Dingbats! What a hilarious name for a restaurant! Too funny. :). 😊☺️

She is an amazing 🤙

Give love to that drummer too ❤

I love in the pocket grooves over the fancy stuff sometimes. Puts u in a cool trance and enjoy the vibe ❤

Paul can play a right handed double bass left handed. He’s my hero❤

Cool guy

Charlie Larkey ended up flying competition aerobatics and teaching me to fly aerobatics out of Santa Paula, CA. . For a time he lived in FL at a fly-in/runway. Great pilot. I lost track of him too. FYI

Good stuff Jon! Thanks!

I obsessively started playing at 47 knew nothing I just wanted learn and get better at something and not be a fat lazy old man 6 months later I was in a band now at 62 I rehearse practice or gig everyday played and made freinds with super talented even famous musicians in different bands different genres I learn songs on the spot and get paid to go to parties and make people happy tap their toes and dance I feel so blessed I did'nt take any lessons but listen to John"s never to late encourgement thank you FBPO

Hi Jon, great interview, I enjoyed it. I discovered Marco just a few months ago after I watched him play in some collaboration videos with Alfonso André (drummer for Caifanes). I was blown away by his playing. I didn’t know he was the son of Marco Mendoza!

I feel like the main people you look up to while you grow up playing are your heaviest influences, subconsciously or not. I was lucky enough to grow up around some of the best players because of a very well known world famous bass player from my town, and still to this day I always think would this impress “so and so”? In any aspect of my playing. I feel like I’ll never think I’ll be able to match or surpass their abilities and styles, even if I do because I grew up seeing these monster players gigging

I think Paul’s most interesting walking bass line is in “I’m a Loser”. Check out the bass on that one!

Good stuff Jon. Funny thing about All My Lovin -- it's both crude and sophisticated. And all in first position, which makes sense since he had to sing it at the same time. And I'd add that Mac's walk in the chorus of "I'm a Loser" is basically the hook of the song. Absolutely brilliant.

Hes an incredible bass player

Definitely way more classy than the other 3 guys from his former band

When I first saw a video of CCR, the thing I remembered the most was Stu's glasses & his smile! Thanks for the development & sharing of your great talents, Stu! 🤘😎🎸

Would have enjoyed hearing your examples with the songs for better context. 👍🏼

Hello Jon, love this video. I have been putting my signature on songs I have covered for years. It is something that I love to do and helps me stay motivated and creative in my bass playing. As you suggest if helps to move the song along and if it needs it. I put my on spin on many a classic cover. They way you know it works is if someone notices it a it puts a smile on their face :). Playing bass for over 50 years and still learning stuff everyday.

Thanks for giving Charles Larkey his due!

It really burns me up when I think about Jaco Being homeless at the end of his career and Getting beaten to death by a night club Bouncer. That's the music business for you. When you make them money, they back You up. When you have problems or need Help, you are yesterday's news.

Jaco had Manic depression. That is way above bipolar. In Mania, the brain runs like a turbo charger. For Jaco the musician, that meant incredible Music creations and excess energy... After that, there's a system crash. He couldn't Just sleep it off or take medication either.

Tiran was NOT the original bass player! Dave Shogren was the first with Tom and John Hartman

That Lakland short scale looks killer, there's almost nothing about it online, been looking for more info about it for a while.

Playing with Putter is so easy, he gives you a thick carpet to ride on and propels the music forward. His time is impeccable and his sound is inspiring.

Thanks!

Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's Back Together Again has a wicked bass by Basil.

The key to Rocco’s sound was his Left Hand Muting. He explains and shows it in his instructional video…available free on RUclips! Really a great reveal….because the Sound is obvious when you hear it… but not obvious to watch…. He was a great and fun guy. Glad I got to meet him:)

👍

OH you're so cuuuuuuuute!! Now go kick some ass!---Longtime fan.

Greatest respect to someone like Ardy who learned to play guitar AND bass left handed just to add to the authenticity of the show. I think Lenie Colacino from the original Beatlemania cast was the only other lefty Paul from what I can tell. Just amazing stuff. And what a great voice. He's the whole package.

Wow - that was one of the best 1:09:28 of my life! This video deserves thousands of views. An extraordinary gentleman that goes above and beyond for his students and academia. You couldn’t ask for more. Well done!

What a guy , what a musical beast. Jonas and lane are unbelievable talents

Another great interview Jon! I am one of those over 50 sorehanders! I am a student of Phil’s, and I am compelled to comment that what we saw on this interview is 100% accurate and true. Anyone who studied with Phil will see how lucky they are to have such a rareity….a working musician with such a high level teaching pedigree and communication skills. It just seems right that Phil gets this exposure for all his hard work. Jon, excellent interview highlighting a humble master!

What a great, information packed interview! I am one of those old guys with arthritis you are talking about Jon. I didn't realize that you wrote so many books!

Another great interview!!

Long time fan of Phil Mann. And when he posted about an interview with Jon Liebman I was like "why do I know that name"... then I checked my bookshelf. :) Excellent interview Jon. And I'm now a subscriber. And thank you "Dr. Phil". Just reinforces why you are one of my favorite educators.

Thanks for instigating such a wonderful conversation, Jon, it was lovely to drop by ‘For Bass Players Only’. My very best, to you and your audience. Philip

A teacher who goes the extra mile for his students and at the same time maintains his musical playing career. A lot to be said. Thanks Jon and Phillip .

I'm a professional fretted and fretless bassist In Nashville Tn. touring/sessions orchestra PIT work etc... I also teach privately in my home studio and at a local private school K - 12th grade. I really love Philip Manns approach to teaching. His style and method of teaching truly resonates with me. I'm also putting out my first bass Instructional book that should be ready by the spring of next year. Great Interview John. I also have one of your bass books, ''Bass Aerobics''. Great book.

Hey Stu, after you helped destroy CCR, how did your solo career go ? However it was a nice move by John Fogerty for not condescending to play with you at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. You can TAKE THAT AS A FRIEND !!!!

Cool
