Favorite Genres

Not really genre-loyal, but when it comes to bass-playing, I'll seek out music in almost any genre that challenges and interests me. I find a lot of this music in prog rock/metal, trash metal, alt rock, etc., but more importantly, it does exist in almost every genre of music. I'm not much of a Jazz guy, but I was forced to learn from it when I took lessons, so I'd be lying if I dismissed it as an important influence.

-Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter (I regret selling this one...)
