I guess I'm an OG. The O/D vids are perfect. Real world session situations, focus on what the song needs, real world theory and number system, and not too gear focused except how the sound serves the song. Your channel will be huge.

Speaking as a bass player who did a lot of session work, if you want to work simplicity is the key. Honestly no producer or session leader will be impressed with your 16th note pentatonic runs and it’s more likely to get you fired and off the contractor’s list forever. KZitem is full of these guys who wonder why their phones aren’t ringing for top session work. Do that stuff with your own band or in your bedroom if you want. But the most iconic bass lines are brilliant in their simplicity and that to me is where the true art of the instrument lies - not in trying to imitate a guitar player. I always use Abe Laboriel as the quintessential example of a player with immense chops who puts that all away when he’s doing commercial recording for others. Yet he does it in a way that is memorable. Nate East is in that class as well. That’s why they are household names amongst bassists and that’s true bass genius!

I'm a full time guitar player in the DFW Texas area and learning the parts that guys like you play in the sessions are tremendous lessons on building songs. One of the toughest things to do live is figuring out which parts have to be played and are key to the song when multiple parts are played. Sometimes I take those other guitar elements and use them underneath instruments that are covering fills or in gaps that I find. Some of the hardest things to do is cover instruments like the fiddle and you don't have one in the band. I tend to try and rhythmically replicate something similar but "guitarize" it! Thanks for taking us behind the scenes Justin! You're a valuable asset to the guitar community!

One thing I have noticed that I love about your work (and you probably mentioned this a million times) is how your parts do not always start on beat 1 or earlier with a pickup. Your part in the Intro is terrific and really does make that Piano work much better than it would have without it. If you have ever watched Pat Pattison from Berklee discuss lyric writing in the context of Stable vs Unstable, this would fall into the Unstable category. It is an incredibly effective technique. Pls keep em coming. Brian

Wondering if you could talk about this in one of your videos. Still on the curve with home recording. I've learned a lot from you. The TG2 is out of my price range so I'm also wondering about your thoughts re: lower cost basic preamps and/or other considerations. Thank you so much!

Hey Justin. Great playing (and writing!) as always. Quick question: you're always putting delay and reverb bevor the amp, right? But your amp has a fair amount of dirt there. When ever i do that no matter how subtle i try to put my settings it always sounds really muddy. But with you it almost sounds like it's post it's so clear. Any tips on how you dial your delays and reverbs before a semi dirty amp would be much appreciated.
