A friend of mine just sent me this: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...=653317497&n=2

He plays that same country-music solo that we've all heard a million times, but the beginning and end sound a bit different to me.

That's the intro footage from his first instructional video "Slap, Pop & Tap For The Bass" released by Hot Licks Video in 1988. That's the video that blew my mind and showed me that bass is more than root-fifth. It really helped me to improve as a bassist, not only because Stu's cool style but because he's such a nice and clear teacher there.

Stu Hamm f'n rules. I was mostly surprised to see him NOT thumpin' through a Hartke rig! Either way, Stu rocks.

Mikey, that bit at the start is part of Sexually Active, another great Stu tune!

yep, Stu's one of my favourite bassists, alongside Jonas Hellborg and Geddy Lee. I ahve both of his instructional videos, and I decided to put them on DVD since I was worried about wearing the tapes out!
