Tony Levin Jams at the Ernie Ball Music Man booth at Bass Player Live - Part 1

[remoman]

if you want to here the funk fingers in action listen to the songs "silent talking' and "holding on" from the Yes album Union.

[FunkinSteen]

@remoman Funk, from Yes!? Chris Squire playing Funk!?

[Dyadechka10]

so good

[paulwall1981]

What are those wired things on his left fingers? The ones hitting the strings?

[iunnox666]

@paulwall1981 Funky fingers.

[paulwall1981]

@iunnox666. Thanks for that info.

[iunnox666]

@paulwall1981 They're funky fingers, he made them to simulate drumsticks. Also, thats his right hand.

[paulwall1981]

@iunnox666. I have porblems with left and right. I have done all my life. Thanks for putting me right.

I have mad respect for Tony. Plus, he's a great guy. Personally speaking, it's hard for me to take him seriously when he's got his finger mallet thingies on.

[helmsdeep48]

it's the fin-longer!

[ultramegadudesupper]

hey folks ...... 'just for the record' these two guys are NOT drummers! they are just people from the 'music industry'....

[lEMGl]

I don't see why this guy is so good. Maybe I have to listen to more of his music. Any suggestions

[muthashipconxon]

@lEMGl listen to the album Discipline by King Crimson, or his work with the Brecker Brothers.

[lEMGl]

@muthashipconxon I have been listening to a lot of King Crimson since I last posted my comment. I really enjoy King Crimson as a group and the live version of elephant talk that was on T.V in the 80's kicks ass.

[dharmaseed]

@lEMGl Any KIng Crimson from the eighties, Peter Gabriel, or Liquid Tension Experimtn. These drummers are playing a simple 8-beat pattern. Tony's better with a drummer like Bruford. You might also check out his solo material.
