zeronyne MP Hall of Fame Member Registered: 05/16/03 Posts: 6232 Loc: Chicago/NW Indiana	VIDEO LINK Abe taking an "energetic" solo on the smoothest of smooth jazz tunes, "Etude" by Lee Ritenour. It starts pretty mellow but then... $\:D$ _________________________ United Airlines Breaks Guitars

saxofunk MP Hall of Fame Member Registered: 08/21/01 Posts: 3945 Loc: Tulsa, OK.	Q: What does a 250 pound bass playing monster do on stage? A: Anything he wants to! :rolleyes: Long ago I read a comment (by a total idiot, I'm sure) that effectively stated professional musicians don't tap their toes. At last, I have validation for keeping time with my foot all the way up to my armpit. _________________________ - Matt W.

Phil W 10k Club Registered: 04/07/05 Posts: 11074 Loc: London, England	"Please, please, PLEASE shoot video!" $\:D$ $\:D$ "professional musicians don't tap their toes" I guess just not on a hollow stage with a quiet band. I took lessons from a great bassist in LA (whose played with many top people) who taps altenate left and right foot. _________________________ http://philwbass.wordpress.com

My daughter is being taught that tapping your toe to keep rhythm is important as well. It addes to the skills IMHO. _________________________ -- Joe -- "If you think you're too old, then you are." --Lemmy Kilmister "I have not seen a man who is not god already." --Austin Osman Spare

C. Alexander C. MP Hall of Fame Member Registered: 06/11/01 Posts: 5188 Loc: Brighton, UK	My god, that was awful. How can one man be so cheesy? Abe Laborial's solo on the other hand was monstrous - but that smooth jazz cheese, oh my, I've never wanted to smash a guitar so much... Just goes to show that even the baddest bass solo can't save such anodyne music. Props to Abe for trying, though!

jeremy c 10k Club Registered: 02/01/01 Posts: 12637 Loc: Berkeley,CA,UNITED STATES	He usually does dance around during his solos...I've seen him live several times. Most of the time he plays with all these great L.A. players who just stand there. At the end of the show, Laboriel is the only one the audience remembers. _________________________ Visit my webpage Look for me in the August BP Mag or online at bassplayer.com

Phil W 10k Club Registered: 04/07/05 Posts: 11074 Loc: London, England	I got criticised for moving/dancing around too much during a clinic performance of Stratus this summer. I think I'm going to carry on regardless! Although I wasn't soloing so maybe it was too distracting! $;\)$ _________________________ http://philwbass.wordpress.com
