    Thanks for this i have started dabbling a bit with Theory i have a understanding of the Modes when in Major Key....but clueless with the Minor Scales (Natural, Melodic and Harmonic) even though i have been playing years....it's definitely something i need to address.

    Hi Mark try Youtube i'm sure there'll be plenty of tuition videos on there....slap bass/rockabilly style, there's a Upright/Double Bass section right here on the Forum i'm sure there might be some reference to above style if you scroll down the pages but a lot is Jazz/Walking Bass...good luck.

    I worked at a Titanium Dioxide Pigment Company for many years it's a white powder used in Paint, Plastic, Toothpaste ect and i'm sure the embedded pigment on my skin and hands helped in Relic'ing my Norman Acoustic Guitar, all along the neck it's worn down to the wood and the shoulder of the body ect....looks great but i must say it's been with me for almost 20 years the only instrument i would never part with....looks great, sounds great and played regularly.

    Absolutely not...it was early mid 70s....recorders, violins, triangles lol.....not cool for an aspiring young Rocker into Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, UFO...i hated our music teacher he was a short fat Ginger haired and goatee bearded pompous git and i was thrown out of many a lesson for refusing to learn such girly instruments lol

    Nice one Jass best of luck with the course and thanks for the comment, only just started first lesson on Penta Positional Chord Studies but a few light bulb moments already.

    Just started the course, been in a musical rut for awhile now and wanted to challenge and push myself and stay focused on something....2 years of hardwork ahead....I have looked at several Academy Sites and Bass Tutorial Sites and most do a lot of meaningless lessons and rely on guest Bassist seminars to boost there ratings....I want one to one Theory and Musical content and Joe seems to be the man for Bass Education no bullxxxx, hope i'm right and it turns out a sound investment, wasn't cheap nearly £500 but for 2 years of weekly emailed lessons plus access to Joe's Lesson Lounge with over 70 lessons if you break it down it's a great investment and I needed a focus and want to get into Theory in a hope that I can maybe teach others in the future....fingers crossed and here's hoping I achieve my ambition.

  22. thebigyin

  23. thebigyin
    Wish I had your talent I have always struggled a bit with some stuff especially busy lines but I plug away and try my best.
  24. thebigyin
    Lol I don't doubt your ability and i'm sure you'll nail it....to me it's a hard bassline but i'm just an average bassist I can play a simplified version no problem but it's a great bassline and deserves doing properly I will get it one day...all the best.
  25. thebigyin
    Easy???? we are talking original Fool for your Loving....it's a monster of a Bassline if you can work this out in an hour I tip my hat to you....been attempting this on and off for yonks and still can't play it properly.
