An essay about my history with music, and my favorite bass players as a sugestion for you to hear. Playing bass-guitar is something unique. It's an instrument really interesting and with an wonderful sound. I started to play bass guitar when I was about 14 years old. I remember starting with some friends from my neighborhood. We used to meet often to play musics of the band that they were on the top of sucess and fame at that moment of our life as a teenagers, like Guns and Roses, Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, and etc. So I started to play the bass line of the music even with my acoustic guitar. After a while I started to be more interested on the bass line. Consequently I started to surch for a place to study and learn more about music and the fascinated incstrument that the bass guitar is. Thus, I full my formular to fill a position on that school. I did the tast and I was approved. I started to study on "Conservatório Pernambucano de Música" and I lerned to read score* there (I don't know if this word is right. I just found it at the dictionary)*. That was nice because it gave me more autonomy, and what I would like to learn, I just could search by the score of that music and artist. From then on I started just to get the musics that I would like to. So, I started to learn more especificly jus about the bass players. I got a Bass-Guiter as a gift from my mother, and my interest by music just became more serious, but not as serious as a professional. It is just a serious hobby that I have. I played on to bands and we used to play in few nightclubs where I live. That was nice because we could get some money and have fun at the same time. The first band (and the main one for me) was called Jonny Bravo, that it is the name of a Cartoon. It was really good because the band had a good conection, but after a while we've got splitted because the guitar player went to Canada, and all the members started planing something different for their lifes, like get married, travel, or anything that it was of personal interest. We used to play the classics of pop rock. And about my suggestions of bass players, we have the most famous bass players of the world, like Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Jaco Pastorius, Jhon Patituci, Abraham Laboriel, Stanley Clarke. I like Dave Holland so much and metamorphosis is someone of my favorite music of him. His bass line is amazing. From Brazil, I really like Nico Assumpção. It has Frederico Malaman, who it is new for me. I like the happy stile of Richard Bona. You can also suggest me someone of the bass players you know.
