Lee is a wonderful musician, but you have touched and influenced as many. I count you as a major influence since Becker Brothers, Spyro (also met you backstage in 24th St. Band), Letterman, even Barry Manilow! Keep on Gruvin'!
@@MrSitemaster2 I'm not (I can't even play an instrument, just love those who made it their beautiful craft) and I couldn't even think of thumbing down Leland😁. I think there are "balancing robots" out there to even out the algorithms (or screw them up, depending on how you see it)
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 I was really referring to the guitar snobs that look down on bass players. Some see the bass as what you play when you're not good enough to play lead guitar.
I saw The Section when they backed up James Taylor in the 70s at Nassau Colosseum. The section opened the show and Leland came out alone at the start of the set and played a bass solo. This was around the time that Jaco and Stanley were starting to become famous and Leland held his own. he even wrote a composition for the section and it was played briefly on WNEW radio. He was always a tasteful player that played the song but also stood out. This is a guy that will always get work as a bassist.
I learned the foam rubber string mute trick years ago from Carol Kaye. You'll also remember the "ashtray" on the earliest P & J Basses had foam on the under side toward the bridge.
Love Leland so much - there's nobody better!!!
Love you, too, Will! 😊

The feeling is so mutual my friend!
Yes, Leland’s awesome. And so are you, Will!
👍😁
Lee Sklar is a national treasure!
Yes he is! Thanks, Norm.
Leland now has his own YT channel, which he started at the beginning of the USA pandemic lockdown. Another channel worth subscribing too.
possibly best channel on YT
👍

I just don't understand why people even give a thumbs down on this interview.
I never got that either.
Maybe they're not bass players?
@@MrSitemaster2 Nah, they're musical morons / phillistines.

Can you imagine the conversations that occur in his patios? What a collection of friends he must have over!

O maluco barbudo pra min e o melhor contrabaxista do mundo 😀

A great player and a gentleman. My favorite bass player. Session musicians are some of the greatest players.

It's Markneukirchen, Germany...
Yep! That was the place!
GHS Bass Boomers! The best! I use since 77

Well I’m sure the great Leland is financially comfortable, after his big tours with Phil! And deservedly so!
Google pegged him a 1.5 million net
All that goodness, talent and charm!
Could be. Didn’t ask him. 😀
Leland looks so different without s beard.
He is a handsome bloke.
Glad you enjoyed the interview, Ann. Thanks for weighing in!

'Sound of Silence'? (Disturbed video) Who rules the music industry?
😁
Nice claw! Leland!
Yep! 😀
Leland makes for a very entertaining and interesting guest. We had the privilege of talking to him also: ruclips.net/video/zauqHSTEIuA/видео.html
Cool. Thanks, Matt!
If Elvis was a Bassist his name would be Leland Sklar.
Thanks, Bassman! (You got d bluz? LOL)
with girls is the same, that stench thing
Huh?
@@ForBassPlayersOnly I'd guess it was a bad joke about something Sklar said... but after 4 facking years, it's hard to remember :D

Speak after me: Marktneukirchen...
