    I dont think Ive ever seen a musician like Lee. You can tell he's not thinking about what's coming next or paying attention to technique. He's so comfortable with the music and the instrument he's literally living note to note and enjoying every single second

    It always amazes me that a guy like Lee - who has played with so many great musicians and is so respected in the music industry - comes across totally down to earth like the grandfather everyone would love to have. I've seen people with only a fraction of his success going crazy and behaving like they're some godly entity.

    Absolutely love Lee's ear for melody. I'm weird, but tiny sections or fills in songs can really hit me in the feels! 5:59 - 6:03 is defo one of those lines that I could listen to on repeat. If you listen from 5:52 to get a feel for what he's been doing previous and then when he changes it up for the beginning of the outro. A bit of suspense as he returns to this a few bars after along with other fills for the outro, he changes his timing and plays fewer notes in the bar, but sustaining the notes a little longer. Love it! ; )

    Lee. Thank you- for this! My big brother is Joel Grundahl - a guitarist of note - and good friends with Sheldon. :)
    I played oboe as a student. But I moved onto soprano and barry sax. The reason I am contacting you is what you play. When I played barry sax, I would do it in a basement. The sound was amazing. Going from 'top' (oboe) to 'bottom' (barry) - it gave me a different perspective. Often, I look at Glenn Gould and his left hand. It is that same thing - the bass just drives the music.
    Anyhow. Thank you Lee!

      @@vberthome It actually sounds slightly "off" when the bass is upfront like this, but I think it is quite deliberate and masterful.
      By letting the kick drum hit just a microsecond ahead of his bass note, he makes the bass guitar lay into the mix without competing or stepping over the drums. When everything is at the right volume, the overall effect is as though the kick drum itself is sounding these bass notes. It makes it sound rounder, thicker, and fuller.
      That's why in a world of Charles Berthouds, Victor Wootens, and John Patituccis, a player like Lee Sklar has still enjoyed secure employment.
      In the same way, some of the "simplest" drummers - Kenny Aranoff, Max Weinberg, etc. - have also had secure employment. It all gets down to how you do the simple thing that you do.
