    Reading Music: Counting, or "feeling" the rhythm?

    You answered very well. It can't be a bad thing but deciphering totally new stuff is important too. And I love to do that, I just don't want to learn a new pattern in a wrong way. It would be terrible.

    Reading Music: Counting, or "feeling" the rhythm?

    Hi everyone ! Sorry if it's been said in a way I didn't understand. Do you think it's a good thing to learn new rhythm patterns with music that you already know how it must sound? Or just to maintain some acquired skills ? Or is it to easy and not worth the time ?

    Jeff Berlin Bass Education Packages

    I will definitly grab this one on day 1. I'm still far from being a good reader but why not add this book to my journey. And I'm sure it's purely musical and not a bunch of formulas like 1-3-1-a.

    Overlooked and underrated YT sources

    You've probably seen this guy before as he made a serie of cool videos 9 years ago. Dale Titus is back and his new channel is very good. https://www.youtube.com/c/EverythingBass/videos

    Tony Grey's Vertical fingering book

    Ok, I bought the book. And yes, it's everything we said above. Tony explains his concept and how he came up with it. How to use the diagrams and why it's important. The book doesn't contain any exercice, it doesn't tell you what to play but how to play. As you expected Kevin, it's a real...

    Tony Grey's Vertical fingering book

    Thank you for your input. I will probably buy the book one day. I'm totally into this "mastering the fretboard in depth" kind of stuff. I already work on Gary Willis and Todd Johnson's concept and I love it, but I want to see everything.

    Tony Grey's Vertical fingering book

    Hi everyone ! I'm curious about this book. I didn't find any sample or a single review of the book. I know Tony Grey is a great player and teacher and I'm sure the book is more than scale patterns in all 12 keys. If someone could tell me more, it would be great.

    Jeff Berlin Bass Education Packages

    Yes, I fully understand and I will follow your advice. I didn't mean to skip any step and I will certainly revisit a lot these lessons. I just feel packages 1 and 2 are the "reading ones" and 3, 4 and 5 are more vocabulary oriented.

    Jeff Berlin Bass Education Packages

    Hi everyone! I'm a longtime guitar player, non-reader but with a pretty good knowledge of the neck and music theory. About 18 months ago, I fell in love with your beautiful instrument and decided to become not just a guitarist who plays bass but a real bassist. And a reader. I purchased the 5...

    Hi from a former guitar player.

    Hello everyone ! I have been playing guitar in small bands for the past 30 years (I'm 46). Never been the best player but it was a lot of fun. My last band fell apart about 3 years ago and the last thing I wanted was to find another band and play guitar. After a while without playing any music...
