One of the main skills I'm working on right now is expanding my vocabulary and diversity in the number of styles, substyles and sub-sub-styles of music I can play/know as a bass player.. no matter how obscure.. Take for instance African music.. the actual music differs quite a bit and is very specific to the country/tribe/mountain/valley of Africa it is coming from.. taking that as a context, I'm sure that if we pool all our knowledge in one place including the style name and a favorite sample, we can all increase our flexibility and help each other find new sources of inspiration... Please add what moves you
