Thanks Bill!

Thanks Bill!

Hey Jim! Sorry for the delay. Been away for a few. Thanks for checking out the vids and letting me know how they're helping! Would love to hear any feedback or requests for future tutorials. Mike

I'm here! Thanks for the shout out and the push to get another Planetshakers cover out! Actually looking at doing This Is Our Time for June 8th. Any other suggestions?

I know this is a little late, but thanks for the shout out! Mike

So funny you wrote that in your comment! I was thinking that the past couple days and just removed the balloons and reposted. The balloons were pretty annoying for me as well:-). Thanks for the great feedback! I agree with the zoom idea as well, but am planning on doing a more detailed...

Hey Guys, I believe I have the licks on YYZ worked out and posted a cover vid for anyone interested. Many of the cover vids I've seen for this song don't sound like accurate transcriptions. I know I might be in the same place with mine, but feel I'm at least 90% on. Happy to do a detailed...

Thanks Allen. Love helping when I can!

Sorry about that! You should be good to view now. Mike

Hey, see if this quick vid helps with that lick at 4:10. Hoping the bass is loud enough.

Thought I'd chime in to see how your doing with your pursuit. I specialize in helping worship bassists and would be happy to have a Skype chat with you to give you some ideas how you might want to pursue working with your church or another PW team. skype id is mcbrandenstein. Shoot me a...

Thanks for this post! I'm always seeking out better ways to learn tunes and help my students with their learning. Looking forward to working through this process.

Thank you for posting this helpful article. I'm beginning to work the Bach Cello Suites with my bass students and was happy to find this. Welcome to TalkBass! Mike

Good morning, all! I'm playing a one time classic rock show later this week and was able to achieve a pretty good Geddy Lee sound with Garage Band. I don't have any pedals for doing this live so wondered if GB would work with my M-Audio interface and live rig. Thoughts? Experiences? Thanks...

Well, it seems to be there now. Perhaps there are some forums you can't create new posts/threads? Still wondering about that but found the "new thread" button at other forums.

I feel stupid asking this question, but how the heck do I start a new post? I can reply to posts but have no idea how to start a brand new one. Nothing in the Help section (not very helpful). Thanks! Mike

Sorry to be off topic, but I'm new here and am trying to figure out how to start a new discussion! I know it's probably staring me right in the face but I'm getting frustrated trying to figure this out. Giving up! Any help will be appreciated:-). Thanks! Mike

Way to persevere! Love that you're doing this and still growing. Thanks for the inspiration! Mike

Working on tutorial for Salvation is Here bass solo - forearm workout!

Hey man! I'm pretty new myself. Welcome!

Hey WashburnAB95 (can I call you Wash?:), I'm sorry if I came off a little strong on your comment. I was being sincere when I said I didn't believe you were being egotistical. But, your comment simply set off some things in me from my past that I wanted to address. I hope it's ok for this...

Good morning all! Question: In your opinion what worship songs, current or older, involve the coolest or most challenging bass lines? Thanks!

Agreed with all of the above. The only thing I would add is to find a teacher that is strong on technique. Been playing for 35 years and learned much from other musicians and instructors, but never had a good teacher for technique. When I began taking cello lessons a few years ago there was...

Playing Bass for Chesterfield Presbyterian Church this week, May 18th

Agreed! However, I do get concerned when we say we have little, or no ego in our playing. The statement itself can come off a little egotistical:) as saying that you're more humble than the others (WashburnAB95, I don't believe that's what you meant). I say that respectfully, as one who used...

Hey Danny, I would encourage you to, if you haven't already, get desperate and find some alternative ways to bring in the funds, cut lawns, extra hours, gigs, whatever you can do. I'm saying this because I sold my Sadowsky 5 String (my dream bass) about 15 years ago and long to have it back...

Hey Man, I'm new here as well. Although I don't the depth of your experience, musical preferences, or ability, it sounds like you're having a difficult time "saying" what you want to say with your bass. I've experienced that much in my 35 years of playing and found that my best solution came...
