      What do you think you are missing? 18 years seems like an awful lot of time on an instrument to play pretty much anything.

      @@deneskiss9756 there are many musicians that have been playing for a long time, but do not necessarily practice multiple styles of music. And just because I’ve been playing for that long doesn’t mean I’ve been practicing that long. But life, kids, school, and work has taken precedent.

    Your slapping and tapping are, as aways, amazing, but this, I felt in my soul, because of the fretless solo. Don't hate me, but it finally feels like your soul has been integrated into your music. You are, hands down, one of the, if not THE, greatest bassists on the planet, but, only recently, have your videos begun to move me emotionally. Keep it up. Love you, man.

While your technical proficiency is truly 'Other Worldly', the truly amazing thing, (and forgive me it is difficult to put this into words), You are able to emotionally connect with the listener, you compositions are very pleasant, technically challenging, a bit cheeky at times, uplifting, bring joy and peace to the soul, and give the listener an experience that is not available anywhere else that I know of. Thank-you for sharing, I am now going to quit music... Until that inner voice says: "Play again now" (sorry if this is in any way corny.. I did mention it was difficult to find words to respectfully convey this)
