Another vote for Constantine Isslamow

I’m in this guy’s camp. Not only is he a great player……he doesn’t fill the time with endless opinions and comments. Just gets on with it.

 

Don’t get me started on Scott Devine!

That'll be the chappy that taught me how to play Africa by Toto (and that Washburns were okay) - Cover Solutions. 

 

 

Strangely I added this yesterday to my playlist to learn, it was one of my dads favourite songs

...but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Danny Sapko. He's a great player and combines self-deprecation with humour. He's got his own shtick, but he balances it nicely with some gorgeous bass work. 

Great player. But I find his "comedy Brummie" schtick tiresome and unfunny. Same reason I have no time for Davie, despite him being a good player.

I always thought that he was going for the "comedy Yorkshire" thing!

 

I see him in the local pub from time to time. Nice guy, but very short!

I think it's important to recognise the distinction between different content creators. Some play so you can watch; others play so you can watch and learn. Some show and review gear and others primarily talk about gear.

Then there are the teachers - music teachers, bass teachers, and those that do both. 

The rarest breed are the teachers who are great players/players who are great teachers; I'm not talking, in the immortal words of Flea, 'all flash and no smash', but the rounded players who also have a gift for teaching.

The two that I really admire are Richie Blake and Dan Hawkins.

"Hey again, it's Mark here from TalkingBass" is my all time favourite online teacher. No nonsense, only useful stuff, and I am a fan of the deadpan presentation. Teaches technique, approach, and specific basslines as well, dissecting everything into consumable little steps.

Always thought he sounded more Midlands than Yorkshire. :) Although the "BEHS" thing does suggest Yorkshire! 

 

EDIT: Bradford, apparently. I stand corrected. :D
