[@Davenci_T1st]

Those are the perfect words for Aaron...rip legend

[@AryoKurniawan]

2020. Ghostnote managed to provide the best part for Thomas Pridgen. I watched the great 🥁🎶 over and over again

[@gustafsone]

I love how Sput implied that it wasn't a big deal to come up with this composition in 2 weeks time. He's like "yeah, so I just called up my buddy Mark for some cool riffs, then I threw everything else together. Pretty typical for my Thursdays."

[@Savantjazzcollective]

i think he meant that he hadn't given Thomas the track 2 weeks out from this recording... So Thomas only had 2 weeks to learn and rehearse this piece

[@RobertSearight]

His song was the last song!!! I got it to him a week before ..🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️... but he blazed it like the genius he is ✊🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@gustafsone]

@@RobertSearight It might've helped him a bit to have perhaps one of the best supporting bands ever assembled. I can't wait to see you guys in January when you're back in LA. I've been having a blast watching every Ghost-Note video I can find. You guys are amazing. Also, I might have a bit of a man crush on Nate Werth so I'm really hoping I can meet him sometime (and you as well).

0:12 Thats the best stink face reaction i've ever seen lmao

[@fcoolvera2176]

And still waiting for the transcription... to be honest I have to put it to the minimum of speed available on UA-cam in the 7/8 part to get the ghost notes. But there is many things that I guess no one can transcribe.

[@jjgson69]

Awesome drummer, love his stuff with PGP (Dug Pinnick, Eric Gales, and Thomas Pridgen)

[@jamessims869]

Yeah you should check out Larnell my guy

[@whiteprivilege2665]
