, and Thundercat on bass. Same with More, but with Anderson Paak on vocals. It’s really the same song, but different ways of telling it.
As a musician, i found his in depth knowledge of bass lines motivating. I love how he talks about the overall structure of the song and not just how dope the bass line is. Really cool stuff honestly
I have always said that most proficient is not always the best. For whatever reason my goto example is Gene Krupa with drums. (He was very proficient, but there are a bunch with a better grasp on the technical aspects than he had, yet Gene Krupa always knew just what to play.)
Honestly I think this is one of the first things anyone who thinks they love music needs to learn before they can actually love it.
well said, we need more thundercat vids like this
Thundercat: touches bass

@@leavewe yes
Cream wrote Sunshine of your love while jamming right after going to a Jimmy Hendrix concert. That line is pure Hendrix....
What did Hendrix write that sounds similar? Just curious.
@@estebanb7166 inspiration doesn’t mean copying
Jimi did a cover of this song, its the other way around.
@@johnnolcox8768 am aware doesn’t mean he didn’t influence the writing of it.
@@estebanb7166 Fire
I come here often to watch him play Portrait like it's no big deal. This dude is a LEGEND.
Just came back again after hearing it in my playlist. Just insane talent
"I didn't want to pick up the bass..." heh, everyone else wants it!
seeing tcat on the 4 string is more surreal than what he's wearing
Some more ;) ua-cam.com/video/jxhMI8Y3Pyg/v-deo.html
four string shocking
Or his tapestry of tattoos
busts out Jaco...shocking to some, but not shocking to some :0 ;)
That’s what I was gonna say! But much less coherently lol
"There's a fine line between funky and ... disaster." 😂
I scrolled down and read your comment at the same time he said it lol.
It’s so fkn true tho
Yeah how cool is that..he nailed it
Most these guys that do slap bass are a disaster in my opinion.
ashleyfayeee literally read this comment as he was saying this lol
As a new bassist this video is eye opening
You've stumbled upon gold, and more importantly, you realize that having experts curate some of your listening is important. Try out some of the simpler lines in this video (the Herbie Hancock and Cream ones especially), you'll benefit for sure.
as a pretty experienced bassist its still eye opening. i love this guy
Thundercat is a true student of music. I respect his art alot more now
check this out, if you play bass this will blow ya mind ;) ua-cam.com/video/zhVgbZdMdb0/v-deo.htmlsi=ZOsJGg5_C5cIRgnk
"If your feel sucks, you just sucks." So true. That's why all musicians should dance as much as possible too.
Love this comment bro!
This. It shocks me how many musicians can't/ won't dance.
Not for black metal
@@Aveofficialtone LOL
TØNE Moshing is dance, all movement accompanying movement is dance. Your grandmother’s shoulder shimmy and clap in her chair at a family wedding is dance. It’s all dance!
I think he's basically Rick James that got high on anime instead of cocaine...
y2dungur Na he’s way more bootsy than Rick
You mean DMT lol
Y'all bass-jits are so far off it's laughable. Bootsy was THE Player of the year, and Rick was friends with Charlie Murphy. Thundercat is a musician with style. NO COMPARISON!

Louis Johnson is playing the ORIGINAL bass line created by SHUGGIE OTIS who WROTE the song...dig deeper.
04:04 Marcus Miller Sample in Snoop Dog - "G'z And Hustlaz"
Wow, it's so unbelievable to see someone else play Portrait of Tracy, but if anyone was going to do it, Thundercat's the man!
He busted that out with such ease. Much respect
- guitar player
On a precision bass nonetheless!
A lot of rappers and singers, have sampled that bassline.
What's unbelievable about it? At that point, there have been hundreds if not thousands of people covering it, including teenagers. It's not some unachievable feat of virtuosity by today's standards.
@@Palpitacje do you wake up seething every day?

literally been for like 2 years now lmao
Pretty soon he will literally be animated.
Literally his goals

“D’Angelo’s self titled album... Brown Sugar” 😂

Henry Fullmer album title is right but he missed on it being self titled.
@@raphthaturtle9698 that was part of the joke.

LOL
I've never really been into the crazy technical bass style, I'm more of a 'crank it up to 10 and play 5 notes' punk bass type guy but every time I see jazz and funk bass broken down like this I just get tremendous respect for it. Always dug thundercat, super rad bass player and overall cool dude.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THUNDERCAT ON HIS 1ST GRAMMY!! 🔥🔥🔥
That was his second fam, he won in 2016 for these walls!!
