Ari here, author of said books/course. Cool thread, all. Lots of great comments about learning and what it takes! It inspired me to a longer answer that I turned into a blog post for my blog. -> [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] <- I understand that additional guidance can be very helpful...

Solo Bass Night originated on TalkBass - Dave Grossman, Michael Manring, Jeff Schmidt ignited the spark and successfully ran five shows in the Bay Area. Josh Cohen and I are carrying forth the torch! Hope to see you there

Somewhat late to see this post, but here it is: A whole bunch of them, including exercises (these are just a few I did on notreble. In my courses I go through all this systematically from easy to hard): Talking Technique: One Finger Per Fret In The Lower Register Talking Technique: Got...

It is a one time payment or an installment plan that breaks down the same amount into 5 equal monthly payments. New material unlocks weekly and you can access the material indefinitely once it is unlocked for you. (Lifetime access) All you get in your email by the way is a reminder telling you...

It's certainly a matter of personal style, and it's most important to be yourself. I love playing with the camera, i'll stick my shoe in there or smile right into it (it depends a bit on the style you play, too. I might not do that at a jazz gig, but I will at a Rock gig). it's not doing...
