The zen of bass

The attitude of getting out of the way of the process

(PRWEB) January 17, 2004 --We took the time to look up the bass player Daryl Hayott, the self proclaimed zen master of the process. As we sat in his studio it was clear he was at home. The place has at least ten bass guitars, ranging from four strings to six. When asked why? " The individual bass has an individual voice".You have to look at this as a palette of colors, and the music as a canvas. I'm not caught up on the technical differences when it comes to the number of strings. A painter is not going to use just one brush for every painting. I know this ,because i'm also paint. The tools you use depends on the effect you are seeking. The key is the zen of the process. I strive to get the ego out of the way. I seek the emptiness of the flow, no overthinking or overplaying. I get tons of questions about strings, technique, brands, blah blah. It's like cattle wanting to graze on the same pasture. I drop all of that crap, and just try to stay rooted in the song. It's a zen thing. I think that the inspiration comes from one source, just get out of your own vanity and let the source expess itself".This is why he stays on top of the bass .Thanks for the light Daryl.
