Bobby is a hugely inspirational player and studio session legend. Not only does he excel at all bass techniques, he is also responsible for developing this unique pick-funk style as far back as the early seventies. He's performed with an awesome array of artists including Sly and the family stone, Tower of power to name a few.
This guide covers the fundamentals of the technique and should set you up to start building your chops. Mastering this technique will massively improve your sense of time, groove and feel. It's also incredibly enjoyable and rewarding once you've put the time in.
Anyone who knows me, knows how much I admire Bobby and his fearsome technique. Great guy! Check out Bobby's site here www.bobbyvega.com
