Dude pops with his pinky for the G string, his ring for the D, his middle for the A, and his index for the E. The thumb technique is more or less standard. Interesting.

A well known luthier gave me this guy's CD because he liked him so much. I listened to it and felt bad. I think I lost a little respect for the luthier.

Cool stuff. He has some slap lessons on his youtube channel. I've had little luck finding intermediate lessons/licks for slap outside of a few primus break downs so this is an awesome find for me!

Its cool if your not into his style but to find him lame is pretty rough! I like his percussive style of playing on some songs!

Saw him at Pasadena Bass Day. Him and his drummer Chris are nice down to earth guys. I think they mentioned a new cd later this fall.

It sure is, JAUQO. Say, I've heard some of your recordings. You probably like Doug John's music, too. I hear some similarities

I dig Doug as a person first(he's a good friend of mine) and I dig his music but I would have to respectfully disagree, I hear no similarities in the music that we both do.

Jauqo's music is a 1986 Chevrolet Silverado growling down the street chasing you into the haunted house of funk.

good sh!t.

Just dont stare too long at Delawn's outfit...

ahh, everybody is entitled to an opinion. =)

But seriously..looking far too long at Delawns outfit will cause blindness, dementia, and has been known to cause sporadic bouts of narcolepsy.

My feelings aren't hurt at all. I just thought it was very interesting how you seem to really dislike Doug's music to the level of losing respect for the luthier who gave you a copy of his CD.
