    Thanks, I’ll check this out.

    Did you know that someone can bite the skin on your elbow, and you won’t feel pain?! Get someone to bite your elbow....

    Learn the complete bass line from Dire Straits, Tunnel Of Love. This is another epic John Illsley bass line! The lesson comes with a free PDF of the entire bass line, and there is also a version with Tab. you can download that from the video description on YouTube. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/EbM5RtL9ugg

    To be honest, I started this thread to see if there was a need, and the interest in a reading music video course. It appears there definitely is! I have already started the making the course, and I’ll post any more details as I progress.

    Try speaking to theatre FOH guys, they read music, as do the technical crew who call the show. its a necessary skill for them.

    A triplet is normally an equal sub-division if 3 notes across 2 beats. It’s is easy to notate and communicate through written music. Written music is an excellent guide, but good players can still add feel and interpret the part how they wish. There is room for that when you read music. That’s where experience and a good ear really completes the picture. Of course though, some players might have a narrow field of music, and not need to read music.

    Hmmmm, not sure about this really. Written music can contain a lot of subtleties, and properly written music is far from crude.
  9. greghagger
    I agree, I have yet to find someone who reads music, say that it isn’t a worthy skill to have.
  10. greghagger
    You have got upon a very important point here. The ability to read music can save a lot of time.
  11. greghagger
    I would agree in so far as in certain situations, one skill might be more important than the other. But in my opinions they certainly compliment each other, and reading music is always going to add to one’s musicianship.
  12. greghagger
    Ah ok, yes I agree that some readers can’t ‘play by ear’. That skill should not be neglected either. I personally think that playing by ear and reading music are both necessary and complimentary skills. If you can do both, then you will have a lot of opportunities with music.
  13. greghagger
    But are they not using their ears to keep in tune and time?
  14. greghagger
    This is not to make out that it’s easy, but reading music is like a language. With a lot of practice, you don’t consciously think about all the points you listed above. It’s all automatic. I do appreciate that you need to understand this all at the beginning though As adults, we tend to question and analyse everything in the learning process, which might slow us down. Children thought, generally just accept information and soak it up. It might seem impossible when you look at everything that is involved with reading music, but regularly practicing it, starting with very simple music at first, is key. I will put more details of my course as it progresses.

    That beats Good Boys Deserve Fun Always. 😂 Good Burritos Don’t Fall Apart!

    Thanks @BigRedX and @T-Bay this is definitely something to incorporate into the video course. Useful to hear your experiences.

    Hey Everyone, As there is such interest in my Ska lesson, I have made a video lesson on Five Classic Reggae Bass Lines, that you might like. I’d love to know you get on with it. https://youtu.be/Stv9P0nugHI

    Check out my video lesson of five classic reggae bass lines. Reggae is such a great style where the bass features heavily, and is often the most recognised part of the song. I have picked tunes with some great grooves, and iconic bass lines. Follow the link below to view the full lesson, and pick up the free PDF (with Tab). Enjoy! https://youtu.be/Stv9P0nugHI

    I have made a short video review of my Harvest Leather Bass Guitar Gig Bag. If you are in the market for a serious leather soft case for your bass, then you have to check these cases out. They are excellent. This is the link to the full video review: https://youtu.be/eHJ_7b3GGCE

    Good choice, you won’t regret it!
  21. greghagger
    Thanks for sharing my review. I love my Boss Chorus. I can definitely recommend it.

    The Boys Are Back In Town by Thin Lizzy. Learn this awesome Phil Lynott Bass Line. In this video lesson, I break the bass line down into manageable section and take you through each one. Download the free PDF, with Tab, by clicking the link in the video description on YouTube. The full lesson can be viewed by clicking the link below: https://youtu.be/99n7zzNv_QU Enjoy!

    Couldn’t agree more, they are such fun to play, and I couldn’t believe the sound with I first played the Uke Bass through an amp! I imagine they are more enjoyable to play with Arthritis too.
  24. greghagger
    I’m with you now. Some great bass players you have listed there. I do have a Motown lesson planned, but a nice idea to showcase some of the bass players that sometimes get overlooked.
  25. greghagger
    Thanks Bob, glad you like the lesson. Good suggestion to cover some Rhythm n Blues. Were you meaning British Rhythm n Blues in particular? Any suggestions of artists you would like to see in that lesson? Cheers Greg
