Blog 5 - Free Topic: My inspirations and my Mentors in the Music

Hi dear reader, today I will talk you about my two pillars of my favourite music (my "heroes", my inspirations and my role models).

For as long as I can remember, I remind them to pierce my ears with iconic, magnificent and pleasant melodies. The first one I remember is Luis Alberto Spinetta (1950-2012) since he has been heard for a long time in my family. First my dad, then my older brother, me, my mom and my sisters. Apart from the fact that I love his music, I admire him as the person he was, the good person he was always considered, the genius he was considered for music, art and writing.

His way of loving music flooded me and led me to consider it as I do now, on the other hand, it led me to develop musical skills, I thought when I listened to it: "oh what a great song I want to practice on drums (at first), then on the electric bass (Present). Spinetta is my total idol, always i will always have him inside my musical heart.

My other idol, who inspired me to dedicate myself to the electric bass is Jaco Pastorius (1951-1987). Considered by himself and by others the best electric bass player of the world in his time. Inspiring millions and great bassists like: Marcus Miller, Richard Bona, Jeff Berlin, Ernesto Holman, Pedro Aznar, Cesar Franov, etc. It came into my life prematurely but without realizing it until I was 16 years old, when my interest for the electric bass grew up. 

Jaco drove me completely crazy when I listened to Portrait of Tracy again that time (it was actually one of the first songs I tried to get on bass [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsZ_1mPOuyk in case you want to hear it]), quoting a great bass player: I want to play like this guy.

Jaco transformed the way I set out in the face of electric bass and since that time I heard him, I consider him my role model.

I hope you liked my post, Greetings dear reader :D

    Awww I love your post!
    Spinetta is everything. His songs are really beautiful...what I love the most is how versatile his lyrics are. Many times it has happened to me that I go back to listen to a song that I didn't listen to a while ago, and the meaning for me is completely different. I love that and it makes me very emotional.... Spinetta is really unique and transcendental, a being from another world!

Free Topic: The Best Bassist to Ever Walk on the Earth

John Francis Anthony Pastorius III was born in Pennsylvania on December 1, 1951 and died in Fort Lauderdale on September 11, 1987 (age 35) as a result of brain death. Considered by his peers as the Jimi Hendrix of the electric bass for the way he revolutionized the way of playing bass. Characterized by his incredible speed, his unique sound (fretless) and his compositions taken from another planet, without a doubt, one of the most influential bassists in all of history. Personally, it is my greatest influence as a bassist, a product of the virtuosity he had, his great handling of the electric bass and the large amount of music he left in his short life. Solo compositions, musical creations within the Weather Report Group, musical arrangements, etc. All this positions him as my reference in the electric bass. "I am John Francis Anthony Pastorius III and I am the best bassist in the world" (words with which he presented himself from a very young age)

Blog 4 - Education

Hi dear reader! Today, I will tell you about the harms and benefit of the elite superior education in Chile from a critical perspective. On the one hand, the benefits of the elite education are limited to the technological capabilities they can deliver to their students. We can see all of elite universities of Chile and we can notice that, in those, the best technologies in the country are found in academic fields that deliver. Another point is its infrastructure that stands out above the majority of public or not so "prestigious and elite" universities. It is common to see that in elite universities, the field, classrooms, the casino, etc., have optimal and good quality buildings capable of meeting most of the needs of those willing to pay for an elite university. On the contrary, the list of disadvantages is more extensive than the previous one. First, if we consider that its accessibility proposes segregation for the Chilean population, we will begin by highlightin...

My Favourite Piece of Technology

Thanks technology! My favorite piece of technology, definitely, is my electric bass (I am in love with it and the picture shows my love for it). I bought it in August from a Concepción seller. I play many songs with him and especially songs by my favorite bassist Jaco Pastorius and songs by my favorite musician Luis Alberto Spinetta. Normally, I play my electric bass every day for at least an hour and I love playing bass because I can connect with the musical notes and enter a pure state of satisfaction and harmony, transporting me on a roller coaster of exciting sensations. My life without my electric bass would not be the same, since I enjoy his company, I love to deliver music through him and above all I love to play music with my favorite instrument.
