Hi Eric, Honestly, I must be the world's most accidental bass player. I goofed around with it a little when I was in my teens, but guitar was and has been my focus instrument. When I lived in LA I got a call from a friend whose bassist had to cancel at the last minute, so I borrowed a bass and faked my way through the night. My friend was happy enough with me to keep me gigging on the instrument for about a year, but I've always considered myself just a workman on it. When I came back to Ohio I found more work as a bassist than as a guitarist, so I just carried on with it. I'm a finger-picker and a flat-picker on guitar and bass. I use a pick on Outside Woman Blues and on Woke Up This Morning, fingers on I Don't Know Your Name. My right-hand technique is straight from classical guitar, i.e. thumb and three fingers. Btw, I liked Jack Bruce back in the day, but I admired John Entwhistle's technique. :) Thanks for checking us out, Eric, I appreciate it. Best, dp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