That's what I like: musicians talking about their influences and letting them explain why they like certain songs and how it influenced their view on music.
I was actually just thinking about how the song Amad by Duke Ellington ended up unintentionally shaping the way I make and compose music. When I was a trombone player in my colleges jazz band I got to play the solo at the end of Amad and it ended up changing everything. This solo was unlike most other solos in jazz band, as it was a solo over just one chord droning in the rhythm section. Because I didn't have to think about chord changes I was able to solo in a completely medatative state, allowing my subconscious and emotion to guide the what I was playing. Now years latter as a music producer most the music I produce has a lot of repeated groovin' drones while subtly changing things here and there. I actually just recently made the connection that the reason I compose music like this is because of the experience I had playing Amad.
@@LunaticTheCat unironic
Cool story brother 💪
I like this: Commenters commenting on the videos they liked and explaining why they liked them.
This is pretty much a bass masterclass.
Period!
It is!!! 🤩
I need another hour of this!😭
same lol@@kisslena
i've been playing bass for 20 years and it took me 17 of those 20 years to learn that groove is all about timing, space, articulation, and feel, not about how many notes you can play.
Way ahead of you. I've committed to learning zero notes, and so far, I can play them perfectly. 😎
Once I’m 50 I’ll be there then xD
His signature bass is so enormous that when he holds a regular 4 string P bass it looks like a guitar
The way he describes the bass as being a mix of rhythm, melody and harmony is actually spot on. The bass - whether it’s a double bass, a bass guitar, or key bass - is such a unique instrument and role. It really is the glue that brings everything else together.
It's not "His" 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂
@@ZENSIBLE what are you saying?
"is actually spot on" thanks for confirming that Thundercat knows what he's talking about. It isn't like he is a highly regarded professional bassist that has played with legends and toured internationally. Lol.
@@alexhoward1884 I know right? :) I just really liked the way he put it, that's all. He obviously has a great knowledge and understanding of the instrument
ZENSIBLE Maybe if you use more emojis people will understand what you’re trying to say...
he's playing jaco like nothing and y'all focusing on what he looks like.
Fr people are so weird
Real. Talk. But that type of ability/genius often goes overlooked...
Easy way to see if people like music for it's art form, or use it as a social accessory to add depth to their shallow lives.
@14:57 that sigh as he's listening to Jaco is everything
Thank you
Luther Vandross " Never too Much " has a particularly wonderful bass line. Listen to it when ya can.
Marcus Miller!
Thundercat is a piece of art that came to life in the physical world
I love the way he talks about music
Thundercat looks like he is ready to pilot a Eva.
Let's hope he doesn't have a 2- episode metaphysical breakdown
A man of culture right here
All right, I thought I was crazy when I saw the A-10 clips for the Evangelion pilots in his head.
@@IronMan-tk8uc it's nerdy af. Furry level nerd.
At least he's not wearing a plug suit.
Thundercat sounds like Questlove breaking down music. I would love to hear them play together.
Hope ?uest sees this....pweeeeeeease

8. “Portrait of Tracy”- Jaco Pastorius (Jaco on bass 🙌🏼)
name one person whos practice routine involves portrait of tracy😭
On the fly he just recreates a Jaco bassline. This dude's an amazing bassist, much respect
With ease🤦🏾♂️
pretty sure he's played it a thousand times before.....
He just knew how to play the song already
That’s not on the fly! But superb still!
Serious bass players know how to play "Portrait of Tracy". It's a rite of passage and a must learn.
Dude is a musician's musician. Definitely one of my favorites. It's a real treat to hear him talk shop instead of the dumb stuff most videos have him talking about.
I have been to three of his concerts and this is first time I've heard him speak on his music
Man I wish my dad was still here. My dad used to play bass, I know would have loved Thundercat. R.I.P Daddy💖🙏
Thundercat: i chose all of these bass lines bc theyre simple
Jaco Pastorius: *laughs in fretless jazz*
There's something so dope about watching some speak who really knows their craft
Yeah man, it’s glorious
I took a chance seeing his set at Coachella, never even hearing of him before and just going to see him simply because I liked his name. It ended up being one of my favorites of the weekend.
