Fun clip... great story on how he got the bass! And, his 'white people ruin everything' comment is hilarious.

I love that clip. Guy Pratt gets a whole lot of funk out of that bridge pickup!

He is pretty funky indeed =)

Notice how relaxed he is...

you got it. I can't get enough of this clip....copping his fingerings right now actually.

ha! good stuff.

I saw him do this in his live show, except he used a nice old wine-red jazz... he had a name for it but i can't remember what. i guess you wouldn't take that burst one anywhere you didn't have to.

Oh man... I got the same Jazz! Really feel good about her now.

Now to learn how to play it like Guy.... maybe?? Good luck to me!

That'd be Betsy. That bass has ssen so much in its own right.

If, like me, you're otherwise unfamiliar with his career, I can't recommend highly enough the related videos. You'll laugh...and hear some really fine playing.
