amen to this! I really dislike how the message tends to be "use your gifts to God" but somehow except if you're a musician, then tone it down please so you don't mess up the PEOPLE'S ability to follow along. Problematic because: a) if someone is grown in a method of experiencing music, ie exposed to high skill levels for their lives, they can follow along b) why are we toning down a God-given gift because PEOPLE dont' understand it? Pearls before swine I say...

Scott shows respect and admiration for all styles, good on him. It can inspire young musicians the world over that haven’t been exposed to gems like this. I played guitar at Mt Zion Baptist Church in Austin, Tx for 7 years and this energy happened weekly. Some days more intense than others, but always uplifting and energetic. Many people will never experience being in the center of this. Our music pit was directly in front of the choir and it would make the hair stand on the back of your neck! I even enjoyed weekly rehearsals with the choir. There is nothing like it. I wish everyone could experience this. There are so many phenomenal musicians you’ll never hear of that only play in churches like this. Much respect to them all!!✊🙏

Scott, your tribute and accordance is heavenly here, as a spirit. But, beautiful friend, your playing is behind what S did. It's not insult, because the SCOTT stuff that you ARE is genius as who YOU are. So it's okay, because we need to leave him alone and not try to copy it. Just leave his stuff alone with your bass. We are not him. It's like WHY DO WE TRY TO BE ANOTHER ONE'S FINGERPRINT? We cannot. You can't. But bless your amazing heaven here as a learning and sharing community. Let it be better felt than told, and certainly better felt than slow attempts to copy it and teach it, wonderful Scott. His place in our heart is JUST LIKE YOUR place in our hearts: the moment he did HIM, at that very moment.

Wait, wait, wait.......I hear what you're saying, but let him cook, let him cook. I'm with you that it's tough for Scott to match that (and that's saying a lot, because Scott is a killer on his instrument frfr). But Scott can actually understand what's going on with Reed's playing. We need Scott doing this. Lol. I didn't even know there were harmonics in this until Scott broke this down. At one point, I was like "This is wild! I could NEVER!" But now I'm like, "This is wild!!!! I might be able to do this one day!"

My favorite Marcus bass playing his his subdued "beast mode" when he came up with an incredible groove for MIles, or Luther or Sanborn. Or Tony Levin on the live version of "Red Rain" with his 5 string......... Wow! Less is more.

Yeah that's what most people ain't talking about. You look within your soul it's there too. Because Sharay does stuff here that only Sharay could do. He turns certain lines inside out/backwards and is able to come back to the 1 or rejoin at anytime while playing off beat. Technically he's doing what a drummer does but with a Bass. And like you said learning it is one thing but coming up with it is another because if you learn this song, when will you actually get to use it? PROBABLY NEVER. Because that's a whole different rendition of joy to the world. I'm with you man, 100.

The second lick really doesn't sound right played on a four string, it needs to resolve on that big low B to really blow the roof off the church. Finishing on the lowest B you can find on a four string in standard tuning just sounds wrong. Why not do the lesson on a 5 string so it can be played properly? Seems like an odd choice.
