Is that you playing? Nice.

Is that a Tobias? Very nice.

To be honest, I have not the slightest idea of what that is.

well i dont know what bass that is but thats a beautiful bass you got there.

[Radiobass81]

^^ Looks a lot like a Tobias growler.

[Esp Griffyn]

Its Flow my tears!!

How the hell could anyone not know that, its one of the greatest songs ever composed on bass!

[Esp Griffyn]

Btw, that guy was playing too fast. Its slower than that.

[Chameleon]

Wow guys, it's not me! It's just some guy who is on the Bela Fleck forums (I stumbled on them earlier), and I'm not registered there, so I asked here instead. :)

And yeah, it's a Tobias.

I'm much better than that.....ahem....anyway, I fancied learning it, so I wanted to know the name! Thanks! :)

I'm a little late... that's a clip from my website.

I noticed traffic from this site to my videos & I found this link ...

I know I'm playing it fast... but it was only a 15-second max clip on a digital camera so I wanted to get the full phrase in, haha!!

I only recently got around to learning that song...being a Hammfan like me, you'd expect it to be the first!

[irishslappop]

id acually exspect country music or moonlight sonata first....

True, but Flow My Tears (the Policeman said) must come a good third.

...note the Hamm fanatacism in this post.

Is it me, or does Moonlight Sonata sound like *** on the bass? 'Country Music' on the other hand, a bass staple!!

nah, it sounds great!

Dr.Gradus Ad Parnasum is my favourite classical piece by Stu, though...

[EmmSee]

I agree, that is his best... of the recordings I know of his, anyway.

[Phalanx]

ah, everyone knows Country Music by Hamm, I'll have to get round to learning the end some day

[BassPlayingPineapple]

Love Thing is probally my favourite Stu Hamm song, to listen to and play :thumb:

erm, no?

[EmmSee]

erm, no?

Oh well - Just my opinion...

[EADG]

I like Moonlight Sonata on bass, but although it's impressive he took the time to arrange it, I prefer it on piano. The same goes for Dr. Gradus.

I really hate when people play Prelude in C on the piano, it only sounds good on harpsichord to me.

[naut]

now let's see someone play the second movement on bass...

[trumpeter]

now let's see someone play the second movement on bass...

the third is much more impressive (if we are talking about moonlight)

[Mailman]

Oh well - Just my opinion...
Hey, what effect are you running there?

[Wintermute]

The Tenacity of Dreams and Genes always wows me.

I need to get that album... it's the only one I don't have, I think...

Flow My Tears and Love Thang are two of my favourite things to play.

Do you have The Urge?

[Wintermute]

I've got The Urge, Kings of Sleep and Radio Free Albemuth.

I've actually got an original 80s vinyl of Radio Free Albemuth. In mint condition. :)

You need to pick up Outbound friend, there is not a bad song on there.

it's the only one of his solo records I never YSI'd for MX.

Sharp eyed MXers - spot the link between these two statements. :lol:

[Chameleon]

Wowzerz, old thread.

[Wintermute]

Yikes... didn't notice that. :lol:

Emmsee - for future reference, don't bump up old threads. :thumb:

[naut]

so, really, do you guys just sit down, pop in some Hamm...and listen?

[Wintermute]

I usually just keep Winamp on shuffle. It throws up the occasional Hamm track. To be honest, I think that's the best way - if you just listen to one song, you don't get overwhelmed with cheese.

I do like him, I just couldn't listen to a whole album. :)

[naut]

indeed.

tolerable in moderation...but my god, give me The Urge, Kings Of Sleep, and Terminal Beach all in a row...well, that's what we call a "lethal dose" here in the land of the naut.
