One of my main influences. For those of you who don't know, he was the main bass player for Lynyrd Skynyrd. The album(s) he didn't play in, he wrote the bass lines for the other to play. Really bringing up the low-end in the Southern rock scene. |

The only thing Leon came up with on that album was the first part of the bassline to Gimme Three Steps.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Sioux Falls, SD | | | Gimme 3 Steps is a favorite of mine as well. I have grown to loathe the song from way too many times of playing it in mediocre cover bands, but there is definitely a lot of bass goodness there to dig in to. |
