Former MEGADETH Bassist DAVID ELLEFSON Introduces BEAMZ Software

January 4, 2010

Former MEGADETH and current F5 bassist David Ellefson has posted the latest episode in "David Ellefson's Rock Shop", an ongoing YouTube video series hosted by the bassist himself.

In Episode 26, David introduces "a cool new device" for playing and creating music called Beamz. He says, "I contributed several original compositions to the Beamz software, which is bundled with this really cool external peripheral device that allows the user to play and create music utilizing its built-in laser beam technology. It's very simple and fun to use for anyone, regardless of their age, skill or musical experience."

Ellefson is scheduled to appear at the Beamz booth during the the upcoming NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show on Thursday, January 14 at 2:00 p.m. at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

Ellefson previously stated about his "David Ellefson's Rock Shop"YouTube video series, "I'm always asked questions from fans and other musicians about playing the bass, the business side of our industry, and music in general. So, I decided to create these regular video webisodes as a way to inform and respond to many of those questions."

In addition to numerous gold and platinum records and seven Grammy-nominated works, David is the author of the book "Making Music Your Business" and has two metal bass guitar instructional DVDs through Rock House Method entitled "Metal Bass Vol. 1" and "Vol. 2". He is also a featured bass clinician, keynote speaker and panelist on the subject of music and the music industry.
