Hey all,

I am currently working my way through the Teach Me Bass Guitar Interactive Video Course and have started a blog to share my experience with it as well as to keep me motivated. If anyone is at all interested please check it out and drop me a comment.

Why you should care: If you're interesting in purchasing/using Roy Vogt "Teach Me Bass Guitar", it's a great idea. It's bassically an extend review.

Thank you Stumbo and thanks for the links, I have already started checking them out.

The purpose of my blog is two fold, one to keep myself motivated, and two to share my experience with other's who may be thinking of using the course. I know I always look to the net for reviews and such before purchasing almost anything and thought I would give back to the community. If you aren't interested, don't read it.

Cheers

You should send a PM to Ray and tell him about it too. He posts on these forums.

Gee buddy, not sure what your case is but this forum is about sharing info. Ignore the threads you're not interested in - but surely don't bash anyone about them! Thanks for sharing, stantonl!

Hi,
Just wanted to drop a line and let you know I'm following along too. I've already copped some things I want to do on the later editions and later products. I appreciate what you're doing-thanks!

Stantonl, thanks for doing this. I heard about the course on the Eden forum and it looks very interesting. Sorry for a dumb question, but is there a way to be automatically notified when your blog gets updated?

Hello Slejhamer, you can click on the link in the right column of my blog page that says "Follow" to be notified of updates. At least I think that should do it

Thanks for reading!

Greetings! Any updates worth sharing? I'm curious to hear what you have to say about the course.

I'm in the process of finding a bass mentor, but thought about working through this first if it is as good as the hype on their page. Please let us know!

Hello. I just recently posted Lesson 4 and am still practicing the concepts learned in said chapter. I am truly enjoying the course and have found that it is already starting to become a bit challenging, which is a good thing in my opinion! I especially like the fact that I can work on this at my own pace, I had considered finding a mentor prior to starting the course but decided against it as that my schedule is all over the place due to work and family commitments. As stated, my main purpose for my blog is to keep me motivated and moving forward and so far it seems to be working for me. I am glad that some of you have taken the time to read my blog and hope that you will continue to do so. I would also be happy to answer any specific questions anyone might have about the course.

Keep it up! As a prospective bass player, it's been interesting.

Well I guess the "follow" thing only works for bloggers and twitterers, as I didn't get an email notice of the update.

Guess I'll have to do it the old fashioned way - bookmark and check the site periodically.

Good review of lesson 4, by the way. Nice to see an experienced player like yourself being challenged already.

Thanks for posting about this. I had been thinking about purchasing this series and now that I have read through your blog it seems like it will be very useful.
