We’ve played together many times, and this 2-minute jam is packed with groove, rhythm,

Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden is a phenomenal song for me. That’s why I’ve been playing it as a solo bass piece for a long time. I think the timbres that are created and the harmonies themselves are simply divine. We also play the number with the band JazzAgainstTheMachine. Felipe from Dingwall Guitars in Canada knew my solo bass version
