CREATIVE / WILD & EXPERIENCED BASS PLAYER - FRETLESS 6 STRING OR 5 STRING FRETTED. From Odd time signatures, polymetrics, Dissonance to Jazz, Groove, Prog.. I've got you covered using a blend of tools from various genres to bring real life to your music. Im best suited for: all types of metal (especially experimental), prog , jazz, funk, blues.
I've been playing music since 1999. Currently specializing in 6 string Fretless Bass. I began as a metal guitarist then branched into many genres.I am experienced in a variety of sub genres but prefer the experimental, dissonant, odd timings with a solid groove foundation. I tend to prefer music that is not completely very straight forward and thus has experimental or "thinking" elements to it.I Left metal for years to purely focus on jazz , prog and funk guitar (about 12 years) then came back to metal a few years ago. In this experimental period i learned a good amount of jazz guitar theory , chordal structures, modal theory and more. Explored many sub genres of jazz: Bossa nova, bepop, free, post bop, swing, and more which I bring that all back into metal to create a new palette of tones and colours, which I find works well. I play bass using a unique 5 finger technique i developed that blends: Pami classical fingerpicking, wes Montgomery thumb technique and Charlie hunter style hybrid compound finger picking style. I can read sheet music (slowly), and can easily figure out stuff by ear, so I never use tabs.
I'm super malleable and bring unique ideas to the table! Expect me to mash together my experience in all these genres to bring some serious life to your project.
