Sheehan doesnt wank for most of the songs he plays in, infact he holds down the groove traditionally for the most part. He does go really really during his 'showcase' though... which is different from what he plays in a full band context.
If I have to compare the guy in the video to anyone, it would be john myung

I agree. Very technical, but Justin Chancellor is a total inspiration for me.

Differently skilled is much much cooler.  |

I lean towards the Jamerson or Bernard Edwards school myself, but I have an appreciation for others that can do what I cannot, regardless of style. |

| | | | The slap part sounded pretty good. Very good speed. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but very skilled nonetheless. What bass was he playing? Crazy finish. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: newcastle upon tyne (UK) | | i prefer the more melodic tapping he does (reminds me of JAE on life after love and some others) but i do love a little J metal every now and then.
he's a great player and yeah he does the job really well, no over playing or un necessary wankery.
