Erik Arkö: The 12 Types of Metal Bass Players, Part 3
Last year Erik Arkö made a pair of videos parodying the “12 types of metal bass players.” Now he’s back with part three, and it’s just as great.
From “Les is More” to “The Folk Metal Guy,” Arkö has some fun with the genre. As with all good parodies, there’s a decent amount of truth to each spoof but no matter the style he lays down some serious bass in every example.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
