I’m curious, what do you enjoy doing outside of music? It’s easy to get so caught up in music and forget that we are all real people here. Let me know, what are you into outside of music?

Yes bass family! This video was spurred on by a student I had this week who was looking at her muting. If you struggle with ringing open strings, try out these ideas. Community, what have you done that has helped you with string muting?

Yes, bass family! If you've been sucked into The rabbit hole that is Bass gear and pedals, I want to reopen the conversation that all you need is a Bass Amp and a Bass Guitar. You don't need all the pedals and different types of basses unless you're playing at the highest of levels, and even then NEED is an overstretch. Many of you will even argue if the bass Amp is still necessary, but as I mentioned in the video, nothing is quite like playing in front of an amp that is moving physical air. Let me know your thoughts. What stage are you at with your playing and how necessary is having multiple pedals and bases to choose from for you?

Hello bass family, I taught a great private lesson this morning and it reminded me on how effective getting just chord tones and pentatonics down can change your playing when combined with appropriate rhythm and weight in your sound. What do you feel is often overlooked or has changed the game in your playing?

What are you currently doing to improve on bass?
