tal wilkenfeld...

this is a 22 year old bass guitar player from austrailia named tal wilkenfeld. in this clip she plays with jeff beck and takes a solo about halfway through. she is a very natural gifted player and shows she can also funk it up pretty good in this clip. (watch the whole way through to see the reaction of the dudes in the crowd at the end.) i'll just put it out there, and i know this is not politically correct, it is so cool to see a female playing the bass guitar will such skill. the talking heads and a female bass player but she certainly wasn't close to as good as this woman is. i haven't ever see anything like it. thanks to the one, the only, mike alvin for the tip.
