For the first minute or so I thought the interviewer had one arm and was wondering how he was going to play the guitar....LOL. Great interview, and Jeffs bass and his playing sound awesome.
Thank you Mr Berlin, you make a ton of sense. I first heard you on “Feels good to me”, your playing blew me away, and the musicians appearing with you too. I’ve recently borrowed one of your rithimics from a friend. Over the years I’ve owned about 24 basses inc a DB, and your signature model is not only up there with the best, but great value for money. Thanks again
I started playing electric bass because of rock and roll. I was probably 13. I had a buddy across the street who was learning guitar. Music was in my house on the record player via my schizophrenic (GOD BLESS HER) mother and my brothers. So I had it coming from all directions. Thankfully my buddy and I were in the school music program as Bass Violin players. I was beyond scrawny so I’m not sure how that happened. They needed viola players! So we had 2 vectors of music education. One which involved learning by ear and the other by reading the black dots. I didn’t always see the value in the latter because of my perception about what was cool. I eventually went to university where I was force fed music theory. Thank God! Had I just learned and played bass parts,my musical knowledge (my opinion) would have suffered tremendously. Jeff Berlin along with a few others like Joe Hubbard and Rick Beato are providing a great service thru their music education platforms. Drink deeply from the well and grow.
Thank You for posting this video, I enjoyed it very much. I’d been playing electric bass for about 3 years when I first heard Jeff’s playing on Bill Bruford’s “One of a Kind” album, which absolutely floored me. And his playing still amazes me. I also have to thank Jeff for “introducing” me to Jack Bruce’s music. I read an interview with Jeff where he cited Jack Bruce as a major influence on his playing when he was in his teens, so I started listening to Cream, then I started listening to Jack’s incredible music recorded after Cream broke up.
I have been playing a bass for 56 years . In my opinion Berlin is absolutely right on .
Berlin is a god damn legend...Thank you Jeff!!
The honestly & authenticity displayed here is commendable. Much respect.

Me too I really thought he had one arm. An awkward way to sit and give an interview
Yes lol I was so confused

Jeff's the best. I was fortunate to attend Musicians Institute when he was an instructor there.
Really good interview.
Jeff Berlin is one of my greatest inspirations that sent rushing to learning bass...
Agree with Jeff 100%
Wonderful, as always. Thank you.
A total legend, immense bass player and great guy!
Most excellent!
This was excellent for so many reasons. Thanks 👍
Who’s the interviewer, Steve who?….love his guitar playing!
Scan, did you ever do the video about the bass?

Jeff is on the money.
No mention of Peavey Palaedium or Dean. Jeff was with Dean for 14 years.
Great interviewer
for a moment, i was interested in how the amputee was going to play 😁
I am a better musician thanks to Jeff's sound advice.

Derwin Moss Listen to “Feels good to me”, also with Mr Berlin
Mr Berlin looks like a great actor Walter Matthau
The guitar community is the same in this instance..
