Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls... listen to his every word. Carefully. This man is pure genius and yet as kind as your grandmother... probably kinder. He is an AMAZING human being. All the love in the world!
Another pedal steel player that subscribes to Lee's channel!!! Bravo!!
@@CARDINAL701 we gotta stick together!! : )
Who let Gandalf out of the Shire?
Jon Green next you’ll be calling him Father Christmas ffs?! 🥱
i know this
Now this Jazz Bass is really the most beautiful piece of Artwork I have ever seen on a Musical Instrument... It reminds me of a 1962 Jazz Bass with a Bad Ass Bridge that was for sale in a small Music Store in Danbury, Conn. back in the mid 80's... The price was 600.00 back then. It was stripped down and stained Walnut. What a Beauty... You are so GREAT Lee........
When you talk about all these stars do you realise you are revered by many people as much as they are? You are an absolute legend! Thanks Leland
I know right.
He doesnt need a picture of BB king signing his bass. Everybody would believe him anyway. (=
@@ArjanYoyoman BB King probably told people " at least I got to play with Lee Sklar before I died!!!
That is a great picture. It reminds me of a person getting knighted, kneeling before the king on his throne.
Just as enjoyable without playing. I imagine I'm one of many who check this every day- not only for the wit and heart you're sharing, but the care and kindness in your continuity in doing this. Take care.
Been amazed and inspired by your genius and style since the late 70s. Heard you first back when you were doing something with Rit or Carlton and you were going by “Lee Sklar” , and have never let you out of earshot since. Thank you very much for showing us musicians how it’s done. You plus any track you are on, Sir.
This is a goldmine of folk knowledge!!! Thank you!!!
I met BB King a few years ago working a concert. I was just a local stagehand, but damned if he did not shake EVERY local's hand after the show. The NICEST man.
WOW! Great job on that '67 bass! Pure genius! Thank you for sharing this and all the great stories!
I just never get tired of listening to this fine man speak. Thank you, Lee!
Lee, your content is amazing and definitely keeps lots of good people going through these hard times. Keep up the great work it’s valued by me and many many others judging by the comments. 👍🏼
Young artist here... You're the man Leland! Thank you for doing these
What B.B King is for you Leland, you are for us...
" Call any vegetable call it by name " My late sister introduced me to the "Mothers of Invention" FSU Eng Lit, University of Illinois computer science. She as I had bands, I just did production, she was a great singer. Thanks for all of the stories. If you have any stories about Jeff Porcaro or Carlos Vega that would be cool ! Namaste
Absolutely love that bass!!!! I could sit for hours and listen to your stories also...Thanks Leland
Leland, I just wanted to say thank you for being a regular guy.
I never would have thought that the daily video log of a living bass legend would brighten my days during a global quarantine, but here we are... Thanks immensely, Mr Sklar, and all the best from Europe!
I’ve always said, “Every project deserves a new tool, and no job is complete until you bleed on it.” Sorry about the finger, but don’t worry about us-we’ll listen to stories while it heals. Take care. Stay home...stay safe...save lives!
For those of you watching on a whim, this is the greatest/luckiest bass player alive, based on the talent he has played behind and made better because of it. He is a child of the sun.
Thanks for all the wonderful info & stories. Be well. Love!
Great carving job!!! I tried my hand at it when my kids were growing up, it’s not easy.take care Leland.John
I wish if those instruments could tell the stories. Oh, wait! We have You Sir, telling us amazing stories, with amazing names. Thank You for sharing. We deeply appreciate it.
Love what you did with the Jazz, great story's again, stay safe and hope your finger wil heal quickly.
Bloody gardening! Enjoy. Thanks Lee.✌🏼
That Peace carved bass is gorgeous.
I like the look and sound of that unique Jazz Bass or yours.
We all appreciate the close look at your gear, and all the super interesting stories that they are a part of.
Positive Vibrations
B B King wow! Love hearing your stories, stay healthy!
Thank you Mr. Sklar for the great music and great stories. Hope the recovery from your rose bush attack will be speedy and you can get back to playing bass again...
