Hey..

Hi all,

My name is Laurence. As you can tell from my ID, I am a bassist pursuing guitar. My experience has been that it's usually guitarists switching to bass, but I first trained to be a bassist.

I am here to expand my technique and music theory. We bassists tend to be analytical and technical minded and that's how I intend to approach what's being offered here. I purchased a Red strat American equipped with DG-20 EMG pickups, and I will be training on that. I like the hot glassy tube driven tones, dorian scales, british blueman stuff.

I gravitate towards players who have carved a distinctive sound or tone, or who can communicate with their instrument. such as
David Gilmour
Nile Rogers
Santana
Luther Perkins (Johnny Cash's old player)
Robin Trower
Leroy Bonner of the Ohio players (I really love funky dead picking and grooving)

Anyhow, be seeing you around and hope we all get what we came here to get, and not get discouraged. Let's give it some quality time. write to me anytime at [email protected]
