      not wrong during the lower parts, there is a lot of focus on half steps from the root, which creates a spooky kind of vibe. There is a lot of that in both jazz and metal, the feel of any key is determined by where the half steps are in relation to the root, When he goes low, it's very Phrygian feeling, which already sets a bit of an unsettling vibe if you lean into that half step above the root note :)

      I was just noticing that, Charles knows his bass better than I know my own ass. This guy can really play. I wonder if he writes all his own shit, but no matter where he gets it from I have a really hard time imagining that there's anyone else out there who's sheer ability to play matches his, or even comes close.
      I Flea ever retires he could be the next bassist for the Chili Peppers, and I doubt it would even be the least bit difficult for him :)

    Dude I am just going thank you putting out such a tastefully rhythmical and melodic led piece. Enjoyed you jumping in and out of the 'check out what I can do elements' and going back into the 'holding it down places' to keep it a rounded piece of music. More times than not when I personally turn to watch a slap video I might as well be in an old fashioned 1950's typing Hall with all clickedy click and ghost noting going on when all you want is to hear the bass sound and gear being used in way that you as a fellow low ender can relate to as real world playing, if you practice as hard as you must do. Peace out man.
