Thanks for getting in touch Jon. Jon has mentioned you can now get his books cheaper from his own site: www.JonLiebman.com. Plus several other cool products just for bass players!

Hi all, To make life easier for my students I have recently included some free bass lesson tracks on my website. I thought I might as well share these with you all on BassChat. They are for the Funk Fusion Book (see att). by Jon Liebman. The book is great as it is well structured and is comprehensive as it covers scales, techniques and hand strength exercises, plus of course some great Funk licks. [u]The only drawbacks are[/u]: > Chapter 4 (Techniques) has no recorded tracks on the CD that comes with the book. Fix: The tracks are on my website. If you need some support with these drop me a line. > Chapter 4 & 5 go on a bit with tons of licks Fix: I have produced a list of 'highlight' licks for both the chapters. If you go ahead and buy the book, just drop me an email and I will send you the list. If any of you feel you have reached a plateau in your playing and are tempted to raise your playing to the next level in the New Year I would seriously recommend the book. Even if you are not an avid Funk fan the book is comprehensive and will improve your playing no matter what style you play. More info is on my website at: [url="http://www.bassguitarlesson.co.uk/how_to_play_bass_guitar_lessons_resources.html"]www.bassguitarlesson.co.uk[/url] I hope you enjoy learning from the licks All the best Nick

Sean has just bought a Warmoth body & Gotoh bridge off me. He has been an excellent buyer. Very quick payment and great comms. Would recommend him to everyone else. Thanks Sean

Hi Ray, Thanks for your enquiry. To be honest as long as the student has enough determination bad habits can be overcome. It can be a bit frustrating at first where your technique is changed and you are in the 'transition period'. Although the changes make your technique easier in the long term it can initially feel like you are taking a step back. Many changes feel unnatural at first until they have had time to settle in. Once you have got through this stage though you are laughing. Think of it like learning to drive, again. At first you have to think about a lot of things at once but eventually it all becomes automatic. Hope this helps Nick [quote name='rayfw' post='300348' date='Oct 6 2008, 11:07 AM']Hi Nick, I've been considering lessons for some time now but as a self taught player (been playing on and off for 20 years) I'm a bit concerned that my bad habits will make lessons a very difficult experience for me and my tutor. Do you have any thoughts on teaching players like me? Cheers, Ray[/quote]

Wooks bought a metronome from me. Smooth transaction, recommended buyer! Cheers, Nick
