The stories are pure gold - please keep them coming Leland.
Totally agree. I could listen for hours. Wait...I am. 😊☮️❤️
Vince is one of the most humble players I know of. Also knew Paul Jabara who was a wonderful songwriter.
Always enjoy your visits. A little info on Pretty Little Adriana. Vince Gill wrote this in honor of a 12 year old girl, Adriane Dickerson, who, on October 1sr 1995 was crossing a store parking lot from the car where she had gone to get a quarter for the gum ball machine, when she was caught in the crossfire of a gang shooting and died from a shot to the chest. It was a tragic event that rocked Nashville and Vince, being Vince, was emotionally touched by it enough to write this song. Vince is, as you point out, a treasure, and so are you. Thank you for the stories and the Master Classes.
Thank you for the insight. Just tragic.
I will never forget that incident. So sad.
@@lelandsklar6363 : I saw Vince Gill on tour for "When Love Finds You" Not sure whether you were on the road with him at the time, but I do remember him telling Adriana's story at the concert. Of course it led me deeper into "High Lonesome Sound". As a songwriter, I love knowing where the songs came from, even when the stories are tragic.
I don’t know how anyone could stand up after a tragedy of such magnitude. My daughter and her family live in the Nashville area and my son in law have been involved with the Vince Gill golf tournament and I’ve heard nothing but praise about the Gill family.
Thanks for the videos.
I remember seeing your name on the album liner notes on Jackson Browne albums a long time ago, hell, a lifetime ago. Thanks again
I saw Vince perform a tribute to a friend of his who had taken his own life. The names all escape me as is wont to happen as I get older. If anyone wants to see Vince's real emotion on display, that song was definitive. He couldn't sing for the tears he was shedding.
I must be on some sort of vibe with you, Lee, because it was just yesterday that I posed a couple of questions to you about Vince. No need for you to answer them. Your comments about Vince and that song about Adriana answered them mezzo forte. Thanks for telling us of your shared emotion with other musicians. That is "the rest of the story".
Yes to all healthcare and essential workers THANK YOU for ALL you do.
Dear Mr. Sklar
When I first picked up the bass in the late 70ties, you were one of my major inspirations.
You still are… and now on a daily basis. How great is that? Thank you :-)
I love how you’re playing is always about the song - never about you.
The world needs more people with your attitude.
Now… if you feel like revisiting Phil Collins, I wouldn’t mind ’Two Hearts’ from the Berlin show. The groove you have going with Chester Thompson brings a smile to my face everytime. And those runs you do in the last chorus are… not all that easy to copy. Talk about chops!
Keep resisting - and keep safe.
Fond greetings from Copenhagen
I fell asleep at a Vince Gill concert. It was not his fault. My husband had died shortly before (like a month ) I saw Vince, and I was not sleeping. My daughter and I went to the concert, I guess I got relaxed and fell asleep.
Love from Iowa,
Lori Parrish Niemi
Beautiful song. My favorite Vince Gill song. My heart always hurts when a child is taken from us. Take care be safe Love to you and yours
you are such a pleasure to watch as you play, Leland
❤️
What a joy to come upon this.. thanks for the great stories and views...🙏🏽
Thanks for your kind words about Carlos Vega. When I was a young drummer, he was the guy I tried to emulate . . . but never came close. Always enjoy your videos, and look forward to the Rick Beato video.
Your channel is a pure joy. World class player talking world class players. Makes my day just that little bit better- thank you
That is a fantastic story of your days in Australia Leland! It doesn't get any better than that!
I did not realize how big your song recording history was until I started watching your videos 3 weeks ago . You are a great player and a hard worker . Love all the stories ,thanks for doing this.
I know right, incredible resume.
Wake up, coffee, Leland, repeat...Thank you 🙏
That song is pure magic.
All you guys made some great music together. Vince, Lukether, JT, Jackson Brown, Russ, Nigel Olsson Dee Murray some of my favorites.
I really enjoy hearing of your friendship with other musicians. RIP Carlos and Steve P.