🤦♂️
@@johnnyc.3261 huh
Hes the real deal
I started rolling a cig after the haboglanotrob song started lol. It was nice to hear thunder confirm
U gotta see him at a venue bro
What portrait of tracy does to people is is amazing. This man says "woah" because it's almost impossible to put into words what that song means to you. That'll touch a little part of your soul that's ever present but seldom acknowledged.
Watching him play Jaco like that is what dreams are made of. Fkn phenomenal.
Take a moment and listen to this man. He is incredibly articulate and descriptive. He has, at times, a profound vocabulary to express what he senses in music. It's refreshing to hear his thoughts. And at the same time, he is really relatable, very down to earth. I don't even listen to his music, but I watched this video.
I believe you should look at the definition of articulate.
Amazing what you can do when you prepare/have a script, though he sounds pretty normal.
@@123eldest yeah, being able to write down your thoughts really let's you find the best way to convey all those golden thoughts trapped deep down in your mind. When you can get that point across in a just a few words, you sound so very wise. That's why I love to write things down before I say them
Michael I’m frustrated that this comment is so far below all the comments about what he looks like. I agree that he’s really insightful in his analysis.
You should listen to his music if you haven't yet. He has a sound that's quite catchy.
I would totally sit and watch a Masterclass by Thundercat. Hearing him talk about music is something else
a bassline is like the line a surfer carves on a wave as it pushes the rider along.
His music IQ is so unreal.... amazingly talented
never knew larry graham was drakes uncle. kind of blew my mind
ay love your playing!
Compared to LG Drake is an embarrassment. Larry is everything
Drake is terrible, sorry Larry.
What? For real?

Papa Bless!
Man, discovered Thundercat today and super impressed by how skillful he is
Jaco is on his own level. He still can’t be touched. I love how thunder cat paid him some massive respect here. Talent gone too soon.
Jaco was okay, many modern players like Gary Willis and Victor Wooten have it over him though.
@@uraniumcranium2613 disagree, technically possibly more proficient but they do not have the writing and arranging ability Jaco does
Jaco was a guitar player.
Bass got rules that can only be stretched but never broken.
@@uraniumcranium2613 Jaco walked so Víctor Wooten and all these other modern bassists could run. Even Sting himself said that Jaco completely changed bass all around
@@unc1589 since when does music have rules? 🤣🤣🤣
My boi thundercat out here rockin the eva pilot headset
And your rocking a JP Ahonen profile pic. Your well cultured too.
@@Therealryuh20 "Ah, i see you're a man of culture as well."
How come one one talks about his weight lose and how much healthier he looks now?
Hearing Thundercat talk about Jaco made my day.
That was special wasn't it.
Not to mention cover a snippet of one of his most beautiful songs
@@shwilly I remember practicing Portrait of Tracy for hours when I played bass back in high school. He makes it look effortless.
The way he explained harmonics and ‘false’ harmonics was so refreshingly accurate and accessible. I’m always impressed at a knowledgeable person’s ability to explain things in a way that a simple listener can understand. Humble and descriptive, sans any pretense or unnecessary jargon
@@TravisHansenForPresident BARS
Just a quick shout out to Shuggie Otis, the artist behind the original Strawberry Letter 23. Thanks, Thundercat, for introducing me to Jaco Pastorius. He is very moving.
I saw him front row at Red Rocks a couple years ago and it blew my mind, a true legend!
He looks like a rich teen girls messy room.
Bruh
😂
So specific 👌
why does this make sense HAHAHA
Hahaha
This guy is a poser. He didn't even mention Thundercat's "Them Changes".
That song was truly iconic
you gotta play
Friendzone
Them Changes
Show you the way
in that order to experience greatness
Yeah its almost as if he doesnt know who he is...such a joke.
That bass line took my virginity
@@erikku4739 Friend Zone is hilarious
Never heard of this dude before but I LOVE the way he talks about music.
This guy needs to become a teacher! He explained everything so so well ❤
I never thought I’d see the day Thundercat plays Portrait of Tracy
I teared up, not gonna lie.
Here's the deal: that musical sensibility goes hand in hand with a really sharp mind. This is how he hears (and feels) what he plays and why, I think, he can be so clear about how it works. Amazing.
