Dave LaRue – Bass

Dave LaRue is an American bass player who performed with the Dixie Dregs from 1988 to 2017 and with guitarist Steve Morse’s Band since 1989. He also has worked with Dream Theater’s John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian and Jordan Rudess. He plays Music Man basses, among them the “Sterling” and “StingRay 5 five-string” but has mainly switched to their “Bongo” line (which he was instrumental in helping develop) including four- and five-string fretted and fretless models. From March 2006 to September 2006, he toured with Joe Satriani. Most recently, LaRue became a member of the supergroup Flying Colors alongside long-time bandmate Steve Morse.

This chart is the complete bass part for the tune ‘Cool Wind , Green Hills’ from the 2004 Steve Morse Band album ‘Major Impacts 2’. Influenced by Enya/Clannad would you believe? The tune is an easy read and an easy play so a nice one for new readers.
