    No problem.

    If you understand the Circle Of 5ths, you learn one of the most important concepts in music theory. This circle gives you information about keys, key signatures, major & relative minors, intervals, chord sequences, enharmonics, and much more. Video lesson and free PDF download.

    No worries.

    Glad you enjoyed it. Had fun making it.

    Yes exactly that, we are just jamming the solo section.

    If you watched the lesson then you would have noticed me saying that we are jamming round the solo section NOT playing under the melody (where bass remains on G under the C7 chords as you pointed out) In the solo section it’s perfectly acceptable to move the groove to C.

    This video lesson is perfect for bassists who are wanting to explore and start playing jazz. I talk you through the chord sequence, give you some great ideas of what to play and then you can jam to the backing track. Free PDF available in the video description with standard notation & tab. https://gregsbassshed.com/videos

    Well before lockdown I had to record a Led Zep promo. We had a few hours to listen to the mp3s and read the charts we were given. The written music was extremely useful in speeding this process up and it also allowed me to know what these particular arrangements were in the session. A quick rehearsal and then we recorded. The written music was a great asset and pretty necessary in this situation. The Led Zep bass lines aren’t that hard to notate.

    I have now made another video lesson on Ska bass. There are three new Ska Bass Lines in the video and I talk about how to use techniques to create your own Ska bass line. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge in this thread. It’s kept me busy listening to a lot of new artists. If you have any questions once you have watched the video, I am happy to help.

    I was interested to see if this pedal is worth the cost. what do you think? Any other pedals you think compare to this, that cost less? Get the lowdown on the Carl Martin BassDrive pedal. Full demo with sound samples & the controls.

    Thanks, I’m pretty excited to be offering a reading music course. Been wanting to put one out for a long time. Although in my opinion, playing by ear is a necessary skill for bassists, I am also a great believer in the benefits that reading music can offer. In that, I come from the same direction as Jeff Berlin. I hope I’m more amicable in general on social media than Jeff though!

    Yep I absolutely agree with your point about practicing. A good teacher will give you ideas, direction, concepts, etc. but ultimately it’s down to the pupil to use this information and practice! Behind every great musician, there is a lot of self-discipline and hard work.

    Maybe you should get in touch with Mark and ask 😂 There is no doubt that Mark is a good teacher and the course sounds good value. One thing I would say though is lots of content is not necessary the best judge of a course value. If another course can get you from A to B in say 20 lessons then that actually might be better for those with less time.

    I agree with you. It needs to be a good teacher for one-to-one lessons or online courses. Some teachers don’t tailor lessons to each specific pupil and just teach from the same book or resources. I am thinking of offering an add-on to my reading music video course that I am releasing next month. This will be a Skype/zoom meeting at the end of each module of the course to discuss any questions that might have come up in the module. From feedback, I have learnt that some sort of support during an online course can often be beneficial. Maybe the best of both worlds?

    I make online tuition videos and courses and teach one-to-one. Out of the two methods of learning, I agree that one-to-one lessons with a good teacher are ultimately going to help you to progress more quickly as these lessons are tailored specifically for you. In my opinion online courses are second best to one-to-one lessons but can also be very useful and the fact is that it isn’t always practical or affordable to have one-to-one lessons.

    Are you working in Mark’s marketing department? 😜

    I’m sure a paid course by Zoltan will be worth the investment. He’s a great teacher/player with a wealth of real life experiences playing and teaching. He is also an amusing guy! But it’s all a matter of taste. We all like different teachers.

    Thanks for the recommendation.

    Pino did use a Stingray for the track. I haven’t got a fretless Stingray or I would have used it in my video.
  23. greghagger
    Thanks! Spend some time on it & you’ll be fine.
  24. greghagger
    Spot on! He’s so humble in that interview is he. What an awesome musician.

    I’ve made a video about Pino’s sublime fretless bass line on the intro to Paul Young’s, Wherever I Lay My Hat. Pino quotes an interesting source for part of the melody. Anyone know who that source is?
