From the Archives: Super Mario on Bass
This is my tapping version of the Super Mario theme tune which I filmed back in 2012. No Italian American plumbers were harmed in the making of this video.
First Carl Palmer US Summer Tour Date
The Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy USA summer tour will kick off at B.B. King’s Blues Club in New York City on June 2nd. Tickets are available here.
“Hoedown” Transcription Now Available
The full transcription for my play-along of ELP’s “Hoedown” is now available here (6-string version) and here (4-string version) in the tabs section of my website.
For those of you who’ve enjoyed the tabs that are available on my website and feel they’d like to make a donation I’ve created a button below. Thanks!

The transcription of my cover of ELP’s “Hoedown” is now available in Tabs.
New Bass Video – Hoedown
As a small tribute to the late great Keith Emerson I’ve recorded a playalong cover of the melody part from ELP’s version of Aaron Copland’s Hoedown. I’m using my Sei Bass Flamboyant 6.
Soul Kicker is available now
Lars Lind’s new studio album is available here from Shredguy Records. The album’s full of big riffs, guitar virtuosics, deep-pocketed drum grooves and tasty hammond licks and it was a pleasure to record bass for it. The band also features John Macaluso (Yngwie, Symphony X, Ark etc.) on drums and Jan-Frederik Heier on keys. Check out the video for Tred Machine below.
