I've read a few of your posts here and it seems that you don't like the busier style of playing. Please don't take this as a personal attack or anything of the sort, but not everyone is going to play the same way.  Some people like playing/listening to a busier style while others prefer a more toned down approach.

Just like DeBassJr1 said, the producers wouldn't have allowed the track to make it onto the CD if they hadn't liked what they heard.  Gouche is an amazing bass player and is also a musical director.  I can remember reading an article on him stating that he won't take a gig if he's not going to be the MD.  Is this because he's selfish or wants to "steal the show"? In my opinion, No.  Honestly, I think the man just knows his stuff and wnats to play at his best every single time.  He knows himself and how he plays so he prefers to be the leader that God has called him to be.

Again, don't take this as me trying to step on your toes.  I'm just asking you to keep an open mind when listening to someone else play.  I've never heard you play but I'm sure there's someone out there who thought you didn't play enough notes/runs/etc.  Now that's not to say that they are right because having different gifts is what makes each of us unique in God's sight but to bash on someone else isn't right.

Just my .02 cents.


God Bless,

Here are 3 clips of me messing off. I will post more soon

Yo I'm new to this site but I'm feelin it already. I been playin bass for bouta year and got a long way to go. But as far as Andrew Gouche, he is my favorite bassist I've already thought of his style as being one similiar to what I wish to develop.
Yo uprising_bassist, that first file u posted of him is now sayin that it's expired on YouSendIt. You think maybe u could send it to me?; I haven't saw it yet. ???

The point about different styles is exactly on.  There are players at church that are just as good, or better than I am that play a very sparse style and I have a hard time watcing them because i want to jump up there and put in the other 12 notes I think they left out

When you hire someone like Andre, you know what you're getting and if they didn't want it they would have hired someone else (for a great deal less, I suspect).  His style is probably why Andre likes to be the MD, then he calls the shots as to what the arrangements are and can configure his own space in the mix.  Hey, if you're that good, why would you let someone else bury you in the background?

The one caveat about playing a busy style is that the more players are involved, the easier it is for you to get in their way. You're responsible for a lot more music in a three piece band than you are when there are 6 other musicians and a choir.  So if you try to play the same in both situations you're bound to either get in touble in the larger ensemble, or bore people in the trio.

I watched the BET awards and if you're that bass player, brother, whether you knew it or not, you were stealing the show.  I went to the website for the awards to try and find out who the bass player was, but no luck.  Is there a website where you have a list of the stuff you're on?

He did play on the awards show, and he did not steal the show.  If anyone stole the show it was Prince.  I'm not saying I don't like Prince, but your statement is not true at all.  How many times did the camera pan over onto Andrew?  Not once.  Andrew has a style where he plays melodically and fills in gaps.  Like someone said, if these artist didn't like his style, he would not get asked to play as much as he does.

I'm not telling you that he stole the show for the producer.  No, he was hardly ever even on camera, and the average person probably wouldn't have even been aware of just how much he was contributing to the show, but I could hear him back there and for me he made the show and when he lit up some of those runs everything else just went away for me.  Man, even coming through the TV he was awesome. 

The problem was I couldn't find any credits listing him so I could get some CDs with him on.  I just want to know where else I can hear him do the same thing on CD.

Yo, Whats up everyone. Yeah this IS Andrew Gouche. Its always very interesting to see and hear peoples interpretation of what I do. I really appreciate the kind words from most of you, and those of you who have negative remarks, I ain't mad at you either! I learned a LONG time ago, that no matter what you do, everyones not going to like it. But I can say this, I play from my heart, using the gift that God has given ME, and I would encourage all of you to do the same! Don't worry about people hating on you, as long as you use what He's given to His glory, He will honor that! PEACE!

Jeremyr, this sums it up.  The great Gouche is with us.  By the way, because of him,  I'm looking at getting me a MTD.
