ChunkyMunky Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Hello, everyone! A random idea but would anyone be interested in a study group amongst us for bass related stuff to be done online? Drop me a message if you're interested. I'm a keen geek who's nuts about self improvement. Would love to hear back from others. Quote
alyctes Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Possibly. I need to improve my playing, my reading, etc., and a group to do it would be good. However, I am a rotten player and nowhere near either of you gentlemen, so I am a little unsure... Quote
Grangur Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I've been involved in running one of these on SBL Academy. So I'd be happy to help get it started. In the past I've done it online using Google Hangouts. Hangouts has some advantages over Skype for the group conferencing. How you need to do it is: 1 - Everyone make sure you have a computer, web-cam and mic. 2 - Agree a time and date we can all get online. 3 - Everyone join Google+, of you don't belong already. 4 - All link on Google+ to someone who'll send the invites out. If you'd like me to kick it off, please link to me : [color=#A4A4A4][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=2] [/size][/font][/color][url=""]https://plus.google.com/+RichardBower88/[/url] My work demands can be a bit heavy, so my getting online at the right time can be difficult. But, as I've said, I'd be happy to help you with the setting up and, if I can make it I'll hang out as much as I can. Quote
zbd1960 Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 This sounds interesting. I don't have any problems reading music, but I'm a rank novice at playing bass Quote
Ashweb Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 I'd definitely be interested - you all know what level I play at! Very keen to improve and it'll be good to have other points of view from my regular lessons. I think I've linked to Grangur above ok - let me know if I need to do anything else. Quote

[/quote] Ahhh.... so it's you!? Ok. I'd guessed it was someone from SBL Academy. I'm happy to help get it together, but please can you PM me when you link to me in Google? Let's aim for doing a first meet up online on Wednesday week; 13th April. Nobody here's superstitious are they? Edited April 10, 2016 by Grangur Quote

I won't be able to make this Wednesday due to work commitments; other Wednesdays should be OK in future. Other than that, my only regular commitment during the week is on Tuesday evenings when I go for my regular bass lesson. Does anyone have a suggestion for the first topic? Quote
Grangur Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Does anyone else have any other comments about meeting on Wednesdays? Also, if we're going to schedule these, once a month or once a fortnight? Quote
Ashweb Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 This seems to have gone a bit quiet - Anyone up for next Wednesday (20-04)? Quote
