Hey folks! It's me - back from the dead!! I can only apologise for the feelings of frustration, feeling let down and wondering, "have I been ripped off?" I never intended to cause any upset, and certainly not to deceive anyone. I'm highly embarrassed about the way things panned out last year...

I just finished making the 2nd Episode of "How To Piccolo Bass". This lesson looks at getting a beautiful tone AND how to start improvising. Hope you enjoy it... Scott.

This lesson dives head-on into improvisation on the bass guitar! Even if you've never tried before, this lesson will hopefully get your creative juices flowing.

GOLDEN OLDIES ⏳ My first ever bass tutorial video - shot way back in 2011...

Hi again! This 12 Bar blues bass lesson is a great staring point if you've never tried using double stops before. Double stops are a really fun and colourful way to add some pizzazz and wow-factor to your bass lines. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching, Scott.

Good evening all - WOW thanks for all the input here, amazing!! Also great to see that it's all been generally friendly and conversational which is where it's at. Quickly let me make clear (I think most who watched all the video will know this) that I'm in awe/full support of anyone learning to...

It's an age old question that causes fuses to blow at each end of the spectrum, but in reality is the answer really black and white? Be sure to watch the video to the end - I'd love to know your own experience and how it related to what I talk about in the video...

Hi! Here's one from last year just before the curls came off lol. It's a 70s funk/disco style line broken down note by note. Hope you enjoy it, Scott.

Good evenin' all - I haven't been here for a while lol. I've gotten really serious about making bass tutorials again and hopefully some of them will be useful to fellow Talk-Bassers. Here's the one I just uploaded... In this lesson I break down Louis Johnson's slap bass solo section from the...

Hi all - I've not posted on here for a LONG time but things are changing round a lot for me currently so hoping to be WAY more active again moving forwards... Speaking of which, I've just finished uploading my first ever solo release video... The video for "Trust In Me" is now finished and...

New video!!! Just for fun here's a rough'n'ready video of my version of Level 42's "Mr Pink". Features PICCOLO BASS along with standard tuned bass.

Latest edition to the Slap Bass Lick Library - Lick 5! These lessons aren't aimed at teaching how to play slap bass (that's covered in my Slap Bassics series here - Slap Bassics) but rather to help build your slap-bass vocabulary. This one's tricky to get your fingers around at first, but...

That's great to hear - glad to help! :-)
