Dave LaRue – Bass

Dave LaRue is one of the those bass players that can do almost anything including Rock, Funk, two-handed stuff and aggressive slap and pop. On this track, however, he isn’t doing anything like that and is pretty much staying on the roots and fives. Another easy read for those who are starting out on their reading journey.

LaRue has performed with the Dixie Dregs from 1988 to 2017 and with guitarist Steve Morse’s Band since 1989. He also has worked with Dream Theatre’s John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian and Jordan Rudess. From March 2006 to September 2006, he toured with Joe Satriani on the Super Colossal tour. Most recently, LaRue became a member of the supergroup Flying Colors alongside long-time bandmate Steve Morse.

This is a simple bass part from the tune ‘4 Minutes To Live’ from the 1996 Steve Morse album, ‘Stressfest’.
