SEEKING

ABOUT

Older pro bass player with over 45 years of playing everything from the Beatles to Emerson Lake & Palmer with a good dose of old country & R & B thrown in. I have a natural ear for picking up new music or adapting to a different band's style. No need for cheat sheets. Have touring/recording studio experience with equipment to match the size of club or venue. Do not use picks but rather have a "3 finger style" of playing. Can do a few lead vocals but as the years have advanced would rather perform backing vocals, but have a good understanding of harmonies required. Having also been a lead guitarist can understand what the guitarist in a band is doing which helps in learning & bringing out the best in the song style.
