I realized pretty soon that I have to do more than just play bass in the background way. So, I developed a kind of playing which only a handful of musicians accepted.

I wasn't originally a bass player. I just found out I was needed, because everyone wants to play guitar.

I decided that playing piano was a little bit too common, you know what I mean?

I'm sorry to say that no, I do not play the piano.

At the time, I didn't know that bass would not be enough for me. I'm not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day.

It's funny: I'm a lifelong musician, but because I principally play the piano it's been a solitary thing.

I'm not really a pianist.

And I definitely have an affinity with the piano.

I'm starting to play all the melodies with kind of keyboard sound but playing it from the bass guitar.

I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction.
