After taking a lot of heat for posting audio only files, I've re-recorded my work with video. I hope you fine it interesting. The audio came off of the camera.

I could really use some feedback.

Interesting approach. Very "strummy" but pretty. Nice bass too!

I watched your vids a little while back, but couldn't really think of much to say about them. They are good, and your tone is great, but I don't think they are strong enough for solo compositions. They would be great ideas to work into a song, but to be perfectly honest, they bored me pretty quick.

To hear your technique/tone/ideas in a band situation would be pretty cool though.

Beautiful! Come on Come on is wonderful. Great playing! I love your tone.
A violin accompaniment would sound amazing.

This is essentially what I wanted to say, but couldn't say it as nice. I'm not good at that.

I think your playing is beautiful, but additional melodic content would be awesome. I just have really bad musical ADD, and need more going on. Violin actually would sound amazing...

Thank you all for the feedback.

As for the actual bass, I do not use the humbucker on these videos. I put that pick up on in early 1971 after hearing (0r FEELING) Felix Pappilardi with Mountain with his overdriven Gibson. It was an experiment I was never pleased with.... I now understand the EBO's shorter string length and thicker strings

I'll be adding more videos in the near future.
