Hello friends;
on YouTube , there's 3 videos from my 1st solo CD, "Crossing The Skies". Its a conceptual CD, that 'tells' a story about a plane trip, their scales and emotions, and the destination - place where goes on a "mental trip", and the listener can "choose" the end of this story, because the entire trip is interpretative, like a dream... or not

The CD is divided by 3 "scenes": "The Departure", "The Arrival" and "The Final Trip".

Watch the videos !

*CROSSING THE SKIES - music theme/"main track":

"Slap landing" is seriously good.

Great technique and presentation.

Thank's for posting that.

Hi folks!
I just "up" this topic to link another video, at this time, I'm playing a song from Don Ross, "Tight Trite Night". Based on Andy Mckee's version, but re-arranged for 6-string bass.

+1 !

Your economy of motion in your plucking hand when slapping is amazing. Wish I could do that.

What kind of bass is that?

I'm more of a meat and potatoes style bass player, but damn, I wish I could do that! Slap Landing is a great song! I have issues playing with 2 fingers at a time, and you can do 7 or 8! Incredible talent my friend, and tasty chops too!

Hi guys!
Thank's for watching the videos. Hope you enjoy it!
I'm using my custom bass, designed by myself and handmade by a local luthier (with final adjustments by myself, too). It's a 6-string bass, with 29 frets, to reach the high notes of a 7-string bass.

Thanks !
