Guest teacher profile: Vince Di Francesco

Hi, I'm Vince from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I am 20 years old, and have been playing bass for about 7 years. I play in progressive band called Bison (www.bisonmusic.tk). I'm currently in my final year of the Jazz program at Mohawk College, in Hamilton, Ontario, where I have been a member of fusion and latin ensembles. I'm really into funk, progressive, jazz, latin, and pop music. I have always been interested in the bass's ability to be a lead instrument without forgetting our fundamental role as BASS players. With that philosophy, it may be easy to understand that I'm influenced by players like Jaco Pastorius, Flea, Juan Alderete, John Wetton, and Stuart Zender, who play(ed) that type of role on the bass. That being said, I still enjoy any good music, no matter what style or genre.

Vince's bass loops and tunes are featured here:

MarloweDK: Thx, im trying out a few Sandbergs right now, you will see shortly

Skywalker83: Congratulations Marlowe on your endorsment with Sandberg basses!

soporific: Thanx Langerz! I got the same reaction when something happens. Rather break a leg than brooze a hand:-)

MarloweDK: To Gospelwarrior: Check my Px4d settings here

MarloweDK: To Nix:As you probably can hear, im not getting it always either:-) Try tapping on a table and transfer that to the bass - and practice makes better, dont expect everything to be mastered after 1 hour/day/month/year;-)

Nix: Hi Marlowe, i'm working on the latest lesson L302 but i'm just not getting that the typewriter tapping part. Do you have any advise. Anyway, love your site and all your doing for the community. Peace :D

Gospelwarrior: Hi Marlow, I'm trying to gain some skill with my Korg Pandora px4, But I'm getting hung up in all the amp and cabinet settings. I'm not picking things up well from the user manual. do you know of any other book or cheat sheet to learn this equipment? Thanks; you are much appreciated

BD Bass: DK......Thx for that advice, in this small town, hard to find anybody. I'll try him out for a week or so, if it doesnt work, I'll have the need to do things on-line. This is a hobby for me, well into a money career thing, If I ever get to the point of a small gig, I would consider it major

LANGERZ: eventually get your hands feeling alot better in a short amount of time however this is only my experience

LANGERZ: dear soporific im verry sorry to hear about your accident god knows when you hurt your hands its hell and the first thing i think is " oh no what about my bass" im my opinion and experience I have found that playing extremeley slowly doing chromatics at first untill your hands feel a bit looser then go onto other scales whilst making sure your playing with the most comfortable back straight position you can
