Did you play country bass or Funk/Zydeco bass?

Mostly Rock-n-Roll/Blues but some Christian Rock and Country too

The closest thing to Funk and Zydeco would be D'Yer Mak'er / some Nevil Bros SpyderWeb

Made the leap to five string but then I pretty much

stopped playing live so never went back to the four.

Well except for a brief impromptu appearance on stage

at my Daughter's wedding for Johnny B Goode

I was among the guests that were surprised that

I (still) could play

It made my wife and kids very happy

One day maybe I'll find myself back in the mood but these are different times :/

Music is a great uplifter. I play daily and some fingers are getting weird (long story) and if I can’t play my guitar I won’t want to live any more...

Great. The 5-string is big in Zydeco. Give a listen to some Beau Joque, the bass player is a wild man. It may inspire you.

(1/8th note 2 and 4-bar patterns)
