    Thank you for sharing this, I really had no idea about this despite having played music for a long time, and trusted what Adam Neely said blindly.

      The guy has a bachelor’s degree in performance from what amounts to a trade school. He’s a reasonably competent musician, but just like I wouldn’t expect a plumber with the same education attainment to be an expert in materials science and the history of municipal engineering, I wouldn’t expect a bass player with a performance degree to be an expert in music theory, music history, conducting, linguistics, or any of the other fields Neely comments upon when he has an agenda.
