Highlights from a pretty cool segment of my Twitch stream the other night. I played @machine_head , @dragonforcehq , and @gojiraofficial song requests back to back while repping @oncehuman with the shirt. And then someone tipped me $100. 😳🤘🏻#Twitch #bass #espbass #rocksmith #rocksmith2014 #gojira #machinehead #dragonforce #oncehuman #music https://www.instagram.com/p/B9uYWsMlBJN/?igshid=1sopgjvujuv7j

Sometimes I forget exactly how pale my winter complexion is until five different people ask me if I’m sick while I’m casually camouflaged against a white wall. #selfie #pale #greeneyes #snowwhite (at Colorado Springs Chorale) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8f7QjKF537/?igshid=1kgf7d040nk9w

Pretty sure my mom’s friend gave her a bottle of Romulan ale.🤓 #wine #prosecco #bluealcohol #romulanale #saraceni https://www.instagram.com/p/B8NytDFF20p/?igshid=18vc0rmrulggw

@odysseygastropub once again had one of the tastiest beers I’ve ever tried! This one was a Chocolate Coconut Blonde by @drydockbrewing, and it was reminiscent of a really high quality cream soda with hints of white chocolate. Absolutely delicious. 🤤 #beer #drinks #delicious #alcohol #tasty (at Odyssey Gastropub) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7gdtG7FBSX/?igshid=1ty3pxt308gxw

Also, these were supposed to be “small.” People ordering them complained about how they were so small, so I figured they’d be perfect. LIES. Anyone want some dirty lying finger picks? #bass #electricbass #fingerpicks #lies #esp #espbass https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Y7TV5FDur/?igshid=1bik621t7muzz

Trying a new thing! I tried these stainless steel finger picks yesterday, and they worked alright but were too long. So, I heated them and molded them to my fingertips. Let’s try it! #bass #bassguitar #metalmusic #music #fingerpicks #esp #espbass https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Y5hrzlQUL/?igshid=japwg5dkm06y

First night of rehearsal for an absolutely monumental undertaking: Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem! This is only the third time in my entire lifetime that this piece will have been performed in Colorado, so it’s pretty darn cool to be able to do this. #chorus #choralmusic #music #britten #benjaminbritten #brittenwarrequiem #singing #choir #coloradospringschorale https://www.instagram.com/p/B7XaDKbF3e0/?igshid=smkyu57qmg2z

Necessity breeds innovation! In this case, this is probably going to become my signature style as a bassist until I can get frets I’m not allergic to. I already regret streaming with these on and I haven’t even tried it yet. 😅 #allergy #hands #nickelallergy #bass #espbass #electricbass #fingercots https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UcujiF19G/?igshid=yx7ztyjr4qr

SICK. Bought my first 5-string bass today! It’s an ESP LTD F-105, and it’s a beautiful instrument! Also comes with a handy built-in boob rest. 😂😂😂 #bass #electricbass #bassguitar #esp #espguitars #espbass #5stringbass https://www.instagram.com/p/B7E8aFGlre8/?igshid=19n57i7psrnpa
