Sticking with guitar greats, but more of a beatnik vibe.
Great day for it!

I've never been one for scatting, any sort, but give it a minute or skip and watch what this young gal can do.
There's a lot more of her on youtube. She's impressive!

Mohini Dey, Indian and her father was a jazz bass artist as well.




Brief studio work. She's the full package!

Mohini can jam that fretless bass! As a non-player, I wonder if fretless is harder because there is no visual cue where the player's fingers should be. Or if fretless allows the player to be loose and free-flow. The fifth string probably helps free-form playing too.

The "scat" in this Mohini performance is much more fitting to the music being played...

Got hooked on her a few years ago because of this video

Practice and muscle memory make visuals less important.
Ever seen a musician with all the visuals or not close their eyes and just jam? Frets or not.

Practice upon talent. Takes both.

Fifth string is just one more note sequence available, usually tuned lower than the low E.

Dozens of popular string tunings available to make talking about it even more complicated.
Nope. There is not just one way to tune.

Phenominal music from a 4 string bass! This is my solace many times! Refreshing and relaxing! In my "old age" I need more melodic music rather than the abstract!

Classic!
I don't listen much country these days, but I always prefer the '70s and '80s sounds. They're not all Buck and George, Tammy and Reba.
Lots of others out there!

DAC is another good one.

Politics of the sponsored Hat Crowd put me off in late '80s, early '90s enough to give it up and move away from the Nashville scene.

For me this age, Jazz and Classical, mostly, but I grew up in country music. Skipped school to play rock.

It's still there with me. All of it!
I can still show them how to improve their sound. That's what I do.

Travellin' Man & Beautiful Loser was my favorite…

 

[PowderApe]

In keeping with the Bob Seger vibe...

 

[PowderApe]

A refreshing new Country sound. These three sisters give hope for a new generation of talent and some good tunes!

 

[PowderApe]

The fabulous 80's! No tats, no piercings! Lots of good music! A more sane world! I sure miss those days! Here's a couple of favorite flashbacks!
