zeronyne Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Abe taking an "energetic" solo on the smoothest of smooth jazz tunes, "Etude" by Lee Ritenour. It starts pretty mellow but then... "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxofunk Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Q: What does a 250 pound bass playing monster do on stage? A: Anything he wants to! 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 "Please, please, PLEASE shoot video!" "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.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrunning3 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Matt and Phil, I agree with you. I tap my feet when I play. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 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!

ZZ Thorn Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Abe is awesome. He should dance like that at all times. You KNOW that was a crowd pleaser. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 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. Free download of my cd!.

Phil W Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 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.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
