Ian King - Why Being a Versatile Bass Player Will Be The Key To Your Success
123Today I'm joined by none other than Ian King who has provided the low-end for artists such as The Temptations, The Supremes, Sister Sledge, Paul Young and West End shows such as Shrek, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sister Act, and is currently playing in the award winning show "The Book of Mormon".
As you're going to hear in this interview, he's got oodles of experience in both the session, theatre and gigging scene... and was cool enough to sit down with me and share what he thinks are the key factors bass players such as yourself should be working on to break into this highly competitive theatre musician environment.
In this episode you're going to learn:
- How Ian started out playing in a holiday camp - and why it turned out to be an amazing learning experience for his bass playing
- Why playing in many different bands and styles was a key part of Ian's success
- Why younger players shouldn't come straight out of college and focus on the West End
- All about Ian's gear and why playing in a theatre brings a whole new set of challenges.
- And as always so much more…
