Keep putting them up mate. I'm enjoying working through them and the anticipation and surprise of what you'll post next!. Keep fighting the good fight.....

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1378809011' post='2204803'] I found that walking bass lines were a good thing to read, the rhythm is usually quite simple, but when there is a change it throws you 'cos you've gotten used to the quarter notes. The important thing is that the lines usually move around a lot, you often get a lot of none diatonic notes so you have to move around and it can get tricky when you get a lot of accidentals suddenly appear. The key's are sometimes awkward too. [/quote] yep - I find the rhythms harder than the notes, obviously especially so with trick rhythmns and heavily syncopated stuff.....

I'm using them mate. Carry on putting them up please. Good work.

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1378498053' post='2201281'] I really must learn to read SN. But it's hard and I keep giving up [/quote] Practice, practice, practice my girl...

what is this YouTube you speak of??

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1378390632' post='2199569'] The best way I can sum up this book is that the concept is excellent, but the presentation/teaching aspect leaves a bit to be desired. [/quote] +1 to that. You do need to sort of 'understand' the way he is trying to present the information. It's all good stuff but not as intuitive to understand first off as it could be. I found it better to use this book alone while I was in the right mode of thinking to work through it. When I come back to the book it takes me a while to flip my brain into the way the material is presented. Good Book though.

Thanks for this - yes, please post more up.

Agreed Happy Jack.... We are in contact over it..

OK... I'll back out then, if you get it and decide to move it on drop me a line for first refusal would be appreciated??

[/quote] I was planning to bid on this, been after a 5er of these for a while. Anybody else on here planning on bidding?, I don't really want to be bidding against a fellow BC'er.

The 'de facto' passive bass for me is a (Fender) P bass.

For my money the biggest 'mod' you can make is your strings.....
