Interview With Skinflint Bassist Kebonye Nkloso

Guitar and Bass Conversations ·

2025/02/14

Kebonye Nkloso… I am always fascinated to hear about music from other parts of our planet as much has yet to reach my ears. Hailing from Botswana, Skinflint has been rocking its kind of heavy metal since 2006 with Kebonye Nkloso as the bassist and a founding member. They were inspired by many of our time’s great heavy metal bands but chose to branch into specific music based on African spirituality and folklore. The result is unique and not quite like anything I have ever heard. Join m...

Interview With Bassist Dave Perry

Guitar and Bass Conversations ·

2024/12/12

Lately, I have been discovering quite a few multi-instrumentalists who create their music by playing all the instruments involved. The most amazing aspect of this to me is how proficient they are and how the bass plays a significant role in their music.Dave Perry is one such talented musician, and plays all the instruments in the band “Fear of Water”. Not only does he compose and perform all his music but he has had to surmount some serious obstacles to be where he is today.Join me as we lear...

I have known of Henry for a long time and admired his playing and wanted to get him in Jazz Guitar Today - but our roads kept missing each other. I was so happy that we finally put it together.

Interview With Bassist Hank Horton

Guitar and Bass Conversations ·

2024/12/05

I always enjoy the opportunity to talk to very seasoned career bass players.Hank Horton is a heavy-hitter vocalist, producer, and bassist who fits into that category. Hank has a diverse skillset where he can play electric for Jeff “Skunk” Baxter (and a ton of other renowned musicians), play upright in the Detroit Symphony, or be excellent in a Broadway pit. I also understand that Hank has been using the Katana-210 Bass Amplifier, typically designed for electric bass, for his upright bass...

2024/10/31

I am always impressed by musicians who can play and sing simultaneously. I am even in greater awe of these multi-instrumentalists who are highly proficient on many instruments.Richie Kotzen is one of these very talented musicians. His upcoming (September 27, 2024) album “Nomad” is proof as he plays every instrument in all but two tracks and does it amazingly well.
