Facial Expression

I lol'd pretty hard watching this guy play. He doesn't play it especially well, and his bass sounds kinda... bad. Could also be the mic. But, haha, just watch his face.

Ah that was pretty moderate as far as facial expression go. Now this guy is talented but wow what an expression, sure it is due to the level of difficulty. But read the feedback some chumps won't give him a break and I am pretty sure they can't do what he does.

Considering he's playing an SX there's a pretty good chance he IS lurking somewhere around talkbass. I mean, where else would anyone hear about SX (and actually know it was worth buying) if not here?

That was a pretty moderate bass face. At least he wasn't doing the "chicken head" concurrently with the scrunched mouth thing he had going.

He's probably regretting having his fingers superglued together. I've never seen anyone shift so much. You shouldn't have to do that to play this piece... and he has a 5 string.

My brother once told me that when I play I form my mouth into a puckered bung shape.

I asked him how come he had such a good visual image of a puckered bung.

Nice Video.

Yeah, he is good, but the face almost makes you forget about the playing. It looks like he is taking a dump while playing.
