I started Classic Guitar when I was 11 then moved to electric and bass guitar. I played bass guitar for 30 years in many bands and genres (pop, rock, jazz, fusion), then I switched to acoustic instruments. Cello first then Double Bass and lately piano. I mostly play classic music in a symphony orchestra. Once a week I play jazz either with DB or Cello in a duo setting with a pianist.
