It's "pretty little ditty" by the chilis, and is great for bass players to learn as it covers a number of different techniques. Be aware though, that this has some tricky stuff in it. I don't want people to lose confidence because they can't do it! If you find it too hard (the chords especially), don't lose heart. Keep practicing with all the other vids I have posted, as well as the hand and tendon exercise. It will come in time, trust me...

Dmanlamius Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Ok, Added (in the list above) Interviews with Jean Baudin, and the great MarlowDK. A cool new two parter. It's "pretty little ditty" by the chilis, and is great for bass players to learn as it covers a number of different techniques. Be aware though, that this has tricky stuff in it. I don't want people to lose confidence because they can't do it! If you find it too hard (the chords especially), don't lose heart. Keep practicing with all the other vids I have posted, as well as the hand and tendon exercise. It will come in time, trust me... In the bass talk part: "I've got a blister, Mister." and "How to learn the notes of the bass fretboard". I hope some of this benefits you guys!
