Major pentatonic Minor pentatonic The StudyBass descriptions are relatively thorough and the exercises connected with the lessons give you a good feel for using the scale.

I started trying to near the end of practice when we ran through the Fee song for the third time. I'm okay with a pick, but I've definitely logged more time playing fingerstyle, so I'll just probably just tough it out. I've never played so much music in one day. It's my fretting hand that...

This is our setlist for tonight. I'm really excited, especially about opening with the Fee song. It's one of the longest set lists I've ever had to play though. I'm doing a Green Day cover with some friends, so I practiced that with them for an hour and a half on Sunday afternoon and then went...

You're probably looking for something more legitimate than this, but for my personal use, I have a Invalid Link Removed that just jacks into my ipod. I set it out it in the center of the room before practice and set it to record through practice. The quality is surprisingly good and it saves in...

This is a fantastic resource. Thanks!

We've got a very short, but Hillsong heavy setlist for this Tuesday night, which is pretty awesome for me and the drummer. I'm really excited, even though I fully expect to lose feeling in my plucking fingers by the end of the night. :bassist: For His glory. Happy Day - Tim Hughes Stronger -...

I've been playing in a worship band for a couple of weeks now. I came in with a passing familiarity with all the notes around the 3rd, 7th, and 12th frets and a plan to primarily play my own bass lines of roots, 3rds, and 5ths until I got the hang of playing with a full band. I'm feeling pretty...

I am now officially on the biweekly rotation for Tuesday night worship! It's fantastic. I'm working with some great musicians and they're pushing me every week to better myself as a musician and to try tougher things. I'm still primarily playing roots and 5ths and walking between notes where...

Here's our set list for Tueday: Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Beautiful the Blood - Fee Before the throne of God above - Shane and Shane We had practice for two hours yesterday. It was my first time playing with a real band and I think it went...

I second this suggestion! I've been working through this book for two weeks and I already have a very practical working knowledge of scales, intervals, and triads. It's feels a little ridiculous carrying it around and reading it in public because it looks like it was written for an elementary...

Matt Papa has been writing some good stuff on CCM. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], and [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. It's worth a read through for anyone organizing worship sets.

I got my bass about a year ago and used a couple books to build myself a good foundation to work from. I started off with and worked through StudyBass.com. It's definitely your best all resource. For music theory, I bought Edly's Music Theory For Practical People - Third Edition. It kind of...

One bass and one acoustic guitar that desperately needs upgrading. I'm looking into acoustic-electrics, but I keep using my hobby money on bass gear.

This is actually super useful. A lot of theory just clicked in my head. Thanks.

God did it! I auditioned last week and just got the call from the worship leader that I'm in starting next week. It was definitely a humbling experience. I played Your Love Never Fails through once in Gm and then was asked to transpose it on the fly to A. I felt a little bit dumb when I tried to...
