Years ago I was a bassist in a band where drummer was always soloing and guitarist refused to learn theory and played only riffs in whatever keys. And I played only in C-major. I'm sure we sounded horrible, but we still had fun and that was what mattered.

Not gonna lie the conflict between Nothing Else Matters and the Bass solo went so well, clashing made perfectly. Cheers as always Charles

You forgot one Charles: The Guy Who Name Drops Every Well Known Musician With Whom He Has “Jammed” But Can’t Prove It!

[CharlesBerthoud]

Did I miss any? I'm probably the first guy but sometimes I'm number 5 🤣

13. The drummer playing when you are trying to tune your instrument.

The keyboard effects at 2:24 are a nostalgia overload to being in school music lessons! Every 'composition' would involve putting on one of the drumbeat presets and spamming all the worst effects. Not heard those particular ones in many years.

1:45 "Also, your microwave beeps at a slightly flat G#:"
Comedy gold. Outstanding (and relate-able) video.

Wait, the reharmonization on 2:57 was actually pretty freaking awesome. That one chord just hit right

I am a mediocre bass player who only plays on Sunday at church and I’ve seen half of these. Great stuff.

[byronstcg]

As someone with perfect pitch... i can say that I am definitely like number 7 😅. Also the piece is in B major 🎉 1:29

[LordEradicus]

Okay, Number 5--the Eye-Contact Guy--hit me kind of hard as I realized I've often done that when playing with others. Guilty as charged. 😄

I can so relate to 2. I played in this international church and we’d play these straight 4/4 rocky songs, but the African drummers would insist on giving it an offbeat, even reggae, feel. Was really annoying at the time because the riffs I prepared would no longer match the new groove of the song, but now I look back and just think it’s really funny 😂 loved those guys, real talents

[aaizner]

This one actually made me lol a bunch of times. Thanks, Charles!

1:24 what a relaxing music, I LOVE IT

[JuniperusAshei]

0:42. The noodle soup folks “quit noodling and listen, ya rude puck!”

[corlancostello]

1:34 Ironically, he was actually playing that in B major, not Bb major.

[timalan]

Charles attempting to inject humor into his remarkable skill is a good thing, for I'm all of those bass players he mentions. Lol

[shadowselfCA]

Last band I was in had two guitarists. Therefore, there were always two guitars going - during songs and between songs. My keyboard solos were never without an accompanying guitar solo. No dynamics in that band, the guitarists had no idea how to back off and let anyone else shine for even a few seconds.

Man! The drummer who likes to change the feel/beat of the song every minute and the guy who never learns the song!
If only I got a dollar for each time I played a gig with those two!

[scottb]

The one who cancels practice at the last minute or just doesn't show up
