Solo electric arrangements, compositions, and bass demonstrations
About Me:
Among the pop/rock/jazz artists that I have worked with are Mitch Miller, Carol Lawrence, Ethel Merman, Mary Martin, Shari Lewis, George Shearing, Marian McParland, Michel Legrand, Anna Maria Alberghetti, Helen O'Connell, Rosemary Clooney, Cab Calloway, The Fifth Dimension, Jose Feliciano, Eartha Kitt, Richard Harris, Ruth Buzzi, Big Bird, and...Mr. Rogers.
Unless I fell off my chair and had to restart, 95% of these videos are first takes. You'll have to take the bad with the good. That's human, not perfection.
Because of the unique demands that a bass makes on small speakers, especially computers, I suggest using headphones to more fully capture the true sound.
I present high school and college/university level assemblies and workshops for the cost of travel expenses and a nominal fee... it's fun.

Have now subscribed mate, and as I've said in my emails, I really love your work, and the depth of what you can get out of that humble instrument is truly outstanding. I'm looking forward to our collaboration, so will be in touch soon.

Happy new year sir. Found your vids by realising I was playing Born To Be Wild wrong and checked Y.T. for some instruction. Loved the Beatles demos and especially the little chats about what was going on with the line, not least because of the limits of seeing what's going on beneath any bass players hand. If you need any requests, how about some Spiders Bowie tunes? Mr Boulder is so overlooked. All the best.

i enjoy watching and learning your vids and just for the sake of watching you lay it down. Your bass tones are superb! I took reading lessons from a symphony bassist, building bass lines lessons from a jazz bassist and played in several bands some good experiences and some not so good but overall learned a lot about the instrument and people. I've played for 6 years now and enjoy it to no end. There are a lot of great bass vids on Youtube and just want to say thanks for your efforts. I enjoy them and I know a lot of others are too.
