My writing varries -

If I'm writing with bass, then it's hyperactive funk, or semi chordy basslines... or a mixture there of. Now that I have a fretless and have been listening to Jaco I'm playing around with harmonics more than I had been (though I devised the intro to Standing with tapped harmonics before I listened to Jaco).

My guitar stuff typically has lots of chords and is moody. What melody there is comes from the chord changes. I like really odd "open" sounding chords. I can't name most of them actually.
