Back in high school when I was an aspiring young buck bassist, I used to take lessons from Roy Vogt, pictured above. We'd be going over something simple like a scale. He'd show me, I'd try to repeat it. Then he'd do it again, but add on a few notes at the end, then a few more, then all of a sudden he would be LOST in a fusion batch fantasyland, slappin and thumpin out note after note. He would pucker his lips together and get steady focused in what I can only refer to as BASS FACE.

This is bringing back some memories... I wonder if EVERY guitar teacher is guilty of this (they always get so bored of hearing you try to nail the basics they've gotta stroke one out to stay awake)
is this solo face not the origin of the term face melter? i always thought a facemelting guitar solo was one where the guitarist would make faces such as these, as if his face were melting... am i disconnected from the face melt?

i thought it meant it melted the listener's face off. cause the solo was too hot, as if the guitar were on fire from all the AWESOME guitar work. sparks flying and everything
this is my "fart on cue" face. i always push waay to hard when trying to fart on cue like when your hommies head is turned and you realize the planets have aligned so that you can squeeze off a salvo on your boy but all the sudden the fart juice goes into hiding.

who's this a-hole?
my favorite is the BASS FACE + BASS NECK COMBO. bass neck is when you cluck your head back and forth to the rhythm like a chicken.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING BASS HEAD.

this face has nothing to do with farts. this is like my "i just ate a kim chee burrito and 3 tommy's burgers and now i got butt curry" face.
ahh that also makes much sense. thanks.
I've wanted punch that dude's face for almost 30 years now.
sorry i had to quote the photo again. this is funniest solo face ever
braxton was a madman.
this dude has the "i'm 4 and mommy just took away my ice cream and i'm .04 seconds from screaming" face.

^^^I remember this guy always use to look like he was singing the metallica lyrics in german or something as he played the shit out of his drums...
