Although the video itself has been edited, this is a completely LIVE track with myself playing the bass AND the keyboards AT THE SAME TIME!! No studio tricks, no multi tracks - this is the real deal. There are mistakes during the recording that we were unable to fix - again due to the nature of this being live. The keyboard solo (around 2:10) also was not as planned but my goal was to show what we were able to do live. My favorite part is displaying a technique I've come up with for 'slapping' the bass one handed. It is shown at 1:58 on the video. My one handed bass technique is the result of many years of honing the skill AND the quality and set-up of the bass I use. While I'm able to play one handed on most basses, I set mine up using highly "active" pick-ups, low action, and special coated strings. This combination allows the instrument to ring out when I 'tap' each string and allows the slides and pops to come through that otherwise would not be heard using a normal bass.While many people are skeptics, I assure you this is not a hoax. Internet video plus editing allows for the creation of just about anything but is an honest live video and what you see in the base track of the video IS what's being recorded (minus the normal video compression lag). The other screen shots were taken later to showcase the multi-tasking. This has been my signature style of playing live for more than 8 years. Those close to Milwaukee have seen me perform live displaying my techniques - but I wanted to share my talent with the world so we shot a video.Thanks for watching!!For more info or to listen to more of my creations, please check out www.mitchcooper.com.Thanks for your support!
