Aug 12th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
After that interview;
Maestro Tuneh is an Amazing Artist from other Dimension.
i liked his way of speaking about music but most of all, to teach us the right thing: to love what we do and not to Step the others on our way.we will not even need it!
What a great person!!!!
hoo Jason, go on …!!

Great Artist.
Aug 12th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
What a Big heart.
Aug 13th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
This Guy is Crazy or somthing or maybe Genius.
he thinks that the bass is like a Violin or somthing.
well if he can play like fast things & to “sing” on that instroment(solo)…. why not!
for people like me, i’m happy to play in orchestra or something like this.
he is trying to make the bass “big”,
the bass sould be where it is all the time!!
Aug 14th, 2007 at 12:28 am
Very good,very smart, every word is true.
Thank you Mr. Tuneh.
Aug 14th, 2007 at 5:20 am
Mr. Tuneh speak like a Violin player, not like a bassist.
its a pleasure to hear this Great performer.
Dec 28th, 2007 at 1:35 pm
Still thinking about every word that Maestro Tuneh said,
finaly musicion who dont have his EGO in the sky (never forget where he is comming from).
Great true and helpfull interview for everyone.
In the end i got the feeling that Mr.Tuneh gave us so much from himself and that the interview is about us, about everyone and not only about him.
about how to help us the “little” people
the simple bass players.. (you need to be Big nobel person to help Just like this and to speak from his heart, without to ask for something for it, my Bass Prof. in Germany
did only busines all the time-and teachted to less)
Mr. Tuneh you are great, thanks alot for changing my way of thinking about the bass and music. (My Prof. could not do it in 5 years!!)
It would be nice to hear from you again in one of the interview with Jason or someone else.
Mar 19th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Mega!
Jun 24th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
And now what..?
why all the rest are getting “secend chance” - for one more interview and Guy Tuneh not?
his interview was for sure one of the best ever in that blog!
Aug 27th, 2008 at 10:13 am
INDEED,
Great Interview, please post more from this Bassist (he isnt bass player, he is a Violin player with a soul of an Opera singer!!!)
