Dominic “Forest” Lapointe: First Fragment’s “Soif Brûlante” Playthrough
Dominic “Forest” Lapointe is one of the most incredible fretless players in the world. He’s just released a playthrough video for First Fragment’s “Soif Brûlante,” which is highly demanding and equally musical.
The bassist utilizes just about the entire range of his six-string bass with a mesmerizing plucking hand technique. He also mixes things up with two-handed tapping and strummed chords for texture changes.
Buckle up for this one.
