my goal is to be somewhere in the area of Sir Beatle Paul and Derek Smalls..... gotta long way to go.
I guess I also suck, because I too do not slap...
I once saw a Bassist slap some in a Church in Memphis... seemed out of place somehow, but i thought it was cool. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Nebraska | | im pretty good ( i dont like to judge myself but... )
compare myself to a player .... hmm .... nobody really comes to mind right away. maybe sam rivers ( i hate limp bizkit mind you ). i consider myself able to do better than him ( not arrogantly ) i can play most anything if im given a few days/ weeks / monthes ( Jaco stuff )
writing .... hmm ..... fleas finger style probably. im mostly on emo right now. slow complicated songs with a mellow, jazz like feel then rock.

|  | I dreamt I was an old dog, stuck in a honey pot. | | Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Madison, WI | | everyone tells me that i'm a bad motherf....and logically i should be, because i landed the bass spot in the best/most popular band in madison (they were already the best without me having anything to do with it)...
but i don't really think so. i just don't feel like stuff comes out like how i want it to yet. like...if i were to sing a killer bass solo, and play a solo, they'd sound TOTALLY different.
i have lots of chops, so maybe that's why people think i'm good. i can take a dump all over the chord changes as long as i doublethumb something at the end i guess. i'd rather be able to play the slow sh!t that's in my head rather than the fast stuff that comes out of my hands.
as to who i sound like - i'd like to think a cross between stefan lessard and stu zender. stefan is so tasty, and stu is the funkiest bassist ever, IMO, and i do everything i can to try to emulate him.

And one green day song I learned at my lesson that I don't know the name of.
my writing style is like no ones because so far I have writen nothing. |

Well....I've been compared to a cat in pain. A screaming baby. And nails on a chalk board. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I've been practicing recently.
