Written down in history as the most hired bassist of our generation (Guitar Player Magazine), Abraham Laboriel continues to amaze in each and every song he plays in. This guy's got it all. Being Born in Mexico City, Laboriel always had aptitude for music. You can see much of the Spanish influence in many of his solos, because of the use of flamenco-style techniques. Laboriel is currently working in a band with Greg Mathieson, Bill Maxwell, and Justo Almario, called Open Hands. I personally don't listen to their music, however I really enjoy listening to Laboriel preforming his solos. Also, Laboriel is credited with using and reviving the 4 finger technique from classical guitar. He found a way to modernize the skill, and it proved very useful to him. Laboriel has worked with Michael Jackson, Barbera Streisand, Elton John, Herbie Hancock, Madonna, Paul Jackson, Jr., and so many more. Check out the videos for more!
