Jeff Berlin has a tendency to cause quite a stir. He has very strong, sometimes controversial opinions about music instruction and the learning process. He has written for Bass Player magazine and founded the Players School of Music.
This video is a hilarious testament to his musicianship. There are plenty of bass players who can’t sing the National Anthem and play it simultaneously. Ever fewer can shift the lyrics one syllable:
Wow. He’s actually only displacing the lyrics, though, right? I remember I had a composition/couterpoint professor who suggested exercises like this . . .
Thanks for the post!
