Hey Corey, I have a “Treble” observation for you. Have you noticed that 3 of the most talented jazz guitarist (and my favorites) all have or had CRAZY BIG hair. Take a look at Pat Metheny, Lee Ritenour and Larry Coryell. At times during their careers they all looked like maniacs. Maybe it’s some kind of Samson Syndrome where their prowess lies in their hair. I’m too old for big hair; heck I do good just to have any hair at all. But is there a syndrome that endows bass players with super talent?
