Interests
General
MY INTEREST ARE THE 6 STRING BASS, THE 5 STRING BASS, NOW THE 4 STRING SEEMS SO LITTLE AND ITTY BITTY NOW. IM ALSO PLAYING THE UPRIGHT, DOUBLE, CONTRA, BASS FIDDLE WITH HIGH ACTION, SO MY FINGERS WILL BE SO STRONG, AND A FETISH OF MINE IS LEARNING OTHER ARTIST'S SONGS SO I CAN FEEL WHAT THEY FELT TO PLAY WHAT THEY PLAYED, IT'S LITERALLY FREE BASS LESSONS. MY INTERESTS ARE THE FACTS OF HISTORY, MOSTLY ABOUT MUSIC. I BELIEVE THE FIRST INSTRUMENTS/MUSIC WAS SOME GRUNTS, SOME HANDCLAPS AND FOOTSTOMPS. MY INTEREST IS MY HOME STUDIO WHICH IS ALSO PORTABLE, I RECORD ARTIST HERE AT HOME AND I TAKE MY DIGITAL STUDIO TO GIGS TO RECORD ARTIST. MY INTEREST ALSO INCLUDE TEACHING BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE BASS GUITAR AND MUSIC THEORY, FOR INFO ON BASS LESSONS BY IVAN AKA BIG IVE, GO TO www.bigive.com and email me at ivanwilliamsbass@hotmail.comMusic
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, I LOVE FUSION MOST OF ALL, (TO ME IT IS ALL MUSIC COMBINED), JAZZ MOST OF ALL, ROCK IS THE SHIT (THEY WILL KEEP THE GUITAR ALIVE), HIP HOP, (RAP IS THE SHIT, MUSIC HISTORIANS WILL HAVE TO REWRITE HOW MUSIC IS MADE BECAUSE OF RAP). MUSIC SEEM TO ALWAYS HAVE A WAY OF REINVENTING ITSELF SO THAT IT BRANCHES OUT AND CREATES MORE BRANCHES THAT BRANCH OUT TO EVERYBODY), ALSO I LOVE THRASH METAL, CLASSICAL, SOUL, R&B, COUNTRY, I LOVE BLUES LIVE. I LOVE GOSPEL SO MUCH IT MAKES ME CRY. I LOVE IT ALL. IF IT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME THEN, ITS MY SHIT. WITH THAT SAID, THE MORE I LEARN ABOUT MUSIC, THE LESS I KNOW ABOUT MUSIC.Movies
I LOVE ANY KIND OF MOVIE. BUT IMMA GET YOU SUCKA ALMOST KILLED ME, THE FUNNIEST SHIT IVE EVER SEEN, AND SO WAS STIR CRAZY. I CRIED ON THE COLOR PURPLE. OH I ALMOST FORGOT I SAW THE EXOCIST WHEN I WAS 13 AND I ALMOST SHIT MY PANTS, THE SCARIEST MOVIE EVER MADE.Television
Books
I READ AND STUDY BOOKS ON BASS, BASS LESSON, MUSIC THEORY, CHORDS, SCALES, MUSIC HISTORY, AND EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION MAGAZINES. I LOVE TO LEARN, THEN I FORGET WHAT I LEARN SOMETIMES.Heroes
ALWAYS 1ST, AND FOREMOST, THE ALMIGHTY, NEXT MY MOTHER PAM, THEN MY UNCLE MONTE UPTHEGROVE (THE BEST MAN A NEPHEW EVER KNEW, HE IS MY FAVORITE MAN MAY HE REST IN PEACE), MY MUSIC TEACHER FRANK HARRINGTON, FRANK TOOK AN INTEREST IN ME THAT STILL TILL THIS DAY I CAN NEVER STOP PLAYING MUSIC BECAUSE OF HIS INFLUENCE. MY FATHER 'ERIC JAMES WILLIAMS'(RIP), CHESTER JOHNSON WHO WAS AT THAT FORK IN THE ROAD, HE DIDN'T FORCE ME DOWN THE RIGHT PATH BUT HE LED BY EXAMPLE AND I KNEW TO DO THE RIGHT THING. MARTIN LUTHER KING WHO I THOUGHT AT THE TIME WAS ASSASSINATED IN MY BACK YARD (THE BRAIN OF A KID), JACO PASTORIUS, STANLEY CLARKE, LOUIS JOHNSON, LARRY GRAHAM, PRINCE, JAMES JAMERSON WAS EVERY WHERE ON BASS IN DETROIT WHERE I GREW UP, HONORABLY MENTION GOES TO VICTOR WOOTEN AND BILL DICKENS, FRED WILLIAMS (FROM THE CROOKED I). THIS LIST OF HEROES WILL CONTINUE TO GROW (ON MY OTHER MYSPACE PAGE)BECAUSE I LOVE.
