I like Sebastian

Post by Guy Cundell »

A shout-out to Sebastian Muller for his wonderful version of Sol's 'I Like You". It is impeccably played, as you would expect, but he really captures Sol's vibe and humor. There is a smile in every line!

I, too, am a Sebastian Fanboy.

I've used several of his tabs and love them. I always get the mp3s with the trans. Looping and slowing down sections really helps the learning process. And later, the backing tracks are so much fun to play along with, slowly increasing speed until I can play with friends.

Can't recommend him enough. (And he really made me fall in love with the high bass A tuning.)

He is really good. I recently have taken a turn towards the tricone sounds and Sebastian's playing is a real inspiration. It's great to see what he's playing as there aren't that many videos of the old time players and he has that style down! I got my Republic tricone yesterday and my A high bass strings will get here tomorrow. Now to download some of Sebastian's videos and tab,and I'm sure I'll sound just like him in a couple of days! :)

When I grow up, I want to play like Sebastian.

Guess I better hurry up because at this point I'm older than I've ever been.

Less obvious perhaps is his skill as an engineer and video/audio recording master. His playing is first rate but he also knows how to capture and present it with perfection.

I have to agree with you here.
