hey to anybody who had or is listening to this, can i get an opinion? Was I doing to much? and also does my guitarist suck (or just not really flow well with me and the drums)?...be honest

You have good slap skills for 16 I wish I had them at your age. I also wish I had someone to tell me to focus more on the groove, and on how tha band sounds together. You all should do that IMHO. Listen to each other, and play together.

Much obliged Flo, i mainly try and just stick with the drummer and tell my guitarist to follow me but it doesn't always work out that way. Thanks for a response.

I fully agree with da Flo here...8:

about da jam clip: I dunno of course if ya spoke with eachother before da jam about wut when and how but tbh to me it soundz like da only rule was to stay in da same chord(z) and just blast off... and then listen to da recordingz to hear (and review/critize) da resultz...
imho a jam should be more like an adventure in which every band member getz da chance to show his (solo) skillzzz...in most cases that meanz that da geetardist getz da most time to solo and da bass player and da drummer are mainly busy to (keep it simple and to) make da jam groovy and funky...iow they leave (lotsa) space for da soloist to hit da spotlitez...when da geetardist runz out of inspiration and if da other band memberz have da solo skillz, which in yo case iz da truth cause just like da Flo I think ya (already) have great slappin abilitiez, it'z usually time for da geetardist to shut hiz mouth and leave da spotlite to da otherz for a while...a little nod or another sign (eye contact) is often used to switch da rolez...heheh...imho thiz is da way most bandz play/work to make a jam session (or actually every song) interesting (understandable !) for da audience...

I also took sum time to check da other vidz on yo band'z facebook and it struck me really how much progress you guyz made since da last time I saw one of yo vidz...(iirc it was da "Hey Joe")...that'z why I don't understand why I sense sum doubt about yo geetardist in yo first post cause imho he (also) haz lotsa talent ... anywayz, imho you guyz have a great band together...!

btw...dunno if ya've already seen it, but I highly recommend ya (and all other bass playerz) to watch Victor Wooten'z Groove Workshop DVD... imho it'z da best tutorial bout da role of da bass player (during jam sessionz) ...8:
