Renaud Garcia-Fons: Bajo de Guia
Renaud Garcia-Fons never ceases to amaze me. Here’s another fantastic performance of his song “Bajo de Guia,” taken from his DVD The Marcevol Concert.
Garcia-Fons has an insane amount of facility on the bass, especially in thumb position. His gypsy/flamenco style proves his rhythmic mastery, which is taken even further with his foot-tapping pattern.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.

Beautiful piece …very creative fretwork .
Gobsmacking!
Ingenious and Insane….Perfect
I love tech too! but if I wasn’t watching the video I would recognize other instruments, very little bass except a few riff’s sounding like something Stanley Clarke would do.
Bummer, that was a breathtaking video and they pulled it from the internet. Wish I had downloaded it when it was there.
