A paraddiddle exercise for fingerstyle bass would require a certain pattern of crossing strings. See attached .PDF Starting on measure 21, I've included a paraddidle exercise for fingerstyle. Note the string crossing pattern. When I teach fingerstyle to a beginner electric bassist, I teach an...

In my teaching studio, I use two main tools. I use the full version of Guitar Pro to author my own lessons and my students use the app version to view the lessons on a mobile device. I know that tech turns off a certain percentage of the population but I really haven't had a student start...

To clarify, do you need someone to come into your house for teaching? I can't help but notice you are 47.3 miles from Nashville... certainly a commute but, dang, I'd drive to Nashville.

Requirement: play as efficiently as possible. The rules will be affected by the scale length of the instrument, the individual's hand size, the level of developed dexterity, and the musical idea being played. Imagine playing the melody to Donna Lee on an upright and playing the bass line to...

Most TAB will be standard tuning - EADG . Standard musical notation doesn't have a specific tuning per say but how a bass is tuned really has an effect on how you play a song. The strings of the bass are tuned so each string is a fourth apart. The fourth is a musical interval (difference in...

Good work on starting with a metronome. Playing from the 3rd fret to the 12th fret on one string would require a lot of shifting. I have my students work on something like that when doing ear training, specifically humming half steps, not beginning fingerstyle exercises. A good beginner...

If your idea of musical notation would look something like this: var canvas = $("div.two div.b canvas")[0]; var renderer = new Vex.Flow.Renderer(canvas, Vex.Flow.Renderer.Backends.CANVAS); var ctx = renderer.getContext(); var stave = new Vex.Flow.Stave(10, 0, 500); // Add a treble clef...

I find it easier to say less stupid poopie if I force myself to put my real name on said stupid poopie.

I'm sure every teacher would have their own list of materials to prepare for lessons. For example: http://www.russrodgersbassguitar.com/wp/online-bass-lessons/ Computer with high speed internet (A hardline ethernet connection works the best), Also use a usb hub if your computer does not have...

To better answer your question, I'll need some more input from you. Give me three specific songs you are looking for and tell me if you use a computer or a tablet/smart phone for practicing. I will post a video.
