ML94 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Hey guys was about to go in for the night and received an email that Janek is doing a live clinic from NYC. If your interested check it out, he'll be taking questions as well. I'll be watching http://www.ustream.tv/channel/video-bass-lessons Quote
xilddx Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I watched a bit, but I found it didn't interest me so I switched off. No disrespect to the Gwizmon, but I don't really dig what he does. I always hope peeps with those kind of very high skill, experience and knowledge levels would really push the boundaries and execute some really beautiful music that has finesse and panache - lush harmony, gorgeous melody, punch, drive, power, saturated with emotion - but everything he does sounds mundane and unimaginative to my ears. And I have a deep aversion for his scat singing, there's something very weird and uncomfortable about it for me. He does talk sense though, he seems like a good mentor. Quote

[/quote] yep, I agree in most points nige. I was also expecting some more "magic", but the discussion was ok so far. only not interesting enough to keep me awake any longer. good night. Quote
Myke Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Missed it, hopefully it'll be on youtube sometime. I also really dislike his singing when soloing. It's never quiet enough that I can ignore and listen to his playing unfortunately. Quote
