So good dude. Laying it down. Love it.

[@tate_berkey]

Thanks Walter!

[@ryancox5097]

Tate, I love your priorities as a player. Seems like you're foregoing the whole Gospel Chops thing, the extreme metal thing, the nine-limb independence thing, etc. Seems like you're mostly just focusing on pocket.
Freaking love it.

[@tate_berkey]

Appreciate it Ryan. All of the stuff you mentioned is super fun, but it has nothing to do with emotion and feel (for the most part). That’s what I’m more about doing. I want people to feel something and move when I play music! That’s a bigger challenge than getting my hands to play “fast enough”.

[@ryancox5097]

@@tate_berkey You make extremely good points, man. Much respect to you and your craft!

[@morbidmanmusic]

@@tate_berkey I wanted to like you till you said this silly line...but it has nothing to do with emotion and feel (for the most part). At least you said (for the most part) knowing it was a slip

[@tate_berkey]

My point is that one does not have to have super fast chops to be able to emote something on their instrument. That is all great, and can be a useful tool in the right musical situation, but that has nothing to do with groove and feel. If it was a “slip” I wouldn’t have written it at all…

[@jon325]

This is so good! Very well done and so accurate! I can tell you put a lot of time into getting this one down nearly beat for beat! Great feel too! Subscribed!

[@tate_berkey]

Appreciate it!

[@eldonb402]

Solid cover!

[@radicaster1]

Excellent Tate! Great groove.

[@tate_berkey]
