I can play the bass and many styles but how can someone play quarter notes, sing and slap the double bass all at the same time.
I`ve been at a local concert where the double bass player could do that...they play roackabily so the lines where simple rock and roll lines...but incredible how the guy could swing, sing and slap all at the same time..
Do you know many like this, can you do that?? or do you feel like me

I dont know anyone who can do what that guy does. However, I know that no matter how good he, or someone else is, there will always be someone better. For that reason I never feel frustrated in this kind of situation ( envious ?.. definitely ). It just makes me more determined to work harder to improve my skills and abilities.

The guy practised his butt off to be able to play how he wanted to play. We're all capable of doing it; you just have to put in the work.
