Hello !
Is there any chance of putting together a pair of videos, showing bass lines from Face First(intro) and Speak(the line ending a song-Cmaj if I got it right) ? You've done a video for Otay, and it is a precious lesson !!! Gary ON !

Thanks so much for the replacement knob. Your customer service is peerless! I believe few professionals would take the time, to personally respond, as you did. Aside from being one of the best players and contributors to your genre, your also an outstanding person! I hope I can shake your hand and thank you properly someday.

Hi Gary! Sorry for my bad English ... I am studying the harmonic progressions of Emancipation (Bent) ... You're not only a great bassist, you're also an amazing composer!
Ps: HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!

I see you are in Spain. I often gig in Spain with the Michael Nyman Band - if you'd like to come to a gig please let me know...it would be a pleasure to meet you.

Hi Gary,
I love the way you share your stuff, in the confidence that no-one will ever be able to sound like you. That is the generosity of a true master.
I'm a pro player (have made a good living and played/recorded all over the world in top venues) but can't begin to play with your ease and invention.
Thanks for the inspirational playing!

Hey Gary...love the clips and always been a fan of your playing...is it possible for you to upload some left-hand playing concepts...or concepts to note choice, improvisation etc...as considering your one of the best players in the world, it would be a real treat to get some insight into how you approach grooves, chord progression, soloing etc...( without giving away too much ...) again, i could just try to transcribe your playing...which i have done some work on, but the words of wisdom would be much appreciated. Your books have been a huge help in this area too, in regards to listening exercises and fretboard navigation. Furthermore, it is refreshing to have a good youtube site such as this, that doesn't contain silly redundant slap bass chops too..which seems to dominant alot on youtube....rock on and thank you.
