A bass player has to think and play like a bass player. A drummer has to play and think like a drummer, and stay out of the way of the vocalist. The guitar player has to respect everybody else.
The worst thing I could be thinking is how could I be a cool bass player.
I'm a bass player from way back and Paul is a guitar player and we've been in many bands.
So the whole basis for jazz music is based on the fact that the bass player could not play his instrument.
None of us wanted to be the bass player. In our minds he was the fat guy who always played at the back.
I wasn't originally a bass player. I just found out I was needed, because everyone wants to play guitar.
Hendrix was the bass player for Little Richard. We were both left-handed, but we would use a right-handed guitar held upside down and backwards. He developed my slides and my riffs. In fact he used to say, and this is documented, 'I patterned my style after Dick Dale.'
I still don't really feel like a bass player.
I love my music, so I want to produce, write, and serve my music. I've had to learn about EQ frequencies and programming and space and clutter and how to be a better piano or bass player - everything.
I picked up 'The Hunger Games' thinking it was written at my regressed reading level. I've spent hours reading it, and I'm not even halfway through. Our bass player, whose name is also Nate, ended up reading all three novels and loved them.
