This is Finlandia by Jean Sibelius and while it should be the national anthem of Finland it is not. The national antherm was written by Fredrik Pacius in 1848. But my opinion is that we Finns should change the anthem to this very version of Laboriel. Image a Finn winning the World Rally Champion and then have Laboriel with his bass - WOW!

OH MY LORD that interviewer is so white compared to laboriel, like a jew trying not to be white. Laboriel could not be contrast more with those soul bass sounds. I felt embarrassed when he chuckled at the "that was just beautiful, gorgeous" comment from the interviewer, as if to say: "white boy, please." i think laboriel laughed at the interviewers appearance at 4:43.
i"m ur fans abrham l...i really likes n love it when ur palying Ur Bass..u so awesome JESUS Bless u all d time My great n lovly teacher my name mike from indonesia
This was from the All Star Bass: Bass as a Solo Instrument "Instructional" DVD. Nice video, but as far as the "instructional" quality of it, it's very disappointing... This guy just sits there and asks all the bassist questions; no real instruction at all. Just a heads up.
There is no such thing as a "blessing of talent". Those who play the instrument know that it takes work, practice, sacrifice, and dedication. Some people are born with just the right length of fingers, just the right cognative skills for music, just the right arm length..and some are lucky if they are born with more than one of these physical attributes not withstanding the hours and hours of grueling practice and sacrifice of a social life to attain such skills. THIS ISNT A GIFT! This is work.
True, more work than talent. But still, some people are just more gifted musically than compared to others. God blessed different people differently. If someone is not musically talented, he is gifted elsewhere.
I am a musician, and I know what I am saying. A gift is something that is given to you with no work on your behalf. My ability to play slap groove was not some gift I was instantly given, it was something I spent YEARS of my life working on...and if you think thats is wrong, or retarded, then I will have nothing else to do with you.
Shit in one hand and pray in the other and guess which one gets filled first. My money is on the steaming coil.
@reverendjeremiah you're right it takes time, dedication, sacrifice, innovation to be a great musician as this fellow. You have to practice and practice to reach a level of proficiency .
