As a guitar player, these guys who play 6 and 8 string basses scare the shit out of me. Those bass string are massive and the reach required on those wide necks is just freaky wide. This bloke is wicked by the way!
I play 5 string bass and I can't understand how you guitarists play with such thin strings and narrow string spacing! Guess it's just a matter of getting used to an instrument.
Young man is truly gifted, I would like to see him play and reap the rewards like these "Rappers", who know oh so little music and the "Quality of his Craft"!!!

A year later and after somewhere between my 40th and 50th time viewing this video, I am still fascinated at what I consider to be a flawless and charismatic performance of unique style, technique, and originality! Earl is so good that I've noticed that he either inspires other bass players or discourages them! At the time of the recording of this video, this was a hell-a-vah level to have achieved at the age of 18! Those who have ears, let them hear!
A bass instrument in the hands of a master like this guy is one of the sweetest sounds, whether it is solo or is being accompanied. I guess it's to each his own.
This has been one of the most intriguing bass seletions and executions there of I have ever heard in my life and I'm a bass player of 48 years! That's was original and very well done!!!!!
Probably the sweetest and most pleasant bass solo I've heard. I wish more bass solos were like this instead of jumpy ones. I didn't recognize "Give thanks with a grateful heart"; I thought he was playing a love song.
I never heard nobody at the Guitar Center give it up like this! What Earl is doing is giving us something and I, for one, appreciates it! After all, why do we develop our gifts that God gave us? Do we call it showing off or is a tool to lift spirits? In the bible David played a stringed instrument for a grieving King Saul and it brought him out of grieving! I am delighted every time I view this video and hear this incredible piece of mastery and I visit often because it's in my favorites!
Hey no problem man, from the perspective of someone who grew up listening to gospel/hymns in an African-American environment this solo/piece really touches home. The way he puts together the chords and melody is very skillful and brings out the emotion of the song. I think it always nice to have positive dialog, your view point is well taken. Check this out if you ever have time "Give thanks Anaysha Figueroa" Have a blessed week man.
Wow!!! I love seeing real musicians make positive statements about this incredible bassist!!! What Earl has displayed in this beautiful rendition is a master piece of creativity that I have not seen in a yet unknown bassist from South Africa making a mark and blessing us with this entertaining piece! God bless you, Earl!!!
Well not only did he show you he could play chords and make them sound real good he also shows you that he can pick around as well. Honestly it sounds good.
Man I hate when people respond to these videos w/negative comments if you don't have anything good to say just look at something else like the back of your eye lids... To the young man playing bass in this video I don't know you but just want to encourage you to always GIVE THANKS in all you do!!! GOD BLESS!
I almost thought he was the NBA's Steph Curry! I was like "wow, he plays bass too"! Dude sounds good, not sure why so many people are so critical of his playing.
I agree with you 100%. It annoys me so much when people try to tear others down with negativity. Its far better to say something edifying, than to be negative.
What mad about it. He's just messing around. This guy is good. As far as a superior player and soloist is concerned, check out Federico Malaman who is arguablys one of the finest bass players in the world today.
We're all different and will see things differently! I couldn't care less about his rig or what brand of bass he's playing, the guy is unique and extraordinary! I'm still amazed after watching this video over 30 times! He's original because I haven't heard anybody that he sounds like or sounds like him! It wouldn't matter what bass or bass rig he's playing out of, EARL CAN PLAY!!!!!!!
I'm from Uruguay, and I can tell that there are some tango and zamba * vibes in this solo. I'm pretty sure that this guy would enjoy listening to Atahualpa Yupanqui and many zamba and tango guitar players. * Argentinian folk music, not to be confused with Brazilian samba
This video displays this guy's incredible talent to play without a band and not how he plays with his band. His band was right there and appeared to be as entertained as most of us who view this video! Cairnchilo tells us Earl is Lira's bass player! Check Lira, the kid is nice and in the pocket! It's nice to have tools that you can use, though, when you're in a concert and doing a medley of hits!
Hey, Earl! Thanks for blessing us with that extraordinary piece! It is amazing! Also thank Cairnchilo for me for hooking it up! I'm still blown away by this video as the first time every time I check it!
Ive been playing the guitar and bass for over 30 years....This guy is not out of Tempo, groove etc.....He just being nasty and filthy or as some of yo'all would say, "incredibly awesome"... love it bruh! Mil Gracias.
Thank you Tony. Reading this back, I'd like to add that I make a difference between mastering MUSIC and mastering an instrument. A bass is a wooden plank with some vibrating metal attached. Learning to make that plank do what you want is just a motor skill which any heatlhy determined person can master over time. Mastering music as a whole, is something different and infinitely more complicated. I think MuscleDad talks about mastering music while drudeken means mastering the bass guitar.
Checked it! No disrespect to a very good bass player but it ain't nothing out of the ordinary! Sounds like Jaco using an effects box! What?!! This cat, Earl, has blessed us with an enchanting performance unique from the ordinary! We're watching and listening to a champion bassist with "mad" charisma! You critics, who don't wanna give him his due props, try playing on a whim, on camera to an audience, without a band, and with only a first take! Earl, you are man! Thanks for that, Cairnchilo!
So true, I like to think of a bass as a pyramid. You have a great structured piece of architecture. The bass being the flat bottom of the pyramid providing a grounding and a firm support for those above. You can of course flip the pyramid and balance it on it's point once and a while for show ( Bass solos, other pieces ) but to much showmanship of this can lead to the fall of the pyramid. Bassist deserve a little more respect in my mind and your comment hit the nail on the head ;)
Give thanks for he has risen, Jesus Christ, his son, And now, let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am weak because of what the Lord has done. Give Thanks. God bless you sir. that song and ur skills are such a blessing to me.
Apart from the jazz solo slot, up until the 1970s bassists had to stick to being the rhythm section foundation, but the advent of the synthesizer saw the bassist freed up to experiment with different roles - percussive and melodic - so you had the emergence of Stanley Clark and Mark King who could play freely while the synth did the foundational work. Now the bassist can play a whole song as a feature, something that really started with Jaco. This is a nice rendition of a praise song.
+boxingfred Because that's what morons always put in their UA-cam titles to get hits, despite the fact that the video in question is almost always disappointing and not that good, very much like this one.
+scubapig Actually this was one of the non disappointing video's... It gave exactly what promised. Although slang this was most definitely a bassist with mad skill lol. You must be fun at parties though seriously
+scubapig Actually this was one of the non disappointing video's... It gave exactly what promised. Although slang this was most definitely a bassist with mad skill lol. You must be fun at parties though seriously
1. The octave range on a bass is similar to a piano. Right in the sweet spot. Notes low enough to play good rhythm and notes high enough to play good lead. 2. If you're referring to the fact that he's using a six string bass, you have to take into consideration that they're not tuned like a guitar. It's BEADGC instead of EADGBe. 3. The guy might have grown up on the bass.
all i mean is that if it was a guitar it would sound really nice than just a bass plonking away. i'm all for experimentation and stuff but original is sometimes best, ie 6 string guitar and 4 string bass they work because they work.
fooman65 that's your opinion. I like how he's using a 6-string bass like this. It has a piano-like vibe to it and it sounds nice and full. But I can't force anything on you. To each his own. Right?
yeah, fair play mate, I used to play bass in bands and liked the old 4 string job, slung low down. But I like messing around with new music tech on computers, it's all this diversity that makes us human I guess?
Sheeeeitt!!! This guy is a master! Hell! I'm a pretty good bassist and is considered great by many but I have not come close to this comfort level of mastery as this kid! In my opinion, he is on top of one of the greatest on the earth without a name!!! I don't know what it is with these young black Latinos! I saw a video of an 11 year old cat (black Latino) almost on this guy's level! Whew! Say what you want, this guy is a beast!
Love that Trace Elliot tone!!!! His rig is almsot the same as my TE rig. I have the all tube V4 head on top of the 10's and a 15" bottom. It look's like this guy has replaced his drivers with Hartke drivers. Still sounds really good.
Yo! My man is "BUSTING" a 6 string "CORT" ARTIST along with a "TRACE ELLIOT" bass rig! You this dude sounds great! Love the crisp and clean sound of the rig and bass combination. "COST EFFECTIVE" to a certain point. I like this video. Thanks for a job well done. Coop' Bass "4" Life :)
This guy is clearly just warming up with a Hymn before his gig. It doesn't mean he's showing off. Some people just like to play chords on bass to stretch. I'm sure if he's about to play for someone's group or band he definitely NEEDS to have a serious pocket! By the way...HE'S CRAZY NICE!!!
I'll be brief!!! He's not a guitarist, he's a bassist that don't sound like anybody else I've ever heard! The best will never be anymore than an opinion! I like him as well as Victor, Marcus, or Jaco!
Finally! Somebody gets it! I'd rather be a true musician than just a "role player" who only does what's expected of them. It's that kind of small-minded thinking that causes players to not advance artistically and musically. It's all about learning as much as you can about music, regardless of your instrument of choice and then representing the music you love(no matter the style) on your chosen instrument.
Woow wooow wooow !!!Im just wowed! How come there s no comment on this vid ??? Whats happening here is sick and stupid! IT reminds me a lil bit Cedric Patterson chord style and progressions. There's so much work out there. Didn't Know you yet Earl before this video. but wanna say it's a real pleasure. Thank God I came across masterpiece! so much inspiring.
As a guitar player, these guys who play 6 and 8 string basses scare the shit out of me. Those bass string are massive and the reach required on those wide necks is just freaky wide.
This bloke is wicked by the way!
I play 5 string bass and I can't understand how you guitarists play with such thin strings and narrow string spacing! Guess it's just a matter of getting used to an instrument.

