      If it technically couldn't play two voices he would be breaking the laws of physics. He isn't. The instrument has an infinite amount of possibilities and his talent should show that those possibilities are all accessible with time, energy, and passion.

      It depends on what you want to play. For me, it’s Ryan Martinie and Justin Chancellor. Fantastic bassists with their own unique style. I think the playing here is good for what it is, but it’s just not my thing and probably isn’t a realistic playing style for most bassists who play live.

    Very impressive how you play the lead and rhythm simultaneously. Really awesome.
