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.

: No, but its totally new still (2 days) Regarding "yuotube for bassplayers" remember our "sister site" www.youplayalong.com
: Right DK that's a good point, but i don't think many visitors have seen you can give a comment by video sending etc. I am planning on getting some record stuff soon, i work also with apple and im turning my garage band into my recorder but i need some cables, after that i would love to subscribe with video;s. With this page this site could be like, a "youtube for bass players"? sounds tempting to me =) See what you think bro!
: Hmm, "User licks" - thats a good idea, but let us see if anyone makes a video comment first;-)
: hey all.. what if? visitors have licks to share too? could we make a special page in the next site? for user licks? maybe increasing the site with some profound bass licks? greetz and happy 300 DK!
: Usually my middle for the G string and index for D string
: Hi Thomas. Do you use tour index finger to pull up the G string when slapping? Thanks
: New menu item: SUGGESTION BOX - please give your input
: By the way Smaz and others: Its time again to reorganize/redesign the site, any suggestions are more than welcome
: Yes, and then the "teacher" can comment on the performance too;-)
: I've been waiting for that! Can't wait to start adding my takes on the licks..
