I personally wouldn't recommend going to lightest, maybe a middle ground? Like 100's?

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1372859658' post='2130804'] Thaks, I do mate, and I play guitar, bugger about with drums, and now beatboxing Jake has made music theory fascinating to me, I always thought it would be, like maths, you just need the right teacher. [/quote] Actually music theory and maths is a pretty good comparison I've never found it interesting personally but I've got enough to get by should I need it and know enough to learn more by myself if I am so inclined. It's a good place to be. I did hit a point where I couldn't "let go" and think outside of the theory I knew which turned into a problem for a good while though

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1372859085' post='2130788'] I'm a decent player, I can write, play other instruments to a good standard, and I've got good ears. I don't know much theory and I don't read music well, but I thought my ears and experience compensated for those lackings. I play with some great musicians in amateur and professional bands. I've been playing for 30+ years. I really thought I knew some sh*t about music and playing bass. But having started taking lessons from Jake, I have had my brain fragmented, and we are in the process of putting it back together to create a new improved mass of grey sh*t in my bonce. I've realised that my lack of confidence was compensated for with a certain vanity, and a bunch of excuses. The fact is, I'm feeling like a musical baby now, starting with the very basics of music theory and building towards a proper understanding of my fretboard and harmony. I've imparted a fair bit of 'wisdom' on this forum about playing bass over the last few years, but looking back, most of it is utter bullshit, rubbish, imparted from a position of blind ignorance and sheer laziness, and a lack of ability to perceive the benefits of learning music theory and notation. I think I'm beginning to understand now. I feel like I have wasted decades f***ing and fiddling around, trying to unlock the fretboard through pattern recognition and reading crap out of various books without understanding why. I could have spent a little money on a tutor, and some focused time and energy, and saved years of aimless pissing twattery. I'd be a helluva lot better now if I'd have done that, and I'd have talked a lot less f***ing bollocks on here. [/quote] If you want to get your head around musical theory without it seeming incredibly dull I recommend taking up keyboard as a side hobby mate. The bass is a great instrument but it isn't a visual one. When you have those keys in front of you something just clicks IMO

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1372857678' post='2130762'] I'm working on my own, currently. Sorry, but it will be a [b]terrible arrangement of Midi instruments[/b]. It's all I can do ([b]and I can't even do it very well[/b]). [/quote] So you're making a terrible arrangement of midi instruments badly? So... cancelling out the negatives here means that you're going to create a good arrangement of midi instruments well

Bloody hell, 2 great tunes already!

Liking it, really reminding me of pink flloyds "money"
