If Geddy jumped off a bridge, would that be fine too?

Re: geddy lee style

James Jamerson played with only 1 finger (EVER), and he's widely considered one of the best pop musicians the world has ever known.

Re: geddy lee style

They called it "the Hook". Played on more #1 hits than The Beatles.

Re: geddy lee style

It may be one of the most boring thigns ever, since he keeps doing the same fast thing for 8 minutes, but, for you to see a damn good finger picking bassman... by far one of the most skilled bassist out there, Mr. Billy Sheehan!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRuOQtg-pJ0

(About munute 6 or 7, he duels out with Paul Gilbert, that is incredible!!!)


WARNING!!!!: It may cause that so much virtuosism can posiibly make you loose your will to keep on playing (like it happened to me on the last G3 concert...)
