    Manny I have to tell you how much you have helped me. I was a frustrated bass player for years until I started viewing your videos. Started slowly with full understanding or minor/major then finding similar notes on the neck. Your explanation of theory that had been eluding me for years encouraged me to learn more. Now instead of people telling me that I cannot play they simply sit stunned, thanks to YOU !!!!! Wish I could take online Skype lessons with you ! All the best and keep Groovin :} P.S. My Spanish is limited but I still listen you communicate so well and always seem to be sooo Happy.

    Great playing and good list but no Rush? No Duran Duran? Rio to me is probably the best bass line of the decade and there are so many amazing Rush bass lines and RHCP was quite popular with Flea killing it. As someone who grew up in the 80s I would change at least half the list.
