Bass Alone

Mike began playing solo bass, as a student at the Berklee College of Music, in 1979. The arrangement was “Misty”. Mike then spent the next 10 years hidden away in a cave in Vermont (actually a rather nice house) working on the techniques and arrangements that would, became “The Chordal Approach” and lead to his recurring solo bass lesson columns in Bass Frontiers, Bassics, Bass Guitar and more. Mike was also one of the original “Ask The Pros” on Talkbass.com as well as a contributor to Bass Player Magazine, Global Bass Magazine, Bass Player Magazine as well on internet sites such as For Bass Players Only, No Treble and The International Institute of Bass.
