I love your reviews & breakdowns on the forum...and I can't tell you how much I learn from each and every one!
You know, as a musician, engineer, producer, and studio owner for over 25 years... I have recorded everything from bagpipes to thrash metal....I have to agree with everything you said about "trying to get crazy combinations" into a tune. Maybe being a bass player has something to do with it, but I can't tell you how many times I had to explain how important 'space' or 'air' is. Where you DON'T play is as important as where you do. It totally translates to all forms of art; a painters stroke, a dancers step, an actors pause.
The other point you make is spot-on too... take 5 baggers and have them hit to the same tune and it will be like 5 different tunes, each with their own feel. I love that... and the really great thing will be the 4 others cheering them on!
