Looking for a song by a Neely fan

A few years ago, Adam reacted to some tracks by his fans. One of these songs was called "Happy", I think, and had a really neat mixolydian thing going on. I can't find it for the life of me, but would like to hear it again. Can anyone remember what it was?

Does a full video of his Oceans cover exist?

Recently rewatched the CCM video, and while I'm not a fan of the genre either, the cover he showed in bits and pieces really captivated me. Is there a full video somewhere out there?

Can someone explain this description of James Jamerson

From the Wikipedia page on him, while detailing his equipment and style of play towards the bottom of the page, it says:

"Another aspect of Jamerson's upright playing that carried over was his use of open strings, a technique long used by jazz bass players, to pivot around the fretboard which served to give his lines a fluid feeling"

As a bass player, I don't understand what is meant when they describe using the open strings to pivot around the fret board. If anything, I tend to avoid open strings because I feel interuppted when I play them

Check this out!

Been playing music most of my life, had a surplus of recordings I never did anything with. Posted some on YouTube and embarked on a mission to share. I feel like this community would appreciate what I’ve been doing. All solo bass, live looping, mainly off the cuff. Hope you enjoy.

How long is a Sungazerconcert?

Hello there! I live in Sweden and have been thinking about going to see Sungazer live when they are in Stockholm. I just have two questions to those of you who have been to a Sungazerconcert before, which is: How long is usually a Sungazerconcert and how many songs do they usually play approximately?

Cbat?

More than a year ago, Adam predicted that Cbat was going to be a consistent musical meme, kind of like "the lick". Have you all been hearing Cbat in the past year?

Any advice for eartrainning/theory for non-musicians?

I spent a year learning music awhile ago, never got started on either theory or ear training

I recently re-discovered this sideways video and also rewatching adam neely talk about songs, and it made me remember that I had a bigger apprection of music when I was doing some, so im thinking that learning theory and ear training would get some of what sideways talks about

Is this the right approach? If so any advice?

Currently using an app called earpeggio which has some basic exercises (3 note transcription, rhythmn transcription, identify interval)

My goal at the moment is to get to the point of transcribing pop music or something, that could be interesting

Thanks

Mahavishnu Clip From "Does Music Have a Speed Limit? And Why?"

13:20 - 13:43 shows a TV performance I can't find. There is a live TV performance of theirs in the source list in the description but it is not this one. Also, what song are they playing?

Repetition Legitimizes Compilation - Help Please!

yo bros. I plan to start a music theory channel (if God permits) and just for the lols I planned to make a compilation video of every time Adam says repetition legitimizes. I already have a playlist of several videos he says it in, but I'm sure there's many other videos I'm forgetting. if y'all can think of or come across any videos he says it in I'd surely appreciate if you could drop it in the comments.

In which Q&A video did Adam talk about learning melody/practicing using Bach?

See title. I remember really being interested by this section of a video, but I've been unable to find which video this was. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I found it, in this Q&A: https://youtu.be/ua-N1JuqO5M?t=248
