Fernando Molinari: “Taffontry 20mg” Country/Fusion Slap Bass
Yes, you read that right: Country/Fusion slap bass.
Brazilian bassist Fernando Molinari posted this play-along of the song “Taffontry 20mg” from his album Identidade, which is kind of like a honky tonk song on speed.
More of the fusion part of the equation comes out at 1:55 when Molinari plays some blazing tapping lines in unison with the guitar. I’m surprised his fingers didn’t start smoking by the end!
Excuse my ignorance but is that technique called double thumbing or is it something else ( I need to learn). I mean the beginning part not the insane tapping part… Thanks :-)
That was MIGHTY impressive, Fernando.
Thank you for sharing my video! =D
man, that’s crazy! soak you fingers in some epson salt when you’re done. whew!
fun music!
This was inevitable! Good job.
