I think i was in grade 11 when i fell in love with bass guitar. A friend of mine introduced me to Blood Sugar Sex Magik on a school bus trip and that pretty much changed my life. I remember scrounging up the $30 or so to buy the bass guitar songbook for that album, borrowing a bass for the summer and teaching myself how to play.

I immediately got into all the bass virtuosos, including Victor Wooten – who is probably most well known for his work with Bela Fleck & the Flecktones. He is also probably the most impressive slap bass player i have ever heard, thanks to his mind boggling use of harmonics & ‘double thumbing’ technique .

Last night i had the opportunity to check him out @ Lee’s Palace in Toronto and was completely blown away (no big surprise there). Lots of great funk/soul jams and some seriously inspiring solos. I definitely want to start using some of his bass tricks in my own playing if i can.

I brought my SLR camera down and took some shots of the show – check them out here.
