truebassman Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I've been self-teaching for a while and dipping into YouTube now and again but there is so much stuff out there (good and bad). Does anyone know/seen any good examples showing techniques or tracks to practice for beginners ? I know it sounds like I'm being to lazy to search - I am !! Any suggestions ? Punk/funk/rock anything really that you think would be useful rather than just some dude 'showing off' Muchas gracias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This MarloweDK chap doesn't seem too bad a player either Plenty of good funky/soul stuff here with some James Brown to make me FEEL GOOD.

It is not in the [i]Republic of Ireland[/i], which is an independent nation. My Irish ancestry gets pedantic about this stuff so please excuse me. Dave Marks' walking bass stuff is fantastic and for me it explains the concept in way that is much easier to grasp than say, Ed Friedland or Gary Willis. Dave's site says there's a lot of new content on the way soon so keep an eye on it. Edited October 20, 2008 by Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
