Bass legend Jeff Berlin holds nothing back in this explosive deep-dive interview! For the first time in 30 years, Jeff fully addresses his criticism of modern bass education, calling out teaching methods from educators like Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey, and sharing his controversial views on metronomes, technique, and learning music the right way.
With a resume that includes working alongside Allan Holdsworth, Bill Bruford, Frank Zappa, Yes, Scott Henderson, and Pat Metheny, Jeff Berlin is one of the most respected and outspoken bassists of all time. In this intense, no-holds-barred conversation, I challenge Jeff with hypothetical situations, pushing him to reconsider some of his long-held beliefs.
This interview was like stepping into a high-stakes jazz combo gig—deep water, no safety net. Was I able to hold my own? Or did I get swept away in the current of Jeff’s legendary mind?
