Guest Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Ironic given he’s spent most of his career playing tons and tons of notes, double-thumbing etc. Now if it had been Joe Osborn, or Chuck Rainey, or even Jamerson himself giving the talk... Whilst I totally get what he’s saying, the worst example he could have given was Allan Holdsworth. Sure his music doesn’t appeal to many people but he never sold out to play “commercial”, stuck to his guns and his way of playing (at times at great personal cost), and that in its own way should be applauded. Plus I happen to think he had great feel. It would be a dull world if we all played/liked the same things. Feel is something everyone can appreciate but it is also shaped by personal taste and cultural/musical exposure - and is much more complex as a result (as are all other human emotions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubis Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 I agree with your point, totally, but I also agree with the message he was trying to get over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Oh totally - over-playing as a bass player is the quickest way to empty a dance floor I just thought it was amusing coming from someone who played on all the Flecktones stuff, which was about as dense with notes as you can get - not that he doesn’t have great feel, of course.
