[/quote] Funnily enough I have been attempting sone Bach recently. I came accross a book in a music shop 'Bach for Bass' . There are liads of pieces all written out on bass clef. Very tricky! They all go in unexpected places and they are rekentless. You don't get a breather during the guitar solo! So can I join your seance, please?

The trouble with them Ouija Boards is everyone seems obsessed with upgrades. There's nothing wrong with the BBOT* in my humble opinion. *bent bit of table.

england smith Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Bach.. Love it!! I would like to learn from Rocco Prestia, he did change the way bass is played. Learn that style what you already know and create your own style.. At least in my head that's how I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