Cant thank you enough for your videos and help us to keep our sanity🙌
Thank you for bringing us on your life’s journey. You have made me feel real comfortable and I’m old. Take care and your life and songs have been a pleasure.
It’s great knowing that you were/are a Frank Zappa and Mothers of Invention freak, Lee! I am one, as well.
Ok, I love the carved up J-bass! And at this point in your life I don’t think anyone is going to doubt that BB King signed your bass! Lol! You’re as much of a legend as the artists you’ve played for, if not more so.
And today I have a splinter in the end of the exact same finger
I love that 1962 Jazz Bass (was)
You are very unique!! BB King Story is so awesome too!!
Legend. We're blessed to have this man in our time of living.
The reverence and excitement you show talking about B.B. is exactly how we feel tuning in everyday for your videos.
Ha! Loved the Blazing Saddles reference! ‘Scuse me while I whips this out.
Feel better Mr. Sklar. !!
I so love when you reminisce about your early days and like so many, you started out with an Echo bass, then what it a scuffle it was to come up with $90.00 to purchase your 62' jazz, my first bass was a Hofner, which my folks bought me after we watched The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show, they were by no means in a financial position to spend that kind of money on an 11 year old boy with the attention span of a rock but they took a chance and as they say, the rest is history... thank you Lee for sharing your memories with us and P.S. thanks for turning me on to DINGWALL...I love it!!!
I'm happy to come across this video too! That bass! :) Thanks Leland!
Im started playin bass in 1973 and Sklar was one of the bassplayers among few others i hold on to , thanks
That is really beautiful work on that jazz bass. What a treasure. I wish you speedy healing.
Thats hilarious ! . . . Same thing for me . . "Ïts not a proper day's work, untill I'm bleeding" . . is my line . . .
Thanks for doing this. I absolutely love you channel.
Thanks for keeping these up Lee. If you're still talking gear tomorrow, I'd love you to talk about your preferences for action and neck relief.
Thank you Leland for your Kindness and Sharing and Caring I Love the Gear and I am a Bass player/ CNA .God Bless You Wear Gardening Gloves Your Hands are Your Greatest asset for Bass Peace &Blessing My friend 👍🙏❤
Great stories. Loved the Zappa story -
Get well Leland, perfect opportunity to do a live Q&A. Give us a couple of days warning though. You & Gibbens, beard overload!
Just discovering your videos which are fantastic! Long time big fan of your playing! Big thanks!
Lee is the consummate listener whose tasteful playing elevates everyone else’s playing. It’s obvious it’s the same with his interactions with people in general. A total class act.
I cracked up when you said Ozzie Nelson is a freak compared to you. Loving your videos!
Get well soon Lee!
Iv'e seen that beard in countless videos. With Collins, Clapton, and Toto too? So come to find out that he does this youtube stuff as well. I am glad. Thanks man. I realy appreciate what you do.
Lee, you are a true story teller and you could really fit into the Griot culture from Africa. You are telling history by telling your stories...
...and this Bass!!!
In love with your hippie/jazz bass... you're a genius!!!
Thanks for the video Leland. Have a great day! ✌
Your channel has made a difference to my lockdown in the UK. It makes the world feel a smaller and better place.
Never Trim back the roses before going on stage ! :D Get well soon !
Lee, thanks for sharing so many nice stories with us.
I found it telling (and touching) when you admitted you'd liked to have replaced John Paul Jones some years back. What a resumé though. Tasteful and wise gentleman.
Those roses are like that!!!
Take good care of your finger Lee 💪 thanks again for your video.
this youtube channel is an important historical document
Leland, I am more than excited to be the proud new owner of one of your EA iAmp800s. It’s in transit to the East Coast right now. Cannot wait.. It’s a gift to myself for working long hours on the front lines in the ER during this time that no one is gigging out. Nice to have a side gig in health care I guess. I’m hoping to make it through this ordeal safely and be able to play through your amp and do it justice. I will cherish it.
