A stormin' duet

Whenever I watch these clips I'm seriously impressed with the muscle memory required in remembering the thousands of finger movements.

I have impressed many ladies with the muscle memory of my bass player's fingers over the years.... ;-)

I have become deeply sceptical recently. Whenever I see these clips I think, is that real? Googling the name, I suspect not.

Miguel is, though.

I must admit that I share your view.

Time and time again I'm sent videos of some 3 year old "bass prodigy". It's all bollocks. They're playing the one thing they've been practicing for months and it's not anything which could be used at a gig - just fretboard wankery. Anyone can learn how to make an noise and wow naive viewers with rapid hand movements.

Ah well, I was impressed and enjoyed watching musicians' skills. I'll stick to whinging about politicians.
