I’ll be hosting a session thru @aworkshoplive on 4/15 where I’ll be discussing my approach to bass. Titled “Bass Guitar Beyond the Root” the time will be dedicated to techniques for thinking differently about the role of bass guitar in both vocal and instrumental music!
Ahhh dang thanks to the folks @ernieball for this very kind write up they included me in for their “Follow Friday” blog. Needless to say it’s very humbling to be featured along with the other amazing artists they have listed! blog.ernieball.com/artists/f…
