Sunday evening is always music appreciation time for me, well every day is but I specifically dedicate time to it on Sundays.

great find. one of my best friends when I was growing up played bass just like that. He was a bit of a father figure to me, and we've since lost touch - so this made me a bit tearry-eyed!

Every lick is sooo nice, the rhythm changes come out of nowhere but fit perfectly. When he starts sliding the harmonics it makes me simultaneously want to give up playing instruments and never stop

He is amazingly talented, but I've never cared for his style (or his bass tone). But he is awesome.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
