Lead Bass

Me and my Bass Guitar

Hello

Welcome to my homepage. I am 17 years old. I played guitar for about a year, then I switched to bass. But not for some stupid reason like guitar was too hard for me. I could have kept playing guitar and got really good like my brother, but I know I can also become really good at bass. I am pretty much his lower end equal, except for it's harder to play solos on bass so I still have to work on that. But it's the best jamming with him and I enjoy playing bass alot more. Anyways, I have been playing bass for about a year. I have a twin brother who is one of the guitarists for my band, and he is really good.

My Basses

I have a 5 string ESP B-105 and a 4 string Fender Jazz. I have learned that the best way to practice is to practice the scales. They make your fingers move quicker and you can play all over the fretboard. I'm trying to practice so I can start playing solos.
