Not sure - I’ve seen some he has posted over the years but I don’t have a link, sorry. Hopefully he will chime in.

Oof, it’s hard to narrow it down to just five.

In no particular order:
Ron Carter
Marcus Miller
Victor Wooten
Rich Brown
Pino Palladino
Tony Levin <— Yeah, I know that’s six, but I couldn’t leave him out! :smile:
