What do you think of this James guy and his lessons?

I find him incredibly annoying. Almost like a game show host. Plus, I know it's shallow, but the eyebrows are just too much.

I watched a few minutes - guy seems quite normal and fine to me. The quick edits for what becomes almost like constant talking is what is required to keep attention on content creators videos. He is just playing the YouTube game in that sense. But even without that, I still felt totally comfortable with the dude. And I don't see why anyone would care about his eyebrows, they never stopped Abe Vigoda.

Like I said, I know it's shallow - they're just distracting. But I could get over them if I didnt find his delivery annoying. But, honestly, I find most people annoying, so it's probably just me..

Daric Bennet - annoying
Scott Devine - annoying
That dude - annoying
Janek Gwizdala - annoying (but amazing content so I will suffer it)

For me, I like Talkingbass, Jim Stinnet, Adam Neely, MarloweDK, Anthony Muthurajah, Donstrumental, Bass Wizard, Dan Hawkins, Joe Hubbard, Aimee Nolte, Rick Beato, Glen Browne, MusicCollegeTV, Ariane Cap, Julia Hofer.

OP here.

I was asking because even though he does provide good content, I find he's got that fast-talking annoying "talented younger brother who just has to show you his latest trick" style.

I know it is shallow as well but I wish he'd either shave or grow a beard. Otherwise he looks like he just came off a three-day drunk.

I really like Jim Stinnet too. His calm, pleasant grandfatherly style fit well with me.

I find it annoying that he's half my age, plays better than me, has better equipment than me, and still finds time to create helpful bass instructional content.

Yeah but you can grow a beard

Yeah but you can grow a beard

Only true if you consider Shaggy from Scooby Doo to have a beard...

Ooh, you're right! He needs to get threaded.

I liked the video. He seems like an all right chap. I’d share a pint and tell war stories with him. (And that’s about all the Britt I can muster.)

Sentina's a killer bassist. Her time and tone are awesome. And she smiles like EVH... gotta love that.

ok ok, I'm trying to avoid saying anything sexist. don't judge me.

Agree... never seen him before, but that was well put together and informative and effectively played and taught.

IF I had to work up the Blues Brothers' take on Sweet Home Chicago, no offense to Mr. Eyebrows, why would I do anything else but chart out what Duck Dunn played ?

Eyebrows are the low hanging fruit of manscaping.

Best value to quality content is Damien Erskine. His video are amazing, and so well done.

 

[JC Nelson]

Caterpillars or not. The guy is stepping up to improve the world by sharing his gift with aspiring bass players. I really admire that.

As a bonus we are all taking about him now. I had no idea he existed 5 min ago. Thanks to the OP for the cool post.

I wish you hadn't posted that. It's taking every fiber of my being not to respond the way I want to.
