Dude..I really dont have words, but I will try anyway lol I have only had a few moments in my 35 years of life where a musician and composition impacted me in such a positive way as both a bass player and as a music lover. Like discovering magic is real or something of that exaggerated effect. So... Thank you
What I love about your music is as well as the obvious mindblowing technique and general bass nerdiness, you choose such beautiful and deep chords and progressions in your writing which takes it out of the ordinary and into the realms of the spiritual and otherworldly. Reminds me somehow of the music of Steve Reich. Love it! 🖤
This is amazing. It's blowing my mind for multiple reasons. This is the kind of stuff I would write if I had your skill level. I need to practice more of course. That's the only way. And my favorite D&D character that I created when I was a teenager almost 30 years ago had a solo fight with a skeleton that almost killed him on his first adventure. I stumbled upon your video on basstheworld. What a crazy world. Subscribed for sure. I am sorry for the loss of your friend, snake.
Thanks so much for the kind words and yes, practice will get you there, but specifically practicing stuff relevant what you're trying to accomplish! I know that might sound obvious but it's easy to lose sight of! Thanks for your condolences , he was awesome
Wow, John! This is absolutely incredible. Any chance you could take the time to break down your right hand technique on the intro? You sound exactly like yourself and nobody else.
oh my god now you're playing the tremolo type thing that i've been trying to mess around with for almost a year 🤯 your compositions and subsequently flawless execution of them on your instrument blow me away just as much as jaco did when i first found out about him. this is seriously incredible
That means so much thank you! And yea I've been having so much fun with that technique. It really helps you express faster rhythmic phrases with relatively little effort. But it is definitely hard to get even and fast! Thanks for listening!
Perfect blend of melody and shred. Very tasty!
Thanks so much for the kind words and for listening!!
❤❤
Bravo!
Thanks so much!!
Great tune, love the name and the story. RIP Guapo!
Thanks so much and for the condolences. Guapo was awesome
Loved this from start to finish. Ditto to what everyone else said about your style and technique.
@@raymondlehman5548 thanks so much Raymond that really means a lot! Most certainly put a lot of work and love into it

Damn John, that is a truly phenomenal & riveting piece.
Thanks so much man!!! I really appreciate you watching!
OK I don't know anything about playing any instrument but that's pretty friggin cool!
Ha thanks! I take compliments more to heart when it's from a non musician anyway. Much appreciated!

@@JohnFerraraMusic oh, sure! I saved this video so I can teach your piece to myself. It'll take time, but I will get there.
I love this! The manual delay pedal effect finger style is especially awesome! also RIP Guapo
Thanks it’s a tough one to work at first but the end result is awesome sounding! And thanks, he was an awesome little guy
The maestro does it again!! Please tell me you'll release a playthrough of An accident of hope. That's my favourite on the album

Thanks so much Allan! it's a beats to pull off live haha!

Wow, John!
This is absolutely incredible. Any chance you could take the time to break down your right hand technique on the intro?
You sound exactly like yourself and nobody else.
how much pressure should i put on the right hand thumb?
Simply astonishing. Not hard to understand why Guapo like it so much
Thanks a lot man!
