BassDayUK tomorrow so I should get used to the slapfest really![/quote]
Diehard Chilis fan, even have the band tatoo on my forearm. My biggest influence by a mile.
Went to see Level 42 on Tuesday and thought they were brilliant - some people miss the point thinking that all MK does is the slappity slap thing - his finger playing is equally amazing.
Try to listen to as much as you can - my favs are the above, Chris Squire, Lemmy, John Deacon and my slap playing is a combination of Flea and listening to Nathan East's first instructional DVD about a squillion times
One of my favourite clips ever
