Bass Bootcamps

LOL. attention seeking? surely i could do better than this,if attention were in fact why i posted what i did.Interesting observation however.Also,what does "boot camp" have to do with bass guitar? I really dont get the military connection.Pac,i still havent figured out what you are trying to say? I was At vics first camp,so i have first hand knowledge as to what was actually taught there. As far as training goes,its really not like that at all.All this military jargon concerning Bsss camps is actually quite amusing.Vics camps are about people getting together to look past their differences to the common goal of learning more about themselves ,both as human beings and musicians.Im not bitter-i just dont like it when people i dont even know make assumptions as to my character.So if someone out there is truely interested in a Bass camp,i shall again reccomend Victor's Bass/Nature camp.The tution is very reasonable,the Teaching staff is awesome,and the food is great.One thing i did learn @ Vic's camp is not to be afraid to voice my opinion.Unlike pac and the kentucky guy,i have first hand knowledge of that which i speak.I am not merely speaking from an "arm chair' perspective.I was there.For me to say that i think Vic's camp is superior to veasleys camp really shouldnt come as a shock to anyone,save maybe Gerald.I make no apologies.So in closing,why not actually attend a bass camp-pac and kentucky- then you would be qualified to speak on this subject,insted of sounding off on an issue that you really dont know much ,if anything about.

ps- have you ever considered rogaine

What am I trying to say? Well, I know enough of Vic to know, like Chris, that he wouldn't put another musician, or teacher, down to make himself appear taller. Nor would he put down another's approach. What you have to say is not offensive, but how you're saying it is. You obviously haven't learned to "look past our differences" to learn more about anyone as a human being or a musician - and that's the point I was trying to make.

And no, I've not considered rogaine as my hair grows in quite full, thank you. I give you a clue - I cut my hair short, Sparky, I'm in the military.

I've also got to ask you - have you been to Veasly's camp? Because if you haven't, you're really not qualified to tell anyone that Vic's is better. Gerald Veasly might be the best teacher that ever came down the pike, but you wouldn't know because, despite what you "learned" at camp, you've closed your mind to any other possibility. Too bad, too, because there's lots of things to learn in the world, and lots of people to learn them from.
 
I attended WootCamp this year and it changed my life. WootCamp is not all about bass lessons, they do some but there is so much more to it than that...it is spiritual. You come away knowing a few things more than you did bass-wise, and having a much greater appreciation for the things and beings around you. There are animal tracking exercises, nature walks, etc. so if you think it's a week full of double-thumbing you may be a little disappointed. But it was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had.
