He's got really good technique, and he's quick...but other than that...umm I dunno  This is kinda the same thing...it starts out nice, but hang in there...not trying to hijack the threadhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ljsZpw_9gI

Mike | MUCH more to my taste.
I don't want to take anything away from the first guy. I mean, I can't do that stuff but... It wasn't very musical.
Neat techniques and effects, though.
Again, Willis is more my taste. |

Edit: Quick hijack, but does anyone know where I could pick up the sheet for Norwegian Wood? That Gary Willis vid rocks my world.

You could just like listen and try and learn it - it's not that hard...  |

| I feel this way about 80% of the accepted pantheon of Bass Gods, so as far as I can tell this guy is awesome.  |
