How much $$ to get Leland on a tune?

Wow! Thanks! Both of my favorite bassist sharing the stage and even playing together. Now my day is complete.

SamKayCoh aka Kayko joins Band at 9:30 minutes ❤

Cool. Dig it.

The cat on the left looks put out….won’t let go of the mic….a bit of musical jealousy perhaps….?

Leland is the reason why I play bass.

I first learned about Lee by seeing him when I went to one of Phil’s concerts. Great bassist and he had this vibe that was so obvious. I’ve been at fan ever since.

outstanding musicians.

尔东！！！

Right about 1:13:50, Mr. Sklar makes the statement about the best/most creative/etc part of music is the collaboration. This is the best thing I have ever heard him say, and the one that hits me the most. I have been a rock musician since the early-mid 1980's. I have been in a bunch of bands in different genres and parts of the country/world. I have been on stages of all different sizes, I have been in the studio with my own bands, and with other artists (all local with two nationals). Of all the things I've done in the music industry, the studio is my favorite. I love being on stage. I love the audience interaction and meeting them after the show, and all of that. I come alive in the studio. Whether it's the pre-production or the actual studio. When you get into the studio and someone has a riff, or a chorus, or even a full song idea, and when you leave the studio is a completed song..... There is no better feeling

I really like your playing Luca - congratulations on playing your own music at Berklee, you must be so proud. I enjoyed this concert :)

Kim Oba!!!!!

What was the problem at the beginning of the video with the pianist? I couldn't hear the talking so well.

Duanne Allman's Finger Style Playin 🍄 ! Right On Bro Danny & Band (in the right way..more studio work rehearsals ..) The Sixties Spirit Lives On !

The challenge of it is a beautiful thing. Leland Sklar

Minute 7,46 +/-

Outstanding work, such a pleasure meeting you thru Abe's introduction..........

ah pretty cool

Yes, "remember Duane Allman, don't forget he existed"

Leland Sklar is fascinating to watch perform. He doesn't do it in our interview but he's still pretty awesome: ruclips.net/video/zauqHSTEIuA/видео.html

Was this the young lady who passed during a school shooting?

Sorry to many commercials.

That was a beaut! The duo that is. Q: what's better than a bass player? A: Two bass players! I think life is all about harmonic relationships, when we socialize, when we collaborate, when we dream or we have a visit from our split personality, it is all progression of harmony: into something beautiful or into chaos, which is just a few steps away from something beautiful. You can't live all the time in harmony, it must be stepped out of and the chaos be explored so that we can return to harmony, even in the darkest of rooms, without panic or second thoughts. Life may well be a metaphor for music? :)

Thanks I'm glad I got to watch this show.

Elton & Liberace now that’s a pair 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

This production is too amateur”

Rick Beato is right about Lee.

OMG...5 minutes of farting around ...am I watching a Will Farrell movie?..was expecting "is this thing on?...tap tap tap..+ feedback" .....soooooo unprofessional...does anyone know how to set up just 2 basses and 2 amps, or work lights...this is at Berklee ?!?!?...

I love this! I should say though, Steve seems either super tired or super frustrated. He also seems frustrated with students...

27:20 Yup. If you're a certain age, it is a trip to even think an actual person created this stuff. That song was so deeply ingrained in my childhood. Wow!!!

Are the left and right channels out-of-phase?

When I was at music college in England I thought “everyone is better than me!” And flunked out before it’s end. I had not realised that they were not just good... but the best! That group held within it a huge contribution to music and I should have relaxed and worked hard! ( Omar (singer/writer), Christine Tobin (jazz singer) Phil Robson (Gtr) and actually many more were there. Twenty years later all their music is recorded and thier stars shine so bright! Relax! Focus! Make learning an act of luv and joy! Be kind to yourself....practice musically.

I wish the music business as it existed when Lee Sklar's career was born still existed today. Sadly, it doesn't.

Lee is solid gold treasure

24:24 Amazing wisdom.

23:50 That was me in my younger days, imposing my loud drums and fills where they did not belong.

The essential question is" How do you get good." The answer is, do it...a lot!

