      firstly, dude... you are a generational talent. insane....
      so many of us dont even play base but are addicted to your content.
      Secondly, PLEEEEEEEEEASE do "Snow" by red hot chilli peppers. The song is NOTORIOUSLY hard to play on guitar at the right tempo and for as long as John Frusciante does. Seeing it on bass with your added pizzaz would be incredible!
      EDIT: I liked my own comment, everyone else that agrees, may I please ask that you so the same. As in like _my_ comment. Not your own.

      ​@coleavis2150 Eh, I played piano first, then guitar, then bass, then violin, now I'm learning a flute 🤷 A D3 is a D3 no matter what you're playing. If you know how scales, arpeggios, and chord progressions work it does not take long to learn an instrument/song. The worst part is adjusting to the different techniques and hand placements. Regardless of what someone can play- a lot can be done in a studio using equipment and I'm fairly certain if *I* can compose "not too bad" music, he can absolutely do better.

And even though it is hard to listen to the song nowadays, hearing your version was kind of like a veil being lifted from my eyes.
