My fellow bassists,

Flea is one of the most popular bassists of all time, but some people think he's overrated. He doesn't have the most advanced technique and can't play as fast as some other bassists, but does he really "suck" like some people say?

In this video I break down Flea's technique and also give you a couple of exercises inspired by the man himself! Let me know in the comments what you think of Flea...

As always, let me know if you have any questions at all and I'll make sure to respond ASAP!

And if you want to get Mastering The Masters at 60% off, just click here before midnight on July 31st and I'll see you there!

Thanks for coming here and practising with me, have a great weekend and I'll see you in the next video!

I don’t like how he plays, the way his style looks when he plays, or his stage presence and acting/performance, plus, he’s a total freaking weirdo, but he sounds great and his music is worth any bassist’s attention. As for the solo, yeah, that was dogshit. Even I could play something that bad

Adrian Moore

His style works for him and his band. He's the bassist for RHCP. Nuff said. It's similar to people saying how Nirvana weren't really good players at all. They didn't have to be, they were Nirvana.

I bet if you were there with a few beers in you it would sound amazing :) It's a live rock gig, it's not meant to be critiqued at home on YouTube

I can appreciate that. The dude is a famous bass player for a reason. He's earned it. I'm just a nobody sitting at home yelling at screen that I could do better

I am more impressed at Charles making "Power" sound decent with the thumb pointing down 😃

um... Dave Grohl? He was their drummer and he's certainly talented at multiple instruments.

Sorry I meant more Cobain tbh. but if you listen to Grohl in interviews he admits he lifted loads of drum riffs from old disco tracks. But anyway, my point was that you only need to be as good as the music demands. If you can be successful playing three chords vamps and root notes, more power to you ;)

Flea is a great bass player and his style works great for certain songs. But he lost all my respect in 90's. I don't mind learning his music,but not a bassist I want to follow.