Wonderful stuff, especially after watching a number of the video chats Mr. Sklar's has done during lockdown. There are some comments below criticising the presentation and sound of this Berklee clip. Personally, I feel these are unwarranted, unfair and unjustified. This event was for the benefit of the Berklee students so presentation values are what they are. And Mr. Bailey is acting more as director of the programme, not as an interviewer. He was providing context, filling in some blanks and guiding the conversation where required. That he is a great player in his own right and friends with Sklar resulted in a relaxed and insightful result. A couple things I'm surprised that weren't mentioned include Tommy Bolin having been the replacement for Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple (a gig Steve Morse has now held for decades), and the influence of Billy Cobham's 'Spectrum' on Jeff Beck (thanks to Carmine Appice introducing him to it), most notably his 'Wired' and 'There and Back' albums, where the guitarist and Jan Hammer recreate what the latter had done with Bolin on 'Spectrum'. Also, the double-time shuffling double bass drums.... Alex van Halen may have nicked that from 'Spectrum' for 'Hot for Teacher', though Appice did something very similar earlier on 'Parchment Farm' by Cactus, and Simon Phillips did something similar with Beck on 'Space Boogie', so who knows where Van Halen got it from.

Listening to that Vanessa Carlton mix really makes me wonder why they even used real musicians. Compressed to bits in ways that James Taylor, BB King, Phil Collins and the music from the 70's breathed. - Today's music doesn't suck as much as the shitty producers & mixers make artists sound. Really.

I played bass in a band after playing 6-string for 20 years at that point. I was blown away at how much a bass can steer the harmonic content of a song and make or break it! The bass can rescue a bombing gig. The bass can make your Halloween gig sound creepy when the rest of the band are playing Christmas songs! If you are new to bass, unless you are a Jimmy Page playing guitar, then you have found the most fun and fulfilling instrument in the band. Actually I was spotted by a local Columbus,OH acquaintance who I'd sold a Fender Mustang to, he saw me at a bar one night, I was playing an acoustic 6-string guitar with the D and high E removed, and tuned the four remaining strings F# C# C# F# (GDDG...the former sounds better). He said, " hey if you can play those four strings you can play a bass right? You want to pay bass in my band, our bass player is leaving next week? " I said sure, and played with Bubba Hotep for 3 years or so. I in quick order landed a very nice playing Japanese 1971 CROWN SG CLONE of a GIBSON EB-3 BASS for $150usd, and ent $70 for an actual vintage Gibson EB-3's bass pickup. My buddy a few years later brought over his Gibson EB-3 and we both were amazed at how well the Japanese got it right. I liked the Crown more o be honest. And lucky me scored a vintage (well in 97' we still said 'old') AMPEG V4B (it's a 100 WATT AMPEG SVT😊) for $150 in the 'Tradin' Times' (penny saver equiv, but better...all before craigslist), I but it holds the bottom pretty well. The F# C# C# F# tuning has little to do with bass, naturally. I'd written over 100 songs with this tuning and sang. An excellent songwriter's tuning! It's a big fat fifth strumming down and a big fat fifth strumming up, the two center C#'s are Unison- 5th string wound/3rd solid for a really nice chorus sound. In the end those four strings put out bigger and more complex sound than EADGBE 6 sting tuning. If you try it, experiment with everything, on't just play Delta blues. You can play a really individual/ personal sound, and write music right on the spot. You will be amazed at how playing simple fingering can give you rich, complex arrangements...the magic happens when you add the vocal melody. "That's four strings?!" ...." Yep, and 2 notes at that. 😊

Leland Sklar actually played some Wolfgang tracks on his channel if anyone is interested in hearing his college band.

Unwatchable needs serious editing.

that thing about ego burning bridges etc. Wow, how true is that? I see that shit everyday, plenty of proficient talented musicians in my town that I would love to pull together and form a Band with. Or at least jam with just for the craic and see how it goes, but then you hear their Ego Talk, no body wants to build bridges and put an end to their petty squabbles. Why can't people see how little time we all have on this planet, lets go out there and make the most of it. None of us want to end up the grumpy old git in a nursing home telling stories of what might have been, but my ego got in the way and now it's too late. Lets have some fun making music, who gives a shit who's cat is bigger or who dog barks louder. Just shut the fuck up and play for the fun of it,, ''everybody's sayin' that Music is Love'' ------------ believe it.....

I can’t find the three bass thing that is being referred to at 58:15. Anybody know where that is?

Who is the other bassist with Lee?

Leland was lucky to have been born into an era where there was a lot of opportunities in music, just like much of anything from the era the boomers grew up in, so much creativity during that era.
