Nader Bouberhan and His Albums of Life

So this is a window into the existence that is Nader Bouberhan. I hope that it will give some people a closer glimpse into who I am. Also, I hope you like Solo Bass Guitarists. I honestly could not pick a single album for some years, so here is a sloppy and choppy list of things created by Moi. Tie: REM Green and Radio Free Albumuth by Stuart Hamm 1988 Flow my Tears the Policeman Said by Stu Hamm The Offspring 1989 “Jennifer Lost the War.” YES Judas Priest Painkiller 1990 Painkiller Pearl Jam Ten 1991 Black = You could pick any song off of this album.

And that is my request. Erik Mongrain, a native of Montreal Quebec, knows how to play guitar. I guess he would be nominated for best instrumental performance non-classical or something fancy like that. Mongrain has become known for his signature two handed lap/tapping technique that includes lots of harmonics. Watch it here in the song called Airtap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbndgwfG22k This video has been viewed over 4 million times, and about 1.2 million of them were me. He can play slow. He can play fast, but it’s safe to say Erik Mongrain plays well. Here is the vid to his song Fusions, which is also one of my favorites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDGXs3wuaPQ Right now he has two studio albums out, and I think the first one is the best. But be on the lookout for something new in the future. (I hope there's a third.)
