About me (musical contents):
I've played_bassist_ with
Rhapsody ,power epic metal band,
and recorded gigged through the world for a while -
with MAny ,many ,MANY famous and not_so famous_but skilled_bands (say Nightwish,Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius and so on)
Played Albums Lives around The world The following in particular :
"symphony of enchanted lands"
"Dawn of Victory"
"Rain of a Thousand Flames"
"Power of the Dragonflame"
Plus various mini albums with one-shot or special songs included
On the immediate post-Rhapsody period ,
I've recorded some bass for foreign bands and and international projects in charge as "sessionist" ,thous not labeled in the credits .
Metal but aso rock-pop stuff.
EVen an Hip-pop project where i felt it was wiser decision to don put my name on it,not rapresenting myself and my style fully honestly.
After i 've left Rhapsody,and joined a band called Wingdom,
The album recorded is called "Reality",
Arranged and recorded In One Month in a very Isolated and Very Inspiring Location lIn Finland
where i found extremely skilled musicians and great guys
As:
the ex keyboardsit of Sonata arctica Mikko H..rkin ,and Sami Asp
(a guy who worked with the drummer of Steve Vai Virgil Donati ,
and with Derek Sherinian ,ex-keyboardist of Dream theater and Alice cooper)
Labeled by Stratovarius's Singer Timo Kotipelto,an amazing active Guy.
Great Band but ,except for the Great music ,there was a problem of distance,
As i'm italian and the rest of the band was living in Finland (really a pity)
Wingdom keep a bit of my Progressive Rock soul within.
_
Wingdom and the album "Reality"(where you can find me playing if you mind) are being distribuited Wordwide,you can find Infos easily on the Web

Always LOoking For good deals or good musician _:
And I explain here better:
"Well, good musician for me is not a technical person ,but an artist who can compose good stuff ,as a first rule."

sorry to keep bothering you like this, but i was wondering, for a 4 finger technique (index, middle, ring, and pinky) whats the best way i could go about practicing it?
