    Tony Levin Bass Clinic

    I think the distinct lack of monitors was clearly a huge issue - we had the speakers pointing at us, and his bass was still FAR louder than the tracks - for him stood in front of his amp, playing an unfamiliar bass (in terms of set up and idiosyncrasies) with no monitoring, playing to tracks he hasn't played for months, by his own admission, I think he would have to be super-human to have got through them without a fluff or two...

    So was there some sloppiness in his playing? yup. Was it understandable in the setting yes? Was he making the best of a tricky situation (given that his whole thing is about being on stage with a band...)? yup.

    I really enjoyed it.

    it was a great evening - Tony's such a fantastic story-teller (if you haven't bought his book yet - Beyond The Bass Clef - go and order it from his website, www.tonylevin.com ) - and has such a wealth of experience that when coupled with that level of honesty and self-effacement (the bit about not being able to keep up with the LTE guys was priceless), makes for a great evening.

    I hope he does more of these... :)

    Steve Lawson - lessons in and around BIRMINGHAM (changed)

    Hey all,

    I'm back from 7 weeks in the States, and am teaching again, should anyone be interested. Am still in the middle of moving house, so am teaching in student's homes in and around London - £60 for a two hour lesson, including travel (that's the money includes the travel, not the time!), unless you're within 15 minutes of Watford/Rickmansworth, in which case I'll do one hour lessons for £30.

    For more info on teaching/music/me see www.stevelawson.net

    cheers!

    [quote name='Alun' post='19253' date='Jun 17 2007, 07:57 PM']From what I've read so far, it looks pretty good. Shame the proof reader missed Steve Lawson's column heading still referring to tapping chord extensions when this month's lesson is about syncopation.[/quote]

    ...to be fair, that's almost certainly because I sent it in far too late for them to edit it properly... :) Adrian does a great job of sorting out whatever I'm waffling on about each month, but when he gets it from me 10 minutes before it's meant to go to press, there are bound to be mistakes...

    must try harder to get my stuff in on time! :huh:
