Ladies and gentlemen, now that Mr. Manring has finished tuning his bass guitar, he would like to play something for you.

There are so many. But maybe they were appreciated by the right people. Music should never be popular, it should be personal. Life has taught me that popular music is the wrong music. Too many people don't care about the art for popularity to be a measure of success in music.

Was just nominated as top 3 bassists of 2020 🍻

I first saw this video when I was 12-13 years old. Then I realized that the world of music has only a few diamonds per billion stones, which you just need to look for. Since then, I began to be interested in that same indie world of music that no one cares about and discovered many genres, and began to write music myself. Returning to listening to a melody that you haven't heard for a decade - you return to the days of naive and carefree childhood. Magic. He is certainly a magician

I feel like that melody has been ringing in my head all my life

The Enormous Room is in my own top 10. Manring is a genius

he uses the "techy" techniques to create something beautifull,not to show off.the result is an incredible and touching piece of music

One of the prettiest sounding performances I've ever heard. Bass harmonics are already very ethereal sounding. But Manring's use of the Hyperbass to emphasize and change the notes is like a pure shot right to the emotions of the listener. This is such a pretty, but tragic sounding track. Manring is a wizard on the bass.

The beautiful sounds of Michael Manring. This is one of the most amazing pieces of Art and Music I have ever heard. This man is a genius and has soul beyond many could ever understand.

its incredible how he knows exactly where to put his fingers back to when he changes the tuning, seeing as its fretless and all. outstanding musician

I watch this AT LEAST yearly. It's difficult to put into words this performance

Michael is a creative genius and a beautiful, humble person. And he is performing at my house again on May 6th.

Manring's a phenomenon. My favorite tune of his is "On a Day of Many Angels." It is one of the most evocative pieces of music I've heard in my 36 years on this planet. And I've heard LOTS of music - jazz, latin, funk, metal, reggae, African, "new age," blues, classical....you name it.

Just look at the marks on his fingerboard. The precision of Mr. Manrings' (sir) fingerings can be measured in nanometers despite changing tunings constantly through his pieces. Jaco would be moved to tears to see his prodigy come so far. Revolutionary bassist, no doubt whatsoever.

I play bass myself, I have played for many years, but it is when you see people like this, that you just realise you are only a beginner. Michael is a masterclass. Total respect to a legend. I salute you. 🙏✊👏👏

I'd like to hear Michael Manring do the score for some film now, because just by this... he'd kill it.

Michael is an Alien who brought in the Earth the real meaning of pure art.

that melody comes from heaven i can't explain it otherwise

after some time I back to this video, because here I listened sounds that I can not listen in any other site, thanks Micheal

every time i see a Michael Manring video, i am blown away by his playing...but i also am blown away by how much he looks like Jon Stewart with a pony tail.

i last listened to this 4 years ago. I thought it was a beautiful performance then, and still do now.

This is easily Michael Manrings "Portrait of Tracy"

You know you're a true musician when you can write something that isn't fast and flashy and still keep the audience's attention for 5 minutes. The amazing thing about this isn't the technical aspect, but the composition. Very cool.

Ok, any comment is personal, and this is also the beauty of you tube .. But here I am, a musician, I feel the universality of art. There is sound, feel, taste, musicality, intensity, pain, nostalgia and so on .... Nothing is missing. I'm sorry for those who still stops to unnecessary disquisitions on the instrument. The tool (called so for that matter) is only a means of expression is important is what comes out .. And what comes out here I really like.

This song just pulls the emotion right out of you!

Wow wow wow, just wow

I felt in a zen mode when i listen this song... its so... peacefull...

Simply wonderful.

So totally in control. Amazing

bass is easy...sure it is. and when you master just playing it, you can remove all the frets, memorize precise harmonics and play in 3 different tunings at the same time. ya know...to make it a little tougher. ladies and gentleman i used to make basses, and if i might say i'm a hell of a bass player. and i'm watching this like...how...the fuck...does he get any of this right? zero marks, no frets, frigging detuning all 4 strings mid-play. this man is not a bassist, he's a damn wizard and there is clearly some Elvin magic happening.

Damn. Manring is one of the best bassists around. How can a human mind write something like this?

Wonderful... Got no words to describe such as beautiiful music and original idea

I got so into this that I almost started clapping at the end, as if I was there. 🥴😎

The perception of most casual music enthusiasts/musicians is skewed toward the belief that bass is easy because their context is modern rock/pop music, where the bass serves a very important but basic barebones role. Nobody who wants to pick up bass so they can play Green Day covers in their buddy's garage is going to have heard of or even necessarily want to listen to Michael Manring. Turning the bass into a solo instrument the way he does is like making a full course dinner for 8 people with nothing but a spoon.

Candyrat delivers, yet again!! Never seen anyone play the bass that way before, most interesting indeed. This is a clear example of why I enjoy watching and listening to the musicians of Candyrat Records :)

You should actually check out more videos from Michael Manring. It's a shame Davie reacted to a video without Slap, but Michael Manring can definitely slap 10x better than Davie504... At LEAST. Manring just does everything though, so this was a bad song to send him seeing as it has no slap. :( Try Helios?

This is unbelievable! Re-tuning like that flawlessly without losing the beat... he's probably an alien.

So cool to see Don Ross just sitting there, respecting his fellow musician. He could've been backstage, tuning and prepping or something. But instead he just stayed on stage and watched Micheal play.

Insanity that is.
