Just watching Sklar's fingers as he plays bass is a wonder to behold. Incredibly fluid and engaging playing. definitely one of the great bass players of all time.
@michaelr.48789 ай бұрын
He definitely is great. He plays bass...he doesn't try to stand out and play 'lead bass', like a lot of well known 'bass' players do. Even when he does something a little flashy, he still serves the song. Always tastefully.

The name. Leland Sklar. Provided bass parts for over 2000 records. Not to mention, motion picture soundtracks and major tours. Pop,Jazz, Country, rock _ dude is a chameleon. This 5.26m clip is just a prime example of why he's worked for so long. Grooving. Pocket is wonderous. Bass tone is killing. A serious joy to watch. Always in awe of this man. You are absolutely AMAZING brother.

That is sensational. I must share my Leland story. Back then I was a hooked on Phil and Genesis. When Phil toured Aus I would see every Sydney show (don’t remember how many but he almost did a residency 😁) and would sleep out to get great tickets. Pretty much always front row or there about. So after a couple of nights of shows and me in nearly the same seat every night Leland acknowledged me. The only band member to do that (not that I expected or wanted it) by giving me a wave, a smile and a thankyou and applause back to me as I applauded him. It was a moment of real connection between two music lovers. That might sound exaggerated but it wouldn’t have stuck with me all these years if it had been a flippant gesture. He appreciated that the audience is half of what makes a great show.
