[BTigs]

This my cut bro!!

[kingcoach13]

you picked one of my favorite artists & one of my favorite songs to work on.. johnnie had #1 hits in the 60's,70's,80's, & this song in the 90's. the phrase "change your mind" was a tribute to his friend tyrone davis & his song "baby can i change my mind".. another great & a great song. you should work on that song as well.

[b3l13v3r]

It would be a dream come true to get lessons from Sharay... trance-like perfection on this.

[tacoque]

The production on this song is insane. I'm LOVING the string arrangement. Oh yeah, and nice bass playing of course. LOL

@jbasslindsey larry graham was probably the greatest slap bass player ever..catch him with his group.. "graham central station' big late 60's, to middle 70's. a great voice as well. "one in a million you".. truly awesome.

[bud0788amop]

[clove316]

Man thats 2 decade old butt stank funkyyy right there!! You should be locked up for indecent exposure of the groove. NASTY stuff my brotha just plain nasty!

[dwalmz]

Great playing as always! What is your main bass and is it stock or modified?

[pivester]

This guy and Sean Byrd are two of the best pockets I've heard out there.

[eisenyeo]

Smooth as Silk, Love it!

Your fan from Shanghai, China

[MarvinMartian4528]

Man you killed it!!! Your pocket is just so soulful!!!

[cj1165]

I love this song by Johnnie Taylor and you were excellent.

[KmArBasS]

[neildamato1]

Incredible brother! Such a deep groove! You are blessed!

[moronslave]

Hi, I'm interested with your DVD- how long is its playing duration?

[lordoftheviolin]

absolute bliss! -Taylor 

[bossmayn1]

I love the way you close your eyes to play.. Makes me feel like I suck at the bass LOL Great performance btw.

[hahabass]

By the way, are we reading this?

[hahabass]

There are sssoo, so many skillful players out there with killing technique and incredible musical knowledge. However, there are only a few who really able to touch you. This brother's pocket is so tight, but he is also able to get busy with the deadliest natural-sounding fills, and stilllllll manage to stay out the way of everything else in the arrangement. That stuff is god-given I think. You'd struggle to learn it. Continue to be blessed, Sharay!

[louisianarookie]

Sick mann!! To smooth!!

[twini25]

This is Cold!!! Man...Sharay!!

[RyMuEntertainment]
