stank in new york… derrick hodge, marcus miller, mononeon, victor wooten
(at Blue Note New York)
When Victor Wooten takes a picture of you playing bass. You might be pretty good.
A solo so good that Victor Wooten had to take a video😂
IKR!?
Holy crap I didn't even notice that! Haha amazing
thought the same! lol
Prince, Mavis Staples, John Scofield, George Clinton....now Marcus Miller, Derrick and Wooten.
Mono is playing with so many greats! Deserved
Don't forget that he's Eddie Murphy's favorite UA-camr.
@@jansenart0 and that´s the most interesting part. He began as a UA-camr, making funny videos. And people started calling him to play, because they noticed he is a great musician.
Not only Eddie Murphy John Mayer also
Chapelle has given his endorsement as well!
Theyre playing with mono
As a visual artist, writer, and musician, this just made me smile to my core. I am passionate about all my art, in any mode of expression. Mono Neon's passion and skill for his art makes me want to work harder and harder on my own work--even though at 61-years-old and as a disabled veteran, I get tired a lot quicker than this talented young man does. I thank you, Mono Neon, from the bottom of my heart for the inspiration. NEVER LOSE THAT PASSION. My passion for my art brought me back from decades of a horrible life with PTSD. Art is the best medicine in the world! Be well, my brother!
Glad you're back!!!
Thank you for your service!☝🏾😎
As a heroin junky and Battle Bots historian, I concur.
Thank you for sharing your experience 💪🏽
You're never too old. Keep going Bro. I am 62 and re-starting to play the piano that I stopped when I was in my early twenties. And sure enough people like Mono give us the motivation to carry on.
I don’t give the guy enough credit due to how I imagine a “bassist” should be, or shutting myself off due to one’s style of clothing, and I am a fool for it.
That was awesome!
dont know how many times i have watched this. and how many more time am yet to watch
Those guys who say “MonoNeon is out there” and laugh at the end of the clip summarize this perfectly
Cannot stop listening to that lick at :29. Its like acid country. Amazing.
My 🐐. This man never plays mindless notes. Such a giant in his own right. Stage full of greats! Cheers
All those funky legends on one stage. How did the building walls stay up? How did the very foundation not just crack? Wow.
Yo bro!!??? Where you taking us???? That's some old, Captain Kirk, Star Trek Enterprise shit!?!?!?!
Mind blowing!!!
Best solo ever.. He transport me to some Adventures ' Time universe. This starting from some dub, classics, oriental sounds to blues is Just blowing mind. Too sweet🎉❤
That was beautiful. When Victor Wooten stops playing to take a video of you, that's a moment of satisfaction that can't be topped.
I listened to this several times. He just raised the bar of funk to another dimension.....damn!
Most underrated channel on UA-cam
True
Mono… you just hear different. 🙌🏾
Victors smile and thumbs up, lifetime achievement award
Dope. Victor was def feelin that. Marcus Miller holdin it down too. I love the false harmonics and harmonic slides
As a bassist in music college stressing over exams, this stuff helps me to get back into flow. Keep going no matter what muaicians, its gonna be worth it in the end 🤘
MAN!!!! What a solo!
It was brilliant you chose a different voice from Vic, Marcus and Derrick. Everything you did sounded explosive. Mono for president!
Prince be smilin' from heaven
Mono put some stank on it! That was incredible!
Incredible scenes
Mono is pushing the limits there aren't any boundaries on him. He's doing what ever he wants, Creatively his bass playing is unique very fresh his vibe is Avant-garde alien style totally out of the Box💯. My personal opinion everybody on that stage with him as good as they are he's light years ahead of them Creatively.
He is taking the bass to new places. His playing is so free and imaginative.
Very funky and imaginative at the same time. Unique.
MonoNeon is just Messy - and he's here blessing us with creativity and beautiful B-lines now in the Present.
BEAST.
There is a new sheriff in town 🙌🔥
That IS FUNK !!!
I believe the earth Axis Shifted just so Mono Neon can exist Here while still chillin from His own upside down right side up strings on backwards Dimensional
Bass crocheted Reality
I love that he has absorbed a lot of the weird flavor from what Prince usually would do on electric guitar, and take it even further. Songs like The Ride (live version) and Erotic City has some of that weirdness.
The first moment I saw you I knew that this guy had something up his sleeve , your ideas basswise are frankly incredible !! You are an exceptional artist !!!
FIYA 🔥🔥.
Yaaasss guitars 🎸 ARE SPEAKING LOUD AND CLEAR.
Legit living legend right here. I won’t say who because we are all one.
You make Memphis proud 👏🏾 my guy
You are an amazing artist! This solo is sooooo funky, original and creative. Love it!!!!!
Mono, I hope you know that these leaders are looking for leadership and you Sir, have their attention. Just keep your head on top them shoulders and be consistent and humble. Your doing great. I admire you and I need you as a leader. The world is going to get worse before it's gets better. But the light is always available. And the world we need and fight for is in reach. Be mighty in Jesus name.
You have to living bass legends & 2 up and coming bass legends!!! All on the same stage respecting the art and culture of such a classic record which MM wrote the track and produced the album!!!
Mono Neon just OWNING it!!!
You’re a legend 2 mono!
