Richard R Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 This may be old news to many of you, but I hadn't realised it. Scott Devine has been running a long series of interviews with notable bass players. If you're an academy member then the videos are in there, but the audio recordings are available to anyone as podcasts at https://scottsbasslessons.com/podcast They are really interesting, not at all manic, and well worth a listen. I've never heard of some of these guys and girls, but then have gone on to get their albums. Others I have heard of like Mo Foster and Gail Ann Dorsey, but don't really know anything about them. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 SBL is an amazing resource and Scott is an amazing fella...met him a few times and he remembered who I was. I'm not a member of the Academy but enjoy the free stuff he posts on YT. More power to him👍👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misdee Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I wish that they'd had Scott's Bass Lessons back when I was starting out. All we had was Rockschool on BBC2 , half an hour once a week for a few weeks, two series. That was your lot. And no VCR to tape the first series. It was tough in those days to find out things that you can learn in minutes now. But yes, all the relentless marketing is pretty annoying.

funkypenguin Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 The course library at SBL is a unique resource in bass education and has given me insight and instruction that wouldn't have been available to me short of trying to take lessons with some of the players in question. A lot of Scotts free lessons are also a fantastic resource, especially if you go back through his channel to the tutorials he released prior to the YouTube algorithm changing (some of them continue to shape my practice and playing to this day). considering everything I've gained from SBL (the podcast among them!) im prepared to put up with being hit with marketing most times I go on YouTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thanks! I have seen the Gail Ann Dorsey interview on YouTube actually which is fabulous. What a lovely soul she is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I wouldn't be where I am today without Scott. I was with him very early on. He tried out a couple of ideas on me, I said no, he did them anyway and never went wrong. Which is why he is worth last time I looked north of a couple of million, and I'm ...not. And he is a nice chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Panzer Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I've been subscribed to his podcast for several months, they've been interesting yeah if a little sporadic. Some nice bits about the music 'biz' and being a session musician. Janek Gwizdala and his wife also do a bass podcast called Two Bass Hit for anyone looking for other bass related podcasts, more casual chat about playing for a living as they do than interviews though.
