      I agree. Ive never been a fan of Jacob. He may try to explain things or play things, but to me, it always sounds like a big flex. On the flip side though, i did learn a few things about his practice methods. I admire his enthusiasm... hes just not my thing

      @@NevertahnProduction Forgive me for being so direct and this might be me reading into your comment too much - but isn't having loads of fun and maximizing your abilities just perceived as a flex when you are insecure about your own abilities? Or do you stylistically dislike his music subjectively? Obviously he has less than 1% ego, so it's clearly not a flex, especially given that he did it by himself in his room for years before sharing with people like you who might have discouraged him. He only flexes for fun when playing live because the crowd enjoys it and wants it, and even then it's not out of insecurity obviously haha.

    I really like how he correlates scat singing with the notes on the instrument. Using the very first instrument (our voices) to relate to every other instrument is a very intuitive way to learn an instrument. Melody and harmony are never to be underestimated. If you can sing or whistle it, you can play it. Scott, your peaks and valleys analogy of playing bass still sticks with me every time I play. Every single video you make inspires me to be a better bass player, thank you. 🙏🏻

    unpopular opinion here but I have yet to hear anything of real practical value come from this guy. I have never been able to sit through anything he has ever done. It's fair to say maybe I don't understand it and it's my loss, but the majority of people in this world know nothing about music and they can still enjoy it when it's good. I am all for avant garde, but his stuff has always come across to me as "look what I can do because I can". what good is all the musical talent in the world if you haven't put out something that sits up there with the greats? I wish I COULD get it, I feel like I AM missing out the way people talk about this guy, and I am quite happy with my own musical journey and yes I do know my theory, so if you are gonna suggest I am just jealous don't waste your time. For me it just comes nowhere near the pedestal people put him on.

      I get that…not everyone is a theory nut, and has perfect pitch. And in a lot of these interviews it’s just like “ yeah I just sang it out then I knew how to do it and became a bass player” Hahahahaha. Definitely a bright guy, but he clearly has the ability to learn differently then most people. Well I’d say that’s true for everyone, each person learns differently so sometimes listening to the way Jacob learns is confusing, but I think there are moments that have it’s value.
