Anthony - I've seen you reference from time to time the idea of someone being "serious" about bass and music. Since serious can mean different things to different people I wanted to ask what criteria you use to evaluate whether someone is "serious"?

Hey Bassman - like you, I'm a big fan of Ant's forum here, I also really like his YouTube channel and I find all those very valuable and have watched them repeatedly. One of the things I really admire about Anthony is how generous he is with his time and knowledge. When he says call him and...

I'd add another endorsement for Anthony as a teacher. I think it's abundantly clear that he has a wealth of knowledge, but that alone isn't enough to be a great teacher. My wife is a teacher and I remember once when I was trying to show her how to do something she explained to me that teaching...

I was going back and rereading this thread and this comment caught my eye. It reminded me of what I told folks about JD after getting back from camp last year which was basically, "and then this dude started playing his mic stand!!

Yes, the blindfold definitely came in handy! :D What else to say, it was just a completely awesome experience. The chance to closely interact with so many great musicians was a true thrill. Beyond that though, I was so impressed with the genuine humility and generosity of spirit that...

Thank you both - I will be happy to report back next week.

Is it a tradition to revive old Wooten Camp threads? I've been combing through the forums reading threads about the camps as I am leaving tomorrow morning to attend the Spirit of Music Camp. The above quote really spoke to me especially the part I highlighted in italics. Here's why: I...

Jeff and Ross - So glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience. I'm anxiously awaiting the release of next years schedule as I hope to go camping myself. In the coming days would it be possible to get a detailed trip report on your experience? I'd like the chance for a little vicarious...

I'm sorry but how is it that Invalid Link Removed has yet to enter the conversation?

I really enjoyed your video Scott, not just for the content of this video, but because it led me to your site and other videos. I'm really enjoying them all.

OK, I feel like I have found my people! Glad to know I'm not the only one who finds my playing firmly "rooted" in well ... in roots! I've been playing for about 10-11 years but up till very recently all of that playing has been on my own (very rarely) or one on one time with my teacher. A...

Let me just echo everyone's thanks for your involvement in this DVD. I got a copy last week for my birthday and I've watched a bit every day. It's already opened my eyes quite a bit. For example, I now know that if I want to mail a package to the Groove, I'll find the address in ees and the ahs.

Greetings to everyone here at TalkBass. I stumbled upon the community in the last couple of weeks and am excited to be involved and exploring what I can learn here. So, by way of introduction I live in Las Vegas and am 2 days shy of my 47th birthday. I suppose the best way to describe my...
