Bassist Of The Year

“Zack doesn't get nearly enough credit for all of his hard work and talent.” – Nicole Randolph, Helena, AL
Merrick's tips on being a successful bassist:
“One trick I've learned is to learn your scales all over your instrument. You can play a scale numerous times up and down the neck and it helps [you feel more comfortable] with fills and really improves your improvisational skills. Also, practice! Keep up on your chops. Thanks for the votes–I appreciate it.”
