BASS LINES BY JAIME VAZQUEZ: THE SIXTEENTH-NOTE GROOVE PART V – GARY WILLIS’ STYLE…Hello bass players and fans of bass playing! This is Part v! Dedicated to the American bass player, composer, instructor, author of amazing books for the bass guitar and BMM colleague, “Gary Willis!” Known for his work with Tribal Tech, Garsed/Helmerich, Allan Holdsworth, Dennis Chambers, Wayne Shorter, and his powerful solo projects. I would recommend to study his breathtaking technique and his approach for soloing and grooving! For me, it’s a great honor to show some of Gary Willis’ sixteenth-note grooves.  Remember! Willis uses 5 string basses, so I have adapted some bass lines for a 4 string bass using standard, Drop D and Low B tunings. Let’s groove with Willis!
