If there’s anything that could compete with the energy and badassery of girls playing guitars then it could only be one thing: girls playing bass!
In fact, bass is just cool. Whether you’re a beginner, professional or you simply like the low frequencies, you’ll be thrilled to hear about our next event: one of the busiest rock bassists in the UK, Becky Baldwin, is coming to guitarguitar Glasgow for an exclusive bass clinic!
Who is Becky Baldwin?
A fusion between Lemmy Kilmister and Kim Gordon, Becky is a Birmingham-based bass player who can put on one hell of a show!
BIMM Bristol alumni, Becky holds BA hons in Professional Musicianship and has taken her bass journey into a full-blown career. Since graduating in 2012, Baldwin has co-founded a specialist private music tuition company, Bristol Rock Centre, who run a teaching and rehearsal studio and she has also aided exam board ‘Rockschool’ in the writing and proofing of tuition/exam books.
On top of that, this Rickenbacker slinging artist has toured all over Europe, USA and Mexico, performing an impressive 100 gigs per year and she’s contributed to many session recordings at world-renowned studios such as West Triad Studio in Venice, California.
Becky is currently on bass duties in two alt rock bands, Hands Off Gretel and her own group Fury (which she manages), runs her own Patreon page and offers tuition, session and depping work. Endorsed by D’Addario, Neural DSP and Darkglass Amps, it’s safe to say Becky’s only just warming up and is on the fast track to bass stardom.
Details of the event
Becky hosted a rare bass guitar clinic which will be focused on… you guessed it, all things BASS! Becky spoke about her career as a bass player, touching on her experience in the music industry, her practice routine and her current rig. She offered advice on how to master the instrument whether you’re thinking about picking it up or already are a player looking for inspiration. Becky demonstrated her skills via play-throughs of some of her band’s tracks and she was happy to answer any questions from the audience and took photos upon the end of the clinic.
