I think he's basically Rick James that got high on anime instead of cocaine...

When your customizable character enters a cutscene

My dude plays bass, is a fan of Evangelion, and literally goes by the name "Thundercat". I think I just found a new idol.

This guy is a poser. He didn't even mention Thundercat's "Them Changes".

thundercat's favorite basslines: 3 notes, 2 bars thundercat's basslines: とてもたくさんのメモ
-
As a musician, i found his in depth knowledge of bass lines motivating. I love how he talks about the overall structure of the song and not just how dope the bass line is. Really cool stuff honestly
-
Cream wrote Sunshine of your love while jamming right after going to a Jimmy Hendrix concert. That line is pure Hendrix....

Thundercat: touches bass Subtitles: [funky music]
-
As a new bassist this video is eye opening
-
Thundercat is a true student of music. I respect his art alot more now
-
seeing tcat on the 4 string is more surreal than what he's wearing
-
"There's a fine line between funky and ... disaster." 😂
-
I come here often to watch him play Portrait like it's no big deal. This dude is a LEGEND.
-
I've never really been into the crazy technical bass style, I'm more of a 'crank it up to 10 and play 5 notes' punk bass type guy but every time I see jazz and funk bass broken down like this I just get tremendous respect for it. Always dug thundercat, super rad bass player and overall cool dude.
-
he's playing jaco like nothing and y'all focusing on what he looks like.
-
Thundercat looking like a straight up anime character here
-
Wow, it's so unbelievable to see someone else play Portrait of Tracy, but if anyone was going to do it, Thundercat's the man!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THUNDERCAT ON HIS 1ST GRAMMY!! 🔥🔥🔥
