"Playing with an out-of-time drummer". I can say that I've always been blessed to play with great drummers. My favorite was a guy named Kit. When we got in the groove, it was like we were one person playing one instrument... it was amazing. Then there is my other favorite drummer, named Tim... I once knocked over his snare drum with my tuba. I'm not sure he ever forgave me for that. It was a very nice snare drum.

Was friends with the drummer of our church band. Sadly the only drummer in our church.... He was a very self insecure person. If you had him alone, he was extremely good. But when he had to play with the band, let alone in sunday service, he often went out of step and wrestled to change to the rhythm of the other players which brought them out of step. Guess he never understood that HE played the instrument others act upon!

Because at slow tempi you hear a 3% variation in how long you think a beat is, while it's not that clear when you play faster. There's also so much stuff between 120 and 140 BPM, that you tend to play less at slower tempi and that makes you want to rush. You know you've spent too much time thinking about polymeters when you think "a quarter note at 100BPM? That's just 5 tied sextuplets at 120!" and that actually helps...

Double-stops are pretty tricky. I taught myself the "Pink Panther" back when I pretended to play bass and I did the opening bit with 2-note "chords", sliding them to get the same gliding sound the real song had. It was fun, sounded great, but was definitely a trick to learn. Also, keeping a steady time when the feel of a song changes. Both "The Entertainer" and "Dixie" tripped me up because I'd hit the more energetic bits of the songs and start ramping up the tempo.

This is now my favorite video from you of all time! I’m retired now grudgingly, but I went through the same positives and negatives you showed here but those ran between 1977 through 2013. Oh, and minus anything by Victor Wooten. You left one thing out though about hard or not playing. You left out playing while slow dancing with a woman from the audience. You have her fit between you and the bass (facing or away), and play the bass line of the song the band is playing, or solo like you do. That was always met with positive applause and a few eye rolls. I made certain the girl was single and not with anyone there. LOL. I’m certain you COULD do that with your fiancé if you and her chose, but I’m just pointing out one you left out of this list. I owned a reasonably successful recording studio and would cringe when the drummer had no clue about keeping time. I learned never to use click tracks because so few would ever be able to play with them. Plus, no computers in my days. You had big balls to physically splice multitrack tape. My own recordings I’d try it. Getting paid to record…nope! NO WAY! LOL. PS….. I love your LeFay basses with four drop tuners. You make THE BEST use of those I’ve ever seen or heard! You should get a special award just for doing that bit of incredible hand eye, & timing coordination!! I looked them up years ago when I first saw you play. I’ve still have an original 1978 Rickenbacker 4001 in black with white. I loved that bass from McCartney to Squire to Lee. I even used to use the damper no one else knew what it was or what it was for. LOL. Many moons later I fell in love with the Tobias Killer B basses in all three available 4-5-6 string versions with different body woods. In my time only Jaco and Stanley Clarke were known as incredible jazz bassists. But I had the three I’ve mentioned plus players like Billy Sheehan back when he was still in his own band in Buffalo, NY, and others in the rock style. Sorry for the ramble, but I’m watching the video again as a type this. Bravo Charles!! I hope the KZbin viewers appreciate all you do with editing for the 6-string part and the truly high quality recordings you make. Will you ever do another collab with the Higher Love guy??? And YES, making money playing music has always been very tough. I had to get my name out by word of mouth and thousands of auditions over my time. I also found out in the video world, attractive, skilled women have a much higher success rate than most men. Sexism in reverse. I’ve never liked double standards for anything, but I think that just because attractive females can play half as good and get ten times the views stinks. My eta on this point was a ton better. Unless photos were on the album cover, or you saw them in concert…all you needed to do was listen and let the music fill you and let your ‘gut’ decide what you liked or didn’t. But then along came MTV and ruined everything for live music in the USA followed by the idiotic drinking change from 18 to 21. Gotta stop rambling. Sorry. But music has always been my passion and in my life since age 4 and I’m nearing age 61! Ugh!!

This is obviously great ability from very young bass guitar players. As an old guy who can still remember the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show (live), I can attest to the great accomplishments in the technical way young people now play. When I was in a garage band back in 1965, all we had were a few cheap electric guitars and some "Magnatone" amplifiers. The amps even had "reverb" and "vibrato" built into them. Yeah, we were on the cutting edge of technology back in 1965. We were as good as you guys are, "relatively speaking". In reality we sucked. But after watching all of this "virtuosity" I'm still waiting to hear the genius of music created by the likes of Carol King, the Beach Boys and of course the Beatles. All I'm hearing is technically fantastic guitar playing. Much better than we ever could have dreamt possible back in the day. But as the old saying goes, "Where's the beef?"

So many people say that Jaco only needed 4 strings..but actualy he had 5 string too. I know the luthier that made it for him, and he still have pictures of it, and also picture of the original costum document when Jaco traveled back home with the bass ( the bass was made in Denmark ) now the bass is owned by a collector that also play bass, and there is a picture of the guy and the bass in a magazine.

As a hobby guitarist, I'm considering grabbing either a Squire P or J bass and installing EMG's, so I can also do bass parts for hobby song/riff writing
