I love his Funk(Larry Graham style of bass playing)in the first couple of minutes or so, in this video-took me back to when this was the standard for most bass players, back in the 70s and 80s; it's all gone now and I miss those days, when the Funk ruled...seriously. 2-22-23.
That's because he is a master at all of them. He worked hard to get there, studied diligently, practiced not only his ass, but his fingertips right off, and probably still does.

incredible how he is able to switch so seamlessly between e bass, fretless, and upright and sound like a master at all of them

McBride is one of the all-time greats. For sure!
What can't christian mcbride do on a bass? 🤦🏾♂️ musicianship personified. 💯% One of my all time favorites. 🥂
Mcbride is my mentor i love gis language of solos and bass line as well.
Awesome melodic lyrical bass solo
This guy is incredible
He's a legend!
Awesome🎶
Very impressive! I didn’t know he played electric bass. 👍👍
ohhhh...that tone....wow....
Nice Batik!
❤️❤️❤️
when he plays that fretless is he plucking with his pointer and RING finger? killin all the way.
Fernando Saunders uses the same technique. I believe he does it because those two fingers are the most similar in length.
Interesting, I always thought I was a weirdo for doing that! My middle finger is useless when I try to play fast.
He makes the jazz bass look like a ukulele. Amazingnplaying
HAAA!!! He drops The Lick, not once, but TWICE IN A ROW!! Priceless.
You mean like the 'slick' lick right? Noticed that too 😄 Also at 3:19 he references 'So what'
Sweet it's good to play AC & El Bass they work well together musicianship 1st he's all that!
2:00 What's the name of the song?
Great! what show was this? who are the other cats?
The ONLY bad thing I can say about McBride is how EASY he makes it look.
I simply forgot, that he plays on bass guitar, and see this video
Thanks for this! Now excuse me while I set fire to all my basses because... what’s the use?! 🙂
Because, while you will never be Christian McBride, only you can be @cdarw ... So get practising, friend, to be the best cdarw evah... 🤗
Why is he playing with index and ring fingers on the right hand? I did for a lot of time because of a skin condition on my middle finger...
Why does the Blue Note have such a shitty sign?