Okay, i am going to check out more Vince Gill now-I would have never listened to this on my own... what a voice he has!
fulltiltgonzales - Vince Gill is awesome. His musical history is amazing. You should also check out here in youtube, where Vince is talking about his dad. It's hysterically funny. Vince could easily be a comedian. Also check out Marty Stuart!
This song is a jewel... And you are a jewel, too. Thank you
Another beautiful song ! Thanks for turning me on to these hidden gems.
What a lovely, generous person you are to share your life and experiences. Thank you.
Dear Leland, I can't tell you how much I enjoy your daily musings, reminiscing and of course the playing.
This Vince Gill recording demonstrates perfectly how you are capable to keep things simple and yet completely support the song, because that is exactly what the song requires. Many a fellow bass player would succumb to the temptation of trying to make their part a little more interesting with some more intricate patterns etc. You however just throw in the occasional flourish, just enough to accentuate things where necessary. And that, sir, is why I (and so many others) admire you deeply.
What is also pleasing to me is that you confirm my opinion of the dearly missed Carlos V, when comparing his "feel" to that of the great Porcaro. I discovered Carlos far too late, because I discovered JT far too late (no worries; I made up for it), but when I did -thanks to JT's live album-, I clearly recall me immediately reaching for the sleeve notes to learn who the drummer was, as he reminded me so of Jeff's playing!. The world lost those 2 uber-talented cats far too soon!!!!
Anyway, love your work, love your YT postings, keep both of them coming please!. Stay humble, stay inspiring, stay safe. Rock on!
This channel makes my lockdown. Love the journey you’re taking us on, thank you for taking the time to do this. I’ve listened to you ever since I was a little boy , with Phil, and James and so many others. It’s so great to get this immersed in your world and letting us be a part of it.
I often wonder, "Do these folks have any concept of just how truly important they are to us?" Thanks Leland!
What a nice break from cutting grass. I got totally engrossed. Now, back to work!
You know what Leland, you are awesome. Your a good man. Thanks for sharing you Great stories.
I hope you know how fortunate you are to have been born into the generation you were born into.
Some of us were born a generation too late. We wish the world you came from was still the world today.
It’s people like you who made us want to do what you do.
What a beautiful song.
You play with your soul. You are a man who has extreme sensitivity.
Thanks Leland!
Ohhh wow, that's one beautiful bass part under one beautiful song. Didn't know this song. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for speaking about Carlos. I miss him too.
Fine finger work. I played bass in a road band and I admire your pickin'. God bles...and bless Vince Gill...and our country.
Carlos was a treasure and so are you Leland
Thank you Mr. Sklar for expressing your humanity in a time when it seems that
less and less Americans seem to care.
Never heard this song before! Beautiful!
Lovely video tonight. These short videos allow each of us to get away from our self.. Thanks! By the way, I live alone, and I am terrible company (with myself).
Beautiful song. 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Love Vince and Amy as well. And love your stories as well.
Thanks for the beautiful music.
you left the room and were transported back. It brought tears to my eyes.
A shorty but such a goodie!!! Look forward to seeing you tomorrow! Hope your hands feel rested tomorrow,
Lee, thanks so much for your videos It makes life these days so much better .
Vince Gill, another incredibly gifted musician, singer, songwriter, you name it. Work your magic, Lee!
Vince is gifted , but let’s not forget The late great Carlos Vega on Drums🥁
nice bass part.......very fitting......that song still gives me thar shivers. Never let go brother!
Every time I hear Vince sing I think angles must sing this way. Just one of the greatest vocals ever and yes one of the best guitar players I have ever witnessed. .
What a great song. Love Vince
Man that little riffs you did gave me goose bumps. Awesome Le!!!
Superbly understated arrangement; everything in its place, nothing overplayed and everyone serving the song - the way it should be. I'll be checking out Carlos and Vince. Thanks Lee. Kind regards, Chris.
