Hey Janek, I was wondering what life was like for the first year or so after moving to NYC for the first time trying to make it as a bass player. I just graduated Berklee and moved to NYC and as for many, the work is slow. It would be great if you could shed some light on struggling at first...

Hey Janek, I was wondering, when your overseas, what do you request for a backline/what are your backline needs on the road? Do you even run into some common problems? Thanks James

Janek, Been watching some of the recent youtube videos up of you, continuously inspirational stuff. I was wondering if you shed some light on some of the effects you were using in this video: YouTube - Janek Gwizdala with Gary Husband: London Bass Guitar Show - Track 3 particularly at...

Janek, Thanks for the response. Could you expand a bit on what your specific preferences are when going into the studio? I'm wondering, do you leave a lot up to the engineer or do you specifically request certain mics, or any other gear to be used (if so, what do you request for...

Hey Janek, I'm wondering what you do to get prepared for a studio session especially with your own band. Could you walk us through what you go through and your process the week of recording with your group? Would be great to hear what you do to prepare for something like this. Thanks! James

Janek, Was able to catch you at the TC and Fodera booths at NAMM. Great stuff as always! I remember you jamming with Hadrien on one tune but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it and its driving me crazy. All I remember is at the end of the tune there's a V chord turnaround for 8...

Hey Janek, Just got the album, really great stuff again! I was wondering if the charts for the album were going to be available and if so, when and how can I get them! Thanks for all of the great music. James

Janek, When someone asks you what kind of music you write, how do you answer them? I've always wondered how you would describe your music to someone who's never heard it before. Thanks for the insight! James

Janek, I remember you mentioning that you fly with US Airways. What has been your experience with traveling on US with your bass? Have they been helpful when it comes to the care of your instrument? Also, if you could give any insight on why US is your preference, that'd be great as well...

Janek, I was curious about how you got the VV Brown and JEM gigs. These are both great artists and I really dig what you've been doin with em! I know they're both UK artists, does that have anything to do with you getting the call for it? Also, I'm wondering what goes into accepting a gig on...

Janek, thanks for the great advice, however, I've been working on this tune for a couple weeks now and my ear just isn't at the point where I can clearly hear the changes and transitions. I still have a lot of doubts about my transcription so if you could shed some light on it I feel I could...

no help?

Janek, Just watched this video of you with Wayne Krantz and Peter Erskine: Really inspirational playing and love the tune! I'm having a bit of trouble with it though. I know the solos are all over a minor blues, but the melody has some changes in the bridge that I can't quite pick out...

Janek, Hope the tours going well, been checking out the pictures, looks amazing! It's a crime not to post these concerts on Art on Earth! haha. I was wondering though, I'm currently a music student in NYC and was wondering what your life was like when you were 21 and how you got to where you...

Janek, I was wondering if you would every consider recording and uploading your clinics for purchase on Art On Earth. I'd definitely shell out the money to hear them and I'm sure plenty of other people would to. Let me know what you think! James
