Gruv Gear Sessions #1: David Dyson + Damian Erskine + Ricky Lawson ~ Bestowal

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

It was such an amazing experience and great honor for me to host Ricky Lawson in Uganda 🇺🇬 in 2010. Such a fine gentleman. RIP

[@madbuzz90]

Damien plays some of the sweetest melodic statements I've ever heard. Definitely one of my favorite bass players.

[@jeztoole4901]

Bass par excellence...and the late, great Ricky Lawson laying down a serious groove

[@davidbeasley5947]

David is solid gold.

[@DavidMcmenemy]

R.I.P This was so groovy to watch and listen to. An amazing player.

[@Archearer]

Damn! These Skjolds sounds soooo groovy and juicy. They are definitly in my personal top of perfect basses now - right near Fodera and Zon

[@davehenderson8111]

Good to see Ricky Lawson on set

[@khund03]

Wow... The groove is just "Krazy"!!!

[@brianbates4504]

Drums are on point....

[@maixce]

It feels like a bar of 7/8 and and bar of 4/4 ;) Nice groove .....

[@fnkdrmmr]

Mr. Lawson is sounding good.

[@Zimbaue10]

[@MARKLINMAN1]

WOW, Just AWESOME....Talk about grooving.....Sheeeeeesh, thats just not fair. I think i will quit playing now. Or perhaps practice 12 hours a day. Killer playing right here. Thanks for sharing.

ricky-lawson--rip

[@matalmike]

Speechless......What's the tme signature?

[@borisstanvic1342]

nice

[@basssonu]

It's technically 7 and a half or 15 if you prefer. Fantastic execution either way.

[@themeweathers]

15 /8

[@JayAlsman]

15/8 if I'm not mistaken

[@TheGrooveRoom_Gabz]

odd how D.Dyson pins his thumbs under the strings (right hand) during the finger style part of his solo. His technique, of course everyone has their own style.

[@LohandfunkTube]

Yep, Personal comfort. I use them as anchors and to deaden the strings not played.

[@jpenguino]

a bar of 7 and 2 bars of 4 or count in to 15/8 RIP Ricky!

[@chilldrummer]

It's a 2 bar phrase. A bar of 8 and a bar of 7.

[@jaysauerbass]

Ya 15/8. Ya Dyson's thumb thing is really weird. I've never seen a player do that. Must be for stabilization.

[@LohandfunkTube]

Personal comfort and habit💯

[@TedTalksBass]

oh you've just don' out done yourself
