About
I have a varity of different techniques, i play slap, tap, finger style, and finger strum/picking. I have played in a number of different bands. most recently a local alt metal band, We recieved and award for best band in north west indiana, also I recieved an award for 3rd best bassist in northwest indiana. In 2003 I recieved semifinalist recognition in the 2003 international song writing compotition for a song i wrote. I also am learning to play the piano and the guitar so I can better write my own music. I would like to be creativly involved, but I enjoy playing songs that are not my own.
Influences
My core influences are pretty much anything that is 90's alt rock/punk. My roots come from offspring, greenday, smashing pumpkins, red hot chillipeppers (i love flea) and other late 80's and 90's alt rock/punk bands. Recently I have been interested in a little bit more complex music and anything with more then just surface, anything with emotion feeling my favorite band right now is Muse if that helps.
Equipment List
I have an ampeg svt 4 pro with a 6x10 cab and a 1x 15 cab a 4 string schector, and a 4 string soundgear.
