    The lick Leland throws in at 1:49 and the reaction from Ryan was so natural!

      I always come back to this video for that moment:
      Ryan was like “Duuuude” and Leland quietly replies, “It’s what we do🤷‍♂️”

    Good to see that a 60+ year old bass with flats wasn’t needed to make this sound funky. Just an absolute legend , a forefather , a pillar of the instrument Leland sklar can make it happen

    • @dmjbass
      @dmjbass 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sklar could do it on anything, but the Dingwall basses are killer tools in anyone's hands now as well. Love that we're all breaking out of the old expectations!

    • @OscarRichardson
      @OscarRichardson 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Something has to be 60+ in order to make it funky. In this case it's Leland's beard so he can use what he wants.

      I've seen Rick Wakefield perform (Life on Mars, etc.) and he's so deeply past any technical barriers, that his playing was otherworldly while he was Buddha-like in detached bliss.

    Best part... seeing the musicians do their thing. This is the dimension to music you don't get from just audio.
    This is like reading the book instead of watching the movie. It's the real deal. Kudos.

    OK, wanna know what a musical MASTERPIECE sounds like? THIS is it. Every musical aspect is so beautifully and musically TIGHT, I'd rather say "fused" as plasma, but real, felt and effortlessly layed down, from the luscious vocals to the arrangement featuring Louis Vuitton level chord voicings and the otherworldly dynamic build as each moment leads to the next. . . every musican here plays exactly like you play when you have the opportunity to create alongside a living legend, Leland Sklar, THAT certainly upped everyone's game right? WOW! Just love this.

    Simply amazing, I'm 68 years old, played guitar all my life and the love of music from one end of the spectrum To the other has always been the heartbeat of my life. You guys are killing it , I simply love turning up your music And finding a tiny little spot to sit and jam along. I always wondered why my legs and feet seem to have a crazy beat of their own when I played, I definitely can't sit still listening to you guys, happy feet speak volumes.
