Below is a video of Dan Faehnle playing a duet with Howard Paul. Dan is the younger guy playing rhythm guitar for the first half with some slick walking bass lines thrown in.
Why am I showing a jazz guitarist like Dan (www.danfaehnle.com) on a site that focuses on the electric bass?
First, Dan is an amazing musician. I bet he could play a lamp shade with a wooden spoon and create some amazing music.
Second, before he toured with Diana Krall, and before he was a featured artist at jazz festivals around the world, he taught me how to play the bass guitar.
Dan and I went to the same high school and he was the man that first made the electric bass cool to me. Five years my elder, I watched him do some amazing things on the bass when he was in the high school jazz band that I’m still trying to emulate to this day. Plus, he was also the first guy who taught me how to play the bass.
