Hi Room , Was wondering if anyone had experience with a VW UP or VW POLO ( assume new model) and a double bass , is it easy to fit 2 people and a bass into one of these ? Thanks!

Thanks Ric! Very helpful

Thanks Chris, I got a lot from your other videos , will have to check that one out. Any other arpeggio exercises you're working ok? Best Regards

What's your scales and arpeggio workout Chris ?!

I borrowed this 70 watt amp last night and was really impressed with it, so pokey and warm. I've been looking and it looks as though they've stopped making them. Any suggestions on what would be similar? I.e cheap and good!

On a recent recording I made it became glaringly obvious (to me) that my phrases are way too short , like 2bars short. This has been the elephant in my room for too long. I have always prioritized feel, tuning and learning tunes - tools to help you get gigs. Now I've got to sort out my blowing...
