Music and Instruction for Bass Guitar
CHUCK BIANCHI
Chuck Bianchi has been teaching, performing, and composing music for bass guitar since graduating from Berklee College of Music in 1997. His projects have included progressive rock groups, jazz, pop, experimental improvisation, live theater, cover bands, instrumental ambient and new age music. Although playing in various groups is always satisfying, his true passion has been composing and arranging music that explores the melodic potential of the electric bass and highlighting the many sounds and textures possible on the instrument. Using alternative techniques such as two-handed tapping, harmonics, chords and a modified Michael Hedges influenced fingerstyle approach, he has helped to redefine what is possible on the electric bass guitar.
