Sorry for bumping an old thread, but i was thinking about buying these. just wanted to know if you are all still using the DVDs and if it has made a difference to your playing?

Hi, I've just started loading some licks up on soundcloud for you to transcribe. The licks are all in a good register for the bass. I've started with major licks in 12 key but over the next couple of days i'll add more to it so there will be minor, dominant, m7b5 and ii-v licks extra. Let me...

Hi Everyone, I've been a bit sick over the last couple days and bored at home so decided that I i'd make some kind of soloing play alongs to muck around with. They are short phrases over ii-v's or similar and are mostly based around chord tones and in a good register on the bass and are nice and...

Kind of related but is an app available to practice sight reading on the iPad like this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=renegrothmann.primavista&hl=en

Kindle edition then?

Make sure you let us know what you think when you've had a chance to look through it.

in the most basic way you just keep stacking thirds on top of you chords so cmaj7 is CEGB, if you keep adding thirds you get the extensions cmaj9 = CEGBD, Cmaj11 = CEGBDF, Cmaj13 = CEGBDFA. It's also interesting when you alter the upper extensions ie #11 on a major chord, a b9 on a minor...

Jeff Berlin has a great book you can read it here: A Comprehensive Chord Tone System For Mastering The Bass - Jeff Berlin

Ok, So let me start by saying that I don't buy into these thing and i know there is no quick solutions to improve my playing but has anyone seen this? Invalid Link Removed The reason why i ask is that its written by David Motto, i have his reading books and i think they are great. So i'd be...

Yip. BIAB songs sound clumpy though. If you have an ipod touch or an iphone i'd recommend ireal band. The computers version only works on Mac though.

Hi Ant, i really enjoy your outlook on teaching it makes a lot of sense! And you playing just speaks for itself. Could you shed some light on what your curriculum involves for reading rhythms? This is where I really struggle. Thanks for you help!

Get any of the following Miles Davis albums Walkin/steaming'/cookin/relaxin' and transcribe the whole album both the walking and the solo's. When you are transcribing the solo before you even start playing it on the bass make sure you can sing the whole solo - I use logic and burn a copy...

if you want to play jazz learn how all the greats did, Transcribe, start playing with a few other people and listen to lots of jazz - it's hard work and you'll get frustrated but this is the secret to becoming a great jazz player. You'll learn more in 6 mnths of doing this than you would from...

Sounds great, can't wait to see it. Personal i think that an online version is much better than a DVD.

I wasn’t to sure where to put this if it’s in the wrong place please move it to the correct forum mods! I’m a big fan of the yardstick rhythm exercise/tool that Anthony Wellington teaches in the victor Wooten DVD: Anthony Wellington teaches rhythm using the rhythm yardstick. - YouTube I...

That's cool and i don't necessarily disagree, i don't understand how it relates to the OP.

he needs to listen to more jazz and explain how it can be felt in a 12/8 time.

Transcribe, Transcribe, Transcribe.

Off topic sorry, but have you seen his DVDs?

Unfortunate typo?!?

Lots of good info here! Are you are member of the site? Are the rest of the lessons similar to the free ones?

I'm no expert, but sounds like you need to know the progression better and work on being able to see the harmony notes on the fretboard better so practice just playing the chord tones then start adding in the 9th and chromatic approaches. Check out...

Yeah i want some kind of muting device that i can turn on and off I was going to talk to some local engineers types to see if they could make something for me

I've emailed the guy selling the bass mutes at least half a dozen times and never heard back from him so you might be out of luck there.

Can you give an example of the sound you want to get?

Yeah top line is chords.

If you are buying open back tuners you can quite often buy right handed ones dismantle and reassemble the stems up the other way making them left handed... Hope that makes sense.

I've emailed him a few times and haven't heard anything back, I'm going to look at making one myself I think unless one comes up for sale

Can you download it as a pdf?

What kind of stuff do you need to unlearn?

I really want one of those bass mutes too! I've email the guy a number of times but haven't heard back. does anyone else sell these?

Here you go... Right here on Talk bass

Thanks for the info everyone, They do have a bass at the local uni that i have had a play around with occasionally and it feels much more natural to play left handed. Believe me i wish that it was easier to play right handed. I guess my main concern is that after 6 months i decide tat upright...

Have you tried to change the battery? my TRB makes a similar noise but not as loud when the battery is going flat.

Hi, I'm new here... so please take it easy on me if this is a silly question. I'm an electric player who has really wanted to learn upright for a long time, but I have a few issues, I'm in New Zealand and i'm left handed. I've talked to a few players & Sellers round here they have advised...
