these lessons will not affect the update frequency of guitar lessons in any way - they will be added as bonus lessons in between the guitar updates. Sure then! When I record on the comp I lay the bass by pasting out dots with mouse clicks I've thought about getting an inexpensive bass to make that but realized it probably wouldn't sound good since I'd play it the guitar-way. -------------------- My bands homepage
All time favourites: B. Streisand - Woman in Love, M. Hopkin - Those were the days, L. Richie - Hello |

I am happy to see you guys think this sounds ok (all though you prefer Valentines day! ) - so I am going to introduce one of the bass instructors...
Hrvoje from Croatia ( I know - my eyes almost poped out when understood we are going to get another Croatian instructor - we should have moved the server to Croatia instead of the US ) However, here is how he shortly introduces himself: QUOTE I've started playing a bass guitar when I was 16 or 17, now i'm 21. I've never played an instrument before, and noone in my family does either. In that time i've listened nu-metal bands such as KoRn, Incubus, etc, they all have/had great bass players and that has influenced me to start playing. My first guitar was Squier P-bass Special, and it wasn't so bad at all. After my friend bass player gave me cd from "some" band PRIMUS, i've started to look things from different perspective, from that day Les Claypool was, and is bass-god for me. At one point, Squier was not good enough for me anymore. So I spent some time and money and build my bass from one old bass with broken neck, no electronics and hardware, no paint job - no future So you can say it's custom built by me Here is a quick Jam sample he recorded for this post: sample_audio_lackofinspiration.mp3 ( 813.06K ) Number of downloads: 197 He has prepared a little lesson schedule for us: QUOTE BASS EXERCISES
Lesson 1 BASIC SCALES minor fingering major fingering Lesson 2 BASIC FINGERSTYLE 2 or 3 finger playing constructing lines Lesson 3 BASIC SLAP I general slaping techinque slaping octaves Lesson 4 BASIC SLAP II hammer-on, pull-off slap left hand slap, tupplets Lesson 5 BASIC SLAP III exercises Lesson 6 BASIC TAPING I single string tap Lesson 7 BASIC TAPING 2 multiple string taping three string arpeggio … for now! still to do: advanced lessons + lots of exercises |

Hrvoje - do you like Presidents of the USA? I love them - and they are a little reminescent of Primus...