Through my 30 years as an “accidental” bassist, I have amassed an arsenal of bass gear ( SVT, Edens, Ashdown, Genz Benz, SWR, & Aguilar to name a few). I have found my rigs are getting smaller as I’m getting older! Your iAmp 800 may top them all. You have influenced me musically for my entire life. My style is simpatico with yours, giving the song what it needs and feeling good about it.” No shame in a whole note” as you say. I’m not a chops guy by any means, nor do I need to be. I just wanted to say thanks for the music and for you to know that your amp is going to a good home where it will get some love and use. Suggestions for a cabinet match?
Thanks again Leland,

Really enjoying your videos Lee! Awesome!!
Hi Leland. I don't know if you recall, but you came over to my apt for dinner with Gabi when you had a gig with Judith at the Iridium in NYC a few years ago. I've FB problems myself. Anyhow, it's wonderful to see you. Stay safe and healthy. All the best. Scott.
Legend...... amazing to watch and listen to this guy talk. How cool is this!
The first time I got to talk to you Lee was when Wolfgang was playing a benefit at Elysian Park in a L.A. and you showed me that bass. I used to hang out at the old POP pier in Venice and Wolfgang was rehearsing at Blue Whale rehearsal studios that was under the pier. That was a great time in music. Keep speaking your mind!!!!
Magical times!
I was fortunate to see B B King perform live at the Adler Theater in Davenport, IA some years back. It was prior to 1994, because I was with my first husband who died in mid-1994. What a wild night that was! There were 3 young women sitting a few rows in front of us, and they were tugging on a flask during the entire performance, and their dancing in place got wilder and wilder as the night wore on. Oh my goodness, such a fond memory for me.
I hope you read these comments, Lee, as I have tons of stories for you. . .all true, too. I’ve followed your career for decades!
Hope your finger gets better. You’re a musician, so protect your hands!
❤️ Love from Iowa ❤️

A few years ago I had an 86!japanese power jazz bass, one nigh under influence of substance a got a knife and scratched up the whole body then painted it with pastels then sealed it with hair spray. It used to be metallic banana . Still got it and it’s back to normal now
You're a noble-minded person ... I wish you all the best in the world Mr. Sklar, I can't wait to go back to listening to you, your music makes people better.
Leland is beyond cool! The nicest most humble gentleman I have ever seen on CZcams!
Amazing to hear that you were a big zappa fan. So am I and i got to zappa after I became a Phil Fan and looking at the One size fits all album, reading that Chester played drums on this one. So I bought it and after listening to Inca roads....that got me hooked. And now i am amazed that not only chester has a link to zappa but you have too.
Keep your videos coming. They are really appreciated. Stay healthy and all the best.
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. You seem a really nice genuine guy 🙂
Enjoy your stories! Hope your finger feels better soon...thankful it’s not THE finger!
Praying For You Leland.
From what we know of you the BB King's 80th birthday gig was definitely where you should have been and I would have loved to be in the audience or just a plain old fly on the wall grooving to what went down there on that night. Never talk yourself down Lee, you are one of the greats and your contribution to music is legendary.
Thank you for posting these videos. I really enjoy them!
So cool to see your old Jazz bass, thanks Leland! 👍🏼✨
Much love Lee and thank you for these video's, they keep me sane! x
Thank you again for sharing.
I really enjoy listening to everything you tell us...
Good health to The Finger! The roses are certainly very beautiful!
Thank you sir for your time, it is truly a gift to hear you speak.
Thanks Leland for this. Love your playing and all the stories. Keep it up man!
DUde hope your healing fast ! but man... its nice to hear your voice... Keep up the good work ! MERCI Tabarnak !
Not only you have played on one of my favourite records (Billy Cobham's Spectrum), one of my favourite basslines ever (Stratus! Probably one of the grooviest tunes EVER!) but you are also a big Frank Zappa fan! :D
And you seem to be a decent human being as well.
Kudos from France!
Thank you for this video series. I am learning from you every day.
Hope the finger gets better. Thanks again for cool insights
More gear....Yes!
Fascinating Thank You for sharing
