that wasnt so great it was just part of victor wooten's "me and my bass guitar riff" played very badly and a slight bit of improv that was outta time.
Playing music should be for yourself and if other people like it that's great, if not that's ok too because you do it for yourself and you like doing it.
Also, the bassist is awesome! Although it would have been more impressive if the solo was an original as opposed to consisting mostly of parts from other songs. But props for doing some Wooten!
Thing is, music is meant to be for the people, and this is only for the person playing it. He could do that at home and it would have the same effect on the world. I know rock stars and the like are meant to be on another planet, but this is too far out for the public to be impressed by. Give me Bill Wyman anyday.
Ahhh i think he ruined it, Like in the beginning, after that he totally could have gone to some deep neo-classical prog style stuff in a harmonic minor or something and it would have sounded bad ass. Instead he just went to some funk bullshit.
He's good, But i didn't like his stuff. I think he could do waaay better then this. He's good though and i liked the pink floyd at the end.
...Well, fittingly it was a smaller crowd, we played a ton of blues and jazz that night, and it was designed to be more of a showcase of alumni musicians and musicianship than a full out show... not sure where the cynicism is coming from...?
Great fantastic skillfull playing BUT, that type of solo only sounds good to a very small group of people; that being the few in the audience that can appreciate the skill level it takes to master your axe. The rest of the audience doesn't know what you're doing and would rather hear a steady funky bassline with occasional riffs. If you're at a jazz club, then fine, anyplace else and you won't be appreciated.
Ive never played with Santa!
