Guy Pratt is a true music veteran. As far as playing in bands, he’s been around the block a few times to be sure. A session bass player who’s played with the likes of Pink Floyd, Madonna, Iggy Pop, Michael Jackson, Natalie Imbruglia, and The Smiths, he no longer has to find a band to play with, they’re nearly knocking down the door asking him to.

But of course, it wasn’t always that way. Guy Pratt describes to t5m the search for a band to play with, the audition process, and the thrill of finally playing bass in a band.
