Guest Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 What, you mean like “3 fretless fails I see everyone do”, followed by step one (Intonation), and a demo showing how it should be, where half the notes are out of tune 😃

I may have extrapolated from him saying that he always plays in passive mode. I'm not sure actually. I don't watch that many of his YouTube vids and only watched this one as it was mentioned here. I did watch his top 10 basses though, plenty of active only basses on that list. Also his 2 signature basses are both active, seems strange if you never play active! 1
la bam Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Ive never had a lesson in my life. Completely self tought. I used to learn songs using the "hit every note on every string until it sounds right, then remember it, and move on to the next note" method. I burned tapes out by continually rewinding and playing songs using the above method to learn them. If i wanted to learn the official tab to a song, a book from the local music shop would cost around £20. Which when i was younger that was a substantial outlay - i got around £5 a week spending money. The song i wanted was always in the same book as 10 i didnt want to! (remember that!). There was no internet to get sheet music from, or to source any tab, tutors where very expensive (and tought the same old same old rubbish), there was no method of getting hold of backing tracks without bass on to play along to - AND now i come to remember there was no way of getting a song to learn unless you bought it! So, all in all, ANY lessons online - given the millions out there - has to be good value in comparison!

All the content I've seen is jazz or fusion based and is just too polite for me and much too clean. However, my indifference to the genre probably has a lot to do with this viewpoint. Learn all the things about 'music' you can, then apply them to your chosen genre through the lens of 'you', simple as that. Thinking that you should or can only learn specific things within the genre you like is only going to stunt your musical growth. Si 1

I was speaking to the team about her yesterday saying we need to get something set up. Joe Dart's at the top of the list at the mo though, just trying to figure some stuff out around that. Was supposed to be hooking up in LA a few weeks back but stuff didn't line up - I will make sure it does though. For me, Carol is at the top of that list too... Also, someone on here mentioned Pino... he's defo on the list of peeps I wanna land, it's a little complex because of his schedule and a few other moving parts. He's also a private dude too, so I'll have to do some serious sweet talking. 6 2