Thanks for sharing some stories about Carlos, he is missed very much. We all need to remember during these stressful days to show some patience and respect for each other. God bless Leland, you're THE BEST!!
Absolutely Killer....Thanks for the Awesomeness...
Leland, you are a champion!!!!!. Thanks for your good taste, from Argentina a big hug
I enjoy your playing evry time please keep them coming from Jamaica
Can I say I love you sir? Your God's given gift is a blessing to us
Thank you for sharing and all the positive vibes bass brother!
Enjoying hearing your stories and your playing, and reminding me of how I enjoyed working on jingle tracks for Budweiser with you. I have a Vince Gill story: I had hired my friend, Ray Benson of Asleep at The Wheel to broker/arrange/compose a Budweiser track with The Sweethearts of The Rodeo. Janice Gill and her sister (?) were to meet us for a rehearsal at S.I.R. practice studios in Nashville on the night before the session. Vince Gill showed up in place of his then wife, Janice, because she had voice problems, and Vince volunteered to cover her parts and then teach them to her in the morning before the session, as a way to give her voice a needed rest. He also wanted to hang out with Ray. Lucky me. I got to work with him in the rehearsal and then was invited to have dinner and hang with him and Ray afterwards for a couple hours at a nearby restaurant. What a sweet guy and open and friendly personality, beyond his superior musical talents and generous working soul. This was in maybe 1986?
Thanks for your efforts on these songs and videos.
thank you for generously sharing maestro!
The bass is so simple for most of the tune. But I love those very quick flourishes that you throw in. It's almost like there'll never be enough room for 'em and that surely you'll run out of time, but somehow, you make them fit. Very smooth indeed; I was impressed. Signed, the other Lee.
Carlos had the most amazing sounding set of Gretsch drums.
"hands feel like Smithfield hams." Does that mean you've got Pork Chops?
Wow, fantastic licks placed perfectly! Very nice. I'm going to have a great time learning this.
Wonderful awesome Lee. It's a pleasure to listen to you play and share you're perspective and stories of your friends and partners. Thanks I sure hope we get some more opportunities to see you at Vancouver Island music Fest again. Someday. Thanks for being good to us.
I was clubbing around then. I'm a huge Weather girls (2 Tons of Fun), Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder fan! Wow Cool stories. Thank you again.
What a truly beautiful song. Wow! Thanks for this one, Lee.
Thanks so much for this... Rick Beato stuff is off the charts fun... Glad you plugged in with Rick, looking forward.
Great tune! Thanks for sharing 👌🏻🕶✌🏻
Ive never seen or heard anyone like you. One minute your chatting so brilliantly, with your great stories and wisdom.
Then as soon as you press that button, and the music starts, boom, you are in another dimension, its unreal.
On the money every time.
I have watched every lockdown session you have produced, but this Fleece inspector session...........Man!! Im gonna call my new band, The Fleece Inspectors!!
Thankyou so much....
Adriana was a girl in Nashville who died in a drive-by shooting. She was close in age to Vince's daughter Jenny. Vince wrote the song from the perspective of Adriana's parents.
That is exactly correct. If he has been such good friends with Vince Gill for so many years and played with him, I would definitely think he should know the correct story behind his songs.
@@conniepennington1167 actually when you've played on over 2,600 things you may not quite remember every little detail.
they're also talking almost 25 years ago. that's kind of an insensitive comment.
Vince Gill's 4 disc album 'These Days' is a gem among the many.
Another gift you’ve given us! Wonderful tribute to Carlos. I can’t stop laughing over the fleece inspector story. It’s funny how outsiders/media can create an alternate reality for themselves based on their own projection.
Thanks Lee another great video great song awesome bass playing.
Beautiful!! Thx Mr. Skylar!
A great weekend to you to, and stay as safe as you can👍
Beautiful! How lucky are we!
If more musicians were like Leland.... the world would be a better place. Top tier musicians like this have no idea how much it means to amateur musicians (like me) to catch a glimpse into their worlds.. to hear the stories. I am a drummer but I have been watching this guy play bass in awe for 30 years. Pure gold Leland.. .thank you for taking the time.
