P Diddy's Makin the Band.

everyone seems to be praising the musicianship on the show but i was thoroughly disappointed. Diddy commands the best musicians in the world. These cats are mediocre at best. Not only in a playability sense. They are all amatuers. I honestly feel I am light years ahead of most everyone on that show. I think ive learned more about my fellow TBers then i did about this show.

Weak Weak.......

So I'm sure that you can breeze through the etudes flawlessly and blaze through all of the songs, correct? There serious talent on display, IMHO. Rawbiz, I will definitely be looking you up, my man!!! Sekou Bunch has a song on his new CD appropriately titled "Haters":

A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste! :cool:

OK.

I don't know about any one else here but I would love to check out some of your work if possible.
 
Man stop it, I aint nobody.... thanks for the love though man

Raw...from what I have read about you and heard..that is TOTALLY UNTRUE. seems like a lot of people look up to you for your attitude as well as your playing. That says a lot in my book.

Now...how about this. WANNA TAKE ME AS ONE OF YOUR STUDENTS? Just kidding...well no I am not..shoot....I could use the help, and I cant loose by asking.:cool: I may get flamed for asking.:help::hyper:
 
Check this out:



I've been aware of Jamareo for a few years now. Not sure what the point of the links was in reference to my post.

Just went back and checked the episode...

"I can't play key bass. I don't even know where A is. Oh my God".

Can't play key bass but appears to nail Pleasure Principle. Plays key bass in your first link. The second link was a promo.

The first link was to illustrate how the show has enriched his skills, he went from not knowing with an A is to being able to play key bass.

The second link illustrates how being on the show helped him get an endorsement with Dean guitars.

I like how in the first episode he says he wasn't even going to fly out to LA but only did because his dad insisted that he go and bought him a ticket or something to that effect.

They shouldn't call this a reality show, really they shouldn't.

Do you really believe he had zero keyboard experience?? A high percentage of church bred musicians play multiple instruments!

That looks like an old photo. How recent did that happen?

I agree. Almost everyone is a professional musician/vocalist! They're sorta portraying them as amateurs and wannabees!
