A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Pretty difficult then? I’ve heard some jazz bass guitarists that were insane
Dead on. Jaco, flea, les claypool do a lot of things that are more complicated than you expect. There are bass methods like "slapping" and "tapping" that arent simple at all.
Counterpoint: time. Even playing simple lines, there's a big difference between a groove that is completely locked in, and one that is not. And that difference is all about the precise timing of the hits between the players in the rhythm section. The bass sets the foundation of all of that.
Life is hard for a musician. For a bassist it's nearly impossible.
Simple bass line, anyone can play this.
