Resources for bass players of all skill levels

[lavaboi]

Hey Bassists, I put together a tool kit (pdf) with a couple of easy and popular bass riffs and necessary scale sheets to practice with. If you guys want that you can get it here

 comment if you want more! 
Get the toolbox at Bassbrains.co

Apologies if this something you are genuinely trying to get started but that page you link to screams to me 'click here for a free virus'.

'The ultimate bass players toolkit'? You'll need more than three popular riffs to get me to click on that.

No viruses here you can tell by the lock screen next to the url

I’m never keen on handing over my name and email address to access something unspecified. Why do you need the data and how will you be using it? GDPR means you need a valid reason to process such data, and explicit consent is probably required.

The big red ‘download’ link doesn’t fill me with confidence. The lock doesn’t confirm no viruses,  just that the connection is https (i.e. - encrypted).

check your email

Just an observation, feel free to ignore me. I think what you’re doing is brilliant, it’s obviously taken a lot of time and effort. I do think though that a brief welcome or introduction would make the site a lot better. Just something so that visitors landing there know who you are, what you’re doing etc. It’s all very anonymous, you want people to sign up and register, but they don’t know anything about you.

Perhaps also something so they can see what’s available?

Like I say, I seriously think it’s great what you’re doing, and good luck with the site, and your studies; I presume from your posts you’re studying music?

I signed up, received the email link to the 'toolkit' - I thought it was interesting.

I shall now learn 'Billie Jean' this evening (after I escape the horrors of the workface )

Thanks

Oi @Ricky 4000 !

What's all this about:

 

1. What's to 'learn'? There's only 4 notes in the riff. Its actually harder to not play it, than it is to play it!
2. Nobody plays MJ songs anymore, because of 🐒 👉 👌 🐵 😬.
3. Billie Jean = BJ.
4. BJ does not = Jazz.
5. 😬
