Double G or just G then chromatic below into Gb simples...

Jeff Berlin seems to do a lot of this, without distortion... I'll try and find an example to post

If you wish to buy any lessons as a Christmas present a gift card is available

The JayWalker has given the realness here...

Hi, My names Simon, I am a friendly, smiley solution for you. I run my own band as well as another couple of bits and bobs... But am always looking to help out a band in need of a well versed, competent dep. Large repertoire, Pop, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Rock, Country (I'll do and have done a bit of everything) Based in London but will travel nationwide. www.simonlovelock.com

Is this for a dep or permanent position?

Playing an Oxford University Summer Ball, we decided to put fairy lights around the drum kit and as I was stood on them during our performance I continued to get electric shocks in one number and blacking out! Huge surges down my arms too! Got through the number though, ha ha... Just didn't tread on them after that.

By the way, I can write and learn music from notation just not the actual specific skill of 'sight reading'

I don't read to any high level, but I do make a reasonable living playing bass... I'm not sure the art of sight reading is strictly 'essential' for today's modern pro... I wasn't classically trained and didn't reach any standardised music education (not even lessons) until I was 21 and by that time the amount of effort needed to be put in to be able to sight read didn't seem worth it. Now I'm in a professional environment and it seems only pit players read... It's the old classic though, if you can't read, ther's no reading gigs and if you can there's loads... Ears over reading, EARS really matter, like ALL the time as opposed to reading which is rarely...

Hi I'm Simon Lovelock a professional bass player and tutor in bass guitar/stand alone music theory. I am currently offering a free introductory hour lesson. --Click this video https://www.youtube....h?v=DN9LAeO9eHc to see the studio I teach in and why I teach.------- I offer unique tuition that will be tailored to you and my number one goal is that my students ENJOY themselves. So this is my favourite testimonial. "I enjoyed every single moment of every single lesson" - Priya Ragu (former student) -- Teaching Style -- I am passionate about my students and get so much out of seeing them progress into great players! Drawing from my own experience and research I have developed a unique teaching method that strives to draw out creativity and personal expression, whilst simultaneously providing a solid grounding in technique and fluency. This can include, but is not limited to: • Improvisation (Unlock your creativity and express yourself freely) • Repetoire (Learn your favourite tunes) • Ear Training (Learn to intuitively play whats in your head) • Harmony + Theory (Understand music as a language) • Technique - Finger Style, Slap, Muting, Tapping, Fretboard Knowledge (Build fluency) I teach from my home studio in South London because I truly believe it offers a superior environment for learning. In lessons at our disposal will be: • Professional Amplification (to hear exactly how YOU sound) • High Quality Recording (for tracking and reviewing progress) • Live Drums (I play drums YOU play bass) • Keyboard (For easier explanation of musical concepts) All this combines to create a unique experience for the student that is interesting, engaging, challenging but most of all FUN! Although I also can travel to you if necessary.

Hi everybody, I'm new to the site but glad my article has ignited the interest of people on here. I completely agree that the importance of what we practice is not as important as why we are practicing. I agree some of us spend thousands of hours practicing things of limited value. The R is important in that debate. Is your practice relevant to your musical goals. The idea of this approach is to make your process of evaluation of your practice more cohesive and clear in your own mind. This approach would not work if the R is not given the correct time and care. This approach is not business like. It is a goal setting approach that works in business or any area where there is a linear trajectory from where you are to where you want to be. I am applying some principles I learnt in CBT to musical practice. Next up will be an article on achieving musical life balance using a concept called A.C.E. I hope you've all checked my site and if you like my approach fell free to sign the newsletter. Take care.
