    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 :)

    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,

    SOLD - Warmoth Ebony Fretless Jazz Neck

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='267201' date='Aug 21 2008, 05:02 PM']It might be worth considering that you were potentially going to sell that via eBay for £150 [b]MINUS[/b] your eBay & PayPal fees :)

    £225 might be a better deal than your original price but I would say that you need to be realistic with some of the offers you get in light of what you [u]could[/u] have ended up with... it's your item and your call though. Good luck.[/quote]

    Ye, you're quite right. I hoped to get some bidding activity by lowering the starting price, but I guess the pitfall can be folks just sitting back!
    After what I paid for the neck I'm not in that much of a rush to sell it. My students have noticed it and drooled over it in my studio.

    I'm just gutted the bass didn't work for me. On paper it was perfect but for my technique and style it just wasn't to be.

    C'est la vie!
