Does anyone care?
damn he gets good quick
had my bass guitar already sitting in my lap when i clicked on this video, ended up learning all the licks by ear for fun
Lisa should know that Homer is a musician, he's been in Sadgasm and The Be Sharps.
+Alexis Lopez And that doesn't make him a musician?
+Yimello Lisa played bass in "Whacking Day", so I don't know why she didn't offer to teach Homer.
nowadays' simpsons writers don't know shit about the show. plus they are white guilt idiots and made the simpsons 1/60 black in an act of absolute fucktardation
whats wrong with that
They have sitcom.memory. like Groundhog day.
2:36 woah Homer actually learned scales?
"Music is sooo easy"
He even played a song after that lol
@@ozanozenir2503 Kinda reminds of Bleach by Nirvana.
@@Ihavenoname0 the is love will travel by the sonics
he was improving really quickly. Leave it to a woman to crush a mans dreams XD
For Homer, this was honestly really impressive!
i love the effect when he taps the string and his entire body just starts to wobble :D
"Dude your already one of the greatest bass players of all time!"
SuperLegoBuilder09 to be fair he's not wrong
No Land Beyond
Oh yeah?
Lemmy kilmester

The Crimson fucker so true

Lemmy Actually Isn't Good At All
Geddy Lee and Billy Sheehan are awesome bass players, and the list of players above is quite confusing. Sounds like you just named your favourite bands.
I think marge really is part of the problem, whenever homer does useful, she always tears him down.
O,h, you know Marge is into drummers and roadies.
@@richardperry8262 wait...but then...Bart...😳
@@markhynes1940 😳😳😳🥵🥵🥵
Like most women
Wait until he wants to get a five string bass, and Marge goes, "why did you get another bass, you already have one?"
i love how he progressively gets better lmaooo
Starting and learning to play and instrument really is one the greatest thing
Mans even learned his Scales. I’m proud of homer
I’m proud of this guy too ua-cam.com/video/DqZS89jFCFg/v-deo.html
0:57 if the guitar guy knew his stuff, he’d be complimenting Homer for talking while still playing in time
He did tell him that he's one of the greatest bassists of all time
Love how Homer actually practices & gets better & better.
I was so happy to see a Rickenbacker as the scene zoomed out. Such a lovely bass.
I love how every time Homer gets interested in something, it becomes his new obsession. And he drives everyone crazy about it, and takes it everywhere with him. 😄
TIL homer has ADHD
@@petepyrotechnic6150 my first thought as well after reading this comment
@Pete Pyrotechnic Makes sense since Bart also has it and ADHD is hereditary.
Is that not normal? Uh oh 🫢
The episode where Lisa's saxophone gets stolen and Homer replaces it with a jug is pretty good. He keeps making her play that sweet sweet hoedown music.
Dude, youre like already one of the best bass players of all time lol
*you're
lol the truth lies before me
Wow 50 likes!!! My comment just became famous! Wow
+JLH CREATIONS dude, you're like already one of the most famous people in all of UA-cam!
+Omar Ramirez wow! What an honor!
I love how Homer was testing the sound in his car that’s good detail
If Homer Simpson can play the guitar, then i should give it a try
this hurts my gut with laughter and my soul with truth.
"Weak womanly fingers of a guitar princess" lmao
And played guitar himself(? Lmao
Funny, I have the weak, womanly fingers and I play bass, and the two strongest guys play guitar! Totally the opposite of ZZ-Top.
Ikr, go tell that to Zakk Wylde
LazyPick that man is a beast
I am a guitar player and I do have slim fingers but my hands are massive and my grip is hella strong.
I love that he’s actually getting better as he goes instead of harping on “yOuR a LeGeNdArY bAsSiSt By PlAyInG oNe NoTe”
Anyyone whos ever started playing an instrument knows this feeling you can't put it down.
as a bassist i can relate and say that this is what happens when a bass is in the house
2:42 that actually sounds amazing
It’s Pipefitter’s club house by Odds, on the album Tribute to hard core logo. This is the best audio I can find ua-cam.com/video/TW8WVxuUjs4/v-deo.html HQ version
@@brodiemacleod69 does anyone know where to find the bass tabs to this song?
@@maxsavage7679 Yes a guy named Adrian Mojica made tabs for the whole video, he's in comments section. He's one of the top on the comments list.
Andrew Lee 0 0 3 5 5 3 0 0 3 5 6 5 3 Play it on the a string
Max Savage on the a string: 0 035 530035653
Must be hard to play guitar and bass with only 3 fingers
Cameron Ronan Welsh Beast people play guitar with their feet I'm sure it's not that bad
Bass don't easy
there is a 3-fingers technique actually, where your pinky and ring fingers act like one
Omg I found my old account 😂
@@JonnySublime i can not even play with my fingers.not mentioning feet
The fact that Homer has drank a beer 3 feet away with one of the best and most recognizable bassist in history but still couldn’t recall him
Stupid writers
Now he can learn to play endless, nameless
Anyone else that's bothered by the fact that he plucks the highest string (G) but the sound of the E string is played at 0:30?
Well, Jimi Hendrix played with his guitar the other way around. In this case, Homer's bass is still the right-side up. Oh well, I guess it's not that big a deal, I suppose the animators just decided to animate it this way lol
+Aaron Nitro I agree that is sooo fake and unrealistic....Sincerely, Wil E. coyote and every other cartoon character.
ryan49er1
Haha, okay that's a good point
Yes honestly
What are we supposed to believe, that this is some kind of magic guitar?
Homer: *starts having fun and really gets good at it*
Marge: "WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!"
yup...
Every musicians wife when you want to go full time.
Every girl when a guy starts to be happy
Stay single Brother... No woman is getting n the way of my Strat
Maybe turn the amp down a bit
Yeah! 😆
It was my situation in Summer of '86! 😃
...but it was my brother (guitarist) who suggested me to play bass and who went to the store to buy one.
...and I had (and, luckily, still have) some more hair than Homer on my head! 😆
