Bryan Beller Bass Clinic At the store on Saturday April 28th at 4pm Bassist, clinician, composer, freelance writer… there are some people who are good at so many things that they can never quite seem to focus on excelling at any particular one. Then there are truly multi-talented folks like Bryan Beller, who don't have that problem.   The unifying core of Beller’s triple-threat talent lies in his mastery of the bass guitar. Advanced at an early age and degreed by Berklee College Of Music at 22, he hit the ground running in Los Angeles in 1993, landing a gig with Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa’s tweaked rock project Z immediately after graduation. Also in that band was one Mike Keneally, a true Frank Zappa band alumnus and freakishly talented guitarist/composer. In a lasting gesture of solidarity with his avant-garde pop/rock/fusion musical vision, Beller left Z when Keneally did in 1996. Over ten years, seven albums, and countless tours later, their musical partnership continues to this day, strong as ever. Highlights include the Mike Keneally Band’s performance at the North Sea Jazz Fesitval in 2002, and their acoustic duo work as clinicians for Taylor Guitars. Keneally’s latest release, Guitar Therapy Live, is the musical culmination of his and Beller’s shared live experience. During his thirteen years in Los Angeles, Beller acquired a reputation as a uniquely talented yet supremely tasteful hired gun bassist for adventurous rock guitarists and singer/songwriters alike, touring and recording for Wayne Kramer (ex-MC5 guitarist), indie singer-songwriter Janet Robin (Lindsay Buckingham), and most notably, guitar legend Steve Vai, for whom Beller has served as a session ace on five albums. Beller’s varied experience led Vai to choose him as a special guest bassist for his performances with Holland’s prestigious Metropol Orchestra, with whom Vai recorded a full-length DVD due for release in late 2006.
