Hi I've just googled and googled Nathan East and I'm surprised that he played most of the Anita Baker stuff as well as other 'big' artists. I would've never thought that he'd be the guy behind all the grooves that I find amazing. I just wanted to know does anyone have any transcriptions of his work or somewhere where I can find them ? Also some of his 'well known' bass lines. Does he slap, as I've not seen, heard his slap work if there is any? ML

Yeah this book is amazing. You get the CD play along which has panned bass track which is a bonus for guys like me who can't read rhythms ! Love the DVD

Hi I wanted to know if there are any excercies you guys do to incorporate Modes whilst soloing or coming up with licks and so on. I've got an excercise which is playing the tonic and then all the modes that follow off of that. E.g C major, D Dorian and so on. To me this is quite linear but it does show me the places on the neck where I can play different sounding solos based on different modes. I think the question I'm asking is anyone here know of any other excercises that incorporate the modes that sink in over time ? Also how on earth do you remember which ones have a flat(this) or sharp (that) Or is that just getting my head down and working it out again and again and again .... Cheers Guys

I'd like go know about this as well !

Just another feedback thread ...

Yeah that's the app one of the guys I know was talking about. Shame I can't recall the name as I want it too ! Anyone know of the other app where just touching the screen will change pdf's without swiping ? You can also add a bluetooth pedal which will move the charts forward and back

Any of you guys bought the sight reading one that joe has or sale ? If so could you give some feedback, I'm really wanting to learn how to read but want a very intuitive book which will help me on the way Cheers

Anything with a slap bass line is always off limits

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1358585691' post='1941631'] i much prefer listening to Marcus Miller to anything Victor can put out.. dont get me wrong Victor's playing is fantastic but MM has that thing... im sure with a little googling you could find it... [/quote] I've been googling like mad ! But yeah Victor for me is more of a showman and Marcus is just Marcus

What I love about his playing/soloing is that he can just 'groove'. I prefer Marcus to Victor because his grooves as a sideman as well as soloist are amazing. What I LOVE are the rhythmic elements that he uses whilst slapping, all out percussive. I don't know if anyone can help me but I'm looking for his bass line to one of his solo works. It is a very melodic 'head' but I can not remmeber the name , only can hum it !

Hi Guys I have a bass which had a jack socket which kept cutting off. I soon replaced that with a neutrik jack socket, don't know if thats a help? Its working fine but for some reason when I plug my jack into it, it seems like it clicks in but then goes in a little more and then cuts out ? If i re jig the thing it then works fine as long as im sitting down and not moving ! anyone have any ideas ? ive tried putting the jack around the strap so the jack isnt pulled on but no use. Thanks Manraj

Hi guys forgive me for my 'thick' questions now At the momment i am being taught major chord tones and there inversions inside out, to create a walking bassline. How would you use the modes for a walking bassline ? Also how would you work out the relative mode for another mode eg. C lydian is the same as ' ...... ' ? Cheers guys

LOOl I'm just looking for a quicker way to playing these tunes before putting my head down and actually working them out ! Can't blame a guy for taking the easier route
