Why Beginner / Intermediate Bassists Sound "Karaoke-y"

Poor n00b Josh. You just wanna give this guy a hug, don’t you?
Great vid - as always, it gave me several things to consider improving. I especially liked stressing the “awareness” on the drums. One of the things about playing guitar and switching over to bass that still gets me is the idea of how important that consistent rhythm is (especially on songs where you’re meant to leave a lot of space). I think you can be “close enough” on guitar, but it’s worlds looser than the expectation of the bassist/drummer relationship.