That' s exactly the difference between a guy playin' an instrument and a musician
Good way too say a lot without saying anything at all 🤡
LOVE seeing Chameleon on here. That whole Headhunters album made me want to play bass. THat album has some of the slickest basslines ever!!
Been playing bass for almost 20 years and now I see how much more I have to learn... Thudercat is a pure legend!
I have no clue who he is, but definitely one of the most pleasantly articulate people I've listened to. He makes me feel like I understand the bass even though I absolutely know nothing about it. I bet he'd be an excellent teacher of any subject.
He started off in Suicidal Tendencies (they did the song “Institutionalized” that you might have heard in one of the Tony Hawk games as a cover) in the 2000’s, and started his own thing just grooving after that.
@@mikeshaver-miller745 wait i thought metallica’s current bassist was the bassist for suicidal tendencies
@@chikinonfrydai I would not know; he DEFINITELY did a solo project though.
@@mikeshaver-miller745 Suicidal had a LOT of different bassists, guitarists and drummers over the years....Mike Muir is probably the only original member left.
@@chikinonfrydai Rob Trujillo of Metallica was the Suicidal Tendencies in the early 90s. Thundercat was their bassist in the 2000s, for about a decade.
Give me a thundercat masterclass now
Enzo Zimmerman was thinking the same thing! And a Raphael Saadiq class
I love the way he knows the music so well his head movements are in time with it.
I love that hes wearing reis clips me too bookie
“If your feel sucks, then you suck” truth.
Jonathan Parker my favorite artist now
Day 1 jazz band
If you told me this was Rick James son I would totally believe you
Your profile pic is the best! I subscribed!
He is
He's not?
thats racist
He actuall kinda looks like a young rick james...a little.
Id love to see a progression of how thundercat has looked throughout the years.
The internet is not complete yet!
"Fine line between funky and disaster." truer words have never been spoken.
Nothing simple about a so called-simple bass line... to nail it in time, to make it groove and to always have those notes in the pocket, not as a easy as some would think.
Its simple compared to other basslines tho
It might be simple, but that does not mean it has to be easy. That's probably why he likes it so much
@@chowmane9584 Is it?
@@timluyten8660 I like this phrasing and will be using it in the future lmao
It is tho, just a couple of notes played in a rhythm and repeated couple of times
The moment when you start explaining how hard a Jaco Pastorius song is to play, and then you play it flawlessly.
Hearing Thundercat talking about my musical legends makes me smile. He sounds like my nephews when auntie pulls out her LPs and gives musical lessons. I get the biggest kick when hours later they are still dusting off albums and just chilling. While I have most of the music on CDs and in my digital library, it is not the same vibe.
OMG, bass lines that blew my mind back in the day--he caught almost all of 'em. Blessings, brother!
Thundercats is by far one of the most grounded musicians out there right now. Can't wait to see what the future holds
Hannes Åström a new album... tomorrow!
The future holds disease and death now. 🎉🦠🤢🎈❤️💨💨💨💨💨💨
Quarantine
Went to his last show before everything shut down. He’s amazing
My man here a weeb, a bassist, and a funk artist.
I found my god incarnate
Fire Emblem Is Trash LoL Amen
Yes
He really is somebody I've come to love and admire lately for these reasons. Funk is my favorite kind of music, bass is the epitome of Funk music because you may need a nice bassline if you wanna create a good Funk song. Bootsy Collins is my favorite bassist ever and a nice bassline is bone-chilling to me. I'm also an anime-head but that takes a backseat to my love for music, Funk music specifically.
I love how excited he looks explaining that Jaco bassline. The twinkle in his eye just makes me so happy
Great interview and bass lines selection. Gotta also love the editing and animations. So on point.
Picks up random P bass, plays Portrait of Tracy... somehow it still sounds like Thundercat
Gotta play that jaco man!!!!
And he does it well! Not easy to play Jaco.
I think P bass pickup placement is on the node of some of those harmonics. J bass bridge pickup can get the higher ones. In case anyone's wondering why the harmonics didn't punch for the artist here, I think that's part of it.
@@uubuuh Also no Compressor probably. Jaco most likely recorded with at least a studio compressor.
Finally somebody gives props to "You're In My System". The electrobass is killin on that track. Thundercat rules on all levels.
Yes!!!
Finally
I love that song so much
One of my favs of all time!