Cracks me up every time.
I don't think this guy is black though.Probably mixed:)
no that's black he would have different features if mixed

* Argentinian folk music, not to be confused with Brazilian samba

I love this video. Very beautiful playing. I come back to watch this regularly. Much love from a low frequency bro in Alaska)
I simply refuse to watch bass videos where the bass has more than 4 strings.
If iTS tuned like D E A D G its ok i think
They use those basses with more than 4 strings only because they think it makes them look cool.
+WarthDader74 what if because them basses give us more range of tones to explore?
Ryan Triadhitama Those tones from the thinner strings, belongs to ordinary guitars. Not basses.

There's no right or wrong way to play an instrument; he's just playing what he feels like the rest of us.
Really soulful and good playing!
Very good, he play the bass like a guitar, i really like his musical style and it is a live! in the studio he will be a very god of the bass!
This guy is clearly just warming up with a Hymn before his gig. It doesn't mean he's showing off. Some people just like to play chords on bass to stretch. I'm sure if he's about to play for someone's group or band he definitely NEEDS to have a serious pocket! By the way...HE'S CRAZY NICE!!!
"Give Thanks"....................Awesome.....
That was SWEEEEET! I can't reach across a six string fret board let alone play like that!
I'll be brief!!! He's not a guitarist, he's a bassist that don't sound like anybody else I've ever heard! The best will never be anymore than an opinion! I like him as well as Victor, Marcus, or Jaco!

It's the same with sophisticated humor. Some people get it, others don't. :)
This guy's pretty awesome. Particularly the tapping and chord work.
Awesome job, and great tone on that bass.
That was very cool and original. I never heard a jazzy chord melody played on the bass like that. This guy's got major chops.
