    Learn an original Bass Line from Blues/Rock band,The Kendall Connection. This week I will be showing you how to play the bass line from Hello My Old Friend. This is a bass line that I recorded with The Kendall Connection. This song has a classic slow shuffle Blues feel, so you can use these lines when you play other songs in this style. Here is the link to the video. The free transcription PDF is available in the video description, with a Tab version too. https://youtu.be/Nu7sLGm47vk

    Thanks! (Always useful to have a specific answer).

    This video is a discussion on whether reading music is important or not. You can get a free Kick-Starter PDF guide to starting to read music. Details of this are in the video description on YouTube. I’d love to hear your opinions on this too. https://youtu.be/PJgEVCVdyi8

    I also have a new Greg Talks video out today where I discuss whether we should read music or not. I thought this might interest you on this thread. I will do a separate post for this, but here’s the link for the video: https://youtu.be/PJgEVCVdyi8

    Great, enjoy!

    Thanks. It’s a bit haphazard as it’s a collection of varied videos PDFs. So it’s a bit like a ‘pot luck’ of bass resources!! Still, I believe in giving out free resources as when I was learning, I couldn’t really afford much and appreciated any bass resources I could find. Hopefully it will also helps with my plan of world domination with Greg’s Bass Shed, although Scott may have got there first!

    I hope you find it useful. By the way this is the link to the videos for the eBook: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCDsrFCHIRaB2CK_NMqHQ1w

    I have a video lesson on how to play simple 3 note 7th chords. These can be really useful to help you hear different chord types and really start to learn how they sound. There is a PDF with the lesson, along with Tab too, so you should be able to get up and running quickly. This would be one approach to help you develop your ear. https://youtu.be/jzBvIKVKFI8

    Very similar to me, and I agree that there is no downside to being able to read music. My only caveat, is for someone learning, also work specially on developing your ear alongside learning to read.
  13. greghagger
    Thanks, I’ll check this out.

    Did you know that someone can bite the skin on your elbow, and you won’t feel pain?! Get someone to bite your elbow....

    Nice summary, thank-you!!! Very funny too!

    Learn the complete bass line from Dire Straits, Tunnel Of Love. This is another epic John Illsley bass line! The lesson comes with a free PDF of the entire bass line, and there is also a version with Tab. you can download that from the video description on YouTube. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/EbM5RtL9ugg

    To be honest, I started this thread to see if there was a need, and the interest in a reading music video course. It appears there definitely is! I have already started the making the course, and I’ll post any more details as I progress.

    Try speaking to theatre FOH guys, they read music, as do the technical crew who call the show. its a necessary skill for them.

    A triplet is normally an equal sub-division if 3 notes across 2 beats. It’s is easy to notate and communicate through written music. Written music is an excellent guide, but good players can still add feel and interpret the part how they wish. There is room for that when you read music. That’s where experience and a good ear really completes the picture. Of course though, some players might have a narrow field of music, and not need to read music.
  20. greghagger
    Hmmmm, not sure about this really. Written music can contain a lot of subtleties, and properly written music is far from crude.
  21. greghagger
    I agree, I have yet to find someone who reads music, say that it isn’t a worthy skill to have.
  22. greghagger
    You have got upon a very important point here. The ability to read music can save a lot of time.
  23. greghagger
    I would agree in so far as in certain situations, one skill might be more important than the other. But in my opinions they certainly compliment each other, and reading music is always going to add to one’s musicianship.
  24. greghagger
    Ah ok, yes I agree that some readers can’t ‘play by ear’. That skill should not be neglected either. I personally think that playing by ear and reading music are both necessary and complimentary skills. If you can do both, then you will have a lot of opportunities with music.

    But are they not using their ears to keep in tune and time?
