sounds pretty good man. If I were you I would greatly consider putting more weight in your right hand. Do you use that right hand technique all the time? or only when doing running lines?

[emilioguarino]

@TakeHisKite No, it depends who I'm playing with, where I'm playing, and what kind of music. A gig in a club with a heavy-hitting drummer is a lot different than playing along to a CD.

what a fucking chaos...

[emilioguarino]

@schimmelpenninq  Where can I see you play?

[4ropebottom]

Emilio - excellent playing. You have the phrasing down...and your intonation was impeccable. Very nice work!

I assume you have read the recently published biography...by his sister.

[emilioguarino]

@4ropebottom Thank you! I have a little more free time these days so I'm working on a project involving several transcriptions from the Vanguard recordings...

The biography is really, really important. Anyone who hasn't checked it out should pick up a copy.

why dont you stop commenting shit like a little bitch, this fucking player is playing the bass with sophistication and not digging into it like a chocolate cake like some of these bothes doe. Who wants to hear some clangy over plucked shit, play it with feel, this aint bouncing with bud or giant steps this in waltz man. Are you fucking retarded thats the question, move to the side and let this man show you how bass is moving, its a feel instrument not a heavy metal drum kit.

[idrob2001]

You're jamming on the bass! Alice in Wonderland is a classic choice!

[emilioguarino]

@MrHaSaSo Thanks! There's a book of LaFaro's solos, but I was always more interested in his accompaniment parts.

[sharpiegold]

Great job man. I respect you for taking the time to learn this line. This is probably one of my favorite jazz tunes ever and as a music student who is studying bass also I can say you did a great job with the phrasing. Your tone is nice too. Awesome.

@emilioguarino his duo stuff is so ridiculous. Red really knew how to play the bottom, middle and, melody on his bass as well and belongs in that same family of extended range bass playing. I love his album Warne Marsh, great dialogue there as well. I hope that bass is in good hands these days, as it those lines of LaFaro ingrained into its wood.

Emilio - I was just introduced to the sound of Scott LaFaro and your rendition is beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration today. Liz

[indigobluu2]

Emilio - I've been playing a few years now and was just introduced to Scot LaFaro from my teacher. This is beautiful - I look forward to playing as beautifully in short time. Very lovely - thanks for the inspiration today. Liz

@emilioguarino cool man. Intonation wasn't perfect, but let's be honest, playing along with a recording like that is impossible to be in tune every note. Keep it up!
