Beast · #4 02-25-2008, 09:21 PM

Excellent stuff.

thanks everyone...Im sure I could really spend lots of time and make these songs real ballads or something but im happy with the short and sweet.

Hey this is very cool. I don't know if you're big on double bass but another good solo bassist is Brian Bromberg. His Album Wood is mostly just him. I liked All Blues and Freedom Jazz dance on that album. You might like listening to it.

yea man, im diggin the Brian Bromberg stuff...very crazy player!

I love this caption on his myspace

"Grammy nominated recording artist Brian Bromberg"

I have been getting great feedback. If your a fellow player, add me on myspace, we must unite!!

hi. was just wondering if jeff schmidt is an influence..? great stuff btw

The four myspace songs (and the others I have) are simply a result of watching the Bass Day 98 DVD two years ago. I had no clue really how to tap or anything before I saw Manring doing it.

I wanted to learn the tapping stuff, and I did sorta...but kinda just came up with this stuff somehow on my own. I did spin lots on Manring and listened to a lot of Michael Hedges around the same time I wrote most of the songs

I just kept hearing these melodies in my head and ran with it.

Jeff is a great player but I didn't really stumble across him till about the beginning of 07...I'm super glad tho that he's going after the solo bass thing...I don't think I have the balls to.

I added you on my personal account and on my band account.

Great stuff.

Barkless Dog · #11 02-27-2008, 05:54 AM

Great stuff. I love that the compositional nature of your songs. I listen to them as songs vs solo bass.

I downloaded them all. Thank you for allowing that. I appreciate it.

emohair · #12 02-27-2008, 03:04 PM

Im really stoked on all the good feedback im getting. Im glad people are simply enjoying it....everyone else just picks it all apart and tries to tell me how I should improve.

To me, these songs are what they are, and I like what they are. I'm just glad some people can also see that now.

Tell your friends and stuff, especially if you are downloading I would love for it to be shared as much as possible with people that might not have internet access.

emohair · #15 03-10-2008, 10:27 PM

cool stuff bro, more effects and stuff...very chill and spanish inspired stuff. Im kinda scarred thinking about how much time i would waste If I got a effects pedal thingy.

emohair · #16 03-17-2008, 07:15 PM

Bumping it up, looking for me people who are interested is cool music.

krazyduck · #19 04-07-2008, 08:03 PM

i like it.

how long does it take to be able to do that naturally? i started teaching myself bout three months ago, and im progressing nicely, but im just wondering.

wish i had someone who can teach me to play like that. . .
