I could live in that room. Imagine his collection of basses and the history that live amongst.

I love you John , you are an inspiration yesterday, today and forever.... god bless you and your family

Does John put his soul into this piece or what? For a left handed man, he surely has strong and coordinated right fingers. Beautiful work John Patitucci. I can't even recall what I was thinking about before I heard this. Had to play it twice. Thank you for sharing your work so freely.

Handedness does not translate to skill or coordination with an instrument.

@@douglasdiggins8296 Not implied. He has a strong right hand for a born lefty. It is physically challenging for some left handed players to pick well. Especially so when first learning the instrument. I'm strongly left handed and play right handed basses. It was hard work building my left had up. I play well but it did not come easily.

@@nunyabidnez7857 Thank you. I thought I payed a nice compliment to a great bassist. In fact I'm sure I did.

When I was a young lad my Mom used to always say about a great musician, "Wow, they really can make that instrument talk." That always stuck with me. To make your music speak to an audience. After all, it is a language. John is the epitome of an exceptional musician. He most certainly spiritually communicates to us with his music and his bass playing. Especially, as displayed here. What an incredible voice. Beautiful note choices and feel. He truly can make his instrument talk. Great music.

So much soul and feeling and mastery of style! My mind went to the bluesy original music from New Orleans. Thank you my friend for this inspirational and great tune! Lovely!

Mr.Patitucci, you have been my bass hero since I was a highschool boy. Always thank you for your videos and playing. ♥️from Japan.

Man, the feels on this one. Your work has inspired me for decades, John. Thank you. ❤

For me it started with "Mistura Fina" ('95), so much great music throughout the years ...

I've never played upright, but I see much of the physicality that is described with the instrument. It seems like a dance with the instrument as much as a song.

So true. I’ve been playing six months upright after years of bass and the pain is excruciating. I know it’s just bad technique but still not easy to fix.

Excellent Mr

I attended a clinic you gave in Miam Dade College back around 1992. You've been a great influence on my playing since. You are the bassist encyclopedias should have a picture of when describing what it means to be one. Your technique is flawless on both electric and acoustic but your tone and your melodic phrasing is what I still strive to achieve. You are a great influence. Thank you!

Oh John! That’s just like chocolate mate… love the glissando doubles and the excellently weighted pauses…

Thank you for sharing this video! So nice to see you playing at your home studio! 🙂 Hope to see many more videos in the future! I wish you all the best!

I am left speechless. That bass literally sings the blues. The tone, the dynamics. Who needs a guitar 😝

Wowzer! That TONE!😘😘

You can hear every decade of the blues in that. Love it!

Nice space, very nice bass, and of course a soulful performance.....thanks

I'm taking a picture of this video and will use it to turn my shed space into something the looks exactly like this space. The wood panel walls are reflecting and kicking the bottom of the bass back up to his ears. The effect is intimate.... like wearing headphones. Thanks Uncle John.

Great John, un abbraccio from Italy

Fantastic as always, John. I love seeing that vintage B-15 in the corner too.

It's funny, the very first "rig" my parents bought me when I started playing bass in 1974 was a used Gibson EB-3 bass and a used Ampeg B-15 amp from our local music store. Of course, when I went off to college in 1981, stupid me thought "I want all new fancy gear", so I sold both and bought an Ibanez bass and a Music man amp. Now 41 years later I would KILL to get that first rig back! 🤣

Beautiful! What a sound, what a musician, what a composer...

Божественная игра!!! Браво!!!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful music

Un velouté musical 💤✨👌

What a beautiful, soul stirring, groove bomb of a powerful tune. Wow! I love you Mr. Patitucci and love your music that has inspired me for decades since my teenage years. Thank you!

Great tune, John. Thanks for sharing and for your contribution to bass players and jazz overall. May God bless you!

Wonderful! And what a nice room.

beautiful John. Always in awe of your playing, even when you were a mudshark. Always loved you and your family, regards, John X.

Such a correct bass lines and solos maker... I've learned so much from you, sir... Great salute from Spain... Keep creating, please...

Love it John! The blues is strong in so many ways and you’re bringing it such a great voice here.

I am going to be transcribing this one for sure.

Amazing - the intonation is man! Lol I’ll get to this level soon. John, Brian and Christian are my motivation to master the upright as an electric bass player.

“Practicing bass lines alone in my room is boring” yeah sure… thanks for this inspiring one.

Bravissimo! ...Unico!

I really❤ur playing and total command of ur instrument!! Inspiring

I saw him playing a gig one time and his picking fingers were bandaged. Yet he just kept playing and playing.

Nothing to add, sir. You said it all! Thank you for many years of inspiration.

That was really really beautiful! 💙

So-so fine feeling

Incredible. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Great song and performance! Love the Ampeg Portaflex sitting in the corner listening..

Thank you for sharing. Your blues playing is always on point.

Beautiful home setup bro ...

Love his music! What an inspirational musician!

I watch that vid from japan with John, Chick, and Vinnie about once a week. These guys are on a level I can't even consider, really.

That had me hooked from the get go

So great master! ✌🏽

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. 🙌

To me, this sounds a lot like deep, deep southern swamp blues. Reminds me of Justin Johnsons Bottleneck playin. Very soulful. Thank you!

Such great playing. I studied with your guitarist, Steve Cardenas for a while years ago. Can’t wait to see you live again

Wonderful John, thanks for sharing 💚

Magical!

Thank you John for sharing and for sharing your wonderful gift!

magnifico.💣💣💣💣💣💣

What a sound and dynamics!!!

Very impressive! 👍👍

Incredible!

BRAVO!!!

Beautiful

The absolute master!! 🤩🫡❤️💯

The best John...

Picked up on your sound back in '86. I'd come home from performing with the symphony and take my mind off of that music, and listen to yours. You were with Chick a long time, buddy. You paid your dues. I pray all is well these days. The glissandos are cool tool of artistry, man. My favorite moments were the contra G's with that cool sawtooth. What a sound! That one lingers in my ear for awhile.

NIB Version John P \m/ Oh yeah !!

You are an inspiration, thank you!

Beautiful, so mellow!

😀🤩Maravilha John

Best thing I've heard him do in a long time. Killer piece. Love it.

Damn this bass sounds good.

So nice, thank you Sir!

excellent as always, by the way, this is the "Marie" that has sent a bunch of music through Gambale.

This is excellent John! Thank you!

That sounds awesome!

Awesome. Thanks

Beautiful New sub here . Thank you John!

Strong in John Patitucci the intergalactic blues is. -Y.

Very earthy,warm and cool.

I’ve played guitar, drums, and piano all my life. Never had an interest in playing bass. Then I discovered you …now I think it’s head and shoulders the coolest instrument of all.

john fantástico

I am so grateful for you. I have always loved seeing you live, watching your instructional videos and taking in all of your great music. It takes a true New Yorker to write a great tune like this about Gridlock. Thank you for everything.

Dude that was awesome, tankx.

That was fantastic! 💕

Freaking awesome dude!
