Remco’s right hand technique blows my mind, the amount of controlled strength you need to get the tone he achieves using the technique he does is astounding. Wouldn’t be surprised if the man could twist screws into wood with his thumb and forefinger.

so many surprise melodies integrate so fluidly within the rhythm. awe!

I'm determined to learn this Fretless 3 finger claw technique. It's going to take me awhile to get even somewhat close to recreate this style but it cures the boredom of everyday bass playing to attempt such a challenging technique. So cool and different. CHEERS!

What am I doing with my life? How is this dude even possible? There's really nothing I can say beyond wow!

a lot of intense hard work went into acquiring the skill to play that good. you have my respect funky one.👍😎