What an amazing memory. How in the world can he just play (never looks at a music score) these songs and ...be right there. Amazing. Thank you for sharing all this music. Peace,
Loved all the moves and flourishes you played in the 2nd half of the songs. And they perfectly demonstrated how to stay out of the way of the vocal and lead guitar in the solo. Bout as good as it gets sir!
I love VG and one of my favorite shows was when Vince sat side by side with Lyle Lovett trading songs and stories. ♥️ Your sessions here are just fabulous. Thank you so much!
Thank you, sir, for making my evening complete! I look forward to your latest video each night.
I really appreciate how you take a moment in between lines to snap the occasional finger or whip a hand in time...it helps demonstrate how impeccable your timing is!
I also LOVE how you incorporate slides up and down the neck...noticeable particularly in the Zevon video, but here as well.
See ya tomorrow night!
You are such a treasure. I can relate to the sore hands after doing yard work. Ya can’t not do it though. Cuz it’s therapy.
Love these vids!! I study it all. So good! Thanks and will watch a bunch more! :)
Blows me away just how much many differant artists you have played with , I would never have imagined. I find it very interesting thanks for putting this content out there look forward to it every day
Yes, Carlos was the perfect drummer for JT. You both had such a great foundation for those records. I saw Carlos with James, but Jimmie was on bass. I have been trying to figure out Carlos grooves for years and I have grown. Trying to figure out your bass parts too. That makes me a better drummer. And bass player. You are a gem. This is like listening to my big brother. So much inspiration and insight, beauty and wisdom.
Great story as always Leland, Carlos was a monster, by the way you nailed the balance in the room today ,sounded awesome 👏
That was just beautiful. I love Vince Gill's music (and this song in particular). Your bass runs up high on the neck were beautiful. Love this video.
Here is Victoria Australia we are finally able to visit our elderly parents after many many weeks. So great to be able to see them in person. Self iso has worked here. Still very cautious.
Would love to see a little more hot rod action! Loving every post.
Dr Mr Sklar about the thumbs down some people are never happy ,but know others are .The bass volume sounded great for me today .But always enjoy seeing and hearing you . U inspired me to figure out a song .Never Been Any Reason. -Head East.
Always great to hear your stories!! Lots of energy from Spain!
Those couple of bits around the octave are spectacular, thank you.
Another great video! I've subscribed to Beato's channel for years now. So cool that you two got together. Looking forward to the interview!
Good afternoon Lee love the story's as always and the variety of music and be always open minded as musicians are to all kinds of music. Thanks my friend. 🎶🎵
Such a soft, mellow, beautiful song...loved watching and hearing what goes into (and being able to clearly hear the bass.) take care of those magic hands Lee and thanks for making a little part of my evening so much better! ❤️
I didn't know I needed this video. Grew up listening to Vince. Brings back a ton of memories. And the stories make it that much better!
That is a beautiful song. Thanks Lee!
Hi Lee, thanks for a cool video, I hadn't heard that song before today, and really dug it, so thanks for another enjoyable song.. stay safe, Peace.
I look forward to seeing and hearing from you every day getting an amazing close up view of your fabulous musicianship, your stories that make me laugh out loud and your beautiful genuine humanity. You are a treasure. Thank you!
Thank you for the share and insight Leland. This was one of my favorite cds when it came out. I enjoy hearing the stories of the simple nuances you add to the tracks that are so simple yet effective that don’t always jump out in a song.
The love you show for both the artist/friends and almost secondarily they amazing music makes this channel must see. Thank you.
Thank you once again. These really are priceless.
I love Leland a little more every time I hear him talk. I didn't know how much of a legend he is when I first found this channel. Thank you so much for the music, the stories, and for being such a humble living legend.
appreciate you - take good care mr. Sklar!
This is probably one of the beautiful things i've ever watch in my Life! Much Love from Brasil smooth master!
