Jack Casady - underrated!!!!!

[Slax]

I hate to say it, and hate to have it, but I have the rythym guitarists hair from Jefferson Airplane. (I think he is at least, excuse my ignorance, but the one with the blonde hair).

Yipes. Great bassist though, I think we can all agree on that.

rhythm guitarist Paul Kantner

lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen

Lotta love for Jack around here, but I'll tag on to this thread anyway.

I am obsessed with jack casady's style of playing, sound, and everything!!! He is my absolute hero. If I could jam with one person it would be Jack! I feel like he is sooo underrated. everyone talks about Jaco and all the other big bassists, but nobody really seems to recognize jack! why is that? i realize it's a different type of music and a different plain all together... but still. he's the man as far as i'm concerned. thoughts?

p.s. just check out this clip if you're not familiar with his work. he's phenominal.

finally pulled the trigger on his instructional video. I've been intrigued by all the video clips for awhile now, great stuff.

sure thing! it is kinda hard to find because the actual name of the song is "mann's fate"(at least i'm pretty sure). so this probably wouldnt come up in a search...
