Oh man..... Jason Mraz ROCKS!!!!!!!.... Friday went to Esplande with my bro, cousin voice and da jie to watch Jason Mraz. He 's awesome, really awesome. He got good showmanship, awesome stage presence and a funny comedian. Just him and a percussionist named Toca Rivera, they can create such good music. My favourite was when he did the Elton John cover, Rocket Man.
Both of them can harmonise so well. See, simple is the best. No need such a big band, no need to do complicated songs whereby must need a solo. Most important of performing is that, the tightness of the band and that people enjoy what you are playing, the technical side is the added bonus, no doubt techniques are important, the proper techniques to play the instrument and the proper way of holding the instrument. You can do solos for ten hours by urself but as a band u cannot gel, then whats the solos use for.
My teacher always tell me that before you can do lovely solos or quick fingering, you must first do the basic, finger exercise, counting with a metronome and get your timing right. I think he's right, of course he is right, he's a professinal bassist. Jason Mraz don't do solos, he just sing, play his guitar and and gel tightly with his percussionist and with all that, the crowd gave him a standing ovation with his performence, not once but twice.
So featured song for this post - Wordplay by Jason Mraz. peaceout
