Hi everyone,
I feel I'm quite a good bass player, especially for what I normally play. (rock/experimental metal type stuff)
I want to step up my playing to sort of tapping, fast licks, clever playing, solo standard basically. I've sort of dabbled with bits of Jaco, marcus miller and one or two wooten songs. I'm looking for any other artists or more specifically good solid albums of theirs that I can try and work through. Especially artists were sheet music/tab is readily available. I've just ordered a Bill Dickens book/cd if anyone can recommend any tuition aids that might help me too?
Thanks a lot

Also, if you really want to step to some challenging stuff check out Frank Zappa's: "Roxy and Elsewhere" or "You can't do that on stage anymore Vol. 2/ The Helsinki Concert". It's hard to believe that human beings could actually perform such complex music without the assistance of studio magic  ... |

Hard to believe that he went on to play 8 to the bar in Missing Persons then went on to record new age music, but to me that's a sign of class to be able to hold yourself back for the good of the music. If he had played like he did with Zappa in Missing Persons, they wouldn't have had any hits. |

Yes - Fragile
Victor Wooten - A show of hands
Incubus - Fungus Amongous
Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E
Primus - Sailing the seas of cheese
Tool -Anything, really. 10,000 days and Aenima are my personal favorites
Maybe some of those were 'no ****, sherlock' reccomendations, but if you havn't heard any of em I'd reccomend em. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
