I’ve just jumped back into the bass after 20 years + away.
I have also gone fretless after always being intrigued by it and loving the sound.
I did get fortunate and got a lined model I’d always admired but I do have an unlined arriving tomorrow, I digress
I’ve been an admirer of Tony Franklin for a good while and after watching through his videos on YouTube decided to purchase his fretless foundation on ‘TrueFire’
I wouldn’t call them ‘lessons’ as much as ‘Guides to improving’ exercises. His easy manner and attitude have certainly helped me more in the last couple of weeks than any pitch perfect practice by the book.
It is of course necessary to hit the right note at the right time but as it’s pointed out in one of the lessons if you miss a note, play it with conviction “that’s rock n roll”
I’m not affiliated with TrueFire or have any gain from linking this video, it’s just given me a more relaxed mindset to the fretless ‘scary unknown’ bass
