    Very smart, articulate and humble. And he conveys that with his bass playing.

    I love the fact that he is such a no frills no nonsense bass players bass player. And I saw him with The Section opening for James Taylor as well as backing him up. This was in the early 70s and indeed he did have alot more bass chops than most bassist of that time. He still has a wonderful tone and has always been a tasteful player

    Great interview. His points on how to record were great to hear. I'm a bass player and I've recorded about 8 albums in the last 2 years and we haven't used a click track on a single song. It's great that that's not something some producers' feel they need to use.
    Granted, I've worked with studio technician who are 50 years + who are kinda against the modern things :D

    Speaking of Beards ... I'm surprised that in all of the interviews I've read or seen about Lee, I have never heard of anyone bringing up the subject of his "Trademark" Rip Van Winkle facial hair. I mean, he has not seen his own face since the early '70's. You can spot Lee Sklar on bass from the 400th row. Calling all future interviewers .... Ask about the beard !

    Belman5 , There are dozens of bass players that play what the song wants. Me Sklarr's magic is that he plays what the producer expects better than the producer could imagine.

    Artists I have advised early in their careers because I recognized that they had "IT"..... Z Z Top, Lucinda Williams, The Gourds. Point being my credentials to say, "Young'uns. Old ways is best ways right. So listen. Just shut up & listen. "IT" is authenticity of being within the piece of music. You can't fake it, synthesize it or manufacture it (except for The Monkees). This comes from the "Studio" a place to "study" ie. study the music... ie. study the Musicians. It's called Musicianship. It's usually better if there actual real people involved with actual real people. So listen... listen... listen to Leland. Now go forth and JAM."

    What the fuck ?!! If you’re that skilled.. makes me happy instead of pissing me off with your nonsense long complicated phrases !! It’s like talking .. put the right word in the right place you got satisfied audience !
    Music is about emotions ! If your advanced techniques don’t end into that .. you learned nothing !