Damn Victor Wooten and mono neon!!!! I’d be honored and absolutely nerve racked at same time on stage. Victor Wooten pulls out his phone to film it!?!? I can just die happy now!!!!
mononeon: first man who shit don't stank.
Sick!! Crushing'
Wow, you were with them Mono!! Love it.
Can't wait to see you in Newport!!!
Mono saying you are great or wonderful is an understatement..... we don’t know what to say anymore to accurately describe you
Every vid I watch justifies the mono neon T-shirt I bought! You should be very proud mono!
Nice Going dude! Living the dream!
MonoNeon is just limitless... if just Miles could meet him with this here! Dope!!! And look at Victor´s face, I mean he is no slouch but Mono really made him (and the others) LISTEN ;-)
That's wussup. Big respect and continued elevation always mane. Bless up.
Bro, to give Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, and Derrick Hodge the "stank face" is such an honor.
This is great man! I'm super happy for you!
Put your foot in that. Even the OGs was impressed 👌🏾
Shiiiiiiiieeeeet that’s good!!!!
Wicked Mono you nailed it good.
Like others have said, unique.
Never heard you before, I like it.
Neon u are a freak of nature and the creator that created the heavens and the universe created a funky masterpiece of creativeness that even he himself would say well done my brutha. U are a once and a life time artist. You stay humble and funky. The world needs more cats like you to show that silliness sometimes is what we need. U made music fun for me again Thank ya sir.
Now I wanna see MonoNeon play Sitar.
some of your finest playing! and that's saying something. Forever inspiring man!
This is great! Thanks for helping me take my stank face to the next level!
Loving your progress from the Prince days.
Mononeon, an absolute legend!
Thanks for the great advice Neon! That there's some good shiet right there mane! 👌🏼
That octave wah life. Super BOSS.
Nooo lo puedo creer mi😮😮😮 my favorite bassits toghether Amazing.
They all love you, Mono. Of course, we *all* do. They know a soon-to-be legend when they see one.
1:15 A brand new era dawns. The torch is passed... cuz he had to get this on video.
OMG God!!! Met Mono Neon on Father’s Day last year in RVA! A cool cat!!!!!!!!!!! He was killing it!!!!!
I saw Brotha MonoNeon perform here in Detroit in 2019. Taking Bass to another level, great musician!
I enjoy this n other projects
Back in the day stuff, absolutely brilliant.!
So many dynamics in your solo jah bless
Mono "the King" Neon !!!!!
Miles would've loved this!!!
Spread that sheit around, my man🤙🏼❤️👽
J H C that was BAD. Respect dude. Sweet you got to play with those guys.
They are lucky to share the stage with you. You legend.
Uh... other way around bud... Marcus/Victor, Legends, Facts! The rest, legends in the making. D would agree, also Facts.
@@JTonthedrums I was being sarcastic... but positive at the same time :) we all know who the legends are. Still a lot of potential legends in the making lately. Davie, Charles Berthoud, Thundercat, Esperanza Spalding... more bass players to join consolidated legends like Flea, Les Claypool, Jaco, Bootsy, Carol Kaye, Leland Skylar, James Jamerson... etc... It's all good!
@@JTonthedrums Joe effin' Dart too...
Mono Neon best bass player ever.
Just sickening 🔥🔥🔥
First time I’ve clicked on your vids and heard you play. I wanted to see how you did and you did a nice job. Good for you. I play guitar and can only imagine how special it is to have an opportunity to jam with players you look up to.
The Bass World is Yours Now MonoNeon!!
Surreal. Congratz
“History WILL repeat itself “🎯
Holy shiet! Vic is diggin' that shiet!
Mono Neon, you are the shiet!!!! No question! This is one of the greatest bass solos I have heard and I hope I can hire you to play on an upcoming recording project.
I just see legends all across the board here
Welcome to the big league Fam 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man, I dig your greasiness. Makes sense too me, on a sonic/symbolic level that you are standing in between Vic and Marcus, my personal patron saint of uptown sophisti-funk. And Vic is like the Playful, unbound, joyfull... but technically exact... I love them both, but it's MM's tone and vibe, and the pocket that movs me ... like Reggie Washington with Steve Coleman and five elements track Flynn.. minimal funk high concept - I could listen to Reggie play that simple groove for hours... and have... what's my point... squirrel... you Sir Neon, are all that - while simultaneously being a confrontationally warm dadist performance artist. I so deeply respect your un waving dedication to your own vision. It has taken me years to stop giving a fuck - long story - had to give up music and try and pretend I was nerotypical for a few years... but my "mask" wasn't fuzzy like yours, again , the aesthetic choices you have made, beyond the music is some next level capital A art. I'm a multi potentialite, which just a less pretentious way of saying "renaissance man.", and takes the gender bias out... anyway.. wish were neighbors. Peace
WOW ...innovator
I didn’t connect the dots and recognize the bassline until 2:12. 😯 “Tutu,” my favorite Marcus Miller tune.
Lol! Mono Neon-- you are self-deprecating, which means you are a wise man, and as dangerous as anyone on that stage!!
Real recognize real!!
Fresh!
So glad you did!
He is creating.
It’s cool when it happens.
O yeah y'all rocking it! 👍
Yes. Nice! Well done. 🎸
MONO, YOU KILLED THEM SHITS MAN!
total goat
bravo maestro
Crazy !!!
