Every time I watch a video by Dominic “Forest” Lapointe, it’s sure to blow me away. This one is no exception. Here’s the fretless 6-stringer playing through “Nothing is Everything” by Death. The track comes from their 1993 album Individual Though Patterns, which was originally played by fellow fretless metal player Steve DiGiorgio.

In 2006, Jeff Beck’s group took the stage at the North Sea Jazz Festival, with Randy Hope Taylor on bass, Jason Rebello on keys and Vincent Colaiuta on drums. During the performance, Stanley Clarke joined the band to perform Clarke’s tune “Lopsy Lu” (with Taylor continuing to hold it down, and a little Hendrix thrown in). Enjoy!

The Jonathan Scales Fourchestra has released a second video from their latest album, Mixtape Symphony, and it’s a killer. Bassist Cody Wright locks in with drummer Phill Bronson to set the tune up with a great groove and ear-bending melodic content. Hold on to your hat.

On March 18, 1974, Rush released their self-titled debut. Among the tracks on the album was “Working Man”, which was the tune that put them on the map in Cleveland, as the story goes. In 2008, the band discovered an alternate version of the tune which they dubbed “Working Man (Vault Edition)”, and they allowed it to be used in...

Any time I get an email from Aaron Gibson with a new video, I watch it right away. And every time I watch, I want to share with you all ASAP. In this new video, Aaron is performing his tune “Silly Me”. The tune will be the first track on his “demos” series he plans to release before his next...

Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner is a phenomenal bassist with a singular voice. Here’s a video from the first episode of the online music series “Off Main St,” which features the bassist performing his song “Lotus and the Jondy.” The song is from his second album Apocalypse. If you dig this, make sure to check out the rest of the episode:

Solo bassist Jesús Rico Pérez shared yet another incredible video with us. On this tune, Jesús starts with an Ebow, making his bass sound flute-like in this Michael Manring-inspired piece. Jesús has released his album, Scars – Solo Bass Guitar. Check it out on Bandcamp.

When Victor Wooten was on tour in support of Sword & Stone and Words & Tones, my daughters and I caught a show in Falls Church, Virginia. Before that performance, Victor invited us to hang out with him and some of the other band members on the tour bus. I’ve often wished I could have recorded that conversation, which was...

The Kala U-Basses are a blast to play, but Ben Rouse takes things up a notch with his performance of Bach’s “Cello Suite No.1 – Prelude”. Ben shared this video with us and said he loves how the tune sounds on the U-Bass, which he’s running through a Fishman Loudbox mini acoustic amp.

Adrian Maruszczyk (the bassist on the right) shared this video with us of a blues duet he did with bassist Arnold Ogrodnik. It isn’t often you see bass played with a slide, but I dig it. How about you?

When Flemming shared Kenneth Dahl Knudsen’s video of the tune “Tucked In”, I became an instant fan. Kenneth has just shared a video of his new large ensemble in a live performance of “Light Unfolds”. So so good.

We’ve featured the trio of bassist Michael League, organist Cory Henry and drummer Nathaniel Townsley before (see their performance of “Continuum” after you watch this one). Here they are performing a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Creepin’”. Oh yeah.