David Frank is slumbered DEEPLY on. Total beast on most System songs.
He explained so well and picked great songs!
This is so great. I’ve played bass in a lot of different styles, but ultimately it was all of these types of songs that made me pick up the bass while all of my friends were getting guitars. Gimme that funk, that fell, that groove. It’s so much fun. I love playing stuff that gets people moving.
You can hear all these records in his playing that’s crazy
One of my favorite things about music is hearing the artist’s influence come through their playing without “biting” the original sound. So amazing.
That's how influence works, genius.
Annie Frank Why you gotta be negative man. Especially on a thundercat video
forreal!
Notice the graphics person passed on trying to transcribe the Jaco piece :D
lol didnt notice
Yeah pretty cool, thought my screen was wet or fogged up.
"i'm not payed enough for this!"
Jaco was garbage.
@@shawnm3839 How could you be so brave? /s
Thundercat has taste. Love his appreciation for players who get to the heart of it, and understand that's transcendent.
The way he explained the role of the bass in songs just unlocked a level of understanding i've never had or considered. It's something i've picked up on lightly without understanding it over the years, but that just straight up made it clear to me.
Totally authentic, articulate, and wise approach to an intimate look into his bass and song writing in general. Love it.
For me, there's something so special about the fact that Portrait of Tracy was once a flurry of activity in Jaco's brain and it has gone on to resonate with so, so many amazing bassists and musicians.
I think you just decribed more or less what all music (or art in general) is.
@@thecooestlguyever True. But there is something special about Jaco, and portrait of tracy, that is just .... special.
Marcos Arnett you’re special :)
I think for context too, that Portrait fit into that album in just a certain way - I think it came after Kuru/Speak Like a Child, the vibe is set and then.... solo bass, Portrait of Tracy... that sound!... back in the day ... we were blown away...
@@uubuuh 100% this. The album sets it up so beautifully. And hearing it and thinking -- that's ONE instrument? and its a BASS?? that is life changing.
Wow, holy CraB, he just oozes authenticity. And his playing is epic, yet so natural and smooth. Great Video. Thank you!!!
He seems like a very experienced guy he knows his instrument very well and what it takes to play good tunes
I'm not very familiar with him except a few songs, but he is probably the coolest guy I've ever seen
@rocket grunt they're not cat ears. They're these things Pilots wear in the anime Neon Genesis: Evangelion
rocket grunt Who cares if it's wack. This guy is a living legend. There's few as good as him, he can afford to be a little wacky.
@rocket grunt homie your channel name is based on pokemon, you can't say anything about cat ears
If you like how Thundercat looks you should check out his friend Kamasai Washington.
@rocket grunt who cares what he wears? What does that have to do with his influence as a musician? (I personally like his fit)
Music is going in the right direction with this cat and so many other artists right now.
It's wild to think about how much talent has flowed through Suicidal Tendencies over the years.
Thank you Pitchfork and Thundercat!!! Brilliant - I enjoyed the insights and learned A LOT!
Man, I could listen to Thundercat talk about music all day.
YO HE GOT THE REI AYANAMI INTERFACE HEADSET
oMG YES I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT
And look awesome
I was wondering what they were, thanks for teaching me something new!
Ian Campbell it’s an interface??
Man thank you so much for highlighting this cat Johnson for me!!! I just followed few of his collaborations and if seems that his is on many many of my favourite tunes!!! I didn’t even knew it was him, and know I know why I loved these songs;))) absolutely fabulous, the guy is my new role model and idol!
Dude is infectious huge reason why I play bass. I’d listen to him talk about anything
The knowledge and passion is high. I listened to an interview with Michael League and it left me feeling the way this did, like I was listening to the words of a person deeply invested in music/art.
Accurate! You see the happiness on the person's face talking about music, that's beautiful!
You remember the interview ?
I just realised SWV may have sampled Portrait of Tracy for their song Rain.
Same!
Just blew my mind
May? They DID. Also, so did Chingy and Tyrese with “pullin me back”.
They DID sample Portrait Of Tracy
@@andrescen7577 I was wondering why that sounded so familiar. my dad played SWV all the time and I know he never listened to Jaco
Thank you. That was an amazing class session.
Hearing him deconstruct Strawberry Letter 23 was a treat. Gave me some new things to think about and listen for and I've listened to that song over and over. Thanks for this video.
