This guy has got this groove smack dead right...

Great demo of how to play this old Narada Michael Walden classic. I loved this, excellent vid for those who would like to cop this one. Shame it's only 4 minutes.

This guy shows how it's possible to play quite a "busy" line whilst still totally relaxed and without losing any groove. The funk is in the ghost notes, baby! Nice.

Do you rate this or what?

It's not easy, you're right - but this guy makes it look that way.

This totally is not "my kind of music", but that guy is absolutely nailing the groove on that one, very smooth. Nice work.

This guy can really lay it down. His ghost note work is superb. Thanks for posting the clip.

There's another guy on there doing it on a Jazz who also kicks it. Plays a little harder than this guy. But I really like this guy. He's kickin'.

I've got a big gig Thursday that I need to practise hard for, but once that's gone I'm going to spend some time at the weekend copping this line, I love it.

Great stuff, it's amazing how much he reminds me of Marlow DK in his relaxed manner.

Very good, it's a style I play a lot. The key with that stuff is to absolutely NOT rush, at all. Rushing it kills the groove instantly. That dude's got it down.

I'm a guitar player, but it reminds me of why I'm a total sucker for a great bass groove. I could listen to this kind of playing all day long.

That'll be called "playing at the correct tempo", then.

I love the sig, by the way. Cockermouth is a great little town!
