About Pino Palladino
The 6'8" Welshman is the epitome of a jack-of-all-trades—and, more importantly, a master of all of them.
Pino's playing brought an extra magic to the profound grooves of neo-soul, bolstered by his years of studying classic soul and funk bassists like James Jamerson, Bootsy Collins, and Rocco Prestia.
And part of that magic was created by his unique approach to a particular right-hand playing technique, actually spawned by his musical beginnings on classical guitar: palm-muting.
