Flea

Bass Player magazine calls Flea “a trend setter and thrash-funk icon ... whose thumb has been infectiously influential on many young bassists.” This innovative funk purveyor of the Red Hot Chili Peppers presents an introspective and live performance improvisation with Peppers drummer Chad Smith in this DVD hosted by River Phoenix. Flea discusses the theories, philosophies, styles, sounds and techniques he uses when performing in the style he's famous for: slapping, plucking, thumping and popping, bringing together rock, funk, punk, jazz and Latin like never before. 55 minutes.
