ABOUT
I've been playing for most of my life. I'm classically trained (degrees in classical guitar and lute), but I also played drums in my twenties. Ten yours ago, I wanted to get back to soul and funk, but not back to drums. Since I usually accompany people on bass lute, bass guitar was a natural fit, and I'm loving it.
I'm not in a band at the moment, so I've uploaded some tracks of me playing along to some of my favorite bass lines to give you an idea of what I can do. Hope you enjoy.
