Playing Bass -
@ned posted the other day, himself singing and playing guitar. (See link bottom of post.)
You have to admit, that's not very typical of a CEO, so I thought it was pretty cool, and made a comment on the post, I will repeat just below:
"I soon learned as a musician, having really good musical taste is the hard part. We used to say in music school, learning how to listen, was the hardest part.
Anybody can play, few listen.
Bassists can change the world. Even Polish bassists.. ;-)
If you can play at the level of Jaco, or the guy above, you are the show. But there's little room for anybody else ;-)
I've played both 6 string and electric bass, and string bass in orchestras as well.
In 2009, the economy was down, and I just lived on savings, didn't attempt to find a job, and just stayed home and learned 6 string electric for the first time. In a year I sounded really good; "practicing every day for at least 20 minutes" was my personal rule, but it soon turned into a 2 hour session every time.
I forgot to mention, that's when I bought the 10 electric guitars, and hung them around the apartment.. ;-)"
I am a frustrated Bassist. But this live video of NAMM 3 years ago is one of my favorite music videos I've discovered this year, so I thought I'd post it and share with family. I had a teacher that was on this level, his name was Jim Simmons, well known in the Phoenix area in the 1980s. Ran a Jazz club in Tempe called Chuy's Choo Choo.

I only watched to check out the two black girls in the background. Otherwise its the same performance he's been doing for years now, right down to the songs. He really should come up with some new material. Bring a band with him or pair up with another musician at the show. Something.
I'm glad you are familiar with his "schtik".
Still, he's playing on a level that is very difficult and ATHLETIC! ;-)
I took lessons from a guy that could pretty much improvise at that level, with that amount of facility and timing, and it was pretty cool to watch him solo on any good funk or modern jazz tunes.
To truly IMPROVISE at this level, that's what separates the true gods, from the wanna-bees.
A good song for a good band you need, I know, it's a very good band

@surfyogi This guy is unbelievable! He looks like a Navy seal and the bass is his weapon!! Blew me away! Thank you for posting this. 🎶🎶✌🏼
To play like that requires top fitness, daily exercise, millisecond reflexes and responses.
None of which I possess today but it is inspiring to have it back..
Wow, you know, it's actually true
I've been trying to learn the guitar for long and I'm not making any headway....
I think I'll have to give in more time and dedication like you said.....20 minutes a day.
By the way, that guy is really cool.
I hope one day I'll be able to play like him
That music put some warmth in me!!! The weather here is chilly!

Never heard of him before - but wow - he might be the best bass player in the world .. the technique , chords , licks, riffs, and speed
Thanks @surfyogi for the great musical post. I really amaze this post.
People have to remember the great virtuoso musicianship this amazing player puts forth does not begin with a passle of pedals and effects. Having said that...Sure might be fun have a few of these huh? This guy is a groove master..A drummers dream huh? I could listen to him for hours.
Yes, he's a bad mofo. But notice, he's working by himself and that has it's advantages.
Still, I want to hear his band now...
WOw that's good he is really best musicianship. Sometime i also hear his band.
Thanks for you my dear sir @surfyogi...

This helps me to remember my sibling who went to his music school each day and the principal objective was to figure out how to tune in as it was a standout amongst the most troublesome things.
A debt of gratitude is in order for sharing significant substance.
I love music, its sounds and melody always gladden my soul.
Thanks @surfyogi for sharing with us
This reminds me of my brother who went to his music school every day and the first goal was to learn to listen as it was one of the most difficult things.
wow I'm so happy right now...... Being a bassist has really helped me feel the impact of music harmony itself,..if you play the bass Then I guess you have to start making tutorial for beginners

He was a wonder artiste and I enjoyed his songs. It's a sad thing he had to leave and a good thing that he has people like you who still remember him this much. I feel sad but life must go on.
