its so great to hear of a guitar player who appreciates bass players....if only everyone had this view.

[BassFever74]

the stuff he's showing us are the fundemental roots of playing that help most at blues jams, sitting in on a set without really knowing the tunes. always go back to this stuff and take a deep breath..and you'll do fine. thank you marlowdk

@DementedBoosh

I am a guitar player who started out on the bass in 1973. Long time, right? I have picked up the drums and keys as well as dorking around with any other musical instrument I can get my hands on but I am not nearly as proficient on any as well as the first two.

As far as appreciating bassists - I have always hated the bassist/drummer jokes and laugh at the assholes that tell them. I always tell them it might be funny now but when they really need one or the other...good luck.
